  Goals Part 1 : Record network latency using Ping           Part 2 : Analyze Network Latency Using Traceroute Context / Situation This activity must be carried out on a live network in order to acquire accurate network latency information. Any local security prohibitions on using the ping command on the network should be confirmed with your Answers. Answers Information : Some organisations turn off network-wide ICMP echo responses. Make sure there are no ICMP datagram-related local limitations before the students start this exercise. This activity requires that no local security policy restricts the use of ICMP datagrams. This lab's goal is to assess network latency over time and at various times of the day in order to get a representative sample of normal network traffic. This will be achieved by using the ping command to examine the response latency from a remote computer. The average latency (mean) and the range (maximum and lowest) of the return delay ...

Objectives: Configure fundamental device settings Configure Fundamental Security Measures on the Router Configure Fundamental Security Measures on the Switch Context / Scenario All network devices should be configured using at least a minimal set of best practise security instructions. This comprises client devices, servers, and network devices like routers and switches. Configure the network devices in the topology to allow SSH connections for remote management in this lab. You will also utilise the IOS CLI to establish the standard, fundamental security best practises. Then, you will test the security measures to ensure that they have been properly deployed and are operating as intended. Note: Cisco 4221 routers running Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 are used in CCNA hands-on labs (universalk9 image). The lab switches are Cisco Catalyst 2960s running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2). (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and versions of Cisco IOS may be used. Depending on the model and C...
