Practice real-world scenarios with our interactive lab simulations
About These Interactive CCNA Labs
These 26 interactive Cisco IOS lab simulations let you practice real-world configuration scenarios directly in your browser with no software to install. Each lab uses a simulated Cisco IOS command-line interface where you type real IOS commands and receive authentic output.
Labs progress from beginner to advanced: Basic switch and router configuration, VLAN and trunk setup, inter-VLAN routing (router-on-a-stick), OSPF and EIGRP configuration, DHCP server, SSH, NAT/PAT, ACLs, port security, and site-to-site VPN.
Every lab includes a clear objective, step-by-step tasks, a pre-built topology, and verification hints. Completing all 26 labs provides hands-on experience with the most common configurations on the CCNA 200-301 exam.
