Doing labs helps you move from book-knowledge to real skills, and doing labs that repeat the same examples found in the book can be a great bridge to that effort. This next post continues our series to help you do
Static routes may be the exception for most networks, but they make a great learning tool for newbies. The ICND1 100-105 book’s Chapter 32 hits static IPv6 routes (along with connected routes). Come join the fun with some Packet Tracer
IPv6 addresses can be long and confusing when you first learn about them. Configuring the addresses, seeing devices abbreviate them, interpreting those abbreviations, and thinking through addresses in devices that use EUI-64 rules can really help solidify your understanding of
Short and icky sweet: this post lists answers for the icky EUI-64 drill 1 for #ICND2 and #CCNA. The problems require you to find the IPv6 address a host or router would use, given a prefix, MAC address, and assuming
This post starts a new type of review post for #ICND2 or #CCNA: the icky EUI-64 drill. It’s icky for two reasons: it requires you to think in binary, and it rhymes. The goal: Starting with a MAC address and
In this lab, you have to configure global unicast addresses, which does not require a lot of thinking. The harder part is the contrived part that lets you review some modified EUI-64 math, making you manipulate hexadecimal values to determine
IPv6 addresses just take a little getting used to. This next lab gives you same reps with configuring Global Unicast addresses, while giving you a few mind-bending exercises to make you think about Link Local addresses and EUI-64. I would
Ready to play detective? Go back and check out the lab post, and take your best shot at predicting the configuration. Then come back here and check your thoughts versus the answer. The theme: interpreting the unicast and multicast addresses
This latest config lab takes a backwards approach to configuration. In this case, it starts with a bunch of show commands, and asks you to derive some of the key configuration items on several routers. The theme: IPv6 addressing. By
This most recent lab asked you to configure a bunch of static IPv6 routes on the same router. Some had the exact same destination subnet, and some created host routes that overlapped with other static routes. And all were assigned
