Performance-based labs
The exam asks you to do things, not only pick answers. Each lab is a short task: read the evidence, act on it and see why.
- Plan the subnetsSize three networks with VLSM, lay out the blocks and fix two misconfigured hosts.Free
- Read the command outputFind the fault in ipconfig output, climb the ping ladder and sort the evidence.
- Fix the switch portsSpot the port in the wrong VLAN, choose access or trunk and repair the trunk.
- Plan the wireless channelsRead an analyzer, order dBm readings and move an access point off a crowded channel.
