CCNA Semester 2 Skills Based Final – Part 1 Router Configuration
Student Training
Exam Part 1 Overview:
This is the first part of the Semester 2 practical final exam. It will focus on your ability to configure
the lab routers to communicate properly. You will work in teams of five to configure all five Cisco
routers and attached workstations so that they share an IP addressing / subnet scheme and a common
dynamic routing protocol (e.g.: RIP, IGRP etc.). This will enable them to route packets from a
network on router LAB-A to a network on router LAB-E. The NVRAM (startup config file) in all five
routers will be erased prior to starting the exam. Your team will select a single class B or C network
address. The team must establish and document a subnetted IP addressing scheme that will
accommodate the number of networks, routers, and interfaces represented by the current configuration
in the classroom. The configuration for each router will need to be documented as a text file by
capturing and printing the configuration commands. The physical arrangement and cabling of the
routers and interfaces will be the same as it is for the standard 5-router lab. When configuring the
routers, teams may use the SETUP dialog utility, manual configuration or may use HyperTerminal or a
TFTP server to load the configuration file for each router. Maximum time allowed to complete Exam
Part 1 is 40 minutes depending on the configuration method that is chosen. Points will be deducted if
your team goes over 40 minutes. The required documentation from your team should be prepared and
presented prior to the final exam.
Team and Individual Grading
Each team will provide a copy of the documentation items listed in the worksheet prior to starting the
Exam. Each individual in the team will configure at least one router and workstation and will perform
all of the performance items listed in the worksheet. For each successful worksheet item, the team or
individual will get the points indicated.
