Setting Up the Lab
Feel free to use any combination of routers and switches as long as you fulfill the requirements within the topology diagram as shown in Figure 1-1. However, it is recommended to use the same model of equipment because this will make life easier should you load configurations directly from the supplied configurations into your own devices.

Lab Topology
This troubleshooting exercise uses the topology outlined in Figure 1-1, which you will need to re-create with your own equipment or by using lab equipment on the CCIE R&S 360 program.
