A note to students and teachers This manual was developed to prepare students for hands-on training to accompany classroom lectures on CISCO networking theory for the CISCO CCNA examination. These labs are intended to supplement and enhance the Cisco Networking Academy Program with additional information, explanations, and laboratory materials, not to replace them. Think of this like a “cliff’s notes” to accompany the curriculum. If you are looking for a lot of theory, then you have got the wrong book. This book uses a bunch of educational theory and the book should be used from the start to the finish. For example, in early labs ip addresses and related information is given. The later labs assume you have a good grasp of addressing and can choose your own. Yeah, I know it can stink but understanding subnetting is a critical part of an entrylevel technician in networking and the “standard” Cisco curriculum does not address this very well. Also I put an emphasis on troubleshooting and critical thinking to a much deeper extent than the official curriculum. All labs and exercises contain four basic parts: 1. An objective section giving a brief topic for exploration in the lab or exercise 2. A tools and materials list 3. Steps needed to complete the lab or exercise 4. Supplemental lab or exercise challenge activities Some sections include background information if needed. Please keep in mind that equipment and IOS variations can cause differences between what is within this book and what you may actually see. Some of the labs contain “guest router names” that are borrowed from computer security history. I do this to spice up the labs a bit and give you a cross-reference and some history of computer security. I even got an email from a past member of the LOD which was really cool. Keep them emails coming!

Keep track of updates and changes at http://www.spcollege.edu/star/cisco Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the “Lab Manual Edits.”

Do you have a lab that you want in this book? Send it in and we’ll give you written credit for developing the lab if we pick it for use in our next book. We do, however, reserve the right to reformat the “look” of the lab to be similar to the style in this book and to do any minor edits. Before it appears in the newest version of the book you will still have the final say-so on any changes. After all this is about an open source effort and I feel giving the book away embodies the spirit of open source. The labs must be done using MS Word or compatible format. Sorry to all the Mac/OS users.

Part 1: Foundations of Cisco Networking

Here in this section I break it up into three big chunks. In the first part I wanted to give you a good overview of Cisco, Cisco certifications, testing and searching for stuff on Cisco’s website. The next part I cover some foundational information about workstations that are particularly relevant to our labs here. I left the ones with Windows 98 because I figured there still would be some schools out there somewhere that may need them. I also did some of the stuff for Windows 2000 that should also be pretty close for ME and XP. Now here is the real deal: I put some labs in for Knoppix STD, a Linux-like free operating system (Security Tools Distribution). Long live open source! Do you want Cisco’s operating system? I heard you could find it in China somewhere! Just kidding. The last section covers a whole bunch of networking topics that should bring you up to speed for the Cisco labs. It would really do you some good if you want to make a living doing this stuff to go out and take a couple of PC repair classes, a couple of Microsoft Networking classes, and a couple of Linux classes along with the CCNA.

1a. Cisco Foundations

They said “I was crazy!” How do you like the idea of free and low-cost textbooks? Well here is how you can help me in the effort to bring more of these types of books to you. They say there is safety in numbers, well I can promote this type of textbook production way better if I hear from you personally. Send me an email at [email protected] just to tell me you are using the book, you like the idea of cheaper high-quality books, or to just say “hello.” Together we will change education for the better!

Searching CISCO for CCNA Test information Objective: To learn how to find out the latest CCNA test information from the CISCO website. Step-By-Step Instructions: 1. Open a browser window. 2. Navigate to www.cisco.com. You should see something like this (remember web pages are frequently updated so you may have to “wing it” a bit…never rely on the web to stay the same):

Feel free to take some time and just enjoy the scenery. There are actually some freebies you can sign up for like Packet magazine and some white papers. You just got to love the free stuff. What’s that? You are a bit confused…don’t worry we’ll hit all the important stuff as it pertains to this book.

Hungry for more??? You are almost there for the CompTIA Network+ and Security+ Certifications too! For more information: http://www.comptia.org/certification/default.aspx

3. Next, on the left hand side you should see a link under the “Learning and Events” link. After clicking on it then you should see:

4. Then (as shown in the above picture) click on the link for “exam information.” The page you should see next is:

13

5. Click on the link for “Certification Exams.” It will take you to the page for current exams and outlines (isn’t that nice?). You should see:

6. Click on the link for the current CCNA exam (probably the one at the top) when this book went to print it was “640-801” and another window should open. You should see:

7. Again, scroll down a bit and you should see some available options (hyperlinks). Let’s “dissect” the page a bit…some helpful links and information:

Practice simulation very general topics…really not too much help 8. The “Preview Course Simulation Lab” link will open another page. To learn more about the simulation tool, use the graphic tutorial links. You may want to spend some time going through the instructions. Figure out if short-cut keystrokes are allowed or not. Your actual CCNA exam may contain some of these simulations. 9. Also look at the description of exam topics. Yeah, I know…they stink. It is kind of getting a recipe with no name and just some of the ingredients without any sort of instructions or amounts to use. Just make sure you feel comfortable with the subjects. The typical Cisco test over parts 1 through 3 will also require you to know parts 4, 5, and 6. Take that sentence for what you want. Use this to guide your studies as you progress through your CCNA training. Not every one of those topics is covered here in this book because this book was not designed to replace the Cisco curriculum, but to be used to enhance and supplement it. So what have I learned here? In this lab you have learned how to find the CCNA test objectives. Consider this sort of a “table of contents” for your studies, even though CISCO is extremely vague with their test information. It really doesn’t help all that much. Remember that people are always updating their websites so you may have to do a little winging it. In any event, even though you are not ready for the CCNA test, you should keep those objectives in mind while studying and you should start spending more time at the Cisco website. Later, during your employment as a Cisco technician the more skilled you are at navigating their website, the more successful you should be as a technician. 15

CCNA PREP CENTER INSTRUCTIONS

16

Registering for Your CCNA Exam Objective: To learn how to register for the current CCNA test. Question and Answers about the CCNA: Where can I register? With any prometrics center. You can also call 1-800-204-EXAM for more information. Or, you can also go to a VUE testing center. How much does it cost? $125 per attempt for each test. (Don’t flame me if it changes…blame it on printed stuff) What is a passing score? For CCNA 849 of 1000 is a passing score. There are about 45-55 questions to complete in 75 minutes. At least on the newer test questions are weighted. Some of those pick three of six questions give you partial credit for being close. What is it like? The new test has simulations and drag and drop questions. It is Cisco’s attempt at a practical exam for CCNA. Supposedly if you cannot work...
