vi Revision 0817 ICX 200
Module 3 Lab: Basic Switch Administration and Stack-
ing
Time Allocated: 60 Minutes
Working with the switches via CLI is a preferred method for many administrators. It allows for quick,
direct access and enables the scripting of tasks. This lab explores the switch CLI interfaces including
the console and Telnet, management of the switch software and configuration files as well as the
setup and access control for administrative users.

Objectives
In this laboratory exercise, you will perform tasks related to initial switch configuration and other basic
administration including:
• Establishing both serial console and Telnet management sessions to the switches
• Understanding CLI basics
• Managing system software
• Managing configuration files
• Controlling user access

Revision 0817 ICX 200 1

Connecting to the RSL
If you are not already connected, use the instructions in your Student Information Sheet to reconnect
to your RSL station.

CLI Basics
The following sections will introduce the multiple aspects of the CLI including the available commands
at each command mode level and how to retrieve command help.

Command Mode Hierarchy

Moving to lower configuration modes is accomplished one step at a time. You can only move down one
level with each command entry. But you can move all the way back to the top in a single move. This
section demonstrates the steps.
1. On the PC1 Remote Desktop session, click putty and locate the RKUS04-Console saved
connection. On the terminal window that appears, press the return key until you see the device
prompt.
RKUS-04>

• What is your current prompt?

____________________________________________________________________1
• Which mode does the “>” in the prompt represent?
____________________________________________________________________2
2. On RKUS-04, enter the Privileged EXEC mode by issuing the enable command.
RKUS-04> enable
No password has been assigned yet...

• How has the prompt changed?

____________________________________________________________________3
3. On RKUS-04, step down to the Global Configuration mode by entering the configure
terminal command.
RKUS-04# configure terminal

• How did the prompt change?

____________________________________________________________________4

1. RKUS-04>
2. User EXEC mode.
3. The “No password has been assigned yet...” message is displayed. The prompt now ends with a “#” sign.
4. RKUS-04(config)# The (config) has been added to indicate that you are now in Global Configuration mode.

2 Revision 0817 ICX 200

 4. On RKUS-04, step down from here to the Interface Configuration mode by entering the
interface ethernet 1/1/1 command.
RKUS-04(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1

• How did the prompt change?

____________________________________________________________________5
5. On RKUS-04, move back up one level with the exit command. This places you back into the
Global Configuration mode. Your prompt should again contain (config), indicating that you are
in Global Configuration mode.
RKUS-04(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# exit
RKUS-04(config)#

6. On RKUS-04, move back to the interface configuration mode by entering the interface
ethernet 1/1/1 command.
7. On RKUS-04, return directly to the Privileged EXEC mode by pressing CTRL+Z at the same time.
This will change your prompt back to #. (optionally use the command end with the same results)
RKUS-04(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
RKUS-04(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# ^Z
RKUS-04#

8. On RKUS-04, try to move directly to the Interface Configuration mode from the Privileged EXEC
mode by entering the configure terminal interface ethernet 1/1/1 command.
RKUS-04# configure terminal interface ethernet 1/1/1

• What was the response?

____________________________________________________________________6

Using the CLI Help (?)

At any point during your CLI session you can get help in completing commands, learning syntax or
getting command descriptions by using the ‘?’ entry. This section demonstrates how the ‘?’ can be
used.
9. On RKUS-04, at the Privileged EXEC mode prompt enter the ? command. This displays a list of
available commands at this level of configuration mode.

5. RKUS-04(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# The (conf-if-e1000-1/1/1) has been added to indicate that you are
now in Interface Configuration mode ready to edit STACKID 1, SLOT 1, PORT interface 1.
6. Invalid input -> int eth 1/1/1. You are only allowed to move down one level at a time.

Revision 0817 ICX 200 3

 10. On RKUS-04, to display available command syntax and options enter the “?” after the end of a
particular command. Enter the configure ? command (there is a space before the ?).
RKUS-04# configure ?
terminal Configure thru terminal

Notice that terminal is the available operand to directly follow the configure command. Also
find that the prompt automatically returns with the configure command waiting for the next
operand.
11. On RKUS-04, complete the configure command by entering the terminal operand to enter
the switch configuration mode.
RKUS-04# configure terminal
RKUS-04(config)#

12. On RKUS-04, enter the exit command to return to the Privileged EXEC prompt.
13. On RKUS-04, use the ? command to show which commands are available with a certain prefix.
Enter the co? command (no space before the ?) to see a list of commands that start with ‘co’.
• What operands are available? ________________________________________7
RKUS-04# co?
configure Enter configuration mode
copy Copy between flash, tftp, config/code

14. On RKUS-04, when the prompt returns with ‘co’, press the [Enter] key without adding any
additional characters.
• What is the response?
____________________________________________________________________8
RKUS-04# co
Ambiguous input -> co

7. Configure and copy.

8. An Ambiguous input -> co error is returned.

4 Revision 0817 ICX 200

 Tab Completion
CLI commands can be completed automatically by using the [Tab] key. While typing a command
pressing [Tab] either completes the entry of the command, if it has a unique prefix, or it offers
available commands that start with the prefix entered. This section of the lab demonstrates this use.
15. On RKUS-04, from the Privileged EXEC # prompt type co then press the [Tab] key. This should
display the available configure and copy commands.
16. On RKUS-04, complete the returned co command by entering n and then pressing the [Tab] key
again.
RKUS-04# con [Tab]
configure Enter configuration mode
RKUS-04# configure

• What is the response?

____________________________________________________________________9
17. On RKUS-04, tab completion can also automatically enter the next operand for the command if
there is only one available. Press the [Tab] key again here.
RKUS-04# configure [Tab]
terminal Configure thru terminal
RKUS-04# configure terminal

• What is the response?

____________________________________________________________________10
18. On RKUS-04, press CTRL+U to clear the command from the prompt.
RKUS-04#

9. Tab completion finishes the configure command since con is unique to it.
10. Tab completion finishes the configure command by adding terminal since it is the only available operand
for configure.

Revision 0817 ICX 200 5

 Abbreviating Commands
Abbreviating CLI commands can save time by only typing just enough characters to make the prefix
unique to a specific command. This section demonstrates how to use the abbreviations.
If the abbreviations you enter are not unique to specific commands you get the ambiguous command
error witnessed earlier.
19. On RKUS-04, enter the Global Configuration mode from the Privileged EXEC mode using
abbreviations enter the conf t command.
RKUS-04# conf t
RKUS-04(config)#

Note
Remember from earlier the full command is actually configure terminal.

20. On RKUS-04, enter the exit command to return to the Privileged EXEC mode.

Configuration File Management

Switch configurations and changes to the configuration should be backed up. This section
demonstrates the movement and backup/restore actions for the switch configurations.
21. On RKUS-04, use Privileged EXEC mode to display the contents of the configuration file currently
running on the system, enter the show running-config command.
RKUS-04# show running-config

Module 4 Lab: Link Aggregation Groups and VLANs
Time Allocated: 70 Minutes
In this lab, multiple Ethernet links between switches will be combined into larger logical trunks known
as a Link Aggregation Group (LAG). These LAGs provide increased bandwidth, availability and failover.
LAGs can be either dynamic or static. A dynamic LAG is formed automatically using the Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) while static LAGs are manually configured. Both types will be
configured in the following exercise.
Additionally you will configure two VLANs across three switches, displaying the effects of VLANs
providing separation of traffic while using the same physical links.

Objectives
In this laboratory exercise, you perform tasks related to configuring LAGs:
• Configure a two port static trunk group and deploy it
• Observe failover from one trunk member to another
• Enable dynamic link aggregation on ports between a pair of switches
• Observe failover from one trunk member to another
• Disable ports within a LAG while LAG is deployed

You will also perform tasks related to configuring VLANs and tagging:
• Configure 802.1Q tagged ports and untagged ports in the same network
• Verify that traffic from multiple VLANs can use one physical link, and still be distinguishable as
separate VLAN traffic
• Change a PC’s VLAN membership without changing its physical port position

FIGURE 1 LAG Configuration Topology

Revision 0817 ICX 200 21

Connecting to the RSL
If you are not already connected, use the instructions in your Student Information Sheet to reconnect
to your RSL station.

Dynamic LAG
You configure a dynamic LAG using LACP between the RKUS-03 and RKUS-04 using ports 21 and 22
on each switch.
1. On RKUS-03, create a dynamic LAG and configure LACP to use a LAG Key ID you assign. (LAG ID is
optional and will be automatically assigned if not configured)
RKUS-03(config)# lag Blue dynamic id 123
2. On RKUS-03, associate ports 21 and 22 to the LAG group and identify the primary port.

• Why was it important to disable the port within the LAG stanza and not under the physical
port?________________5

14. On RKUS-03 and RKUS-04, remove the lag configuration and disable the ports to prepare for the
next section.
Example:
RKUS-03(config-if-e1000-1/1/11)# no lag Blue
Secondary port 1/1/22 disabled automatically upon LAG un-deploy to
avoid potential loop
LAG Blue un-deployed successfully!
RKUS-03(config)# int e 1/1/21
RKUS-03(config-if-e1000-1/1/21)# disable
RKUS-03(config-if-e1000-1/1/21)# exit
RKUS-03(config)#

5. Because if the port being disabled is the primary port then all ports would reflect the same configuration causing the
LAG to be disabled.

Revision 0817 ICX 200 25

Static LAG
A static LAG will be configured between RKUS-03 and RKUS-04 using ports 1 and 2 on each switch.
15. On RKUS-03 and RKUS-04, configure a static LAG.

Note
The port’s State changes during its initialization due to the Spanning Tree Protocol. Rerun
the show lag command several times to see the state changes. This process takes approx-
imately 30 seconds to complete.

18. On RKUS-03, attempt to configure both ports of the trunk or the secondary port by entering the
int eth 1/1/1 to 1/1/2 command.

Port-based VLANs with 802.1Q Tagging

VLAN 222 and VLAN 333 will be created on each of the three switches in your environment. The PCs
are dual attached to RKUS-04 and RKUS-05 on ports 9 and 10 on each switch. Port 9 of the PC
attachments will be added to VLAN 222 while port 10 will be added to VLAN 333. The links between
switches will be tagged to allow traffic from both VLANs to traverse.
Your environment begins with a static LAG between RKUS-04 and RKUS-03 with all ports on all
devices in the default VLAN 1. You are configuring the ports listed in the diagram to be members of
VLAN 222 and VLAN 333.

21. On RKUS-04, configure VLAN 222 with tagged port 1 and untagged port 9 and VLAN 333 with
tagged port 1 and untagged port 10:
RKUS-04(config-lag-Green)# vlan 222
RKUS-04(config-vlan-222)# tagged e 1/1/1
RKUS-04(config-vlan-222)# untagged e 1/1/9

RKUS-04(config-vlan-333)# untagged e 1/1/10
• When configuring port e 1/1/1 what was unique in the message that was
returned?_________________________________________________9

Note
Because port e 1/1/1 was the primary port of the static lag, the tagging of the port to the
VLAN causes both ports of the LAG to be added to the VLAN.

Moving Ports Between VLANs

Ports cannot be moved directly between user defined VLANS. Ports in user-defined VLANs must first
be removed from their current VLAN, placed back into default VLAN 1, and then placed into the new
VLAN.
28. On RKUS-05, attempt to move port 10 from VLAN 333 to VLAN 222 directly:
RKUS-05(config-if-e1000-1/1/10)# vlan 222
RKUS-05(config-vlan-222))# untagged e 1/1/10
error - port ethe 1/1/10 are not member of default vlan
RKUS-05(config-vlan-222)#
• What is the outcome? ________________________________________________20
29. On RKUS-05, remove port 10 from VLAN 333, putting it back into the default VLAN:
RKUS-05(config-vlan-222)# vlan 333
RKUS-05(config-vlan-333)# no untagged e 1/1/10

17. Yes
18. No

31. On RKUS-05, add 10 to VLAN 222:

RKUS-05(config-vlan-333)# vlan 222
RKUS-05(config-vlan-222)# untagged e 1/1/10
Added untagged port(s) ethe 1/1/10 to port-vlan 222.

• Do the pings receive replies? Yes/No21

Note
It will take approximately 30 seconds for the pings to be successful.

Important
Do not continue until ping replies are successful.

32. On RKUS-05, return 10 to VLAN 333 in preparation for the next lab.
RKUS-05(config-vlan-222)# no untagged e 1/1/10
RKUS-05(config-vlan-222)# vlan 333
RKUS-05(config-vlan-333)# untagged e 1/1/10
Added untagged port(s) ethe 1/1/10 to port-vlan 333.

33. On RKUS-05, disable port 10 and re-enable port 9.

RKUS-05(config-vlan-333)# int e 1/1/10
RKUS-05(config-if-e1000-1/1/10)# disable

Rapid Spanning Tree (802.1W)

In this section the convergence time advantage of Rapid Spanning Tree over Spanning Tree is
demonstrated. These steps let you witness the time difference for convergence of regular STP versus
Rapid Spanning Tree.
Your environment starts with a single LAG between RKUS-03 and RKUS-04 using ports 1 and 2.
1. On RKUS-03 and RKUS-04, establish a second static trunk group using ports 21 and 22.
RKUS-03(config)# lag Blue static
RKUS-03(config-lag-Blue)# ports e 1/1/21 to 1/1/22
RKUS-03(config-lag-Blue)# primary-port 1/1/21

RKUS-04(config-lag-Blue)# deploy
LAG Green deployed successfully!
RKUS-04(config-lag-Blue)# enable e 1/1/21 to 1/1/22
2. On RKUS-03 and RKUS-04, save the config on the devices by issuing wr mem command.
3. On RKUS-03 and RKUS-04, add port 21 as a tagged port to both VLAN 222 and VLAN 333.
Example:
RKUS-03(config)# vlan 222
RKUS-03(config-vlan-222)# tagged eth 1/1/21
Added tagged port(s) ethe 1/1/21 to 1/1/22 to port-vlan 222.
RKUS-03(config-vlan-222)# vlan 333
Added tagged port(s) ethe 1/1/21 to 1/1/22 to port-vlan 333.

Enabling Rapid Spanning Tree (802.1W)

10. Convert VLANs 222 and 333 from 802.1D to 802.1W, and observe the network impact.
a. On RKUS-03, enable RSTP on VLAN 222 and immediately make it the root bridge with:
RKUS-03(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# vlan 222
RKUS-03(config-vlan-222)# spanning-tree 802-1w
RKUS-03(config-vlan-222)# spanning-tree 802-1w priority 1
b. On RKUS-03, enable RSTP on VLAN 333 of the RKUS-03 and immediately make it the root
bridge with the same commands as step 8(a).
RKUS-03(config-vlan-222)# vlan 333
RKUS-03(config-vlan-333)# spanning-tree 802-1w
RKUS-03(config-vlan-333)# spanning-tree 802-1w priority 1
11. On RKUS-04, enable RSTP on VLAN 222 and VLAN 333:
RKUS-04(config)# vlan 222
RKUS-04(config-vlan-222)# spanning-tree 802-1w
RKUS-04(config-vlan-222)# vlan 333
RKUS-04(config-vlan-333)# span 8

3. Typically 6-12 pings, or 30-60 seconds.

Revision 0817 ICX 200 37

 12. On RKUS-04, enter the show 802-1w vlan 222 command.

• What is listed for port 21 Role and State in VLAN 222?_______________4

• What is listed for the Pri (RSTP priority) for port 21 in VLAN 222? ___________5

Note
In 802.1w DISCARDING state is the equivalent of the 802.1D BLOCKING state

13. On RKUS-03, change the RSTP port priority for port 21 in VLAN 222 so that on RKUS-04 port
21 transitions to the FORWARDING state for VLAN 222 and port 1 transitions to DISCARDING
state:
RKUS-03(config-vlan-333)# vlan 222
RKUS-03(config-vlan-222)# span 8 eth 1/1/21 pri 16

Note
On ICX switches, port priority can range between 0 and 240 in increments of 16, with a
default of 128. A lower number of 16 received in the BPDU at RKUS-04 port eth 1/1/21
takes priority over the default of 128 received at RKUS-04 port eth 1/1/1.

4. ALTERNATE/DISCARDING
5. 128 (the default priority)

Module 9 Lab A: OSPF Neighbor Adjacency and Link
Cost
Time Allocated: 60 Minutes
In this lab exercise, ICX switches will be configured to route IP packets using the OSPF routing protocol.
OSPF is a very scalable routing protocol within an autonomous system (AS) due to it’s hierarchical
nature. OSPF has specific requirements for routers to establish neighbor adjacency and begin the
exchanging of IP route information.

Objectives
In this laboratory exercise, you will perform tasks related to the OPSF neighbor adjacency process,
including:
• Recording OSPF packet contents from the neighboring process
• Changing the reference bandwidth to influence path selection based on interface link speed
• Configuring OSPF interfaces for MD5 Authentication
• Troubleshooting the common OSPF problems as they are encountered, if required
Utilizing the following CLI commands:
Commands Context Comment
ip show-subnet-length Global Configuration Change subnet mask display to prefix
format
router ospf Global Configuration Enables the OSPF routing protocol globally
on the switch
area <area-id> OSPF Configuration Defines the OSPF area(s) this switch can
participate in
auto-cost reference-bandwidth OSPF Configuration Adjusts the reference value to automatically
<ref-value> determining link cost based on link speed.
Default is 100.
ip ospf area <area-id> Interface Configuration Defines the area the interface belongs in
ip ospf md5-authentication Interface Configuration Defines the MD5 authentication key ID and
key-id <key-id> key <key- key value to be exchanged with OSPF
value> neighbors
ip ospf auth-change-wait-time Interface Configuration Defines the delay before enforcing OSPF
<time> MD5 policies
show ip ospf neighbor Any Displays information about OSPF neighbors
debug ip ospf packet Privileged EXEC Displays debug level information about
OSPF packets exchanged between OSPF
neighbors
no debug all Privileged EXEC Disables all debugging

Module 9 Lab B: Partitioning OSPF Areas and Redistri-
bution between RIP
Time Allocated: 60 Minutes
The number of router links within an area, and the stability of these links, is the primary issue that
impacts performance in OSPF networks. These links dictate the size of an area’s LSDB and how fast
convergence will occur. The best approach is to minimize the scope of the link-state database to allow
OSPF routers to learn only the most essential LSAs. In this lab exercise, the size of the LSDB will be
reduced by partitioning the backbone area.

Objectives
In this laboratory exercise, you will perform tasks related to:
• Partitioning a single area in multiple areas.
• Recording the effect on the Link State Databases when one area is broken up into 3 areas.
• Troubleshooting the common OSPF problems encountered, if required.
Utilizing the following CLI commands:
Command Context Comment
show ip ospf database link-state Any Displays the contents of the OSPF Link State
database. It does not include external routes
show ip ospf database external-link- Any Displays the contents of the OSPF External
state Link State database

Note
Because all routers in Area 0 have identical LSDBs, there may be four LSDB entries that can-
not be flushed. They will only be flushed when the entry ages out (60 minutes max). There-
fore, Area 0 LSAs will vary from a total of 13 down to 9 after all old LSAs have aged out.

Please ignore the following area 0 database entries if present:

Router LSA: 10.2.2.1
Router LSA: 10.3.3.1
Network LSA: 192.168.10.0
Network LSA: 192.168.50.0

If time permits, you may choose to reload all area 0 routers (R3-SanJose, R4-SanDiego and
R5-Seattle) in order to remove these aging entries. Make sure to save the running configura-
tion on each router before executing the reload command

Time Allocated: 30 Minutes
In this lab exercise, routes will be summarized to limit the impact on the IP routing table and the OSPF
LSDB. In OSPF, summarization can only be accomplished at OSPF boundaries (ABR or ASBR).

Objectives
In this laboratory exercise, you will perform tasks related to:

Part 1: OSPF Summarization

• Reducing the size of link-state databases throughout the OSPF autonomous system, without
sacrificing performance.
• Applying internal (ABR) and external (ASBR) route summarization.

Part 2: OSPF Area Types

• Injecting external routes into the backbone.
• Recognizing the added load to normal area routers
• Configuring a Stub area to block the external routes from entering Area 2.
• Configuring a NSSA area to block external LSAs from entering Area 3, while allowing RIP routes to
pass through into the OSPF backbone.
• Troubleshooting the common OSPF problems when encountered, as required.

OSPF Area Types

Previously in this lab exercise internal and external LSAs were summarized so that router resources
are used appropriately. However, if all the areas are Normal Areas, the external LSAs propagated out
of area 3 will flood into area 2.
In this exercise, area 2 will be converted to a stub area, thus blocking external LSAs from a new route
source in the backbone (perhaps a link to an ISP).

Configure A New External Route Source

14. On R1-SaltLake, execute the show ip ospf database external-link-state
command.
How many external LSAs are there? ______20
15. On R3-SanJose, configure interface loopback 7 as a multi-netted interface with the following
addresses:
192.168.80.1/27 192.168.80.33/27
192.168.80.65/27 192.168.80.97/27
16. On R3-SanJose, configure the router to redistribute these connected networks into OSPF.
R3-SanJose(config-ospf-router)# redistribute connected

Note
Its important to know that anytime you configure a device to redistribute into OSPF it
becomes an ASBR regardless of its location in the network. You can verify this by issuing the
show ip ospf database link-state and you can now see a type 4 LSA (ASBR)
being advertised for R3-SanJose (Router ID 10.0.0.1)

17. On R1-SaltLake, execute the show ip ospf database external-link-state

command.
• How many external LSAs are there now? ______21

Revision 0817 ICX 200 91

 Check Point: R1-SaltLake’s external LSDB should contain each of the four networks configured in
Step 15, the summarized address range from OSPF area 3 (192.168.60.64) and the
network connecting R8-Vancouver and R5-Seattle (192.168.90.0).

Reconfigure Normal Area 2 into a Stub Area

18. On R4-SanDiego, perform the following steps to reconfigure area 2 as a stub area.
a. Remove port 1/1/3 from OSPF area 2.
b. Under router ospf, remove the area 2 range 192.168.40.128/26 configuration.
c. Under router ospf, remove area 2
d. Under router ospf, create area 2 as a stub area with an external metric of 100.
R4-SanDiego(config-ospf-router)# area 2 stub 100

Note
The area 2 stub 100 command creates a new OSPF area, which is a stub area with an
advertised external route metric of 100, in this case.

e. Under router ospf, replace the area 2 range 192.168.40.128/26 configuration.

f. Configure port 1/1/3 as an area 2 interface.

92 Revision 0817 ICX 200

 19. On R1-SaltLake, perform the following steps to reconfigure area 2 as a stub area.
a. Remove interfaces loopback 1, e1/1/3 and loopback 7 from OSPF area 2.
Why is it not acceptible to keep the same configuration on R1-SaltLake since it is already
configured for area 2? _____________________________________________________22
b. Under router ospf, remove area 2
c. Under router ospf, create area 2 as a stub area with an external metric of 100.
R1-SaltLake(config-ospf-router)# area 2 stub 100
d. Configure interfaces loopback 1, e3 and loopback 7 as area 2 interfaces.
20. On R1-SaltLake and R4-SanDiego, verify that area 2 is now a stub area.
R4-SanDiego# sho ip ospf area

21. On R1-SaltLake, examine the IP routing table.

Where did the new default route with a cost of 101 come from?
____________________________________________________________________23

Note
In stub areas, the ABR generates a default route into the stub area with cost value defined in
the area 2 stub 100 command. This value plus the cost of the 1Gbps interface between
R1-SaltLake and R4-SanDiego equals 101.

22. On R1-SaltLake, execute the show ip ospf database external command.

• How does the output differ from Step 17?
________________________________________24
23. On R1-SaltLake, invoke the show ip ospf database link-state command.
• Are there still summary LSAs?_________25
24. On R4-SanDiego, configure the ABR to stop forwarding Type 3 summary LSAs into area 2:
R4-SanDiego(config-ospf-router)# area 2 stub 100 no-summary

Note
With the no-summary argument, the ABR will no longer forward Type 3 summary LSAs into
the stub area. This argument only needs to be applied at the ABR, not all routers in the stub
area.

22. Because OSPF adjacency requires not only the area # but also the area type to match. R4-SanDiego is now
advertising area 2 as a stub area.
23. From the ABR (R4-SanDiego)
24. There are now no external LSDB entries
25. Yes
