Connecting Networks v6 Labs & Study Guide / Edition 1

by Cisco Networking Academy, Allan Johnson

Overview

The only authorized Lab Manual for the Cisco Networking Academy Connecting Networks course in the CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum

Each chapter of this book is divided into a Study Guide section followed by a Lab section.

The Study Guide section offers exercises that help you learn the concepts, configurations, and troubleshooting skills crucial to your success as a CCNA R&S exam candidate. Each chapter is slightly different and includes some or all the following types of exercises:

• Vocabulary Matching Exercises
• Concept Questions Exercises
• Skill-Building Activities and Scenarios
• Configuration Scenarios
• Packet Tracer Exercises
• Troubleshooting Scenarios

The Labs & Activities include all the online course Labs and Packet Tracer activity instructions. If applicable, this section begins with a Command Reference that you will complete to highlight all the commands introduced in the chapter.
