Lessons Lesson 1: Building a Simple Network Functions of Networking Securing the Network Host-to-Host Communication Model TCP/IP's Internet Layer TCP/IP's Transport Layer Packet Delivery Process (between Hosts) Understanding Ethernet Connecting to an Ethernet LAN Lesson 2: Ethernet LANs Challenges of Shared LANs Solving Network Challenges with Switched LAN Technology Packet Delivery Process (through a Switch) Operating Cisco IOS Software Starting a Cisco Switch Switch Security Maximizing the Benefits of Switching Troubleshooting Switch Issues Lesson 3: Wireless Local Area Networks Exploring Wireless Networking (including IEEE 802.11n) WLAN Security Implementing a WLAN Voice over IP (VoIP) Requirements Lesson 4: LAN Connections Functions of Routing Binary Basics Constructing a Network Addressing Scheme Starting a Cisco Router Configuring a Cisco Router Packet Delivery Process (through a Router) Cisco Router Security Using Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) Using a Router as a DHCP Server Accessing Remote Devices Lesson 5: Wide Area Networks WAN Technologies Enabling the Internet Connection Enabling Static Routing Configuring Serial Encapsulation Enabling Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Lesson 6: Network Environment Management Discovering Neighbors on the Network Managing Router Startup and Configuration Managing Cisco Devices Labs Lab 1: Initial PC Setup with DHCP and Host-Based Tools Use Windows applications and commands to investigate the IP configuration of your PC and the local network. Lab 2: Observing the TCP Three-Way Handshake Use packet sniffer software to observe the TCP initial Three-Way Handshake. Lab 3: Testing Connectivity in an IP Network Use PC Tools, such as ping, traceroute, and ipconfig, to gather network-related information. Lab 4: Enhanced - Initial Wiring (Optional) Examine the connectivity of your pod equipment that will be used for the router and switch lab practice exercises. Lab 5: Switch Startup and Initial Configuration Connect to your workgroup switch and complete the initial configuration. Lab 6: Enhancing Security of the Switch Configuration Increase the security of the initial switch configuration. Lab 7: Operating and Configuring a Cisco IOS Device Practice and demonstrate the use of the Command Line Interface (CLI) features. Lab 8: Converting Decimal to Binary and Binary to Decimal (Exercise) Test your ability to convert numbers from binary to decimal and decimal to binary. Lab 9: Classifying IP Addresses (Exercise) Classify IP addresses and convert IP addresses from decimal to binary format and/or binary to decimal format. Lab 10: Computing Subnets and Hosts (Exercise) Calculate the number of bits that are required in the mask for a given number of subnets, and calculate the number of host addresses that are available on each subnet. Lab 11: Calculating Subnet Masks (Exercise) Based on specific criteria provided, determine the subnet mask used, the binary and decimal format of the mask, the subnet address, the range of host addresses, and the directed broadcast address. Lab 12: Enhanced - Router Startup and Initial Configuration Connect to your routers and complete the initial configuration. Add commands to improve the usability of the CLI. Lab 13: Enhancing the Security of the Router and Switch Configuration Increase the security of the initial router configuration and add port security to the switch configuration. Lab 14: Using Security Device Manager (SDM) to Configure DHCP Server Functions Use the Cisco SDM to configure DHCP server functionality on one of your workgroup routers. Lab 15: Managing Remote Access Sessions Utilize Telnet and SSH to create connections to your workgroup devices. Lab 16: Enhanced - Using SDM to Configure DHCP Client and PAT Use the Cisco SDM to configure DHCP client, DHCP server, and Port Address Translation (PAT) functionality on your workgroup routers. Lab 17: Enhanced - Configuring HDLC, PPP, and a Static Route Configure the serial interface on your router to use HDLC and PPP encapsulation, and configure a static route. Lab 18: Enhanced - Enabling Frame Relay and RIPv2 Configure your routers to connect to each other and to the core router via a serial interface using Frame Relay, and configure the RIPv2 protocol between the routers. Lab 19: Using CDP Obtain information about your directly connected Cisco device using CDP and disable CDP from running on interfaces connected to the core router. Lab 20: Managing Router Startup Operations Make changes to control the router startup behavior, such as configuring boot commands and changing configuration register settings. Lab 21: Managing Cisco Devices Practice using the IOS copy and debug commands. Lab 22: Enhanced - Troubleshooting Switch and Router Configurations Using all the skills that you have learned, assume the management of an incorrectly configured network. You will need to discover and correct errors and then verify that the new configuration is functioning as expected.
