you can just ping the broadcast address of the subset from LAb01-PC01, when the broadcast gets to switch, it will forward it to all ports and will flood till router interface (your Layer 3 boundary). you can also enable "debug ip packet" on router to make sure your broadcast packet is getting there, assuming this is a lab, would not suggest you doing this in production.
