Overview
In a challenge lab you’re given a scenario and a set of tasks. Instead of
following step-by-step instructions, you will use the skills learned from the
labs in the course to figure out how to complete the tasks on your own! An
automated scoring system (shown on this page) will provide feedback on
whether you have completed your tasks correctly.

When you take a challenge lab, you will not be taught new Google Cloud
concepts. You are expected to extend your learned skills, like changing
default values and reading and researching error messages to fix your own
mistakes.

To score 100% you must successfully complete all tasks within the time
period!

This lab is recommended for students who have enrolled in the Set up a
Google Cloud Network skill badge. Are you ready for the challenge?

Setup

Before you click the Start Lab button

Read these instructions. Labs are timed and you cannot pause them. The
timer, which starts when you click Start Lab, shows how long Google Cloud
resources will be made available to you.

This hands-on lab lets you do the lab activities yourself in a real cloud
environment, not in a simulation or demo environment. It does so by giving
you new, temporary credentials that you use to sign in and access Google
Cloud for the duration of the lab.

To complete this lab, you need:

 Access to a standard internet browser (Chrome browser recommended).


Note: Use an Incognito or private browser window to run this lab. This prevents any
conflicts between your personal account and the Student account, which may cause
extra charges incurred to your personal account.
 Time to complete the lab---remember, once you start, you cannot pause a
lab.
Note: If you already have your own personal Google Cloud account or project, do
not use it for this lab to avoid extra charges to your account.
Challenge scenario
You are tasked with setting up a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network in
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and ensuring proper connectivity between
virtual machines (VMs) in different subnets. You will also configure firewall
rules to manage access and test network connectivity between the VMs.

As part of this challenge, you will need to create the following:

 A VPC network with two subnetworks and firewalls need to be created to


connect new resources together.
 Launch two VMs in each subnet and verify that these machines can
successfully communicate with each other using the protocols you've
configured.

Task 1. Create networks


Create a VPC network with two subnets and firewalls to open connections
between resources.

1. Create a VPC network named network name with two subnets: subnet a
name and subnet b name. Use a Regional dynamic routing mode.
2. For subnet a name set the region to network region 1.

 Set the IP stack type to IPv4 (single-stack)

 Set IPv4 range to 10.10.10.0/24


3. For subnet b name set the region to network region 2.

 Set the IP stack type to IPv4 (single-stack)

 Set IPv4 range to 10.10.20.0/24


Task 2. Add firewall rules
On this network your team will need to be able to connect to Linux and
Windows machines using SSH and RDP, as well as diagnose network
communication issues via ICMP.

1. Create a firewall rule named firewall rule 1.

 For the network, use network name.

 Set the priority to 1000, the traffic to Ingress and action to Allow

 The targets should be set to all instances in the network and the IPv4
ranges to 0.0.0.0/0

 Set the Protocol to TCP and port to 22


2. Create a firewall rule named firewall rule 2.

 For the network, use network name.

 Set the priority to 65535, the traffic to Ingress and action to Allow

 The targets should be set to all instances in the network and the IPv4
ranges to 0.0.0.0/24

 Set the Protocol to TCP and port to 3389


3. Create a firewall rule named firewall rule 3.

 For the network, use network name.

 Set the priority to 65535, the traffic to Ingress and action to Allow

 The targets should be set to all instances in the network and the IPv4
ranges to 0.0.0.0/24

 Set the Protocol to icmp

Create network, subnetworks and firewalls.


Check my progress
Task 3. Add VMs to your network
Create a virtual machine in each subnet, and confirm that the machines can
communicate with each other using a protocol that you already set up. Each
machine will use network tags that the firewall rules need to allow network
traffic.

1. Create an instance name us-test-01 in subnet a name and set the zone
to ZONE.
2. Create an instance name us-test-02 in subnet b name and set the zone
to ZONE.

Verify you can connect your VM.

Now do a few exercises to test the connection to your VMs.

Switch back to the Console and navigate to Compute Engine.

Click the SSH button corresponding to the us-test-01. This opens an SSH
connection to the instance in a new window.

In the SSH window of us-test-01, type the following command to use an ICMP
echo against us-test-02, adding the external IP address for the VM in-line:

ping -c 3 <us-test-02-external-ip-address>
Copied!
content_copy

Use ping to measure latency

Use ping to measure the latency between instances between all the regions.

To observe the latency, run the following command after opening an SSH
window on the us-test-01:
ping -c 3 us-test-02.ZONE
Copied!
content_copy

Click Check my progress to verify the objective.

Create two instances in specified zones for Traceroute and performance


testing.
Check my progress

Congratulations!
In this challenge lab you have shown that you know how to create a network,
add subnets and virtual machines, and confirmed that the VMs can
communicate with each other.
