A Cisco Router Lab is a hands-on practice environment for learning, configuring, and troubleshooting Cisco networks from the foundational CCNA level all the way to the expert CCIE level.
This hands-on lab covers verifying PoE capability on a switch port, checking how much power is being drawn by a connected device such as an IP phone or access point, and configuring power priority to protect critical devices during a power budget shortage.
This hands-on lab covers checking a Windows PC's current IP configuration using both the graphical Network Connections interface and the command-line ipconfig utility, including releasing and renewing a DHCP-assigned address.
This hands-on lab covers checking a Linux machine's current IP configuration using both the GUI network settings panel and command-line tools, and demonstrates renewing a DHCP lease using standard Linux networking utilities.
This hands-on lab covers checking a Mac's current IP configuration using the System Settings network panel, viewing detailed TCP/IP information, and renewing a DHCP lease directly from the graphical interface.
This hands-on lab covers creating standard-range VLANs, assigning access ports to them, and verifying that devices in different VLANs are properly isolated from each other at Layer 2.
This hands-on lab configures VLAN Trunking Protocol between a server switch and a client switch, demonstrating how VLANs created on the server automatically propagate to the client without manual configuration on every device.
