Enable and verify DNS-based name resolution on Cisco IOS. R1 will use a central DNS resolver on the management LAN and also maintain a static host mapping for R2, demonstrating resolution order and operational differences between local host tables and DNS queries.

Practice deterministic VLSM planning and interface addressing on two Cisco IOS routers. Starting from a single /24, allocate three right-sized IPv4 subnets (two LANs represented by loopbacks and one router-to-router WAN) and configure exact interface addresses and masks. No routing protocols or static routes are configured; verification focuses on directly connected reachability and show commands.

Advanced CCNP lab focused on diagnosing and correcting IPv4 interface addressing issues on Cisco IOS routers. The lab ships pre-broken with two independently failing faults that the learner must find and fix using show commands and directed pings. No routing protocols or static routes are used — verification is limited to directly-connected neighbor and gateway reachability.

Configure a Cisco IOS router to host two IPv4 /24 subnets on a single physical LAN interface using a secondary address. Verify directly-connected reachability only (no routing protocols, no static routes). This simulates a readdressing coexistence period where both old and new subnets must operate concurrently on the same segment.

Beginner CCNA lab (1 of 10) focused on configuring and verifying IPv4 interface addressing on Cisco IOS routers. Learners assign given /24 addresses to two router interfaces and validate directly-connected reachability. No routing protocols or static routes are configured in this lab.

Hands-on IPv4 subnetting and interface addressing on three IOS routers and one client. You will split a /24 into four equal /26s, assign the correct /26 mask to each link, and configure deterministic lowest-usable addressing on router interfaces. No routing protocols or static routes are used; verification is strictly directly-connected reachability.

Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure IPv6 global unicast addresses on directly connected links only. No routing protocols or static routes. Verify that each device can reach only its directly connected neighbors using IPv6.

Build confidence addressing IPv4 point-to-point WAN links on Cisco IOS using /30 and /31 masks. Two routers are connected by two parallel links: one classic /30 and one RFC 3021 /31. No routing protocols or static routes are configured — the goal is deterministic, correct interface addressing and verification of directly connected reachability. A small LAN off R1 with two hosts allows additional verification (host-to-gateway only).

Configure and verify dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 addressing on Cisco IOS router interfaces. R1-R2 share a /30 IPv4 and /64 IPv6 point-to-point transit, while R1 provides a dual-stack user LAN gateway. No routing protocols or router static routes are permitted; verify only directly connected reachability.

Advanced IPv6 interface addressing on Cisco IOS routers. Configure explicit, predictable IPv6 link-local addresses alongside global unicast addresses on a point-to-point router-to-router link. Validate with show commands and neighbor pings using the link-local as the destination, and confirm host-to-gateway reachability on local LANs. No routing protocols or static routes are used; focus is strictly on interface IPv6 addressing mechanics.

Configure IPv6 global unicast on a router-to-router link using EUI-64-derived interface IDs. Enable IPv6 unicast routing, set explicit link-local addresses, and verify that each router auto-forms its 64-bit interface ID from the MAC (FFFE insertion with U/L bit flip). Validate directly-connected reachability only. No routing protocols or static routes.

Two-router /30 point-to-point lab. R1 is an authoritative UTC NTP master (stratum 3). Configure R2 as an NTP client to R1 and display local time in MST/MDT while remaining synchronized to UTC. Reinforces that NTP distributes UTC and the router applies timezone/daylight-saving only to presentation.
