Packet Tracer Online Submissions

Each of these activities will be submitted using the Packet Tracer ScoreUP Online Submission process. Points will be earned for each submitted activity based on correctness and completion of the activity. You will see a completion percentage for each activity in the Packet Tracer software before submitting. If you find that any of these activities do not show points or completion in Packet Tracer you should include them in the lab report for the module (see below) instead.

Lab Reports

For each module having lab activities you will need to submit one lab report which covers all of the lab activities listed below in the module. You do not need to submit answers to the questions in the activities, those are for your own learning use only. Lab activities may include remote equipment access, campus equipment, or packet tracer activities. If a lab activity is listed as a "lab" below it should be completed on real equipment either on campus or remotely and may not be completed in Packet Tracer. Your instructor will provide details on accessing real lab equipment. If you work with a partner on a lab you only need to submit a single lab report for the two of you but it must have both your names on it. Each lab report (one per module with activities) is worth up to 20 points.

Note: The password for CAASP Pod PCs in Netlab is: Cisco123

1. Lab 2.7.2 - Single-Area OSPFv2 Configuration
2. Lab 3.8.8 - Explore DNS Traffic
   • NOTE: This lab activity requires using Wireshark on an Internet connected PC. We don't have it setup in Netlab yet so you can do it on your home computer or a lab computer on campus.
3. PT 4.1.4 - ACL Demonstration
4. Lab 5.5.2 - Configure and Verify Extended IPv4 ACLs
   • NOTE: When enabling HTTPS on newer Cisco devices you must map the HTTPS server to a trustpoint (certificate) on the router. See this StackExchange question for details on how to do this.
5. PT 6.2.7 - Investigate NAT Operations
6. Lab 6.8.2 - Configure NAT for IPv4
7. PT 7.6.1 - WAN Concepts
8. PT 10.1.5 - Use CDP to Map a Network
9. PT 10.2.6 - Use LLDP to Map a Network
10. Lab 10.6.11 - Use Tera Term to Manage Router Configuration Files
11. Lab 10.6.12 - Use TFTP, Flash, and USB to Manage Configuration Files
    • NOTE: If you are working on a device with multiple IP interfaces it is sometimes required to set a default source interface which will be used by TFTP for communicating with the TFTP server. Some Cisco devices do not seem to automatically pick a correct source interface. When this happens you can end up with a situation where you can ping from the device to the TFTP server's IP address but you are unable to send or receive files over TFTP. For example, in this lab on the router we're only setting an IP on G0/0/1 so that would be the one we should set as the source interface like "ip tftp source-interface gi0/0/1"
12. Lab 10.6.13 - Research Password Recovery Procedures
    • After researching the recovery procedures set a hostname and enable password on a router and save the configuration. Try to reset the password on the router while keeping the hostname set the same following the procedures you have researched.
    • NOTE: If you are working on remote lab equipment you can do password recovery too, the process is a little different but our system does allow you to power on and off network devices as well as to send the BREAK command to devices which are the basics for router password recovery. Recovering passwords on switches can require physical access to hold down a button on the switch while powering up unless some additional configuration is done so you should not try setting an unknown password on a remotely accessed lab switch. See this video showing the password recovery process on Netlab.
13. Lab 10.8.2 - Configure CDP, LLDP, and NTP
    • NOTE: Some Cisco devices do not have "hardware clocks" (also known as "calendars) anymore so if you are unable to get the "ntp update-calendar" command to work in Part 4, Step 4b it may not exist on your device.
14. PT 11.5.1 - Compare Layer 2 and Layer 3 Devices
15. PT 12.6.1 - Troubleshooting Challenge - Document the Network
16. Lab 13.6.1 - Install Linux in a Virtual Machine and Explore the GUI
    • NOTE: It is suggested you complete this lab on your home computer if it has enough RAM to run the VM. However, if you need a Netlab system to install on please contact your instructor.

Homework

Labs & Homework

Lab Reports

You are responsible for completing ALL of these labs. You must submit a lab report about each lab you do. If you work with a partner on a lab you only need to submit a single lab report for the two of you but it must have both your names on it. Each lab is worth 20 points. This falls into the Labs/Homework category of your course grade. Labs is this course will not be able to be successfully completed in Packet Tracer, you will need to use real lab equipment either remotely or on-campus. Your instructor will provide details about accessing lab equipment.

Note: The password for CAASP Pod PCs in Netlab is: Cisco123

• Lab 2.6.1.2: Securing the Router for Administrative Access
  • Note: The IHCC Netlab system uses Cisco 4331 routers, per the lab instructions these do not support image resilience so you will skip part 4, task 1.
  • Note: It is very important that you make certain that IOS Image Resilience is disabled before you leave the lab! See part 4, task 1, steps 5 & 6 for instructions.
• Lab 3.6.1.1: Securing Administrative Access Using AAA and RADIUS
  • Note: The WinRadius software used in this lab can be difficult to locate online. A local copy is available on the D drive of campus lab systems in the D:\CNT Files\CCNA Security Materials folder and in the "CCNA Security Files" folder on the desktop of Netlab systems.
• Lab 4.4.1.2: Configuring Zone-Based Policy Firewalls
  • Note: You should attempt the "Challenge" section located at the end of this lab. You must also complete the "Appendix - Multiple Interfaces under the Same Zone" section at the end of the lab.
• Lab 6.3.1.1: Securing Layer 2 Switches
• Lab 8.4.1.3: Configuring a Site-to-Site VPN Using Cisco IOS
  • HINT: If you have a problem configuring IPSec on a router it's possible the Security license is not active.
• Lab 9.3.1.2: Configuring ASA Basic Settings and Firewall Using CLI
  • Note: If you have problems connecting to the ASA with a web browser and receive errors such as a "cipher mismatch" it's likely that the 3DES/AES license has not been activated yet on your ASA. This is a free process where you can request a license key from Cisco by entering the serial number of your ASA (from the show version output which can also verify that the VPN-3DES-AES feature is not active) into a web form on the Cisco site and then entering the resulting activation key into your ASA. Instructions for doing this can be found on the Cisco ASA Documentation wiki page.
• Lab 10.1.4.8: Configuring ASA Basic Settings and Firewall Using ASDM
  • Note: You may need to adjust your Java security settings in order to run ASDM from the ASA's webpage. Recent versions of Java have restricted the ability to run unsigned Java applets from websites due to the possible security issues of running untrusted code from a website locally on your system. Java security settings can be found in the Java section of your system's control panel.
  • NOTE: If you have problems launching ASDM on Windows 10 check the Cisco ASA Documentation page for a fix. It also wouldn't hurt to make sure you have the latest ASA and ASDM software installed on the ASA, instructions for updating those are also on the Cisco ASA Documentation page.
• Lab 10.2.1.9: Configure a Site-to-Site IPsec VPN between an ISR and an ASA
• Lab 10.3.1.1: Configure Clientless Remote Access SSL VPNs Using ASDM
• Lab 10.3.1.2: Configure AnyConnect Remote Access SSL VPN Using ASDM
  • NOTE: The Anyconnect package may not be installed on your ASA, follow the instructions on the Cisco ASA Documentation page to install it if it's missing.
• Lab 11.3.1.2: CCNA Security Comprehensive Lab
