Lab. 1: Cabling
Part A: Pre-lab
Objectives
To become familiar with the different types of cables used in the lab.
Components
RJ-45 connector, Crimping Tool, Twisted pair Cable.
Part 1: Cabling
Choosing the cables necessary to make a successful LAN or WAN connection requires
consideration of the different media types. There are many different Physical layer
implementations that support multiple media types.
UTP cabling connections are specified by the Electronics Industry

Alliance/Telecommunications Industry Association (EIA/TIA).
The RJ-45 connector is the male component crimped on the end of the cable. When viewed
from the front, the pins are numbered from 8 to 1. When viewed from above with the
opening gate facing you, the pins are numbered 1 through 8, from left to right. This
orientation is important to remember when identifying a cable.
Types of Interfaces
Typically, when connecting different types of devices, use a straight-through cable and
when connecting the same type of device, use a crossover cable.
Straight-through UTP Cables
A straight-through cable has connectors on each end that are terminated the same in
1
accordance with either the T568A or T568B standards.
Identifying the cable standard used allows you to determine if you have the right cable for
the job. More importantly, it is a common practice to use the same color codes throughout
the LAN for consistency in documentation.
Use straight-through cables for the following connections:

• Switch to a router Ethernet port
• Computer to switch
• Computer to hub
Crossover UTP Cables
For two devices to communicate through a cable that is directly connected between the
two, the transmit terminal of one device needs to be connected to the receive terminal of
the other device.
The cable must be terminated so the transmit pin, Tx, taking the signal from device A at
one end, is wired to the receive pin, Rx, on device B. Similarly, device B's Tx pin must be
connected to device A's Rx pin. If the Tx pin on a device is numbered 1, and the Rx pin is
numbered 2, the cable connects pin 1 at one end with pin 2 at the other end. These "crossed
over" pin connections give this type of cable its name, crossover.
To achieve this type of connection with a UTP cable, one end must be terminated as
EIA/TIA T568A pinout, and the other end terminated with T568B pinout.
To summarize, crossover cables directly connect the following devices on a LAN:

• Switch to switch,
• Switch to hub
• Hub to hub
2
• Router to router Ethernet port connection
• Computer to computer
• Computer to a router Ethernet port
Rollover UTP Cables

In a rolled cable, the colored wires at one end of the cable are in the reverse sequence of
the colored wires at the other end of the cable.

Appendix
1. Repeater: Functioning at Physical Layer. A repeater is an electronic device

that receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher level and/or higher power, or onto
the other side of an obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances. Repeater
have two ports, so cannot be use to connect for more than two devices
2. Hub: An Ethernet hub, active hub, network hub, repeater hub, hub or
concentrator is a device for connecting multiple twisted pair or fiber optic Ethernet
devices together and making them act as a single network segment. Hubs work at the
physical layer (layer 1) of the OSI model. The device is a form of multiport repeater.
Repeater hubs also participate in collision detection, forwarding a jam signal to all ports
if it detects a collision.
3. Switch: A network switch or switching hub is a computer networking device
that connects network segments. The term commonly refers to a network bridge that
processes and routes data at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Switches that
additionally process data at the network layer (layer 3 and above) are often referred to as
Layer 3 switches or multilayer switches.
4. Bridge: A network bridge connects multiple network segments at the data
link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. In Ethernet networks, the term bridge formally
means a device that behaves according to the IEEE 802.1D standard. A bridge and
switch are very much alike; a switch being a bridge with numerous ports. Switch or
Layer 2 switch is often used interchangeably with bridge. Bridges can analyze incoming
data packets to determine if the bridge is able to send the given packet to another
segment of the network.
5. Router: A router is an electronic device that interconnects two or more
computer networks, and selectively interchanges packets of data between them. Each
data packet contains address information that a router can use to determine if the source
and destination are on the same network, or if the data packet must be transferred from
one network to another. Where multiple routers are used in a large collection of
interconnected networks, the routers exchange information about target system
addresses, so that each router can build up a table showing the preferred paths between
any two systems on the interconnected networks.
6. Gate Way: In a communications network, a network node equipped for
interfacing with another network that uses different protocols.
 A gateway may contain devices such as protocol translators, impedance matching
devices, rate converters, fault isolators, or signal translators as necessary to provide
system interoperability. It also requires the establishment of mutually acceptable
administrative procedures between both networks.
 A protocol translation/mapping gateway interconnects networks with different network
protocol technologies by performing the required protocol conversions.

Lab. 2: PC Network TCP/IP Configuration
Part A: Pre-lab
Objective
 The purpose of this experiment is to gather network information (IP address,

MAC address…etc).
 learn to use the TCP/IP Packet Internet Groper (ping) command. and learn to use the
Traceroute command from the workstation. You will also be able to observe
name resolution occurrences using DNS servers.
Introduction:
An IP address is a unique network layer numbering system that end systems use in order
to identify and communicate with each other. It is a dotted decimal notation with four
numbers ranging from 0 to 255 separated by periods. The numbers currently used in IP
addresses range from 1.0.0.0 to 255. 255. 255. 255, though some of these values are
reserved for specific purposes. The decimals represent Octets of the bits in the binary
representation of the IP addresses. For example, 255 is equal to28 and represents 11111111.
This does not provide enough possibilities for every Internet device to have its own
permanent number. Subnet routing is one of the methods currently in practice to allow LANs to
use the same IP address as other networks elsewhere, though both are connected to the
Internet.
A Subnet (short for subnetwork) is a division of the network that is identified by a subnet
mask. A subnet mask is an IP address that is used to tell how many bits in an Octet(s)
identify the subnet and how many bits provide room for host addresses. For example, the
Subnet Mask 255. 255. 255.0 tells that the first 24 bits represent the subnet, while the rest
8 bits identify the hosts in the subnet.
A default gateway is a node on a computer network that serves as an access device to

another network. The default gateway address is usually (and applies to this lab) an interface
belonging to the LAN’s border router.
This lab is a non-destructive lab and can be done on any machine without concern of
changing the system configuration. It should be performed in a classroom (or other LAN
environment) that connects to the Internet so that the computer that you use has an IP
address.
8
Packet Internet Groper (ping) command is used to provide a basic test of whether a
particular host is operating properly and is reachable on the network from the testing host.
It provides estimates of round trip time and packet loss rate between hosts.
The traceroute (tracert) traces all the routers that a network layer packet has to pass
through to get to a destination.

Part B: Procedure:
A workstation connected to the internet is required.
Experiment
1. Verify the connectivity of your workstation to the internet.
2. Open the Command Prompt of the operating system using either of the
following methods:
 Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt or
 Click on Start > Run, enter cmd (short for command)
and click on ok. A Command Prompt screen should open.
3. Gather TCP/IP configuration information:
Type ipconfig (short for IP configuration) and press Enter.
The screen will show the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for your computer’s
connection.
Notice the values in the Command Prompt. The IP address and the default gateway
should be in the same network or subnet, otherwise this host would not be able to
communicate outside the network. In Fig. 3, the subnet mask tells us that the first three
octets of the IP address and the default gateway must be the same in order to be in the
same network.
9
4. Check more detailed TCP/IP configuration information:
Type ipconfig /all and press Enter. What are the DNS and DHCP server addresses? What
are their functions? What is the MAC of the network interface card?
5. Ping the IP address of another computer. Note that for the ping and tracert commands to
work the PC firewalls have to be disabled. Why do you think this is so?
Ask the IP address of the workstation that is being used by another group of students.
Then type ping, space, and the IP address that you received, then press Enter. Notice the
outputs.
6. Ping the IP address of the gateway router from the details that have been observed in the
output of step 4 above. If the ping is successful, it means that there is a physical
connectivity to the router on the local network and probably the rest of the world.
7. Ping the Loopback IP address of your computer. Type the following command: ping
127.0.0.1.
The IP address 127.0.0.1 is reserved for loopback testing. If the ping is
successful, then TCP/IP is properly installed and functioning on this
computer.
8. You can also ping using names like websites. Ping the IP address of the cisco website.
Type ping, space and www.cisco.com, then press Enter. Notice the outputs. A DNS server will
resolve the name to an IP address and the ping will be successful only in the existence of
the DNS server.
9. Ping www.zuj.edu.jo and observe the results. Is there a difference in time
between the results shown by pinging www.cisco.com and www.zuj.edu.jo If so
why and if not why?
10. Trace the route to the Cisco website. Type tracert www.cisco.com and press enter. In a
successful output, you will see listings of all routers the tracert requests had to pass 10
through to get to the destination.
11. Type tracert www.zuj.edu.jo and press enter. The output should take less time than that of
step 9.

Part B: Procedure:
Part 1: Cal c ul at e I P v 4 A d d r e s s S ub ne t t i ng
When given an IPv4 address, the original subnet mask and the new
subnet mask, you will be able to determine:
Network address of this subnet Broadcast address of this subnet Range of host addresses
of this subnet Number of subnets created
Number of hosts per subnet
The following example shows a sample problem along with the solution for solving this
problem:
Given:
12
Host IP Address: 172.16.77.120
Original Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
New Subnet Mask: 255.255.240.0
Find:
Number of Subnet Bits 4

Number of Subnets Created 16
Number of Host Bits per Subnet 12
Number of Hosts per Subnet 4,094
Network Address of this Subnet 172.16.64.0
IPv4 Address of First Host on this Subnet 172.16.64.1
IPv4 Address of Last Host on this Subnet 172.16.79.254
IPv4 Broadcast Address on this Subnet 172.16.79.255
Lets analyze how this table was completed.
The original subnet mask was 255.255.0.0 or /16. The new subnet mask is
255.255.240.0 or /20. The resulting difference is 4 bits. Because 4 bits were
borrowed, we can determine that 16 subnets were created because 24 = 16.
The new mask of 255.255.240.0 or /20 leaves 12 bits for hosts. With 12
bits left for hosts, we use the following formula: 212 = 4,096 2 = 4,094
hosts per subnet.
Binary ANDing will help you determine the subnet for this problem, which results in the
network 172.16.64.0.
Finally, you need to determine the first host, last host, and broadcast address for each
subnet. One method to determine the host range is to use binary math for the host portion
of the address. In our example, the last 12 bits of the address is the host portion. The first
host would have all significant bits set to zero and the least significant bit set to 1. The last
host would have all significant bits set to 1 and the least significant bit set to 0. In this
example, the host portion of the address resides in the 3rd and 4th octets.

Lab. 4 Packet Tracer
Part A: Pre-lab
Objectives
1. To become familiar with the switches and routers used in the lab.
2. To become familiar with the network simulator Packet Tracer.
3. To use the packet tracer to simulate a simple network.
Introduction:
Part 1: Router & Switch
Routers are computers and include many of the same hardware and software components
found in a typical PC, such as CPU, RAM, ROM, and an operating system.
The main purpose of a router is to connect multiple networks and forward packets from
one network to the next. This means that a router typically has multiple interfaces. Each
interface is a member or host on a different IP network.
The router has a routing table, which is a list of networks known by the router. The routing
table includes network addresses for its own interfaces, which are the directly connected
networks, as well as network addresses for remote networks. A remote network is a
network that can only be reached by forwarding the packet to another router.
Remote networks are added to the routing table in two ways: either by the network
administrator manually configuring static routes or by implementing a dynamic routing
protocol. Static routes do not have as much overhead as dynamic routing protocols;
however, static routes can require more maintenance if the topology is constantly changing or
is unstable.
Dynamic routing protocols automatically adjust to changes without any intervention from
the network administrator. Dynamic routing protocols require more CPU processing and also
use a certain amount of link capacity for routing updates and messages. In many cases, a
routing table will contain both static and dynamic routes.
Routers make their primary forwarding decision at Layer 3, the Network layer. However,
router interfaces participate in Layers 1, 2, and 3. Layer 3 IP packets are encapsulated into a
Layer 2 data link frame and encoded into bits at Layer 1. Router interfaces participate in
17
Layer 2 processes associated with their encapsulation. For example, an Ethernet interface on
a router participates in the ARP process like other hosts on that LAN.
Router Components and their Functions
Like a PC, a router also includes:
 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

 Random-Access Memory (RAM)
 Read only memory (ROM) CPU
The CPU executes operating system instructions, such as system initialization, routing
functions, and switching functions.
RAM
RAM stores the instructions and data needed to be executed by the CPU. RAM is used to
store these components:
 Operating System: The Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System) is copied into RAM during
bootup.
 Running Configuration File: This is the configuration file that stores the configuration
commands that the router IOS is currently using. With few exceptions, all commands
configured on the router are stored in the running configuration file, known as running-
config.
 IP Routing Table: This file stores information about directly connected and remote
networks. It is used to determine the best path to forward the packet.
 ARP Cache: This cache contains the IPv4 address to MAC address mappings, similar to the
ARP cache on a PC. The ARP cache is used on routers that have LAN interfaces such as
Ethernet interfaces.
 Packet Buffer: Packets are temporarily stored in a buffer when received on an interface or
before they exit an interface.
RAM is volatile memory and loses its content when the router is powered down or
restarted. However, the router also contains permanent storage areas, such as ROM,
flash and NVRAM.
ROM is a form of permanent storage. Cisco devices use ROM to store:
 The bootstrap instructions

 Basic diagnostic software
 Scaled-down version of IOS
ROM uses firmware, which is software that is embedded inside the integrated circuit.
18
Firmware includes the software that does not normally need to be modified or upgraded,
such as the bootup instructions. Many of these features, including ROM monitor software,
will be discussed in a later course. ROM does not lose its contents when the router loses
power or is restarted.
Flash memory is nonvolatile computer memory that can be electrically stored and erased.
Flash is used as permanent storage for the operating system, Cisco IOS. In most models of
Cisco routers, the IOS is permanently stored in flash memory and copied into RAM during
the bootup process, where it is then executed by the CPU. Some older models of Cisco
routers run the IOS directly from flash. Flash consists of SIMMs or PCMCIA cards, which can
be upgraded to increase the amount of flash memory.
Flash memory does not lose its contents when the router loses power or is restarted. NVRAM
NVRAM (Nonvolatile RAM) does not lose its information when power is turned off. This is
in contrast to the most common forms of RAM, such as DRAM, that requires continual
power to maintain its information. NVRAM is used by the Cisco IOS as permanent storage
for the startup configuration file (startup-config). All configuration changes are stored in
the running-config file in RAM, and with few exceptions, are implemented immediately by
the IOS. To save those changes in case the router is restarted or loses power, the running-
config must be copied to NVRAM, where it is stored as the startup-config file. NVRAM
retains its contents even when the router reloads or is powered off.
ROM, RAM, NVRAM, and flash are discussed in the following section which introduces the
IOS and the bootup process. They are also discussed in more detail in a later course relative
to managing the IOS.
It is more important for a networking professional to understand the function of the main
internal components of a router than the exact location of those components inside a
specific router. The internal physical architecture will differ from model to model.
Router Interfaces
Management ports
Routers have physical connectors that are used to manage the router. These connectors are
known as management ports. Unlike Ethernet and serial interfaces, management ports are not
used for packet forwarding. The most common management port is the console port. The
console port is used to connect a terminal, or most often a PC running terminal emulator
19
software, to configure the router without the need for network access to that router. The
console port must be used during initial configuration of the router.
Another management port is the auxiliary port. Not all routers have auxiliary ports. At
times the auxiliary port can be used in ways similar to a console port. It can also be used
to attach a modem.
1. Network Interfaces
The term interface refers to a physical connector on the router whose main purpose is to
receive and forward packets. Routers have multiple interfaces that are used to connect to
multiple networks. Typically, the interfaces connect to various types of networks, which
means that different types of media and connectors are required. Often a router will need
to have different types of interfaces. For example, a router usually has FastEthernet interfaces
for connections to different LANs and various types of WAN interfaces to connect a variety
of serial links including T1, DSL and ISDN.
Like interfaces on a PC, the ports and interfaces on a router are located on the outside
of the router.
Their external location allows for convenient attachment to the appropriate network
cables and connectors.

Packet Tracer
Packet Tracer is a protocol simulator developed by Dennis Frezzo and his team at Cisco
Systems. Packet Tracer (PT) is a powerful and dynamic tool that displays the various
protocols used in networking, in either Real Time or Simulation mode. This includes layer
2 protocols such as Ethernet and PPP, layer 3 protocols such as IP, ICMP, and ARP, and
layer 4 protocols such as TCP and UDP. Routing protocols can also be traced.
Introduction to the Packet Tracer Interface using a Hub Topology
 Add three more hosts.
Adding a Hub
Select a hub, by clicking once on Hubs and once on a Generic hub.
Connect PC0 to Hub0 by first choosing Connections. Click once on the

Copper Straight- through cable.
21
Adding a Switch
Select a switch, by clicking once on Switches and once on a
2950-24 switch. Add the switch by moving the plus sign "+"
below PC2 and PC3 and click once.
 Connect PC2 to Switch0 by first choosing Connections.
 Click once on the Copper Straight-through cable.
22
Configuring IP Addresses and Subnet Masks on the Hosts
 Choose the Config tab. It is here that you can change the name of PC0. It is also here
where you would enter a Gateway IP Address, also known as the default gateway. We will
discuss this later, but this would be the IP address of the local router. If you want, you can
enter the IP Address 192.168.1.1.
Click on FastEthernet. Although we have not yet discussed IP Addresses, add the IP Address
to 192.168.1.10. Click once in the Subnet Mask field to enter the default Subnet Mask. You
can leave this at 255.255.255.0. We will discuss this later.
Also, notice this is where you can change the Bandwidth (speed) and
Duplex of the Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card). The default is Auto
(autonegotiation), which means the NIC will negotiate with the hub or
switch. The bandwidth and/or duplex can be manually set by removing
the check from the Auto box and choosing the specific option.
Bandwidth – Auto
23
If the host is connected to a hub or switch port which can do 100 Mbps, then the Ethernet
NIC on the host will choose 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet). Otherwise, if the hub or switch port
can only do 10 Mbps, then the Ethernet NIC on the host will choose 10 Mbps (Ethernet).
Duplex – Auto
Hub: If the host is connected to a hub, then the Ethernet NIC on the host will choose Half
Duplex.
Switch: If the host is connected to a switch, and the switch port is configured as Full
Duplex (or Autonegotiation), then the Ethernet NIC on the host will choose Full Duplex. If
the switch port is configured as Half Duplex, then the Ethernet NIC on the host will choose
Half Duplex. (Full Duplex is a much more efficient option.) The information is automatically
saved when entered
 Repeat these steps for the other hosts. Use the information below for IP
Addresses and Subnet Masks.
Host IP Address Subnet Mask
PC0 192.68.1.10 255.255.255.0
PC1 192.68.1.11 255.255.255.0
PC2 192.68.1.12 255.255.255.0
PC3 192.68.1.13 255.255.255.0
 Verify the information: To verify the information that you entered, move the Select tool
(arrow) over each host.
 Deleting a Device or Link: To delete a device or link, choose the Delete tool and click on
the item you wish to delete.
 To connect like-devices, like a Hub and a Switch, we will use a Cross-over cable. Click
once the Cross-over Cable from the Connections options.
 Move the Connections cursor over Hub0 and click once.
 Select Port2 (actual port does not matter).
24
 Move cursor to the Connections Switch0.
 Click once on Switch0 and choose FastEthernet0/3 (actual port does not matter).
The link light for switch port FastEthernet0/3 will begin as amber and eventually change to
green as the Spanning Tree Protocol transitions the port to forwarding.
Network Simulation
In this part, we are going to use the simulator to simulate traffic between
hosts. For this scenario, delete the switch and host PC3, then connect
host PC2 to the hub.
Task 1: Observe the flow of data from PC0 to PC1 by creating network traffic.
a. Switch to Simulation Mode by selecting the tab that is partially hidden
behind the Real Time tab in the bottom right-hand corner. The tab has
the icon of a stopwatch on it.
NOTE: When Simulation Mode is chosen, a Simulation Panel will appear on the right side of
the screen. This panel can be moved by moving the cursor at the top of the panel until it
changes and then double-clicking on it. The panel can be restored to the original location
by double-clicking on the Title bar. If the panel is closed, click on the Event List button.

source. Move to PC1 and click to establish the destination.
Notice that two envelopes are now positioned beside PC0. This is referred
to as a data traffic scenario. One envelope is an ICMP packet, while the
other is an ARP packet. The Event List in the Simulation Panel will identify
exactly which envelope represents ICMP and which represents an ARP.
A scenario may be deleted by clicking on the Delete button in the Scenario panel. Multiple
scenarios can be created by clicking on the New button in the Scenario panel. The scenarios
can then be toggled between without deleting.
Select Auto Capture / Play from the Simulation Panel Play Controls.

controls the speed of the simulation. Dragging the button to the right will speed up the
simulation, while dragging is to the left will slow down the simulation.
d. Choose the Reset Simulation button in the Simulation window.
Notice that the ARP envelope is no longer present. This has reset the simulation but has
not cleared any configuration changes or MAC / ARP table entries.
e. Choose the Capture / Forward button
Notice that the ICMP envelope moved forward one device and stopped. The Capture /
Forward button will allow you to move the simulation one step at a time.
f. Choose the Power Cycle Devices button on the bottom left, above the device icons.

Lab 5 :Packet Tracer
Working with the Application Layer: DHCP, DNS,
and HTTP
Part A: Pre-lab
Objective: Setup DNS, HTTP and DHCP server in Cisco Packet tracer
Introduction:
 When you deploy Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers on your network, you can
automatically provide client computers and other TCP/IP-based network devices with valid IP
addresses. You can also provide the additional configuration parameters these clients and devices
need, called DHCP options, that allow them to connect to other network resources, such as DNS
servers, and routers.
 Domain Name System (DNS) is the name resolution protocol for TCP/IP networks, such as the
Internet. Client computers query a DNS server to resolve memorable, alphanumeric DNS names to
the IP addresses that computers use to communicate with each other.
 Short for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web.
HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions Web servers and
browsers should take in response to various commands. For example, when you enter a URL in
your browser, this actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing it to fetch and
transmit the requested Web page.

Pre Lab Question

39
1. How many types of modes are used in data transferring through networks?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. How a Switch is different from a Hub?
Part B: Procedure:
Scenario
In this lab, you will examine and configure a standalone LAN switch. Although a switch
performs basic functions in its default out-of-the-box condition, there are a number of
parameters that a network administrator should modify to ensure a secure and optimized LAN.
This lab introduces you to the basics of switch configuration.
Task 1: Cable, Erase, and Reload the Switch
Step 1: Cable a network.

Cable a network that is similar to the one in the topology diagram. Create a console
connection to the switch.
You can use any current switch in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces shown in the
topology.
The output shown in this lab is from a 2960 switch. If you use other switches, the switch
outputs and interface descriptions may appear different.
Note: PC2 is not initially connected to the switch. It is only used in Task 5.
Step 2: Clear the configuration on the switch.

Clear the configuration on the switch using the procedure in Appendix 1.
Task 2: Verify the Default Switch Configuration
Step 1: Enter privileged mode.
You can access all the switch commands in privileged mode. However, because many of the
privileged commands configure operating parameters, privileged access should be
password-protected to prevent unauthorized use. You will set passwords in Task 3.
The privileged EXEC command set includes those commands contained in user EXEC
40
mode, as well as the configure command through which access to the remaining
command modes are gained. Enter privileged EXEC mode by entering the enable
command.
Switch>enable Switch#
Notice that the prompt changed in the configuration to reflect privileged EXEC mode.
Step 2: Examine the current switch configuration.
Examine the current running configuration file.
Switch#show running-config
How many Fast Ethernet interfaces does the switch have?
What is the range of
values shown for the vty lines? Examine the current contents
Switch#show startup-config
startup-config is not present
Why does the switch give this response?
Examine the characteristics of the virtual interface VLAN1:
Switch#show interface vlan
Is there an IP address set on the switch?
What is the MAC address of this virtual switch interface?
Is this interface up?
Now view the IP properties of the interface:
Switch#show ip interface vlan1

What output do you see?
Step 3: Display Cisco IOS information.
Examine the following version information that the switch reports.
Switch#show version
What is the Cisco IOS version that the switch is running?
What is the base MAC address of this switch?
Step 4: Examine the Fast Ethernet interfaces.

Examine the default properties of the Fast Ethernet interface used by PC1.
Switch#show interface fastethernet 0/18
Is the interface up or down?

What event would make an interface go up?
What is the MAC address of the interface?
What is the speed and duplex setting of the interface?
Step 5: Examine VLAN information.

Examine the default VLAN settings of the switch.
Switch#show vlan
What is the name of VLAN 1?
Which ports are in this VLAN?

Is VLAN 1 active?
What
type of VLAN is the default VLAN?
Step 6 Examine flash memory.

Issue one of the following commands to examine the contents of the flash directory.
Switch#dir flash:
or
Switch#show flash
Which files or directories are found?
Files have a file extension, such as .bin, at the end of the filename.
Directories do not have a file extension. To examine the files in a directory,
issue the following command using the filename displayed in the output of the
previous command:
Switch#dir flash:c2960-lanbase-mz.122-25.SEE3
The output should look similar to this:

Directory of flash:/c2960-lanbase-mz.122-25.SEE3/
6 drwx 4480 Mar 19 00:04:42 +00:00 html 41
1 93
618 -rwx 467117 Mar 1 19 00:06:0 +00:0 c2960-lanbase-mz.

619 -rwx 457 Mar 1 19 00:06:0 +00:0 info
93 6 0
32514048 bytes total (24804864 bytes free)
What is the name of the Cisco IOS image file?
Step 7: Examine the startup configuration file.

To view the contents of the startup configuration file, issue the show startup-config
command in privileged EXEC mode.
Switch#show startup-config
startup-config is not present
Why does this message appear?
Let’s make one configuration change to the switch and then save it. Type the following
commands:
Switch#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End
with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#hostname S1
S1(config)#exit S1#
To save the contents of the running configuration file to non-volatile RAM (NVRAM),
issue the the command copy running-config startup-config.
Switch#copy running-config startup-config
Destination filename [startup-config]? (enter) Building configuration...
[OK]
Note: This command is easier to enter by using the copy run start
abbreviation. Now display the contents of NVRAM using the show
startup-config command.
S1#show startup-config
Using 1170 out of 65536 bytes
!
version 12.2 no service pad
service timestamps
debug uptime service
timestamps log uptime
no service password-
encryption
!
hostname S1
!
<output omitted>
The current configuration has been written to NVRAM.
Task 3: Create a Basic Switch Configuration

Step 1: Assign a name to the switch.
In the last step of the previous task, you configured the hostname. Here's a review of the
commands used.
S1#configure terminal
S1(config)#hostname S1
S1(config)#exit
Step 2: Set the access passwords.
Enter config-line mode for the console. Set the login password to cisco. Also configure the
vty lines 0 to 15 with the password cisco. 42
Enter the configuration commands, one for each line. When you are
finished, return to global configuration mode by entering the exit
command or pressing Ctrl-Z.
S1(config)#line console 0
S1(config-line)#password cisco
S1(config-line)#login
S1(config-line)#line vty 0 15
S1(config-line)#password cisco
S1(config-line)#login
S1(config-line)#exit
Why is the login command required?
Step 3. Set the command mode passwords.
Set the enable secret password to class. This password protects access to privileged EXEC mode.
S1(config)#enable secret class
Step 4. Configure the Layer 3 address of the switch.
Before you can manage S1 remotely from PC1, you need to assign the switch an IP address.
The default configuration on the switch is to have the management of the switch controlled
through VLAN 1. However, a best practice for basic switch configuration is to change the
management VLAN to a VLAN other than VLAN 1. The implications and reasoning behind
this action are explained in the next chapter.
For management purposes, we will use VLAN 99. The selection of VLAN 99 is arbitrary
and in no way implies you should always use VLAN 99.
First, you will create the new VLAN 99 on the switch. Then you will set the IP address of
the switch to 172.17.99.11 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 on the internal virtual
interface VLAN 99.
S1(config)#vlan 99
S1(config-vlan)#exit
S1(config)#interface vlan99
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan99, changed state to down
S1(config-if)#ip address 172.17.99.11 255.255.255.0
S1(config-if)#no shutdown
S1(config-if)#exit
S1(config)#
Notice that the VLAN 99 interface is in the down state even though you entered the command
no shutdown. The interface is currently down because no switchports are assigned to VLAN
99.
Assign all user ports to VLAN 99.
S1(config)#interface range fa0/1 - 24
S1(config-if-range)#switchport access vlan 99
S1(config-if-range)#exit
S1(config-if-range)#
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan99, changed state to up
It is beyond the scope of this lab to fully explore VLANs. This subject is discussed in
greater detail in the next chapter. However, to establish connectivity between the host and
the switch, the ports used by the host must be in the same VLAN as the switch. Notice in
the above output that VLAN 1 interface goes down because none of the ports are assigned
to VLAN 1. After a few seconds, VLAN 99 will come up because at least one port is now
assigned to VLAN 99.
Step 5: Set the switch default gateway.
43
S1 is a layer 2 switch, so it makes forwarding decisions based on the Layer 2 header. If
multiple networks are connected to a switch, you need to specify how the switch forwards the
internetwork frames, because the path must be determined at Layer three. This is done by
specifying a default gateway address that points to a router or Layer 3 switch. Although this
activity does not include an external IP gateway, assume that you will eventually connect the
LAN to a router for external access. Assuming that the LAN interface on the router is
172.17.99.1, set the default gateway for the switch.
S1(config)#ip default-gateway 172.17.99.1
S1(config)#exit
Step 6: Verify the management LANs settings.
Verify the interface settings on VLAN 99.
S1#show interface vlan 99
What is the bandwidth on this interface?
What are the VLAN states? VLAN1 is Line protocol is
What is the queuing strategy?
Step 7: Configure the IP address and default gateway for PC1.

Set the IP address of PC1 to 172.17.99.21, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Configure a
default gateway of 172.17.99.11. (If needed, refer to Lab 1.3.1 to configure the PC NIC.)
Step 8: Verify connectivity.
To verify the host and switch are correctly configured, ping the IP address of the switch
(172.17.99.11) from PC1.
Was the ping successful?
If not, troubleshoot the switch and host configuration. Note that this may take a couple of
tries for the pings to succeed.
Step 9: Configure the port speed and duplex settings for a Fast Ethernet interface.
Configure the duplex and speed settings on Fast Ethernet 0/18. Use the end
command to return to privileged EXEC mode when finished.
S1(config)#interface fastethernet 0/18
S1(config-if)#speed 100
S1(config-if)#duplex full
S1(config-if)#end
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface
FastEthernet0/18, changed state to down
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/18, changed state to down
%LINK-3- UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/18, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/18,
changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan99, changed state to up
The line protocol for both interface FastEthernet 0/18 and interface VLAN 99 will temporarily go down.
The default on the Ethernet interface of the switch is auto-sensing, so it automatically
negotiates optimal settings. You should set duplex and speed manually only if a port must
operate at a certain speed and duplex mode. Manually configuring ports can lead to duplex
mismatches, which can significantly degrade performance.
Verify the new duplex and speed settings on the Fast Ethernet interface.
S1#show interface fastethernet 0/18
Step 10: Save the configuration. 44
You have completed the basic configuration of the switch. Now back up the running
configuration file to NVRAM to ensure that the changes made will not be lost if the system is
rebooted or loses power.
S1#copy running-config startup-config
Destination filename [startup-config]?[Enter] Building
configuration... [OK]
S1#
Step 11: Examine the startup configuration file.
To see the configuration that is stored in NVRAM, issue the show startup-config
command from privileged EXEC mode.
S1#show startup-config
Are all the changes that were entered recorded in the file?
Task 4: Managing the MAC Address Table
Step 1: Record the MAC addresses of the hosts.
Determine and record the Layer 2 (physical) addresses of the PC network interface cards
using the following commands:
Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig /all
PC1:
PC2:
Step 2: Determine the MAC addresses that the switch has learned.
Display the MAC addresses using the show mac-address-table command in privileged EXEC mode.
S1#show mac-address-table
How many dynamic addresses are there?
How many MAC addresses are there in total?
Do the dynamic MAC addresses match the host MAC addresses?
Step 3: List the show mac-address-table options.
S1#show mac-address-table ?
How many options are available for the show mac-address-table
command?
Show only the MAC addresses from the table that were learned
dynamically.
S1#show mac-address-table address <PC1 MAC here>
Step 4: Clear the MAC address table.
To remove the existing MAC addresses, use the clear mac-address-table command from
privileged EXEC mode.
S1#clear mac-address-table dynamic
Step 5: Verify the results.
Verify that the MAC address table was cleared.
How many static MAC addresses are there?

Step 6: Examine the MAC table again.

More than likely, an application running on your PC1 has already sent a frame out the NIC 45
to S1. Look at the MAC address table again in privileged EXEC mode to see if S1 has
relearned the MAC address for PC1
Why did this change from the last display?
If S1 has not yet relearned the MAC address for PC1, ping the VLAN 99 IP address of the
switch from PC1 and then repeat Step 6.
Step 7: Set up a static MAC address.
To specify which ports a host can connect to, one option is to create a static mapping of the
host MAC address to a port.
Set up a static MAC address on Fast Ethernet interface 0/18 using the address that was
recorded for PC1 in Step 1 of this task. The MAC address 00e0.2917.1884 is used as an
example only. You must use the MAC address of your PC1, which is different than the one
given here as an example.
S1(config)#mac-address-table static 00e0.2917.1884 interface
fastethernet 0/18 vlan 99
Verify the MAC address table entries.
How many total MAC addresses are there?
How many static addresses are there?
Step 10: Remove the static MAC entry.
To complete the next task, it will be necessary to remove the static MAC address table entry.
Enter configuration mode and remove the command by putting a no in front of the command
string.
Note: The MAC address 00e0.2917.1884 is used in the example only. Use the MAC
address for your PC1.
S1(config)#no mac-address-table static 00e0.2917.1884 interface
fastethernet 0/18 vlan 99
Verify that the static MAC address has been cleared.
How many total static MAC addresses are there?
Task 5 Configuring Port Security
Step 1: Configure a second host.
A second host is needed for this task. Set the IP address of PC2 to 172.17.99.32, with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 172.17.99.11. Do not connect this PC to the switch yet.
Step 2: Verify connectivity.

Verify that PC1 and the switch are still correctly configured by pinging the VLAN 99 IP
address of the switch from the host.
Were the pings successful?
If the answer is no, troubleshoot the host and switch
configurations.
Step 3: Copy the host MAC addresses.

Write down the MAC addresses from Task 4, Step 1.
PC1
PC2
Step 4: Determine which MAC addresses that the switch has learned.
46
Display the learned MAC addresses using the show mac-address-table command in
privileged EXEC mode.
Do the MAC addresses match
the host MAC addresses?
Step 5: List the port security options.

Explore the options for setting port security on interface Fast Ethernet 0/18.
S1# configure terminal
S1(config-if)#switchport port-security ?
aging Port-security
aging commands mac-address
Secure mac

<cr>
S1(config-if)#switchport port-security
Step 6: Configure port security on an access port.
Configure switch port Fast Ethernet 0/18 to accept only two devices, to learn the MAC
addresses of those devices dynamically, and to block traffic from invalid hosts if a violation
occurs.
S1(config-if)#switchport mode access
S1(config-if)#switchport port-security
S1(config-if)#switchport port-security maximum 2
S1(config-if)#switchport port-security mac-address sticky
S1(config-if)#switchport port-security violation protect
S1(config-if)#exit
Show the port security settings.
S1#show port-security
How many secure addresses are allowed on Fast Ethernet 0/18?
What is the security action for this port?
Step 8: Examine the running configuration file.

S1#show running-config
Are there statements listed that directly reflect the security implementation of the running configuration?
Step 9: Modify the port security settings on a port.
On interface Fast Ethernet 0/18, change the port security maximum MAC address count to 1
and to shut down if a violation occurs.
S1(config-if)#switchport port-security maximum 1
S1(config-if)#switchport port-security violation shutdown

Show the port security settings.
S1#show port-security
Have the port security settings changed to reflect the modifications in Step 9? 47
Ping the VLAN 99 address of the switch from PC1 to verify connectivity and to refresh the 7
MAC address table. You should now see the MAC address for PC1 “stuck” to the running
configuration.
S1#show run
Building configuration...

switchport port-security mac-address sticky 00e0.2917.1884 speed 100
duplex full
!
<output omitted>
Step 11: Introduce a rogue host.

Disconnect PC1 and connect PC2 to port Fast Ethernet 0/18. Ping the VLAN 99 address
172.17.99.11 from the new host. Wait for the amber link light to turn green. Once it turns
green, it should almost immediately turn off.
Record any observations:
Step 12: Show port configuration information.
To see the configuration information for just Fast Ethernet port 0/18, issue the following
command in privileged EXEC mode:
S1#show interface fastethernet 0/18
What is the state of this interface?
Fast Ethernet0/18 is Line protocol is
Step 13: Reactivate the port.
If a security violation occurs and the port is shut down, you can use the no shutdown
command to reactivate it. However, as long as the rogue host is attached to Fast Ethernet
0/18, any traffic from the
host disables the port. Reconnect PC1 to Fast Ethernet 0/18, and enter the following
commands on the switch:
S1# configure terminal
S1(config-if)# no shutdown
S1(config-if)#exit
Note: Some IOS version may require a manual shutdown command before entering the no shutdown
command.
Step 14: Cleanup
Unless directed otherwise, clear the configuration on the switches, turn off the power to the
host computer and switches, and remove and store the cables.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part B: Procedure:
Task 1: Prepare the Network

Step 1: Cable a network that is similar to the one in the topology diagram.
You can use any current switch in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces shown in the
topology.
Note: If you use 2900 or 2950 switches, the outputs may appear different. Also, certain
commands may be different or unavailable.
Step 2: Clear any existing configurations on the switches, and initialize all ports in the
shutdown state.
If necessary, refer to Lab 2.5.1, Appendix 1, for the procedure to clear switch configurations.
It is a good practice to disable any unused ports on the switches by putting them in shutdown.
Disable all ports on the switches:
Switch#config term
switch(config)#interface range fa0/1-24
Switch(config-if-range)#shutdown
Switch(config-if-range)#interface range gi0/1-2
Switch(config-if-range)#shutdown
51
Task 2: Perform Basic Switch Configurations
Step 1: Configure the switches according to the following guidelines.
 Configure the switch hostname.
 Disable DNS lookup.
 Configure an EXEC mode password of class.
 Configure a password of cisco for console connections.
 Configure a password of cisco for vty connections.
Step 2: Re-enable the user ports on S2 and S3.

S2(config)#interface range fa0/6, fa0/11, fa0/18
S2(config-if-range)#switchport mode access
S2(config-if-range)#no shutdown
S3(config)#interface range fa0/6, fa0/11, fa0/18
S3(config-if-range)#switchport mode access
Task 3: Configure and Activate Ethernet Interfaces
Step 1: Configure the PCs.
You can complete this lab using only two PCs by simply changing the IP addressing for the
two PCs specific to a test you want to conduct. For example, if you want to test connectivity
between PC1 and PC2, then configure the IP addresses for those PCs by referring to the
addressing table at the beginning of the lab. Alternatively, you can configure all six PCs with
the IP addresses and default gateways.
Task 4: Configure VLANs on the Switch
Step 1: Create VLANs on switch S1.
Use the vlan vlan-id command in global configuration mode to add a VLAN to switch S1.
There are four VLANS configured for this lab: VLAN 10 (faculty/staff); VLAN 20 (students);
VLAN 30 (guest); and VLAN 99 (management). After you create the VLAN, you will be in
vlan configuration mode, where you can assign a name to the VLAN with the name vlan
name command.
S1(config)#vlan 10
S1(config-vlan)#name faculty/staff
S1(config-vlan)#vlan 20
S1(config-vlan)#name students
S1(config-vlan)#name guest
S1(config-vlan)#name management
S1(config-vlan)#end
S1#
Step 2: Verify that the VLANs have been created on S1.
Use the show vlan brief command to verify that the VLANs have been created.
S1#show vlan brief

Step 3: Configure and name VLANs on switches S2 and S3.

Create and name VLANs 10, 20, 30, and 99 on S2 and S3 using the commands from Step 1.
Verify the correct configuration with the show vlan brief command.
What ports are currently assigned to the four VLANs you have created?
Step 4: Assign switch ports to VLANs on S2 and S3.
Refer to the port assignment table on page 1. Ports are assigned to VLANs in interface
configuration mode, using the switchport access vlan vlan-id command. You can assign
each port individually or you can use the interface range command to simplify this task, as
shown here. The commands are shown for S3 only, but you should configure both S2 and S3
similarly. Save your configuration when done.
S3(config)#interface range fa0/6-10
S3(config-if-range)#interface range fa0/11-17
S3(config-if-range)#interface range fa0/18-24
S3(config-if-range)#end
S3#copy running-config startup-config
Destination filename [startup-config]?
[enter] Building configuration...
[OK]
Step 5: Determine which ports have been added.
Use the show vlan id vlan-number command on S2 to see which ports are assigned
to VLAN 10. Which ports are assigned to VLAN 10?
Note: The show vlan name vlan-name displays the same output.
You can also view VLAN assignment information using the show interfaces interface switchport
command.
Step 6: Assign the management VLAN.
A management VLAN is any VLAN that you configure to access the management capabilities
of a switch. VLAN 1 serves as the management VLAN if you did not specifically define another
VLAN. You assign the management VLAN an IP address and subnet mask. A switch can be
managed via HTTP, Telnet, SSH, or SNMP. Because the out-of-the-box configuration of a
Cisco switch has VLAN 1 as the default VLAN, VLAN 1 is a bad choice as the management
VLAN. You do not want an arbitrary user who is connecting to a switch to default to the
management VLAN. Recall that you configured the management VLAN as VLAN 99 earlier in
this lab.
From interface configuration mode, use the ip address command to assign the management
IP address to the switches.
53
S1(config)#interface vlan 99
S1(config-if)#ip address 255.255.255
172.17.99.11 .0
172.17.99.12 .0
172.17.99.13 .0
Assigning a management address allows IP communication between the switches, and
also allows any host connected to a port assigned to VLAN 99 to connect to the switches.
Because VLAN 99 is configured as the management VLAN, any ports assigned to this
VLAN are considered management ports and should be secured to control which devices
can connect to these ports.
Step 7: Configure trunking and the native VLAN for the trunking ports on all switches.
Trunks are connections between the switches that allow the switches to exchange
information for all VLANS. By default, a trunk port belongs to all VLANs, as opposed to an
access port, which can only belong to a single VLAN. If the switch supports both ISL and
802.1Q VLAN encapsulation, the trunks must specify which method is being used.
Because the 2960 switch only supports 802.1Q trunking, it is not specified in this lab.
A native VLAN is assigned to an 802.1Q trunk port. In the topology, the native VLAN is VLAN
99. An 802.1Q trunk port supports traffic coming from many VLANs (tagged traffic) as well as
traffic that does not come from a VLAN (untagged traffic). The 802.1Q trunk port places
untagged traffic on the native VLAN. Untagged traffic is generated by a computer attached to
a switch port that is configured with the native VLAN. One of the IEEE 802.1Q specifications for
Native VLANs is to maintain backward compatibility with untagged traffic common to legacy
LAN scenarios. For the purposes of this lab, a native VLAN serves as a common identifier on
opposing ends of a trunk link. It is a best practice to use a VLAN other than VLAN 1 as the
native VLAN.
Use the interface range command in global configuration mode to simplify configuring trunking.
S1(config)#interface range fa0/1-5
S1(config-if-range)#switchport mode trunk
S1(config-if-range)#switchport trunk vla 9
native n 9
S2(config)# interface range fa0/1-5
native n 9
S3(config)# interface range fa0/1-5
native n 9
Verify that the trunks have been configured with the show interface trunk command.
S1#show interface trunk

Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned Port
1,10,20,30,99 Fa0/1
1,10,20,30,99 Fa0/2
Step 8: Verify that the switches can communicate.

From S1, ping the management address on both S2 and S3.
S1#ping 172.17.99.12
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.17.99.12, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/9 ms
S1#ping 172.17.99.13
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.17.99.13, timeout is 2 seconds:
.!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms
Step 9: Ping several hosts from PC2.

Ping from host PC2 to host PC1 (172.17.10.21). Is the ping attempt successful?
Ping from host PC2 to the switch VLAN 99 IP address 172.17.99.12. Is the ping attempt successful?
Because these hosts are on different subnets and in different VLANs, they cannot
communicate without a Layer 3 device to route between the separate subnetworks.
Ping from host PC2 to host PC5. Is the ping attempt successful?
Because PC2 is in the same VLAN and the same subnet as PC5, the ping is successful
Step 10: Move PC1 into the same VLAN as PC2.
The port connected to PC2 (S2 Fa0/18) is assigned to VLAN 20, and the port connected
to PC1 (S2 Fa0/11) is assigned to VLAN 10. Reassign the S2 Fa0/11 port to VLAN 20.
You do not need to first remove a port from a VLAN to change its VLAN membership.
After you reassign a port to a new VLAN, that port is automatically removed from its
previous VLAN.
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End
with CNTL/Z.
S2(config- if)#switchport access vlan 20
S2(config-if)#end
Ping from host PC2 to host PC1. Is the ping attempt successful?
Even though the ports used by PC1 and PC2 are in the same VLAN, they are still in
different subnetworks, so they cannot communicate directly.
Step 11: Change the IP address and network on PC1.

Change the IP address on PC1 to 172.17.20.22. The subnet mask and default gateway can
remain the same. Once again, ping from host PC2 to host PC1, using the newly assigned IP
address. 55
Is the ping attempt
successful? Why
was this attempt successful?
Task 5: Document the Switch Configurations

On each switch, capture the running configuration to a text file and save it for future reference.
Task 6: Clean Up
Erase the configurations and reload the switches. Disconnect and store the cabling. For PC
hosts that are normally connected to other networks (such as the school LAN or to the
Internet), reconnect the appropriate cabling and restore the TCP/IP setti ng.

Lab. 8: Basic Router Configurations

Part A: Pre-lab
56
Objectives
1. Configure Packet Tracer Terminal to establish a console session with a Cisco IOS
Router/Switch.
2. Configure Cisco router global configuration settings.
3. Configure Cisco router password access.
4. Configure Cisco router interfaces.
5. Save the router configuration file.
Introduction:
Part 1: CISCO Internet Operating System

(IOS) Cisco IOS Command Modes
The following table contains the different IOS command modes, their roles and the shape
of the command prompt that illustrates the mode. Make sure to study this table
carefully as it is essential for proper working with Cisco routers and switches.
Router> - User EXEC mode

Router# - Privileged EXEC mode
- Configuration mode (notice the # sign indicates this is only
Router(config)#
accessible at privileged EXEC mode.)
Router(config-if)# - Interface level within configuration mode.
Router(config-router)# - Routing engine level within configuration mode.
Router(config-line)# - Line level (vty, tty, async) within configuration mode.
User Exec Mode

The user EXEC mode is entered when the router is accessed via a serial
connection or when accessing the router via telnet.
 The command prompt of the user EXEC mode is: Router1>
 The user EXEC mode only offers a small set of commands, such as ping, telnet,
and traceroute.
 Configuration parameters cannot be read or modified in this mode
 Logging the user off, type: Router1> exit
Privileged EXEC Mode

 To change or view configuration information of a router, user must enter system
administrator mode called Privileged EXEC Mode
 The privileged EXEC mode is used to read configuration files, reboot the router, and
set operating parameters.
 Entering the privileged EXEC mode requires to type a password, called the enable secret.
 The privileged EXEC mode is entered by this command: Router1>enable
If a password is set, then the system will require it at this
stage. Typing the password displays the following 57
command prompt:
Router1#
For logging off, type:
Router1#disable
Global Configuration Mode

 The global configuration mode is used to modify system wide configuration
parameters, such as routing algorithms and routing tables.
 This is done by typing: Router1#Configure terminal
 The command prompt in the global configuration mode is: Router1(Config)#
Notes:
 Typing a question mark (?) in a given command mode generates a list of all
available commands in the current command mode. Router1(config-if)#?
 This command helps to determine if a command can be executed in the current
mode
 The question mark can also be used to determine the list of available options of
a command. Router1#configure ?
 If a certain command enables a feature of a router than adding a “no” in front of
that command disables the same feature.
Sometimes it is the other way around, that is, the command to enable a feature uses the
command to disable the feature preceded by a “no”
Examples:
o Enable IP forwarding : ip routing
o Disable IP forwarding : no ip routing
o Add a routing table entry : ip route 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.3.1
o Delete a routing table entry: no ip route 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.3.1
o Disable a network interface: shutdown
o Enable a network interface : no shutdown

Task 4: Configure IP Addressing on the Host PCs.
Step 1: Configure the host PC1.
Configure the host PC1 that is attached to R1 with an IP address of
192.168.1.10/24 and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1.
Step 2: Configure the host PC2.
Configure the host PC2 that is attached to R2 with an IP address of
192.168.3.10/24 and a default gateway of 192.168.3.1.
Task 5: Verify and Test the Configurations.
The show ip route command and output will be thoroughly explored in
upcoming chapters. For now, you are interested in seeing that both R1 and R2 have
two routes. Both routes are designated with a C. These are the directly connected
networks that were activated when you configured the interfaces on each router. If
you do not see two routes for each router as shown in the following output, proceed
to Step 2.
R1#show ip route
________________________________________________________________________
R2#show ip route
________________________________________________________________________
Step 2: Verify interface configurations.
Another common problem is router interfaces that are not configured correctly or
not activated. Use the show ip interface brief command to quickly verify
the configuration of each router’s interfaces. Your output should look similar to
the following:
R1#show ip interface brief
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
R2#show ip interface brief

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
Step 3: Test connectivity
Test connectivity by pinging from each host to the default gateway that has been configured for that
host.
From the host attached to R1, is it possible to ping the default
gateway? __________ From the host attached to R2, is it
possible to ping the default gateway? __________
If the answer is no for any of the above questions, troubleshoot the configurations
to find the error using the following systematic process:
1. Check the PCs.
Are they physically connected to the correct router? (Connection could be
through a switch or directly.) ____________
Are link lights blinking on all relevant ports? ____________
2. Check the PC configurations.
Do they match the Topology Diagram? ____________ 62
3. Check the router interfaces using the show ip interface brief command.
Are the interfaces up and up? ____________
If your answer to all three steps is yes, then you should be able to successfully ping the default
gateway.
Step 4: Test connectivity between router R1 and R2
From the router R1, is it possible to ping R2 using the command ping
192.168.2.2? ____________ From the router R2, is it possible to ping R1
using the command ping 192.168.2.1? ____________ If the answer is no for
the questions above, troubleshoot the configurations to find the error using the
following systematic process:

1. Check the cabling.
Are the routers physically connected? ____________
Are link lights blinking on all relevant ports? ____________
2. Check the router configurations.
Do they match the Topology Diagram? ____________
Did you configure the clock rate command on the DCE side of the link? ____________
3. Check the router interfaces using the show ip interface brief command.
Are the interfaces “up” and “up”? ____________
If your answer to all three steps is yes, then you should be able to successfully
ping from R2 to R1 and from R2 to R3.

Lab.9: Configuring Static Routes
Part A: Pre-lab
Objective:
Part 1: Set Up the Topology and Initialize Devices
Part 2: Configure Basic Device Settings and Verify Connectivity
Part 3: Configure Static Routes
 Configure a recursive static route.
 Configure a directly connected static route.
 Configure and remove static routes.
Part 4: Configure and Verify a Default Route
Introduction
Setup a network similar to the one in the diagram. Any router that meets the interface
requirements may be used. Possible routers include 800, 1600, 1700, 2500, 2600 and 2900
routers, or a combination. Refer to the chart at the end of the lab to correctly identify the interface
identifiers to be used based on the equipment in the lab. The configuration output used in this lab
is produced from 2900 series routers.
Any other router used may produce slightly different output. The following steps are intended to be
executed on each router unless specifically instructed otherwise.
Start a HyperTerminal session as performed in the Establishing a HyperTerminal session lab.
Note: Go to the erase and reload instructions at the end of this lab. Perform those steps on all
routers in this lab assignment before continuing.

Part B: Procedure:
Note: In these exercises we will ignore password settings and simply proceed with the interface
configuration
Connect the network

 Connect the network cables.
 Power-up the Routers
Task 1: Configure both routers
a. Enter the global configuration mode and configure the hostname as shown in the chart.
b. Configure interfaces and IP host tables.
Router1
Sub- Task 1: Setting Hostname
In this exercise you will set the hostname for the router. This changes the router prompt. The
default hostname is router.
Step 1: Enter the privileged mode and then the global configuration mode.
Router>enable or en Router#configure
terminal or conf t
Step 2: Change the hostname to GAD.

Router(config)#hostname GAD
Step 3: Exit the global configuration mode.

GAD(config)#exit
66
This changes the prompt to “GAD#”.
Step 4: View the running-config to ensure the new hostname is set.

Type the following command:
GAD#show running-config or sh run
You should see the hostname specified in running-config.
Note: Repeat the same steps on Router 2 to change its hostname to BHM.
Sub- Task 2: Configuring Router Serial and Ethernet Interfaces
Step 1: Enter into the privileged mode and the global configuration mode.
Router>enable
Router#config t
Step 2: Configuring the serial interface of router
Router(config)#host GAD
GAD(config)#interface serial 0/0 OR interface serial 0
Step 3: Set the IP address and the mask for the serial interface. Type in the following command:
GAD(config-if)#ip address 192.168.15.1 255.255.255.0
Assigning IP address and mask to the serial interface of router 1.
Step 4: Set the clock rate for Serial interface. Type in the following command:
GAD(config-if)#clock rate 56000
This command sets the clock rate for a router with a DCE cable to 56K
Important: You configure the clock rate command ONLY on the DCE interface of the router, and ONLY if
you have no other device (CSU/DSU) providing the clocking.
Clock Rate: The clock rate is just a physical setting for the serial port to be able to handle different type of
load and has nothing to do with actually setting up the speed. This command simply sets the Serial interface
clock rate in BPS (bits per second). It is only applicable on a serial interface.
Step 5: Enable the serial interface. Type in the following command:

GAD(config-if)#no shutdown
This command enables the interface.
Step 6: Exit the router serial configuration mode. Type in the following command:
GAD(config-if)#exit
Step 7: Enter the router Ethernet interface configuration mode. Type in the following command:
GAD(config)#interface fast 0/0
This mode is entered by already being in global configuration mode (see the diagram above) and then entering
interface mode for fast Ethernet.
Step 8: Set the IP address and the mask for the Ethernet interface. Type in the following
command:
GAD(config-if)#ip address 192.168.14.1 255.255.255.0
Assigning IP address and mask to the fast Ethernet interface of GAD.
Step 9: Enable the Ethernet interface. Type in the following command:

GAD(config-if)#no shutdown
This command enables the interface.
Step 10: Exit the router Ethernet configuration mode. Type in the following command:
GAD(config-if)#exit
This changes the prompt to ‘GAD(config#)’
67
Step 11: Configure the interfaces, and hostname on the Router 2
On the Router2, enter the global configuration mode and configure the hostname as shown in the chart.
Finally, configure the interfaces on each router.
Router>enable Router#config
t Router2(config)#host BHM
BHM(config)#interface serial 0/0
BHM(config-if)#ip address 192.168.15.2 255.255.255.0
BHM(config-if)#exit
BHM(config)#interface fast 0/0
BHM(config-if)#ip address 192.168.16.1 255.255.255.0
BHM(config-if)#exit
Task 2: Configure the workstations
Configure the workstations with the proper IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
a. The configuration for the host connected to the GAD Router is:
IP Address 192.168.14.2
IP subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.14.1
b. The configuration for the host connected to the BHM Router is:
IP Address 192.168.16.2
IP subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.16.1
Task 3: Testing Connectivity/configuring Static Routes
Step 1: Check connectivity between the workstations using ‘ping’.
From the workstation attached to the GAD router, ping the workstation attached to the BHM router.
C:\>ping 192.168.16.2
Pinging 192.168.16.2 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 192.168.16.2:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum
= 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
Q1.Was the ping successful?
Q2.Why did the ping fail?
Step 2: Check interface status
Q3. Check the interfaces on both routers with the command show ip interface brief. Q4.
Are all the necessary interfaces up?
Step 3: Check the routing table entries
a. Using the command show ip route, view the IP routing table for GAD.
GAD#show ip route
68
output eliminated
Gateway of last resort is not set
C 192.168.14.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0 C
192.168.15.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0
b. Use the command show ip route, view the IP routing table for BHM.
BHM#show ip route
Q3. Are all of the routes needed in the routing tables?

Q4. "Based on the output from the show ip route command on the GAD and BHM routers, can a host
on network 192.168.16.0 connect to a host on network 192.168.14.0?"
If a route is not in the routers to which the host is connected, the host cannot reach the destination host.
Step 4: Adding static routes
1. How can this situation be changed so that the hosts can ping each other?
Add static routes to each router or run a routing protocol.
2. In global configuration mode, add a static route on GAD (Router1) to network
192.168.16.0 and on BHM (Router2) to network 192.168.14.0.
GAD(config)#ip route 192.168.16.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.15.2

BHM(config)#ip route 192.168.14.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.15.1
Step 5: Verify the new routes
a. Use the command show ip route, view the IP routing table for GAD.
GAD#show ip route
output eliminated
C 192.168.14.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0 C
192.168.15.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0
S 192.168.16.0/24 [1/0] via 192.168.15.2
b. Using the command show ip route, view the IP routing table for BHM.
BHM>show ip route
Output eliminated.
S 192.168.14.0/24 [1/0] via 192.168.15.1
C 192.168.15.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0
C 192.168.16.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0
Q5. Can a host on subnet 192.168.16.0 see a host on network 192.168.14.0?
Step 6: ping host to host again
a. Check connectivity between the workstations using ping. From the workstation attached to the GAD
router, ping the workstation attached to the BHM router.
C:\>ping 192.168.16.2
Pinging 192.168.16.2 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.16.2: bytes=32 time=20ms TTL=254
69
Ping statistics for 192.168.16.2:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate
round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 20ms, Maximum = 20ms, Average = 20ms
b. If the ping was not successful, check routing table to make sure static routes are entered correctly.
Upon completion of the previous steps, logoff by typing exit. Turn the router off.

Lab .10: Configuring Dynamic Routes
Part A: Pre-lab
Objective: Configure a Network using Distance Vector Routing protocol.
 RIP
Introduction:
 Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a dynamic routing protocol which uses hop count as a
routing metric to find the best path between the source and the destination network. It is a distance
vector routing protocol which has Administrative distance (AD) value 120 and works on the
application layer of OSI model. RIP uses port number 520.
 Hop Count:
Hop count is the number of routers occurring in between the source and destination network. The
path with the lowest hop count is considered as the best route to reach a network and therefore
placed in the routing table. RIP prevents routing loops by limiting the number of hopes allowed in a
path from source and destination. The maximum hop count allowed for RIP is 15 and hop count of
16 is considered as network unreachable.
