I need an experienced Cisco professional to get a small CCNA-level lab fully operational. I have both routers and a stack of Cisco Catalyst 2900 Series switches that must be brought online, tuned, and documented. The immediate work covers device setup from factory defaults, interface addressing, basic security hardening, VLAN creation, inter-VLAN routing, and dynamic routing protocol configuration. Once everything is up, I want you on call to troubleshoot any unexpected behaviour and then fine-tune for performance so latency, throughput, and CPU utilisation stay within healthy ranges. Deliverables: • Running-config and startup-config files for every router and switch • A concise network diagram (Visio or Packet Tracer is fine) showing topology, VLANs, and routing domains • A brief report listing the issues you found during troubleshooting, the commands you used to verify fixes, and any performance tweaks applied • Verification screenshots or command outputs (show run, show ip route, show vlan, show interfaces) that prove the network meets the agreed criteria Acceptance criteria: all devices must ping end-to-end across VLANs, routing tables must display the correct networks, and switch ports should show zero errors after optimisation. If you are comfortable with classic IOS on the 2900 series and can move quickly, let’s get started today.

Hello There! I’m Md Ruhul Ajom, a Software Developer with 10+ years of experience working with networking, Linux systems, servers, troubleshooting, and technical infrastructure. I understand you need a CCNA-level Cisco lab brought online from factory defaults, including VLANs, inter-VLAN routing, interface addressing, security hardening, dynamic routing, troubleshooting, and performance verification across your routers and Catalyst 2900 switches. I have a few questions: 1. How many routers and Catalyst 2900 switches are included in the lab? 2. Which dynamic routing protocol do you want to use—OSPF, EIGRP, or another protocol? 3. Do you already have a target topology/VLAN plan, or should I design it? I’m comfortable with Cisco IOS, VLANs, trunking, routing, ACLs, interface troubleshooting, show commands, and network documentation. I’ll provide configs, topology, verification outputs, and a concise troubleshooting report. I’m ready to start and can work through the lab systematically to meet your acceptance criteria. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Md Ruhul Ajom

Hello, I've already built and tested a complete lab that covers your scope, in Cisco Packet Tracer. It is ready to review: - Two sites (HQ and Branch): 2 routers, 3 switches and 3 PCs - Configuration from factory defaults: interface addressing, VLANs (10, 20, 30) and a management VLAN (99) - Inter-VLAN routing (router-on-a-stick) and OSPF with MD5 authentication - EtherChannel (LACP) and Rapid-PVST with a defined root bridge - Security hardening: encrypted passwords, SSH-only access, unused ports shut down, port security, PortFast with BPDU Guard, and a dedicated native VLAN - Verified: end-to-end pings across VLANs and between both sites, correct routing tables, and zero errors on the tested interfaces Deliverables are ready: running-config and startup-config for every device, a network diagram, a short troubleshooting report (issues found and the commands used to fix them), and verification outputs. Since this was built in Packet Tracer, I would adapt it to your real routers and Catalyst 2900 switches. If you send me the exact models and how I can access them (SSH or console), I can start right away. Best regards
