Lab 1: Installing a Switch OS with ONIE

Your task is to install SONiC on a switch in the data center. First, configure and verify the IP addresses of SERVER1 and SW1. Then, install SONiC on switch SW1. Finally, verify the installed SONiC on switch SW1.

Lab 2: Configuring Switch Management

You need to configure a switch with pre-installed SONiC by renaming the hostname & configuring the IP address. First, change the hostname of the SW1 switch. Then, configure a static IP address and physical port parameters. Last, revert to DHCP configuration on the port.

Lab 3: User Accounts and Authentication Methods

You need to connect a new switch to an existing network and set it up to use RADIUS authentication. First, log in with default privileges to the switch and check the AAA configuration. Then, add the RADIUS configuration on the SW1 switch. Last, set it as the default login option.

Lab 4: Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP)

You need to configure SONiC on multiple devices using ZTP. First, update the DHCP server configuration on SERVER1 to use the ZTP service. Then, enable the ZTP service on the SW1 switch. Last, check the results of the ZTP service on the SW1 switch.
