2 hands-on Access Edge scenarios you build in your own Cisco Modeling Labs instance and grade against the answer key. Focused Access Edge configuration and troubleshooting practice for CCNA and CCNP.
Harden the campus access edge by capping broadcast traffic per-port with storm control. In this lab you will apply a broadcast ceiling on the user-facing access ports only, choosing a shutdown action if exceeded, and verify that normal host connectivity remains intact. The uplink to the default gateway/DHCP server is trusted and must not be rate-limited.
Harden the Layer-2 access edge by enabling DHCP Snooping on a single access switch and placing the trust boundary only toward the legitimate DHCP server/gateway. Validate with show commands and end-host connectivity.
