  1. 01Getting Into the CLIA Cisco device has no desktop and no icons — it has a prompt. These four labs are the first hour at that prompt: telling the modes apart, moving between them, saving your work so a power cut cannot take it, and the five show commands a technician runs on a device they have never met.4 labs · 400 ptslocked
  1. 02Interfaces and AddressingPorts, names and addresses. Why a router interface arrives switched off and a switch port does not, what a mask actually decides, and how a switch gets a management address even though it needs none to do its job.5 labs · 500 ptslocked
  1. 03Proving ConnectivityPing answers whether; traceroute answers where. Work outward from the host, read a routing table, and map a network you were never given a diagram for.3 labs · 300 ptslocked
  1. 04Switching and VLANsHow a switch decides where to send a frame, how a VLAN splits one switch into separate networks, why two switches need a trunk between them, and where the line between local and remote traffic is drawn.4 labs · 400 ptslocked
  1. 05Access and SafetyLocking the three doors into a device, replacing Telnet with SSH, keeping a configuration you can compare and restore — and a capstone that hands you three faults and no hints.4 labs · 400 ptslocked
  1. 06Diagnosing FaultsTwo faults that pass every quick check. In both, the devices look healthy, the addresses are not typos and nothing is unplugged, yet traffic stops. These labs train the habit the capstone rewards: check what is actually true before you change anything.2 labs · 200 ptslocked
