CCNA Discovery 3 is supported by one or more of the following NETLAB+ pods:

The supported lab list (below) provides a list of CCNA Discovery 3 compatible labs and the pod types that can be used for each lab.

  • Most labs may use Basic Router Pod Version 2 and Cuatro Router Pod, allowing existing NETLAB+ pods to service both CCNA and CCNP labs.
  • CRP provides vast coverage for CCNA and new CCNP.
  • The LSP can be used for CCNA Exploration and Discovery.
  • The MAP and MAP w/ASA support CCNA Exploration 2, 3 and 4 labs, CCNA Discovery 2, 3 and 4 labs, and CCNA Security labs.

Enabling the Labs

To enable the CCNA Discovery 2 labs, create a class and check the appropriate global labs in the class settings as described in the table below, depending on the pod(s) that will be used.

On the "Global Labs" section of the class settings, check both the "AE CCNA DIS 3 V4.0.3 English " and ("AE CCNA DIS 3 V4.0.3.0-MAP-English" and/or "AE CCNA DIS 3 V4.0.3 -MAP/ASA- English") if the (CRP and/or BRPv2 and/or LSP and/or BSPv2) and the (MAP and/or MAP w/ASA) will be used to perform the labs.

You may also allow the class to make "pod-only" reservations using the pod types listed above. To enable pod-only reservations, check the box in the class settings for the appropriate pod type. Options include:

These reservations are not tied to specific lab exercises. Therefore, the pod will be configured using the default network configuration. Please note however, not all CCNA labs use the default network configuration and must be completed by selecting the correct lab exercise (see the following discussion).

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.
