configure the basics of the IOS, including setting passwords, banners,
and more. IP configuration will be discussed and a hands-on lab will
help you gain a firm grasp of the concepts taught in the chapter.

you will begin to build your network, add IP addresses, and route data
between routers. You will also learn about static, default, and
dynamic routing in this chapter. Written and hands-on labs will help
you understand IP routing to the fullest.
� Chapter 6 covers Virtual LANs and how you can use them in your
internetwork. This chapter also covers the nitty-gritty of VLANs and
the different concepts and protocols used with VLANs. Written labs
and review questions will reinforce the VLAN material.
