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.

Searching CISCO for CCNA Test information

Objective:
To learn how to find out the latest CCNA test information from the CISCO website.

Tools and Materials:
(1) PC with Internet access

Step-By-Step Instructions:
1. Open a browser window.
2. Navigate to www.cisco.com. You should see:

Figure 1—The main CISCO webpage.

3. Next, scroll down. On the left hand side you should see a link under the
“Training, Events, & Seminars” heading called “Training/Certifications.” You
should see:

Figure 2—Scroll down to the Training heading and look for “certifications.”

4. Click on the link for “certifications.” The page you should see next is:

Figure 3—Training and Certifications main page.
5. Then scroll down again to the “current exams and outlines” link. It will take you
to the page for current exams and outlines (isn’t that nice?). You should see:

Figure 4—Current exams and outlines page.

6. Once again, scroll down until you find the CCNA 640-607 exam. You should see
(figure 5 on next page).
