SAUTO-300-735 Labs

22 planned lessons collapse into 12 planned labs (0 built so far) across 12 scenarios, numbered per module in the order you meet them: each lab follows the last lesson it exercises.

How a lab is put together

Scenario 1 establishes the foundation. Every later scenario depends on Scenario 1 and, wherever possible, on nothing else — hub-and-spoke rather than a chain. A failure in Scenario 3 does not strand Scenario 4, you can start at any scenario from one known state, and each lab needs one start-config rather than one per scenario.

Each module opens with a setup lab that brings its appliances up from the start-config — numbered like every other lab, first in its module. Labs are numbered per module, the way lessons are: M4 · Lab 2 is the second lab of Module 4. Every lab sits right after the last lesson it exercises, so you do a lesson or a few, then the lab.

Labs are grouped by module and exam objective; a grouping is refined lesson by lesson as each lab guide publishes, and the numbering never changes once a lab is live.
