Cisco Systems Remote Laboratory

GCTL Cisco Remote Lab exercises provide instant access to a live lab environment over the Internet, with exercises covering a broad range of courses, products, and operating procedures. Going through the exercises enables you to practice configuration, deployment, or troubleshooting scenarios in a real-life environment on live equipment.

The exercises can be a supplement or added value to instructor-led classroom training or an integral part of a virtual classroom, resulting in a global learning solution available over the Internet anytime and anywhere. Upon completion of each lab exercise, the built-in GCTL Cisco Remote Labs Assessment Engine verifies your performance and the compliance of your solution with the objectives of the exercise.

You can use GCTL Cisco Remote Labs exercises to improve your day-to-day skills or to prepare for exams leading to various Cisco career certifications, such as the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP), the Cisco Certified Security Professional (CCSP), the Cisco Certified Internetworking Professional (CCIP) or the Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) certifications.

The GCTL Cisco Remote Labs are focused on skills required by networking professionals when deploying, troubleshooting, and operating complex data networks. The lab topology of each individual exercise is carefully tailored to the objectives of that very exercise, thus giving the students maximum exposure to the usual deployment scenarios of various technologies or Cisco IOS features.
 

Wide Repertoire
 

Remote Lab exercises are classified into three categories:

Configuration exercises focus on individual technology features or Cisco IOS features and provide the student with hands-on configuration and monitoring experience of individual features. The student can choose to pursue a whole set of configuration exercises addressing a certain technology or select only those exercises that address the features deployed in the student’s particular network.
Troubleshooting exercises present the student with a non-working network, expose a problem, and require that the network be brought into an operational state. The student needs to find the design or configuration errors and fix them. The majority of troubleshooting exercises address configuration errors relevant to a single technology, while some of the more complex exercises contain a mixture of errors spanning different technologies.
Solutions deployment exercises present the student with a deployment scenario that needs to be configured in a remote lab. These exercises, usually somewhat longer, require the student to master a variety of technologies needed to deploy the given network design.

Remote Labs Features and Benefits


Real Equipment
Remote Lab technology uses real Cisco hardware accessed over the Internet, allowing you to perform real-world tasks in a safe and protected environment. You get practical hands-on experience without investing in your own equipment or putting your network at risk.

On-line Hints
You are not alone during the exercise. The Remote Lab system provides gradually revealing hints - from simple suggestions, lists of applicable commands, usage guidelines, or complete solutions, as you require.

Measurable Progress
Once you have completed the lab exercise, the Remote Lab Assessment Engine helps you evaluate whether you have reached the exercise objectives and assesses the knowledge or skills you have attained while performing the lab exercise.

Anytime, Anywhere Access
Remote Lab exercises can be accessed instantly – at your office or at home, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – or you can reserve lab time in advance so you can practice when you wish.

Duration
Remote lab exercises range in length from one hour (for simple configuration exercises) to four hours (for complex troubleshooting or deployment exercises). The exercises are performed on lab topologies containing between four and ten routers.
