This blog post simply lists the answers to the earlier Config VM from a few days ago. As with all the Config Museum pieces, the goal is to give you a straightforward set of lab requirements: no guile, no tricks, just a chance to exercise. This exercise focuses on configuring IP addresses on Frame Relay [...]

This blog post can be a stand-alone lab, but it is also a continuation of an earlier museum piece. The earlier lab asked you to configure Frame Relay, without the IP addressing. This lab adds the IP Addressing details to the picture. So, this lab’s starting point is the previous lab’s ending point. As usual [...]

This blog post simply lists the answers to the earlier Config VM from a few days ago. As with all the Config Museum pieces, the goal is to give you a straightforward set of lab requirements: no guile, no tricks, just a chance to exercise. This exercise focuses on Frame Relay, point-to-point subinterface configuration, purposefully [...]

This blog post is the first of a couple of related Config Museum pieces. As with all Config Museum pieces, this post plainly states some requirements that lead you to then create a configuration. The matching answers post will then list the configuration. Today’s post shows a figure of a Frame Relay design, using global [...]

Today’s post completes the answers to the OSPF lab by listing answers to Part 4. This part looks at the OSPF Router ID concept, and how to configure it. It’s a pretty basic conclusion to the lab, but like most of this stuff, it helps to get in some reps, so the lab spells out [...]

Today’s post looks at Part 3 of the answers to the OSPF lab recently posted in this blog, with the topic of OSPF. The lab shows how to break down the components that affect the metric for an intra-area OSPF router, as well as showing how to change the OSPF cost components both directly and [...]

Today’s post looks at Part 2 of the answers to the OSPF lab recently posted in this blog. Part 2 looks at OSPF authentication. In this case, one router (R1) needs to use all three types of OSPF authentication: none, simple password, and MD5. The other three routers each use only one type of OSPF [...]

Today’s post looks at Part 1 of the answers to the OSPF lab recently posted in this blog. Part 1 looks at the IP address config as well as how to configure OSPF to match the listed requirements. The lab makes more sense if you look at the original lab post first! Quick links below: [...]

Today’s post kicks off a new CCNA-level lab on OSPF, in conjunction with a webinar I’m doing with Cisco Press on February 15th. The short version: today’s post lists the lab problem statement. Upcoming posts will list the answers, comments about the lab, and give us a place to discuss that particular part of the [...]

This post answers an earlier config VM piece that asked you to confiugre some IPv6 static routes. (Turns out I forgot to post the answer, so… here it is!) Since it has been so long, if you’re thinking “huh?”, click that link, check out the original config VM lab, and then read the answer here. [...]
