CCNA Practice Labs Part 1 | 11 Hands-On Networking Challenges

In Part 1 of my CCNA Practice Lab series, we’re working through the first 11 hands-on challenges from the Null0Labs CCNA Challenge Lab Workbook. Rather than just following configuration steps, each lab gives us a networking objective to complete, verify and troubleshoot much closer to how you actually learn networking. In this video we cover: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:55 - Lab 1 Device Hardening & Management Access 00:18:55 - Lab 2 Switchport Configuration & Verification 00:25:40 - Lab 3 VLAN Creation & Port Assignment 00:33:56 - Lab 4 802.1Q Trunking & Native VLANs 00:49:18 - Lab 5 EtherChannel with LACP 01:02:39 - Lab 6 PVST+ Root Bridge Manipulation 01:16:25 - Lab 7 PortFast & BPDU Guard 01:26:57 - Lab 8 Router-on-a-Stick 01:39:24 - Lab 9 Layer 3 Switching with SVIs 01:46:45 - Lab 10 Static & Default Routing 02:03:21 - Lab 11 Floating Static Routes, IP SLA & Object Tracking 02:25:09 - outro The idea isn’t to simply copy commands. Try each challenge yourself first, work out how you would solve it, and then compare your configuration and verification with mine. Part 2 will continue with Labs 12–25, including OSPF, ACLs, NAT/PAT, DHCP, security, IPv6 and troubleshooting. If you’re studying for the CCNA or just want more hands-on Cisco practice, hopefully these labs give you something useful to build and break! 👨🏻‍💻 About Me: Hi I'm Matt a Senior Network Engineer with over two decades of hands-on experience architecting, securing, and optimizing high-availability networks across enterprise environments.
