Virtual Classroom e-Learning Outline
Virtual Classroom e-Learning content follows the Classroom
Learning outline above. Hands-on virtual labs are as follows:
Hands-On Lab 1: Routing Refresher
The "Routing Refresher" lab is an introductory
routing lab. It is an appropriate beginning point for most
routing students and specifically supports those preparing for
the Cisco CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 2: VLSM and Auto-Summarization
"VLSM and Auto-Summarization" builds on the simple
network structure shown in "Routing Refresher" by
adding support for VLSM and discussing automatic summarization.
This lab begins with the correct configuration from "AR1:
Routing Refresher" and is an appropriate next step for
students preparing for the Cisco CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 3: Initial OSPF Configuration
"Initial OSPF Configuration" introduces OSPF in an
uncomplicated environment. This lab begins with the correct
configuration from "VLSM and Auto-Summarization" and
is an appropriate next step for students preparing for the Cisco
CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 4: OSPF in NBMA
"OSPF in NBMA" adds complexity to the topics
learned in "Initial OSPF Configuration" by discussing
how OSPF handles Frame Relay. This lab begins with the correct
configuration from "Initial OSPF" and is an
appropriate next step for students preparing for the Cisco
CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 5: Multi-area OSPF
"Multi-Area OSPF" adds complexity to the topics
learned in "Initial OSPF Configuration" and "OSPF
in NBMA" by discussing how OSPF scales to larger networks.
This lab begins with the correct configuration from "OSPF
in NBMA" and is an appropriate next step for students
preparing for the Cisco CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 6: Stub-areas and Virtual Links
"OSPF Stub Areas and Virtual Links" adds even more
complexity to the network "Multi-Area OSPF" by adding
the concept of Stub Areas and Virtual Links. This lab begins
with the correct configuration from "Multi-Area OSPF"
and is an appropriate next step for students preparing for the
Cisco CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 7: EIGRP Basic Configuration
Students with OSPF experience will be amazed at how much less
complicated "EIGRP Basic Configuration" is. This lab
begins with the correct configuration from "OSPF Stub Areas
and Virtual Links" and is an appropriate next step for
students preparing for the Cisco CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 8: EIGRP in a NBMA Environment and tuning EIGRP
"EIGRP in NBMA" builds on the network structure
shown in "EIGRP Basic Configuration" by considering
EIGRP behavior in an NBMA (Non-Broadcast Multi-Access)
environment. This lab begins with the correct configuration from
"EIGRP Basic Configuration" and is an appropriate next
step for students preparing for the Cisco CCNP-track routing
exam.
Hands-On Lab 9: Real World BGP tables
"Real World BGP" takes us to a public BGP router so
that we can see current Internet routing tables. This lab is an
appropriate next step for students who have finished "EIGRP
In NBMA" and are preparing for the Cisco CCNP-track routing
exam.
Hands-On Lab 10: EBGP
"eBGP" showcases BGP's function as an external
routing protocol. This lab begins with the correct configuration
from "EIGRP In NBMA" and is an appropriate next step
for students preparing for the Cisco CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 11: Full Mesh IBGP
"Full Mesh IBGP" examines how BGP works within an
Autonomous System (AS). This lab begins with the correct
configuration from "eBGP" and is an appropriate next
step for students preparing for the Cisco CCNP-track routing
exam.
Hands-On Lab 12: BGP Route Reflectors and Prefix Lists
"BGP Route Reflectors and Prefix Lists" examines
route reflecting and filtering in iBGP. This lab begins with the
correct configuration from "Full Mesh IBGP" and is an
appropriate next step for students preparing for the Cisco
CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 13: Multihomed BGP
"Multihomed BGP" looks at connections from an AS to
multiple transit AS. This lab begins with the correct
configuration from "BGP Route Reflectors and Prefix
Lists" and is an appropriate next step for students
preparing for the Cisco CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 14: Policy Based Routing
"Policy-Based Routing" examines route-maps as a way
to override routing decisions. This lab begins with the correct
configuration from "Multihomed BGP" and is an
appropriate next step for students preparing for the Cisco
CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 15: Route Redistribution
"Route Redistribution" discusses how route
information is communicated between different routing processes.
This lab begins with the correct configuration from
"Policy-Based Routing" and is an appropriate next step
for students preparing for the Cisco CCNP-track routing exam.
Hands-On Lab 16: Controlling the Routing
Table
"Controlling the Routing Table" discusses how route
information is communicated between different routing processes,
and goes on to discuss ways to control this information. This
lab begins with the correct configuration from "Route
Redistribution" and is an appropriate final step for
students preparing for the Cisco CCNP-track routing exam.
