In this lab you will be able to log in to the Meraki dashboard, explore the Inventory of an Organization, review Wireless Networks, and all the Wireless Network settings including DHCP and VLANs. The lab will walk you through how to create a VLAN for each WLAN, a DHCP Scope, and configure other settings within the WLANs such as Wireless Security Policies, Layer 3 and Layer 7 Firewall and Traffic Shaping rules and create a Network Tag for your APs . You will also be shown a Guest access WLAN, how a splash page works and how it was created. You will also see a splash page demonstration. You'll get to review wireless client connectivity and how it receives DHCP. Then see how RF Profiles are created and WLAN availability using AP Tags.

The MX is entirely cloud-managed, enabling zero-touch installation and remote management, making it perfect for distributed branches, campuses, and data centers. It integrates natively with a complete suite of secure network and assurance features, eliminating the need for multiple devices. These features include application-based firewalling, content filtering, web search filtering, SNORT based intrusion detection and prevention, Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), site-to-site Auto VPN, client VPN, WAN and cellular failover, dynamic path selection, web application health monitoring, VoIP health, and more.

In the Meraki Dashboard, customers can access Catalyst switch statistics, configuration details, and troubleshooting tools, offering a comprehensive view from a single interface. The dashboard provides visibility into these aspects and actual monitoring but the dashboard itself only offers read-only access to the devices. Catalyst in Managed offers device management, including configuration changes. Thus, IOS-XE features, CLI management, and configuration for Cisco Catalyst switches in cloud managed mode continue to be supported.

The Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Multi-Fabric (Hierarchical SD-WAN) Sandbox is a capability of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of Cisco's SD-WAN MRF solution. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

Welcome to the Google Cloud Networking Fundamentals lab! This lab provides a hands-on learning experience for essential networking concepts and practices using the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Throughout the lab challenges, you will gain practical knowledge in setting up Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), configuring firewall rules, deploying VM instances, and implementing load balancing. Challenge 1 focuses on VPC setup and firewall rules, Challenge 2 covers VM instances and IP addresses, Challenge 3 involves SSH configuration and external firewall rules, and Challenge 4 explores load-balancing setup. By completing these challenges, you will develop a strong foundation in GCP networking and be able to apply these skills in real-world scenarios.

Get ready to build your own private cloud playground: you'll spin up a custom VPC with a dedicated subnet, punch a controlled SSH hole in its firewall, launch a Compute Engine VM in us-central1, and verify connectivity via browser SSH—all in one seamless track that cements subnetting, firewall, and VM-provisioning essentials.

Explore the untapped potential of integrating hardware and software solutions. This lab delves into innovative strategies to bridge the gap, fostering seamless interaction and unlocking new possibilities for technological advancement. Discover how this synergy can revolutionize industries and redefine the future of technology.
