A single router, an open terminal, and the four CLI moves you'll use in every later lab: privilege exec, abbreviated commands, output filters, and the running-config.

Scenario
Welcome to netverdict. Before we touch a router, here's the lay of the land — three panes you'll use constantly: - Canvas (top): the network diagram. Drag to pan, wheel to zoom. Click a device to open a terminal on it. Right-click for quick actions. - Terminal (bottom): one tab per device session. The splitter between canvas and terminal is draggable; double-click to reset. - Inspector (right side, when a device is selected): live state plus ⤓ config to download a running-config.txt and ⤒ import to paste one in. The toolbar across the top has Pause / Resume / Step for simulation control — the sim runs continuously by default at a 250 ms heartbeat, so packets flow as soon as you configure them. This lab pre-loads a single router R1 with one IP address and an open terminal session. Your job: run four commands and feel out the CLI.
