Lab 1: CLICK configuration

Configuring a static management address for a switch is a standard procedure for any network administrator. It is important to carefully assign IP addresses to devices to ensure proper control. This can be done using the CLI CLICK interface, which allows easy management of the switch configuration.

Lab 2: Klish (The Management Framework CLI)

As a young IT technician, one of your tasks is to ensure the continuous operation of the network. To achieve this, it is important to back up switch configurations to prevent data loss and minimize downtime in case of failure. In this task, you will perform a backup on the working switch and transfer it to SERVER1 to secure the configuration. In the event of a failure of switch SW1, the saved backup will make it easy to restore the configuration on a new switch.

Lab 3: Basic Interface Configuration

You are a network engineer tasked with configuring VLANs. You have two departments: HR and Sales. Each department is on two floors. You need to separate the two departments from each other so that only your department can communicate with each other – HR can’t communicate with Sales, and Sales can’t communicate with HR. The PCs are already configured, so all you need to do is configure the switches. HR should be in VLAN 10, and SALES should be in VLAN 20.

Lab 4: Configuring VLANs

You are a network engineer tasked with configuring VLANs for two departments: HR and Sales, each spanning two floors. Your objective is to isolate the departments so that HR and Sales cannot communicate with each other—each department should only communicate internally. The PCs are already configured, so your task is to configure the switches. Assign HR to VLAN 10 and Sales to VLAN 20.
