T
his appendix of suggested labs will introduce you to the
Cisco Internetworking Operating System (IOS). The IOS is what runs
the Cisco routers and also some Cisco switches.
In this appendix, you'll learn how to configure Cisco routers using a
command-line interface (CLI). The CLI is really the best way to configure
a router because it gives you the most flexibility.
These labs were designed and written to work with the Router Fundamen-
