Hands-on Labs To complete the labs in this section, you need at least one router or switch (three would be best) and at least one
PC running as a TFTP server. TFTP server software must be installed and running on the PC. For this lab, it is also
assumed that your PC and the Cisco devices are connected together with a switch and that all interfaces (PC NIC
and router interfaces) are in the same subnet. You can alternately connect the PC directly to the router or connect
the routers directly to one another (use a crossover cable in that case). Remember that the labs listed here were
created for use with real routers but can easily be used with the LammleSim IOS Version (see
www.lammle.com/
ccna
) or you can use the Cisco Packet Tracer router simulator. Last, although it doesn’t matter if you are using a
switch or router in these labs, I’m just going to use my routers, but feel free to use your switch to go through these
abs!
