these conventions as follows:  ¦ Bold indicates commands and keywords that are entered literally as shown. In actua l configuration examples and output (not general command syntax), bold indicates commands that are manually input by the user (such as a show command).  ¦ Italic indicates arguments for which you supply actual values.  ¦ Vertical bars (|) separate alternative, mutually exclusive elements.  ¦ Square brackets ([ ] ) indicate optional elements.  ¦ Braces ({ }) indicate a required choice.  ¦ Braces within brackets ([{ }] ) indicate a required choice within an optional element. xxix IntroductionRouters and Routing Basics CCNA 2 Labs and Study Guide is a supplement to your classroom and laboratory experience with the Cisco Networking Academy Program. Specifically, this book covers the second of four courses. To be successful in this course and achieve your CCNA certification, you should do everything possible to arm yourself with a variety of tools and training materials to support your learning efforts. This book is just such a collection of tools. Used to its fullest extent, i t can help you gain the knowledge as well as practice the skills associated with the content area of the CCNA 2 Routers and Routing Basics course.Specifically, this book can help you work on these main areas of CCNA 2:  ¦ Configuring a router  ¦ Managing the Cisco IOS  ¦ Selecting a routing protocol  ¦ Verifying and troubleshooting a network  ¦ Implementing basic security with access control lists Books similar to this one are also available for the other three courses: Networking Basics CCNA 1 Labs and Study Guide, Switching Basics and Intermediate Routing CCNA 3 Labs and Study Guide, and WAN Technologies CCNA 4 Labs and Study Guide. Goals and Methods One of the most important goals of this book is to help you prepare for either the CCNA exam (640-801) or the INTRO exam (640-821).Whether you are studying for the full exam or the first part of your CCNA, passing either of these exams means that you not only have the required knowledge of the technologies covered by the exa m, but that you can also plan, design, implement, operate, and troubleshoot these technologies. In other words, these exams are rigorously application-based. In fact, if you view the main objectives for the CCNA exam at http://www. cisco. com/go/certifications, you can see the following four categories of objectives:  ¦ Planning & Design  ¦ Implementation & Operation  ¦ Troubleshooting  ¦ TechnologyAlthough Technology is listed last, a CCNA student cannot possibly plan, design, implement, operate, and troubleshoot networks without first fully grasping the technology. So you must devote large amounts of time and effort in the Study Guide section of each chapter, learning the concepts and theories before applying them in the Lab Exercises. The Study Guide section offers exercises that help you learn the concepts and configurations that are crucial to your success as a CCNA exam candidate. Each chapter is slightly different and includes some or all of the following types of exe rcises:  ¦Vocabulary Matching and Completion  ¦ Skill-Building Activities and Scenarios  ¦ Configuration Scenarios  ¦ Concept Questions  ¦ Journal Entries  ¦ Internet Research xxx Routers and Routing Basics CCNA 2 Labs and Study Guide The Lab Exercises section includes a Command Reference table, all the online Curriculum Labs, and new Comprehensive Labs and Challenge Labs. The Curriculum Labs typically walk you through the configuration tasks step by step. The Comprehensive Labs include many, if not all, of the configuration tasks of the Curriculum Labs without actually providing you with the commands.The Challenge Labs take this a step further, often giving you only a general requirement that you must implement fully without the details of each small step. In other words, you must use the knowledge and skills you gained in the Curriculum Labs to successfully complete the Comprehensive and Challenge Labs. In fact, you should not attempt the Comprehensive or Challenge lab s until you have worked through all the Study Guide activities and the Curriculum Labs. Avoid the temptation to work through the Comprehensive and Challenge Labs by flipping back through the Curriculum Labs when you are unsure of a command.Do not try to short-change your CCNA training. You need a deep understanding of CCNA knowledge and skills to ultimately be successful on the CCNA exam. How This Book Is Organized Because the content of Routers and Routing Basics CCNA 2 Companion Guide and the online course is sequential, you should work through this book in order, beginning with Chapter 1. Chapters 1 through 11 cover the following topics: Chapter 1, â€Å"WANs and Routers†Ã¢â‚¬â€After presenting a few vocabulary exercises covering the topic of WANs, this chapter delves into the internal and external components of routers.Understanding how a router works and how you connect to a router are important concepts and skills you need throughout the rest of your CCNA studies. The three Curriculum Labs focus your attention on connecting LANs and WANs using routers. An additional Challenge Lab helps you review the skills learned in the Curriculum Labs. Chapter 2, â€Å"Introduction to Routers†Ã¢â‚¬â€This chapter discusses the basics of using the command-line interface (CLI). Several exercises help you solidify your skills with using the CLI.In addition, you work through exercises that focus on understanding the router boot sequence and interpreting output from the show version command. The three Curriculum Labs focus your attention on the configuration tasks covered in the chapter.
