Configure Inter VLAN Routing

The document provides instructions for configuring inter-VLAN routing between a switch and router. The objectives are to create VLANs on the switch, assign ports to each VLAN, configure a trunk link between the switch and router, and subnet each VLAN. Steps are provided to configure the switch and router interfaces, assign IP addresses, and test connectivity between VLANs. The document also includes instructions for erasing the switch configuration to start with an unconfigured device.

Configuring Inter-VLAN Routing

Objective
Create a basic switch configuration and verify it.
Create multiple VLANs, name them and assign multiple member ports
to them.
Create a basic configuration on a router.
Create an 802.1q trunk line between the switch and router to allow
communication between VLANs.
Test the routing functionality.

Background/Preparation
When managing a switch, the Management Domain is always VLAN 1.
The Network Administrator's workstation must have access to a port in
the VLAN 1 Management Domain. All ports are assigned to VLAN 1 by
default. This lab will also help demonstrate how VLANs can be used to
separate traffic and reduce broadcast domains.

Cable a network similar to the one in the diagram. The configuration


output used in this lab is produced from a 2950 series switch. Any other
switch used may produce different output.
The following steps are to be executed on each switch unless
specifically instructed otherwise.

Note: The router used must have a Fast Ethernet interface in order to
support trunking and inter-VLAN routing.

Start a HyperTerminal session.


Note: Go to the erase and reload instructions at the end of this lab.
Perform those steps on all switches in this lab assignment before
continuing.

Step 1 Configure the switch


Configure the hostname, access, and command mode passwords, as
well as the management LAN settings. These values are shown in the
chart. If problems occur while performing this configuration,
refer to the Basic Switch Configuration lab.

Step 2 Configure the hosts attached to the switch


Configure the hosts using the following information.
a. For the host in port 0/5:
IP address 192.168.5.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.5.1

b. For the host in port 0/9:


IP address 192.168.7.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.7.1

Step 3 Verify connectivity


Check to see if the hosts can ping the switch.
a. Ping the switch IP address from the hosts.

b. Were the pings successful?


__________________________________________________
c. Why or why not?
__________________________________________________
Step 4 Create and name two VLANs
Enter the following commands to create and name two VLANs:
Switch_A#vlan database
Switch_A(vlan)#vlan 10 name Sales
Switch_A(vlan)#vlan 20 name Support
Switch_A(vlan)#exit

Step 5 Assign ports to VLAN 10


Assigning ports to VLANs must be done from the interface mode. Enter
the following commands to add ports 0/5 to 0/8 to VLAN 10:

Switch_A#configure terminal
Switch_A(config)#interface fastethernet 0/5
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/6
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/7
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/8
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
Switch_A(config-if)#end

Step 6 Assign ports to VLAN 20


Enter the following commands to add ports 0/9 to 0/12 to VLAN 20:
Switch_A#configure terminal
Switch_A(config)#interface fastethernet 0/9
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/10
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/11
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet0/12
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20
Switch_A(config-if)#end
Step 7 Display the VLAN interface information
a. On Switch_A, type the command show vlan at the Privileged EXEC
prompt as follows:
Switch_A#show vlan
b. Are ports assigned correctly?
_________________________________________________

Step 8 Create the trunk


On Switch_A, type the following commands at the Fast Ethernet 0/1
interface command prompt.

Switch_A(config)#interface fastethernet0/1
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Switch_A(config-if)#end

Step 9 Configure the router


a. Configure the router with the following data. Note that in order to
support trunking and inter-VLAN routing, the router must have a Fast
Ethernet interface.

Hostname is Router_A
Console, VTY, and enable passwords are cisco.
Enable secret password is class.
b. Then configure the Fast Ethernet interface using the following
commands:

router configuration commands.


Router_A(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0
Router_A(config-if)#no shutdown

Router_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/0.1


Router_A(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1q 1
Router_A(config-subif)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

Router_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/0.2


Router_A(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1q 10
Router_A(config-subif)#ip address 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0

Router_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/0.3


Router_A(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1q 20
Router_A(config-subif)#ip address 192.168.7.1 255.255.255.0

Router_A(config-subif)#end

Step 10 Save the router configuration

Step 11 Display the router routing table


a. Type show ip route at the Privileged EXEC mode prompt.
b. Are there entries in the routing table?
___________________________________________
c. What interface are they all pointing to?
__________________________________________
d. Why is there not a need to run a routing protocol?
__________________________________

Step 12 Test the VLANS and the trunk


Ping from the host in Switch_A port 0/9 to the host in port 0/5.
a. Was the ping successful?
___________________________________________________
b. Why?
________________________________________________________________
__
Ping from the host in Switch_A port 0/5 to the switch IP 192.168.1.2.
c. Was the ping successful?
___________________________________________________

Step 13 Move the hosts


a. Move the hosts to other VLANs and try pinging the management
VLAN 1.
b. Note the results of the pinging.

Once the steps are complete, logoff by typing exit, and turn all the
devices off. Then remove and
store the cables and adapter.

Erasing and Reloading the Switch


For the majority of the labs in CCNA 3 and CCNA 4 it is necessary to
start with an unconfigured
switch. Use of a switch with an existing configuration may produce
unpredictable results. These instructions allow preparation of the switch
prior to performing the lab so previous configuration options do not
interfere. The following is the procedure for clearing out previous
configurations and starting with an unconfigured switch.

2900 and 2950 Series Switches


1. Enter into the Privileged EXEC mode by typing enable.
Switch>enable
If prompted for a password, enter class, if that does not work, ask the
instructor.

2. Remove the VLAN database information file.


Switch#delete flash:vlan.dat
Delete filename [vlan.dat]?[Enter]
Delete flash:vlan.dat? [confirm] [Enter]
If there was no VLAN file, this message is displayed.
%Error deleting flash:vlan.dat (No such file or
directory)

3. Remove the switch startup configuration file from NVRAM.


Switch#erase startup-config
The responding line prompt will be:
Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files!
Continue? [confirm]
Press Enter to confirm.
The response should be:
Erase of nvram: complete

4. Check that VLAN information was deleted.


Verify that the VLAN configuration was deleted in Step 2 using the show
vlan command. If previous VLAN configuration information (other than
the default management VLAN 1) is still present it will be necessary to
power cycle the switch (hardware restart) instead of issuing the
reload command.

To power cycle the switch, remove the power cord from the back of the
switch or unplug it. Then plug it back in.
If the VLAN information was successfully deleted in Step 2, go to Step 5
and restart the switch using the reload command.

5. Software restart (using the reload command)
