Objective: In this lab you will configure a simple network to allow two routers to route packets between to remote networks. The text that is in bold is the text you need to type during the lab. Requirements:
- Two Cisco routers with one Ethernet port and one serial port.
- Cisco IOS 10.0 or higher
- One PC for consoling into routers with terminal emulation software
- One serial cable
- One Cisco rollover cable
Setup: Step 1: Physical Connections Connect the following interfaces:
- Console: Connect your PC/terminal to the console port using a rollover cable and HyperTerminal (9600-8-N-1-no flow)
- Ethernet: Connect Ethernet ports to a hub or a switch using a straight-through cable. Use a cross-over cable if going directly from the PC’s NIC to the Ethernet (AUI) port on the router using a transceiver.
- Serial: If going directly between two routers, don’t forget to connect one port via the DTE cable and the other via the DCE cable.
Step 2: Boot up the routers Just say “no” to use the setup mode (setup dialogue). The setup mode will only allow you to configure the router with the basic features and not with any advanced features. If asked if you would like to terminate the auto configuration; say “yes”. Let the routers finish booting.

You can’t earn your CCNP certification without passing the Cisco ONT exam, and queuing is a huge topic on that exam! Priority queuing, LLQ, weighted fair queuing – you’ll see them all and more on your ONT exam. Today, we’ll take a close look at priority queuing theory.
Priority queuing is unique in that it has four pre-configured queues, and while we have some control over those queues, we can’t add more of them. Here are the four queues and their default capacity. Each capacity shown here can be changed.
High Priority queue, 20-packet capacity.
Medium Priority queue, 40-packet capacity.

Sure, you have to know all about SVIs and multilayer switching to earn your CCNP, but you also need to know about them because they’re so commonplace in today’s networks!
Why? We can use an SVI to allow inter-VLAN communication on a multilayer switch, eliminating the need for a separate router to get involved.
In this example, we have Host_1 in VLAN 11 and Host_3 in VLAN 33. Before we begin configuring, we’ll send pings between the two hosts. (We’ll use Cisco routers for the hosts in this lab, which is why the ping output may look familiar!)
