Labs
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.
- CCNA 2 SBA Review Lab
- Lab 2.6.1.2: Securing the Router for Administrative Access
- 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 your lab systems in the D:\CNT Files\CCNA Security Materials folder and a link is in the Student Resources page of the introductory module to the course in NetSpace.
- 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 5.4.1.1: Configure an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
- Note: Support files for this lab including the IPS signature files can be found in the D:\CNT Files\CCNA Security Materials folder on your lab computer.
- Note: Your router which is being used for IPS must have enough memory to compile the IPS signatures. Not all routers in the lab rooms have the same amount of memory, ask your instructor which routers have the additional memory required.
- Lab 6.3.1.1: Securing Layer 2 Switches
- Lab 8.4.1.3: Configuring a Site-to-Site VPN Using Cisco IOS
- 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 here or here.
- 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.
- 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
- Lab 11.3.1.2: CCNA Security Comprehensive Lab
