FSNE: Routing and WANs (CCNA)
Description
Here we will cover everything related to routing needed for the CCNA. We’ll start with an awesome video of Jacob breaking down a Cisco 2811 and we will perform many labs on router configuration and static and dynamic routing.
Introduction
- Welcome (1 min)
- Welcome to the Routing Fundamentals module!
IP Routing - 45 minutes
- Inside a Cisco 2800 Router (15 min)
- In this video we break down and rebuild a Cisco Integrated Services Router: the Cisco 2811 ISR.
- How Routers Route (11 min)
- Let’s dive into routing and start really learning how routers route.
- Labs: Inter-VLAN Routing (11 min)
- Making sure that we all know the most essential piece of setting up a routed network – configuring an IP address on a router 🙂
- First Hop Redundancy Protocols (8 min)
- Ensure end users can still access the network when a gateway router fails.
WANs - 41 minutes
- WAN Connectivity (22 min)
- This is where we learn about the different types of Wide Area Network connections available to us.
- Lab: Configuring Serial Interfaces (19 min)
- Let’s do a lab on setting up serial connections!
Static Routing - 105 minutes
- Introduction to Static Routing (7 min)
- We can statically set a route on a router to manually tell it how to route packets. Let’s find out how it’s done!
- Lab: Implementing Static Routing (13 min)
- And now, let’s actually do it!
- Host, Floating and Fully Defined Static Routes (31 min)
- There is more than one way to configure a static route. Back up your dynamic routing protocol with static routes.
- Lab: Configure Floating and Host Static Routes (27 min)
- Let’s practice configuring floating and host static routes.
- Route Summarization (27 min)
- We can really make our routers run like well oiled machines by maintaining our network design and hierarchy. We can also summarize routes to make our routing tables smaller – let’s check it out!
Dynamic Routing - 73 minutes
- Introduction to Dynamic Routing (13 min)
- Dynamic Routing is equally as important as Static Routing, although it can be a little more involved. Let’s start breaking it down!
- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) (6 min)
- Let’s take a look at the most popular link-state routing protocol in use today – OSPF.
- Labs: Configure Single Area OSPF (34 min)
- Let’s configure routers to share routes using single-area OSPF.
- Administrative Distance (5 min)
- Administrative distance is one of those things that a lot of people hear about. Now, you will know exactly what it is!
- Routing Loops (15 min)
- Routing loops, we can’t live with ’em and we can’t live without ’em. Let’s learn exactly what routing loops are once and for all.
