Free Cisco Lab

Many of my readers have posted that Cisco’s Packet Tracer does not support BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). This is not the case, in the latest version of Packet Tracer 5.3.2 there is limited support for BGP. The most limiting lack in support is Internal BGP (iBGP) and is currently not supported in the latest version of Packet Tracer. This does not allow the user to create neighbors between routers within the same autonomous systems. Although even with this limitation there is sufficient support to allow the CCNA, CCNP student to gain an understanding of this complex routing protocol and to learn how to use the following supported command within Packet tracer.

In this Free Cisco Lab scenario you will use Packet Tracer to configure 10 routers to use IPV6, enabling IPV6 on each router, and assign each router an IPV6 address. You will then configure RIP, EIGRP, and OSPF as shown in the provided network diagram.  You will then redistribute the RIP, OSPF and EIGRP routing protocols over the network. Finally you will use Ping, Debug, and Show commands to verify the operation and connectivity of the network.

In this free cisco GNS3 lab you will learn to configure BGP confederation as a method to use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to subdivide a single autonomous system (AS) into multiple internal sub-AS’s, yet still advertise as a single AS to external peers therefore reducing the IBGP mesh size.

Has your head exploded yet are you ready for another head buster lab scenario, well this lab should provide you with some new challenge it has just about everything Frame-Relay, ISDN, ATM, EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP of course. If you can complete this lab within the 8.5 hours allowed for, you just might be ready for the real thing.
