Introduction
In Part I of this practice skills assessment, you will configure the Company A network
with routing and ACLs. You will configure dynamic routing with OSPFv2 and distribute
a default route. In addition, you will configure two access control lists.
In Part II of this practice skills assessment, you will configure the Company A network
with RPVST+, port security, EtherChannel, DHCP, VLANs and trunking, and routing
between VLANs. In addition you will perform an initial configuration on a switch,
secure switch ports and create SVIs. You will also control access to the switch
management network with an access control list.
All IOS device configurations should be completed from a direct terminal
connection to the device console from an available host.
Some values that are required to complete the configurations have not been given
to you. In those cases, create the values that you need to complete the
requirements. These values may include certain IP addresses, passwords, interface
descriptions, banner text, and other values.
For the sake of time, many repetitive but important configuration tasks have been
omitted from this activity. Many of these tasks, especially those related to device
security, are essential elements of a network configuration. The intent of this activity is
not to diminish the importance of full device configurations.

Instructions
All configurations must be performed through a direct terminal connection to the
device console line from an available host.
Part I: OSPFv2 Router Configuration
Step 1: Plan the Addressing.
Determine the IP addresses that you will use for the required interfaces on the devices
and LAN hosts. Follow the configuration details provided in the Addressing Table.
Step 2: Configure Site 1.
Configure Site 1 with initial settings:

Configure the router host name: Site-1. This value must be entered exactly as it
appears here.

Router(config)#hostname Site-1

Prevent the router from attempting to resolve command line entries to IP

addresses.

Site-1(config)# no ip domain look up

Protect device configurations from unauthorized access with an

encrypted secret password.

Site-1(config)# enable secret class

Secure the router console and remote access lines.

Site-1(config)#line console 0
Site-1(config-line)#password cisco
Site-1(config-line)#login
Site-1(config)#line vty 0 4
Site-1(config-line)#password cisco
Site-1(config-line)#login
Site-1(config)#line aux 0
Site-1(config-line)#password cisco
Site-1(config-line)#login

Prevent system status messages from interrupting console output.

Site-1(config)#line console 0
Site-1(config-line)#logging synchronous

Configure a message-of-the-day banner.

Site-1(config)#banner motd Authorized Access Only

Encrypt all clear text passwords.

Site-1(config)#service password-encryption
Step 3: Configure the Router Interfaces.
Configure the interfaces of all routers for full connectivity with the following:

IP addressing

Descriptions for serial interfaces.

Configure DCE settings where required. Use a rate of 128000.

The Ethernet subinterfaces on Site 2 will configured later in this assessment.

Step 4: Configure inter-VLAN routing on Site 2.

Configure router Site 2 to route between VLANs using information in the Addressing
Table and VLAN Switch Port Assignment Table. The VLANs will be configured on the
switches later in this assessment.

Do not route the VLAN 99 network.

Step 5: Configure Default Routing.

On HQ, configure a default route to the Internet. Use the exit interface argument.
Step 6: Configure OSPF Routing.
a. On all routers:

Configure multiarea OSPFv2 to route between all internal networks. Use a

process ID of 1.

Use the area numbers shown in the topology.

Use the correct wild card masks for all network statements.

You are not required to route the SVI-NET VLAN network on Site 2.

Prevent routing updates from being sent to the LANs.

b. On the HQ router:

Configure multiarea OSPFv2 to distribute the default route to the other routers.

Step 7: Customize Multiarea OSPFv2.

Customize multiarea OSPFv2 by performing the following configuration tasks:
a. Set the bandwidth of all serial interfaces to 128 kb/s.
b. Configure OSPF router IDs as follows:

Site 1: 1.1.1.1

HQ: 2.2.2.2

Site 2: 3.3.3.3

The configured router IDs should be in effect on all three routes.

c. Configure the OSPF cost of the link between Site 1 and HQ to 7500.
Step 8: Configure OSPF MD5 Authentication on the Required Interfaces.

Configure OSPF to authenticate routing updates with MD5 authentication on the OSPF
interfaces.

Use a key value of 1.

Use xyz_OSPF as the password.

Apply MD5 authentication to the required interfaces.

Step 9: Configure Access Control Lists.

You will configure two access control lists in this step. You should use
the any and host keywords in the ACL statements as required. The ACL specifications
are as follows:
a. Restrict access to the vty lines on HQ with an ACL:

Create a named standard ACL using the name TELNET-BLOCK. Be sure

that you enter this name exactly as it appears in this instruction.

Allow only Admin Host to access the vty lines of HQ.

No other Internet hosts (including hosts not visible in the topology) should be
able to access the vty lines of HQ.

Your solution should consist of one ACL statement.

Your ACL should be placed in the most efficient location as possible to conserve
network bandwidth and device processing resources.

b. Block ping requests from the Internet with an ACL:

Use access list number 101.

Allow only Admin Host to ping addresses within the Company A network. Only
echo messages should be permitted.

Prevent all other Internet hosts (not only the Internet hosts visible in the
topology) from pinging addresses inside the Company A network. Block echo
messages only.

All other traffic should be allowed.

Your ACL should consist of three statements.

Your ACL should be placed in the most efficient location as possible to conserve
network bandwidth and device processing resources.

c. Control access to the management interfaces (SVI) of the three switches attached
to Site 2 as follows:

Create a standard ACL.

Use the number 1 for the list.

Permit only addresses from the admin VLAN network to access any address on
the SVI-NET VLAN network.

Hosts on the admin VLAN network should be able to reach all other
destinations.

Your list should consist of one statement.

Your ACL should be placed in the most efficient location as possible to conserve
network bandwidth and device processing resources.

You will be able to test this ACL at the end of Part II of this assessment.

Part II: Switching and DHCP Configuration

Step 1: Create and name VLANs.
On all three switches that are attached to Site 2, create and name the VLANs shown in
the VLAN Table.

The VLAN names that you configure must match the values in the table exactly.

Each switch should be configured with all of the VLANs shown in the table.

Step 2: Assign switch ports to VLANs.

Using the VLAN table, assign switch ports to the VLANs you created in Step 1, as
follows:

All switch ports that you assign to VLANsn should be configured to static
access mode.

All switch ports that you assign to VLANs should be activated.

Note that all of the unused ports on SW-A should be assigned to VLAN 99. This
configuration step on switches SW-B and SW-C is not required in this
assessment for the sake of time.

Secure the unused switch ports on SW-A by shutting them down.

Step 3: Configure the SVIs.

Refer to the Addressing Table. Create and address the SVIs on all three of the switches
that are attached to Site 2. Configure the switches so that they can communicate with
hosts on other networks. Full connectivity will be established after routing between
VLANs has been configured later in this assessment.
Step 4: Configure Trunking and EtherChannel.
a. Use the information in the Port-Channel Groups table to configure EtherChannel as
follows:

Use LACP.

The switch ports on both sides of Channels 1 and 2 should initiate negotiations
for channel establishment.

The switch ports on the SW-B side of Channel 3 should initiate negotiations
with the switch ports on SW-C.

The switch ports on the SW-C side of Channel 3 should not initiate negotiations
with the switch ports on the other side of the channel.

All channels should be ready to forward data after they have been configured.

b. Configure all port-channel interfaces as trunks.

c. Configure static trunking on the switch port on SW-B that is connected to Site 2.
Step 5: Configure Rapid PVST+.
Configure Rapid PVST+ as follows:
a. Activate Rapid PVST+ and set root priorities.

All three switches should be configured to run Rapid PVST+.

SW-A should be configured as root primary for VLAN 2 and VLAN 4 using the
default primary priority values.

SW-A should be configured as root secondary for VLAN 8 and VLAN 15 using
the default secondary priority values.

SW-C should be configured as root primary for VLAN 8 and VLAN 15 using
the default primary priority values.

SW-C should be configured as root secondary for VLAN 2 and VLAN 4 using
the default secondary priority values.

b. Activate PortFast and BPDU Guard on the active SW-C switch access ports.

On SW-C, configure PortFast on the access ports that are connected to hosts.

On SW-C, activate BPDU Guard on the access ports that are connected to hosts.

Step 6: Configure switch security.

You are required to complete the following only on some of the devices in the
network for this assessment. In reality, security should be configured on all devices in
the network.
a. Configure port security on all active access ports that have hosts connected on SW-A.

Each active access port should accept only two MAC addresses before a security
action occurs.

The learned MAC addresses should be recorded in the running configuration.

If a security violation occurs, the switch ports should provide notification that a
violation has occurred but not place the interface in an err-disabled state.

b. On SW-B, configure the virtual terminal lines to accept only SSH connections.

Use a domain name of ccnaPTSA.com.

Use SW-B as the host name.

Use a modulus value of 1024.

Configure SSH version 2.

Configure the vty lines to only accept SSH connections.

Configure user-based authentication for the SSH connections with a user name
ofnetadmin and a secret password of SSH_secret9. The user name and
password must match the values provided here exactly.

c. Ensure that all unused switch ports on SW-A have been secured as follows:

They should be assigned to VLAN 99.

They should all be in access mode.

They should be shutdown.

Step 7: Configure Site 2 as a DHCP server for the hosts attached to the SW-A and
SW-C switches.
Configure three DHCP pools as follows:

Refer to the information in the Addressing Table.

Create a DHCP pool for hosts on VLAN 2 using the pool name vlan2pool.

Create a DHCP pool for hosts on VLAN 4 using the pool name vlan4pool.

Create a DHCP pool for hosts on VLAN 8 using the pool name vlan8pool.

All VLAN pool names must match the provided values exactly.

Exclude the first five addresses from each pool.

Configure a DNS server address of 192.168.200.225.

All hosts should be able to communication with hosts on other networks.

Step 8: Configure host addressing.

Hosts should be able to ping each other and external hosts after they have been correctly
addressed, where permitted.

Hosts on VLANs 2, 4, and 8 should be configured to receive addresses

dynamically over DHCP.

Hosts on VLAN 15 should be addressed statically as indicated in the Addressing

Table. Once configured, the hosts should be able to ping hosts on other
networks.

Hosts on the LANs attached to Site 1 should be statically assigned addresses that
enable them to communicate with hosts on other networks, as indicated in the
Addressing Table.
