This is my currently all in one labs that I’ve setup for my studying for my 300-410 ENARSI

This lab allows me to configure a number of protocols OSPF, EIGRP and BGP.  I’ve configured route redistribution between OSPF to BGP and BGP to EIGRP allowing me to ping across the whole network not that you would ever do that in real life but playing around in the lab. I’ve also have configured some route maps and conditions forwarding blocking and allowing certain routes from accessing parts of the network.

Another thing I’ve done is build secure GRE tunnels between the OSPF network and the EIGRP network.

Future plans are to setup a VRF and MPLS between the OSPF and EIGRP networks, I might setup some monitoring to SNMPS and logging as well as configure some IP SLA and Netflow as they are part of the Exam Topics for ENARSI

One of the problems I ran in to with this lab, I have it configured using EVE-NG and every time I shut all the routers down and turn them back down all the interfaces stay admin down and would have to go to each device and run a no shut on every single router. I’m not sure if there is a setting to make them come up on their own on EVE-NG. What I did to over come this issue is configuring the Embedded Event manager Applet to turn the faces admin up as soon as the routers reboot, the script runs a cli event that enter enable mode and config mode and interface range, includes all the interfaces and issues an no shut and exits back to privilege mode and this happens as soon as the router boots up it also gives me a syslog message to let me know the command has run. This is the config I’ve setup to accomplish this task.

event manager applet ENABLE-ALL-INTERFACES
description Enable all interfaces on startup
event timer countdown time 30
action 1.0 cli command “enable”
action 1.1 cli command “configure terminal”
action 1.2 cli command “interface range gi0/0-3”
action 1.3 cli command “no shut”
action 1.4 cli command “end”
action 1.5 syslog msg “All interfaces have been enabled“

I also put a default config on all routers to make it so there is no domain look up and console login goes right to privilege mode and that there is no time out. I only recommend doing this only in a lab environment, I do this because If I’m working on a lab and making notes or doing a configure in a note pad before I dump it on to the router so that the router doesn’t time out.

This is the command I use as a default on most of all my Cisco devices.

no ip domain lookup
line console 0
privilege level 15
logging sync
exec-time 0 0
