CCNP Routing and Switching: SWITCH v7

NDG has worked closely with the Cisco CCNP v7 lab team to develop these labs and to ensure
compatibility with NETLAB+.

CCNP v7 SWITCH is supported by one or more of the following NETLAB+ pods. The supported lab list
(below) provides a list of CCNP v7 SWITCH compatible labs and the pod types that can be used for each
lab.

Cuatro Switch Pod (CSP) supports all but two of the labs

Multi-purpose Academy Pod (MAP) TWO LABS ONLY

Enabling the Labs

To enable the CCNP v7 SWITCH labs, create a class and select global lab AE CCNPv7 SWITCH in the class
settings.

The Skills exams are contained in a separate lab package and are enabled in the class settings separately
from the core CCNPv7 SWITCH labs. This allows instructors to defer access to the exams until the end of
the course. To enable the SBAs, select global lab AE CCNPv7 SWITCH SBA.

The Cuatro Switch Pod (CSP) is used to support all but two of the labs, as shown in the Supported Lab
List below.

Using the Labs

Always select the correct lab exercise for the lab being performed. Students or teams should schedule
the correct lab exercise from the catalog. NETLAB+ will only show those labs for which the required pod
type is available. A lab that works on different pod types may appear more than once if your system is so
equipped. Instructors should select the correct lab from the Exercise tab during instructor-led lab
reservations. This can be done as many times as needed during the reservation.

Importance of Choosing the Correct Lab Exercise

Several of the labs may differ from the standard pod topologies. This is handled by NETLAB+ Dynamic
VLAN Mapping technology. Always select the correct lab exercise for the actual lab. This insures that
NETLAB+ will set up VLANs on the control switch such that lab devices and PCs are placed in the correct
LAN segment for the exercise being performed. Selecting the correct exercise will also make the
completed lab output easier to find in the archive.
Requirements

Router, Switch and IOS Requirements

The following recommendations are based on the CCNP v7 Equipment List (available on Academy
Connection). Other switch models may be used. Please consult Academy Connection NetAcad
Maintenance - Image & Hardware Support Assistance with Legacy Equipment and Software.

Cuatro Switch Pod

Recommended Minimum
Feature Set
Switch Model(s) IOS
DLS1 Cisco 35601 15.0(2)SE6 IP Services (K9-M image)
DLS2 Cisco 35601 15.0(2)SE6 IP Services (K9-M image)
ALS1 Cisco 2960 15.0(2)SE6 LAN base for 2960 (K9-M image)
ALS2 Cisco 2960 15.0(2)SE6 LAN base for 2960 (K9-M image)
1Cisco WS-C3560V2-24PS switches ("V2" models) do not respond to a console break signal, regardless of
"enable break" setting, and therefore do not work with NETLAB+ automation (reference Cisco bug
CSCsv92241). Although the bug was reported fixed, the problem still persists on the V2 models as of this
writing. Workarounds: use WS-C3560-24PS (non-"V2" version) switches if available, or turn off
automation by using the Generic Console Device setting.
