How labs work

Open a lab and press Start
The routers, switches and PCs boot on the lab server.
Configure from the console
Pick a device to open its console and type IOS commands. ? help and Tab completion work as on real equipment.
Grade your work
Each task is checked against the running configuration, the device state and connectivity. A task that fails says what is missing.
