HCIA-Datacom lab 22 of 22

Capstone - build a small campus network

Design and build Northwind's new office from factory defaults, following the campus method of requirements, design, implementation, verification and operations. Access and core switching, VLANIF gateways, OSPF, internet access with NAT, secure management and monitoring all come together, with design checkpoints for WLAN and the data centre.

Run this lab

It needs Standard: its 6 nodes are set to 8 vCPU and 10,240 MB in total.

In your workspace: Shared, then HCIA-Datacom H12-811 guided labs, then 22 - Capstone - build a small campus network

Run it on Standard from £5 a day

The free demo can’t run it: it has 6 vCPU and 8 GB, and this lab’s nodes need 8 vCPU and 10,240 MB together. Every lab plan includes every guided lab.

The scenario

Northwind is opening a new office, and you are the network engineer. Everything except the ISP router arrives in its factory state. Work through Huawei's campus method:

  1. Requirements: given below.
  2. Design: you complete it in Task 1.
  3. Implementation: Tasks 2–6.
  4. Verification: Task 7.
  5. Operations: Task 8.

What you’ll practise

  • Turn requirements into VLAN, IP and device-role plans
  • Build access and core layers: VLANs, an LACP uplink, RSTP with edge ports and BPDU protection, VLANIF gateways
  • Route the campus to the egress router with OSPF and a default route, and reach the internet through Easy IP
  • Secure and monitor the network: SSH-only management, a VTY ACL, SNMP and LLDP
  • Verify end to end and explain how WLAN and data-centre designs would extend the campus

The tasks

  1. The ISP's side
  2. Design
  3. Access layer (SW2)
  4. Core layer (SW1)
  5. Routing (SW1 and R1)
  6. Internet access (R1)
  7. Secure management and monitoring
  8. Verification

The Lab Tasks pane has the scenario, these tasks, the checks to run, hints and the full solution.

How to open this lab

  1. Sign in to your workspace at lab.cloudlabbox.com.

  2. In File Manager, open Shared, then the folder HCIA-Datacom H12-811 guided labs.

  3. Open 22 - Capstone - build a small campus network and start its nodes, then open Lab Tasks for the scenario and the steps.

The lab is read-only. You can start the nodes and configure the devices, but changes to the topology can’t be saved. To change it, rebuild it in your own folder.
