PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) can be one of the more challenging configuration topics on the CCNA exam. Why? First, many network engineers ignore PPPoE as something that is configured only occasionally. Then, when faced with configuring it, you can follow
Can you configure SNMP version 2C without looking up the commands? Can you secure it with what effectively acts like passwords? You know the drill: go try the original lab exercise first, and then come back here to check your
Interestingly, Cisco added a couple of smaller management-oriented protocols – including SNMP – to the CCNA R&S exam mix when they changed the exams back in 2013 (exams 100-101, 200-101, 200-120). SNMP which allows management software to send and receive
Unidirectional PAP authentication – sounds like a lot to do, but it just takes a few commands. Check out the requirements back in the lab post, create your answers, and come back here to check your work.
PPP authentication has been around for a long time with both Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). Although most people use CHAP (for stronger authentication), practicing PAP from the CLI can be useful for rounding out
Once you have read through the book’s material for RIPv2, it should only take two or three good RIP labs to get comfortable with RIP configuration. This latest lab should help you with that bit of practice. You know the
RIP Version 2 (RIPv2) configuration requires the use of network command to indirectly enable RIP on router interfaces. This lab asks you to configure RIP by choosing the correct parameters for the RIPv2 network command, please consider a few other
Know how to limit the number of RIP routes to each destination? How to enable RIP on an interface – but to not send Update messages out that interface? How to make RIP not summarize routes for classful networks? The
It’s baaack… RIPv2 is back, and in the new ICND1 book per the new ICND1 100-105 exam topics announced May 2016. The book’s out now. RIP Version 2 (RIPv2) configuration requires a series of RIP network commands, but it also
This latest lab is actually pretty simple in terms of logic. The real trick is to get that first basic understanding of the archive feature in IOS, and then to remember the commands. Try for yourself first, and then come
