Cisco Certified Network Associate
This lab bundle supports practical knowledge and skills needed for CCNA candidates to successfully pass the exam. The lab bundle contains exercises associated with the Interconnecting Cisco Network Device Part 1 (ICND1) v1.0 course and Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2 (ICND2) v1.0 courses.
The exercises from ICND1 cover PC's Ethernet adapter configuration, as well as both the LAN switch (Catalyst) and router configuration for basic functionalities. The ICND2 exercises review networking concepts and help learners to practice configuration and monitoring skills for switched networks, routing protocols (OSPF and EIGRP), access lists and NAT, as well as for IPv6 and the Frame Relay.

Importance
The CCNA remote lab exercises subscription is highly recommended to all students relatively new to the internetworking. The exercises contain common network configurations to give you experience in configuring and verifying the technologies covered in the ICND1 and ICND2 courses.
Target Audience
The lab exercises are targeted at CCNA candidates as well as at pre- and post-sales technical support engineers who have to design, implement and troubleshoot their networks for basic operation.
Prerequisite Knowledge
To successfully complete this set of exercise, you need basic networking knowledge and skills in configuring and troubleshooting on Cisco IOS. This knowledge is best gained by attending the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) and Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (ICND2) courses.
