Common Lab Tasks
Common Lab Tasks
In each lab, you will follow a series of step-by-step instructions designed to help you explore the environment and gather the information you need to successfully complete the deliverables. In each lab, you will perform identical steps, such as opening the virtual lab, logging in to another server, taking screen captures, and transferring files to your local computer. To avoid repeating steps in the lab itself, those common steps have been collected in this file. You may refer to this document at any time during your lab session.
Though you may not be required to perform each of these steps in every lab, the Common Lab
Steps are listed in the order that you are most likely to encounter them. As you review this list, you should pay attention to the logic and flow of the lab. This will help you to perform the lab procedures more quickly and more accurately.
Note:
The other virtual machines used in this environment may require as long as 10 minutes to complete their initialization processes (wake-up sequences) and load all required software. If you receive a connection error message, wait at least one minute before clicking on the Remote Desktop Connection icon to retry the connection.
Virtual Lab Environment
You will use the virtual lab environment to complete the learning activities in this lab manual.
Note:
The virtual lab environment, also called the Virtual Security Cloud Lab (VSCL) requires Java, Adobe
Flash, and a compatible Web browser. The list of compatible browsers and required version numbers for
Java and Flash is available on the VSCL Web site (http://campus.toolwire.com/b4ubegin/start.asp). The
Technical Support Help Desk will not be able to assist you in the use of unsupported Web browsers. If you use an unsupported browser, you may not be able to complete the labs as directed in the lab procedures. You will need to download and install the Citrix® ICA Web client before you access the VSCL for the first time. This download package
