Description:

\r\n\r\n

I created this lab with the goal to practice establishing calls in Packet Tracer at the CCNA level. The lab has no strict requrements, use provided free resource, practice what you studied to configure DHCP pools, telephony service, and port security.

\r\n\r\nDownload the lab \”20211220 VoIP, PortSec, DHCP\” from MY GITHUB, it is the fourth one in the LAB LIST, and, as previously, with this lab are associated 2 .pkt files, one with the suffix \”empty\” – that’s the initial state with default configurations, you can try solving the lab for yourself but if you get stuck you can check-out my solution – with \”finished\” it’s name.

\r\n\r\nFor in-between details not mentioned here or shown in the .pkt, choose for yourself. Additionally, use this topology to practice other networking concepts.

\r\n\r\nIMPORTANT: Install the latest version (at least version 8.0.1.0064) of PACKET TRACER to be able to open these .pkt files.

\r\n\r\nLet me know if you’d like to see a specific CCNA concept covered with a Packet Tracer lab from me. Have fun, gain skills and happy upcoming holidays!

I saw this topology online, made a CCNA level lab out of it, and you can now download it from MY GITHUB to practice configuring DHCP relay, DNS, SSH v2 and NTP.

\r\n\r\nOn the Github link you will find the lab by name \”20211201 DHCPrelay, NTP\”, it is the third one in the LAB LIST, and with this lab are associated 2 .pkt files, one with the suffix \”empty\” – that’s the initial state with default configurations, you can try solving the lab for yourself but if you get stuck you can check-out my solution – with \”finished\” it’s name.

\r\n\r\nFor in-between details not mentioned here or shown in the .pkt, choose for yourself. Additionally, use this topology to practice other networking concepts.

\r\n\r\nIMPORTANT: Install the latest version (at the moment of writing, version 8.0.1.0064) of PACKET TRACER to be able to open these .pkt files.

LAB: EtherChannel L2, HSRP, OSPF

Posted on by Aleksandra

Description

There is a “CCNA and above” level lab on my Github to practice configuring EtherChannel, HSRP and OSPF.

On the Github link you will find the lab by name “20211124 L2 EtherChannel, HSRP, OSPF”, it is the second one in the Lab list, and with this lab are associated 2 .pkt files, one with the suffix “empty” – that’s the initial state with default configurations, you can try solving the lab for yourself but if you get stuck you can check-out my solution – with “finished” it’s name.

For in-between details not mentioned in the lab or shown in the .pkt, choose for yourself.
Additionally, use this topology to practice other networking concepts: HSRP interface tracking, use of ACLs, NATting, spanning-tree protocol standard and priority change, PAgP EtherChannel, port security, etc.

IMPORTANT: Install the latest version (at the moment of writing, version 8.0.1.0064) of Packet Tracer to be able to open these .pkt files.

Description

 

I saw this lab online, solved it, and you can download the completed lab or just the initial state to practice Inter-VLAN Routing using Layer 3 switch for free from my Github.

On the Github link you will find the lab by name “20211122_InterVLAN Routing”, it is the first one in the Lab list, and with this lab are associated 2 .pkt files, one with the suffix “empty” – that’s the initial state with default configurations, you can try solving the lab for yourself but if you get stuck you can check-out my solution – with “finished” it’s name.

 

IMPORTANT: Download the latest version (at the moment of writing, version 8.0.1.0064) of Packet Tracer from HERE to be able to open the lab!
