All 12 Network+ Labs

Every lab simulates the real tool or protocol a network engineer uses on the job. You're not reading about it — you're configuring it, breaking it, and fixing it.

🗺
Lab 01 · Domain 1.0
Topology and Addressing
Design and document network topologies. Assign IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateways. Work with both IPv4 CIDR notation and IPv6 addressing schemes in a live network diagram simulator.

Lab 02 · Domain 1.0 & 5.0
Ansible & Git Automation
Automate network configuration using Ansible playbooks and version-control changes with Git. Write YAML playbooks to configure routers and switches, commit changes, and roll back a bad config — all in a simulated terminal.

Lab 05 · Domain 1.0
OSI Model Stack Analysis
Walk a packet through all 7 OSI layers in an interactive frame dissector. Map each protocol header to its layer, identify encapsulation at each step, and diagnose a simulated network fault by isolating which layer is failing.

Advanced Diagnostics & Packet Analysis
Diagnose connectivity failures using ping, traceroute, netstat, nslookup, and iperf in a simulated multi-hop network. Capture the problem traffic in a Wireshark sim, identify the root cause, and apply the fix.

On-Path Attack Simulator
Execute a simulated ARP poisoning / on-path (MITM) attack between two hosts on the same subnet. Intercept and read cleartext credentials in a Wireshark capture, then implement ARP inspection and 802.1X to detect and stop the attack.

Advanced Cryptographic Lifecycle
Work through the full PKI lifecycle — generate a CA, sign a certificate, inspect its fields, simulate expiry, and revoke it via CRL and OCSP. Compare symmetric vs. asymmetric encryption with live encrypt/decrypt demonstrations using AES-256 and RSA-2048.

Built by Someone Who Does This

👨‍🏫
Prof. Ramiro Salazar, Jr.
CompTIA CySA+ Certified · Founder, CyberPath Academy LLC

Professor Salazar is a working cybersecurity and networking instructor. These labs weren't written from a textbook — every topology, every attack scenario, and every troubleshooting exercise comes from real network engineering and security work. The Ansible playbooks, the ARP poisoning walkthrough, the PKI lifecycle — all built from actual production experience and years of teaching students what the exam really tests.

// FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need GNS3 or Packet Tracer?+
No. Every lab runs entirely in your web browser with no external software. You don't need a Cisco account, a GNS3 setup, a Packet Tracer license, or any virtual machines. Just open the lab page and start working.
How long do I have access?+
90 days from the date of purchase. That gives you plenty of time to work through all 12 labs multiple times and revisit any topics that need reinforcement before your exam.
Are these aligned to the current N10-009 exam?+
Yes. All 12 labs are mapped to CompTIA Network+ N10-009 objectives. Each lab page shows the exact domain and objective it covers, and every exam question references the N10-009 exam domains directly.
Will these help with performance-based questions?+
Absolutely. Network+ PBQs regularly test subnetting, OSI layer identification, protocol analysis, and network troubleshooting — exactly what these labs practice. Interacting with the tools in a simulated environment is the best preparation for PBQs.
I'm a complete beginner. Are these too advanced?+
The labs are designed for students working toward their Network+ certification — so they assume basic familiarity with networking concepts but walk you through every step of the simulation. Each lab includes an instructor tip that explains the real-world context behind what you're doing.
What if I have questions or need help?+
Email us at support@cyberpathacademy.com. Professor Salazar personally reviews student questions and typically responds within 24 hours on business days.
