Lab Resources¶
The information below will be used throughout all Networking labs and will be a helpful "cheat sheet" of information. While each lab will strive to give you the information needed to complete it, this page will serve as a single resource where common information such as VLANs and IP addresses can be located for all networking labs.
If you find any consistencies please let the proper resources know so that we can address them! We want to give you the best lab experience possible. 😊
