CCIE Routing & Switching Lab Workbook Volume III Version 4.

1 Lab 1

IEWB-RS-VOL3 Lab 1
Lab Overview:
The following scenario is a practice lab exam designed to help you develop your
speed and accuracy at configuring Cisco networking devices. Specifically, this
scenario is designed to assist you in your preparation for Cisco Systems’ CCIE
Routing and Switching Lab exam. The goal of this scenario is to configure and
verify complete layer 2 and layer 3 reachability as quickly as possible while
minimizing the usage of Cisco's documentation or the context sensitive help.
Ensure to track your time as you progress through each section and compare
your results with the specified target time.

Lab Instructions:

Prior to starting, ensure that the initial configuration scripts for this lab have been
applied. For a current copy of these scripts, see the Internetwork Expert
members site at [Link]

Refer to the attached diagrams for interface and protocol assignments. Any
reference to X in an address refers to your rack number, while any reference to Y
in an address refers to your router number.

Upon completion, all devices should have full IP reachability to all networks in the
routing domain, including any networks generated by the backbone routers
unless explicitly specified.
