Objectives

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

Part 2: Create VLANs and Assign Switch Ports

Part 3: Configure an 802.1Q Trunk between the Switches

Background / Scenario

Modern switches use virtual local-area networks (VLANs) to improve network performance by separating large Layer 2 broadcast domains into smaller ones. VLANs address scalability, security, and network management. In general, VLANs make it easier to design a network to support the goals of an organization. Communication between VLANs requires a device operating at Layer 3 of the OSI model.

VLAN trunks are used to span VLANs across multiple devices. Trunks allow the traffic from multiple VLANs to travel over a single link, while keeping the VLAN identification and segmentation intact.

In this lab, you will create VLANs on both switches in the topology, assign VLANs to switch access ports, verify that VLANs are working as expected and create VLAN trunks between the two switches.

Note: The switches used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of the lab for the correct interface identifiers.

Note: Ensure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure contact your Answers.

Required Resources

  • 2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
  • 2 PCs (Windows with a terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
  • Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
  • Ethernet cables as shown in the topology

Instructions

Part 1:  Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings on the PC hosts and switches.

Step 1:  Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Attach the devices as shown in the topology diagram, and cable as necessary.

Step 2:  Configure basic settings for each switch.

Open configuration window

  1. Console into the switch and enable privileged EXEC mode.
  2. Assign a device name to the switch.

switch(config)# hostname S1

 

switch(config)# hostname S2

  1. Disable DNS lookup.

S1(config)# no ip domain-lookup

 

S2(config)# no ip domain-lookup

  1. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password.

S1(config)# enable secret class

 

S2(config)# enable secret class

  1. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login.

S1(config)# line console 0

S1(config-line)# password cisco

S1(config-line)# login

 

S2(config)# line console 0

S2(config-line)# password cisco

S2(config-line)# login

  1. Assign cisco as the VTY password and enable login.

S1(config)# line vty 0 15

S1(config-line)# password cisco

S1(config-line)# login

 

S2(config)# line vty 0 15

S2(config-line)# password cisco

S2(config-line)# login

  1. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.

S1(config)# service password-encryption

 

S2(config)# service password-encryption

  1. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is prohibited.

S1(config)# banner motd $ Authorized Users Only! $

 

S2(config)# banner motd $ Authorized Users Only! $

  1. Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

S1# copy running-config startup-config

 

S2# copy running-config startup-config

Close configuration window

Step 3:  Configure PC hosts.

Refer to the Addressing Table for PC host address information.

Part 2:  Create VLANs and Assign Switch Ports

In Part 2, you will create VLANs as specified in the table above on both switches. You will then assign the VLANs to the appropriate interface. The show vlan brief command is used to verify your configuration settings. Complete the following tasks on each switch.

Step 1:  Create VLANs on both switches.

Open configuration window

  1. Create and name the required VLANs on each switch from the table above.

S1(config)# vlan 10

S1(config-vlan)# name Management

S1(config-vlan)# vlan 20

S1(config-vlan)# name Sales

S1(config-vlan)# vlan 30

S1(config-vlan)# name Operations

S1(config-vlan)# vlan 999

S1(config-vlan)# name ParkingLot

S1(config-vlan)# vlan 1000

S1(config-vlan)# name Native

 

S2(config)# vlan 10

S2(config-vlan)# name Management

S2(config-vlan)# vlan 20

S2(config-vlan)# name Sales

S2(config-vlan)# vlan 30

S2(config-vlan)# name Operations

S2(config-vlan)# vlan 999

S2(config-vlan)# name ParkingLot

S2(config-vlan)# vlan 1000

S2(config-vlan)# name Native

  1. Configure the management interface on each switch using the IP address information in the Addressing Table.

S1(config)# interface vlan 10

S1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.11 255.255.255.0

S1(configif)# interface vlan 20

S1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.20.11 255.255.255.0

S1(configif)# interface vlan 30

S1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.30.11 255.255.255.0

 

S2(config)# interface vlan 10

S2(config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.12 255.255.255.0

  1. Assign all unused ports on the switch to the ParkingLot VLAN, configure them for static access mode, and administratively deactivate them.

S1(config)# interface range f0/2 – 5, f0/7 – 24, g0/1 – 2

S1(config-if-range)# switchport mode access

S1(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 999

S1(config-if-range)# shutdown

 

S2(config)# interface range f0/2 – 17, f0/19 – 24, g0/1 – 2

S2(config-if-range)# switchport mode access

S2(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 999

S2(config-if-range)# shutdown

Step 2:  Assign VLANs to the correct switch interfaces.

  1. Assign used ports to the appropriate VLAN (specified in the VLAN table above) and configure them for static access mode.

S1(config)# interface f0/6

S1(config-if)# switchport mode access

S1(config-if)# switchport access vlan 20

 

S2(config)# interface f0/18

S2(config-if)# switchport mode access

S2(config-if)# switchport access vlan 30

  1. Verify that the VLANs are assigned to the correct interfaces.

Part 3:  Configure an 802.1Q Trunk Between the Switches

In Part 3, you will manually configure interface F0/1 as a trunk.

Step 1:  Manually configure trunk interface F0/1.

Open configuration window

  1. Change the switchport mode on interface F0/1 to force trunking. Make sure to do this on both switches.

S1(config)# interface f0/1

S1(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

 

S2(config)# interface f0/1

S2(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

  1. Set the native VLAN to 1000 on both switches.

S1(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 1000

 

S2(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 1000

  1. As another part of trunk configuration, specify that only VLANs 10, 20, 30, and 1000 are allowed to cross the trunk.

S1(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30,1000

 

S2(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30,1000

  1. Issue the show interfaces trunk command to verify trunking ports, the native VLAN and allowed VLANs across the trunk.

S1# show interfaces trunk

 

Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan

Fa0/1       on               802.1q         trunking      1000

 

Port        Vlans allowed on trunk

Fa0/1       10,20,30,1000

 

Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain

Fa0/1       10,20,30,1000

 

Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned

Fa0/1       10,20,30,1000

Close configuration window

Step 2:  Verify connectivity.

Verify connectivity within a VLAN. For example, PC-A should be able to ping S1 VLAN 20 successfully.

Question:

Were the pings from PC-B to S2 successful? Explain.

The pings were not successful because they are not in the same VLAN. A router is needed to communicate between VLANs.
