IOS to version 12 if necessary. If you don’t upgrade to version 12, the lab commands will

be slightly different in some cases. The “show version” command displays which IOS

version you are using.

team. In this way, every student is configuring a router. For these labs, you can use any

download of HyperTerminal. You can get that free from
