I would like to thank my wonderful textbook representative for the inspiration to collect
my notes, handouts, and scribbles and turn them into this lab manual…Kristin
Cunningham…without her this lab manual would still only be an “idea.”
I would like to thank many people: my family, grandparents (rest in peace), Worrell
family, Wolfe family, Jeanette LaBelle and family, Autumn, Krysta, Rachel (no
particular order), Beth & the Bindle family (if you hadn’t turned me down I wouldn’t
probably be writing this), Ronda Tranter (legal inspiration), Frank Ferrano (you’re
right…we aren’t all dumb kids), Dr. Mary Ann Ferguson (for never giving up on me),
Arturo David Vasquez, Converse family, the poker gang and their wives, Uncle Bill,
Aunt Mary, cousin David, Jaime, Dave, Kent, Rich, Kyle, Ms. Minton, Julie and Lisa (for
the ambition or revenge to do even better), all my Operation Paycheck students, and to all
my students everywhere!

Preface
This manual was developed to prepare students for hands-on training to accompany
classroom lectures on CISCO networking theory for the CISCO CCNA 3.0 (#640-607)
examination. These labs are intended to supplement and enhance the Cisco Networking
Academy Program with additional information, explanations, and laboratory materials,
not to replace them. If you are looking for a lot of theory, then you have got the wrong
book.
All labs and exercises contain four basic parts:
1. An objective section giving a brief topic for exploration in the lab or exercise
2. A tools and materials list
3. Steps needed to complete the lab or exercise
4. Supplemental lab or exercise challenge activities
Some sections include background information if needed. Answers, where required, is
included on the companion CD-ROM.
Some of the labs contain “guest router names” that are borrowed from computer security
history. I do this to spice up the labs a bit and give you a cross-reference and some
history of computer security.
