Config Labs
Q&A, Exercises
Config Labs: Config Labs provide you with a practice lab experience that mimics the flow of the CCNA exam’s lab questions.
- To begin, you must interpret the figures, initial configuration, and scenario description.
- You must then determine the correct configuration to meet the stated goals.
- You should then create the specific configuration to meet the goals.
The labs work well for those who have already read about the topic in the books and now need to practice. To that end, the labs can be found based on the same Book, Part, and Chapter organization in the books.
The Q&A menu bar item lists a large variety of practice exercises, including:
- IPv4 addressing drills
- IPv4 subnetting drills
- IPv6 addressing drills
- IPv4 ACL Drills
For practice questions, look to the CCNA Official Cert Guide, with a huge practice question database. I also post practice questions at my Youtube channel.
