The purpose of this CCNP GNS3 lab is to gain a better understand of how to configure EIGRP over frame-relay in a hub and spoke configuration on Cisco IOS routers. In this lab we will use GNS3 to model a simple lab to demonstrate how to configure and verify EIGRP using the split horizon rule and the next-hop command.

The purpose of this CCNP GNS3 lab is to gain a better understand of how to configure EIGRP Stub Routing on Cisco IOS routers. In this lab we will use GNS3 to model a simple lab to demonstrate how to configure and verify EIGRP Stub implementation. Additionally we will learn to configure Key-Chain authentication.

The purpose of this CCNP GNS3 lab is to gain a better understand of how to configure EIGRP on Cisco IOS routers. In this lab we will use GNS3 to model a simple lab to demonstrate how to configure and verify a basic EIGRP implementation. Additionally we will learn to configure basic ODR, redistribution and path control. Continue reading “CCNP EIGRP GNS3 Lab-1” »
Virtual routing and switching simulator are grate tools to help you prepare for your CCNP exam. However we do know that there are some limitations to it, primarily the lack of switching support and quite a few useful commands. Since Cisco’s CCNP exam series is actually pretty heavy on some of these commands especially in the TSHOOT module; you may actually decide it is in your best interest to build your own home CCNP lab. The good news about that is the cost to build a CCNP lab has come down tremendously from the days I built my own CCNP lab. Back in I think it was 2000 or 2001 when I built my first CCNP lab it was about $22,000 I seem to recall. Shoot just one of the MSFC modules was $4,000 at that time! So you are in luck today as you can build an entire CCNP lab for as little as $700ish. You can see some examples of preconfigured CertificationKits CCNP Lab Kits here.
