LAB OUTLINE
Lab 1: Lab Network Orientation
Prepare your lab environment for the rest of the labs by loading the correct configurations into the hardware and ensuring the network is
functioning correctly.
Lab 2: Configuring and Testing RBE
Configure RBE on the aggregation router using DHCP addressing. Verify that RBE is functioning properly by observing IP interface address,
route and DHCP tables, by using ping and by transferring data to a server.
Lab 3: Configuring and Testing RFC 1483 Routing
Similarly to Lab 2, configure the aggregation router for RFC 1483 routing and confirm its successful deployment.
Lab 4: Configuring and Testing PPPoA
Configure a classroom router to terminate PPPoA connections from customer premises equipment (CPE) using a local IP address pool. Use
show and debug commands to verify the proper operation of PPPoA with PTA on the Cisco aggregation router.
Lab 5: Configuring and Testing PPPoE over ATM (PPPoEoA)
Configure a Cisco router to terminate PPPoEoA connections from a subscriber CPE using a local IP address pool. Use show and debug
commands to verify the proper operation of PPPoEoA with PTA on the Cisco aggregation router.
Lab 6: Configuring and Testing PPPoE over Ethernet (PPPoEoE)
Configure a Cisco router to terminate PPPoEoE, PPPoEoVLAN, and PPPoEoQinQ connections from a subscriber CPE using a local IP address
pool. Use show and debug commands to verify the proper operation of PPPoE with PTA on the Cisco aggregation router.
Lab 7: Using Cisco Aggregation Optimization Features
Practice using various Cisco IOS configuration features that optimize broadband aggregation configurations and router performance.
Lab 8: Configuring and Testing AAA Service
Configure one of your routers to use AAA RADIUS authentication. Use Cisco IOS show and debug commands and several UNIX commands to
verify the successful implementation of AAA.
Lab 9: Configuring and Testing Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
Configure the L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC) and the L2TP Network Server (LNS) on classroom routers using local authentication. Next
configure the LAC and LNS on classrooms router using RADIUS authentication. Verify operation of PPP sessions through a L2TP tunnel.
