The advice in this book is designed to help you achieve the standard of Cisco
Certified Network Professional, which is Cisco’s advanced internetworking
examination. A CCNP is able to carry out advanced router and switch
installations and troubleshooting for small to enterprise-level networks.
Before you carry out more complex operations, it is advisable to seek the
advice of experts or Cisco Systems, Inc.

Introduction – 101 Labs
Welcome to your 101 Labs book.
When I started teaching IT courses back in 2002, I was shocked to discover
that most training manuals were almost exclusively dedicated to theoretical
knowledge. Apart from a few examples of commands to use or configuration
guidelines, you were left to plow through without ever knowing how to apply
what you learned to live equipment or to the real world.
Fast forward 17 years and little has changed. I still wonder how, when around
50% of your exam marks are based on hands-on skills and knowledge, most
books give little or no regard to equipping you with the skills you need to
both pass the exam and then make money in your chosen career as a network,
security, or cloud engineer (or whichever career path you choose).
101 Labs is NOT a theory book: it’s here to transform what you have learned
in your study guides into valuable skills you will be using from day one on
your job as a network engineer. Farai and I don’t teach DHCP, for example;
instead, we show you how to configure a DHCP server, which addresses you
shouldn’t use, and which parameters you can allocate to hosts. If the protocol
isn’t working, we show you what the probable cause is. Sound useful? We
certainly hope so.
We choose the most relevant parts of the exam syllabus and use free software
or free trials (whenever possible) to walk you through configuration and
troubleshooting commands step by step. As your confidence grows, we
increase the difficulty level. If you want to be an exceptional IT engineer, you
can make your own labs up, add other technologies, try to break them, fix
them, and do it all over again.
We recommend you get some hands-on time with live Cisco equipment
because it differs from network simulation tools. See below for more
information.

101 Labs – Cisco CCNP
This book is designed to cement the theory you have read in your CCNP
study guide or video training course. If you haven’t studied any theory yet,
then please check out our website https://www.howtonetwork.com, which
also features practice exams. Our CCNP Simplified range of study guides for
the ROUTE, SWITCH, and TSHOOT exams is still available on Amazon but
has not been updated for the latest versions because so few students have
decided to take the exams after passing the CCNA. The guides still contain
around 85% of the current exam topics and so are well worth checking out.
The goal of this book is to dramatically improve your hands-on skills and
speed, enabling you to succeed in the practical portions of the CCNP exams
and also to transfer your skills to the real world as a CCNP-level network
engineer. We don’t have space here to cover theory at all, so please refer to
your CCNP study guide to get a good understanding of the learning points
behind each lab. Every lab is designed to cover a particular theoretical issue,
such as the configuration requirements of RIP passive interfaces.
If you want to become CCNP Routing and Switching (CCNP RS) certified,
you must pass three exams:
300-101 ROUTE – Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE)
300-115 SWITCH – Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (SWITCH)
300-135 TSHOOT – Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP Networks
(TSHOOT)
It’s been a very painstaking process to decide which subjects to include in
this guide. You must have a very deep understanding of core topics (such as
OSPF), so they’re a no-brainer, but others mentioned only in passing in the
exam syllabus are still included. In the exam, you are told you need to
‘describe’ a certain technology (such as RIPng), but it’s hard to describe any
technology you have never configured, so configuration exercises are
included. We’ve removed topics which were removed from the latest exam
syllabus, such as QoS. Others we have added or left because they are either
specifically mentioned in the syllabus or alluded to. We’ve added bonus labs
