Just Passed! Corrected Labs and Advice
#1
Hi everyone! I just passed with the help of this site after a while, and here's my summary - 

I used this site to study 300 questions a day until I got 90% or better on my exam.
I also used a usb capture card and a second laptop mounted under the table with a 3d print to record my screen for post-game review.

I've taken the exam twice (780 score on the first try!), and here were the labs they gave me:
  • First exam:
  • EIGRP Route Manipulation #3
  • AAA & IP Troubleshooting Lab
  • IPSec Config SIM
  • EIGRP #2
    Second exam:
  • VRF
  • DMVPN
  • EIGRP #2
I used chatGPT to "lab" a ton, and it gave me incredible feedback and IT. IS. WHAT. MADE. ME. PASS. I've included my prompt as well as my corrected labs, as the labs on this site are either incomplete or sometimes wrong.

My labs are below. I put these in Claude.ai and ChatGPT and told it to quiz me. I'll reply in a comment with my ChatGPT prompt for reference.


Part 1 is here, part 2 is in a comment. Copy both parts for your notes.

CORRECTED ENARSI LABS PART 1:

### CoPP (Verified/Labbed Solution)

### Tasks

A network is configured with CoPP to protect the CORE router route processor for stability and DDoS protection. As a company policy, a class named class-default is preconfigured and must not be modified or deleted. Troubleshoot CoPP to resolve the issues introduced during the maintenance window to ensure that:

1. Dynamic routing policies are under CoPP-CRITICAL and are allowed only from the 10.10.X.X range.
2. Telnet, SSH, and ping are under CoPP-IMPORTANT and are allowed strictly to/from 10.10.x.x to the CORE router (Hint: you can verify using Loopback1).
3. All devices ping (UDP) any CORE router interface successfully to/from the 10.10.X.X range and do not allow any other IP address.
4. All devices run a successful traceroute (UDP) to any interface on the CORE router to/from the 10.10.X.X range, are under CoPP-NORMAL, and do not allow any other IP address (make sure default traceroute TTL is accounted for). The traceroute is to be under CoPP-NORMAL (Hint: Traceroute port range 33434-33464).

### VRFs (Verified/Labbed Solution)

### Tasks

![sim-vrf-topology.png](https://prod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.a...pology.png)

Configure individual VRFs for each customer according to the topology to achieve these goals:

1. VRF "cu-red" has interfaces on routers R1 and R2. Both routers are preconfigured with IP addressing, VRFs and BGP. Do not use the BGP network statement for advertisement.
2. VRF "cu-green" has interfaces on routers R1 and R2.
3. BGP on router R1 populates VRF routes between router R1 and R2.
4. BGP on router R2 populates VRF routes between router R1 and R2.
5. LAN to LAN is reachable between SW1 and SW3 for VRF "cu-red" and between SW2 and SW4 for VRF "cu-green". All switches are preconfigured.

### OSPF (Mostly Verified Solution)

### Tasks

A network is configured with IP connectivity, and the routing protocol between devices started having problems right after the maintenance window to implement network changes. Troubleshoot and resolve to a fully functional network to ensure that:

1. Inter-area links have link authentication (not area authentication) using MD5 with the key 1 string CCNP.
2. R3 is a DR regardless of R2 status while R1 and R2 establish a DR/BDR relationship.
3. OSPF uses the default cost on all interfaces. Network reachability must follow OSPF default behavior for traffic within an area over intra-area VS inter-area links.
4. The OSPF external route generated on R4 adds link cost when traversing through the network to reach R2. A network command to advertise routes is not allowed.

### Solution

### DMVPN (Mostly Verified Solution)


### Tasks

A DMVPN network is preconfigured with tunnel 0 IP address 192.168.1.254 on the HUB, IP connectivity, crypto policies, profiles, and EIGRP AS 100. The NHRP password is cсnp123, and the network ID and tunnel key is EIGRP ASN. Do not introduce a static route. Configure DMVPN connectivity between routers BR1 and BR2 to the HUB router using physical interface as the tunnel source to achieve these goals:

1. Configure NHRP authentication, static IP-to-NBMA address maps, hold time 5 minutes, network ID, and server on branch router BR1.
2. Configure NHRP authentication, static IP-to-NBMA address maps, hold time 5 minutes, network ID, and server on branch router BR2.
3. Ensure that packet fragmentation is done before encryption to account for GRE and IPsec header and allow a maximum TCP segment size of 1360 on an IP MTU of 1400 on the tunnel interfaces of both branch routers.
4. Apply an IPsec profile to the tunnel. Verify that direct spoke-to-spoke tunnel is functional between branch routers BR1 and BR2 by using traceroute to Ethernet 0/0 IP address to get a full score.

### IPSEC #1 (Kinda Verified Solution)

### Tasks

Configure IPSec security policy on tunnel interfaces to ensure data confidentiality and integrity where mGRE tunnels are up and running between HUB and SPOKE routers.

1. Configure the ISAKMP policy parameters with the following attributes:
AES128
MD5
Group2
lifetime 86400
2. Ensure that GRE IP Header should not be encrypted inside the IPSec packet.
3. Configure a flexible ISAKMP Policy to add peers that have the dynamic IP addresses. Use a single command to configure it. Use IPSec phase-2 transform-set name as 'T-SET' and IPSec Profile name as 'T-SET-PROFILE'. Use ISAKMP key "abc123". Verify configuration with Ping from PC1 to PC2 and PC3.
