The objective of this lab is to configure Etherchannel on a network consisting of two switches joined together using two cables. Etherchannel helps bundle multiple links connecting two network devices into one virtual link with a higher bandwidth. There are three methods of etherchannel configuration, two of which use negotiation protocols for interfaces to form […]

The objective of this lab is to configure the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) on two routers that are connecting a host device to the internet. Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) is a Cisco proprietary redundancy protocol that provides high availability service to a host device by allowing two or more routers to serve

In this lab, the objective is to configure a static route on a network consisting of three Cisco routers (R1, R2, and R3). A static route is a route added manually to the routing table that tells a router the path to reach a subnetwork. Network Topology The network topology for this lab is shown

In this lab, the objective is to configure the OSPF Multi-Area Network (depicted below) to enable route summarization. An OSPF multi-area network is a network that consists of numerous routers (often hundreds or thousands) organized into different areas. OSPF is configured in each of these specific areas with a different Area number. Typically, when a

In this lab, the objective is to configure the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) on a network consisting of five Cisco routers (R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5). EIGRP is a dynamic routing protocol that enables routers to share routing information and automatically adjust to changes in the network topology. Network Topology The network
