Lab 4 Configuring VTP Transparent Mode

This lab exercise teaches how to configure Cisco switches in VTP Transparent mode. In Transparent mode, VLANs are not automatically propagated between switches but must be configured on each switch individually. The lab has students configure two switches in the same VTP domain in Transparent mode, trunk their connection, create VLANs on each switch, and assign ports to test connectivity across the VLANs.

Lab 4: Configuring VTP Transparent Mode

Lab Objective:

The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to configure VTP
Transparent mode on Cisco Catalyst switches. By default, all Cisco switches are VTP Server
devices.

Lab Purpose:

VTP Transparent mode configuration is a fundamental skill. VLANs configured on a switch in


VTP Transparent mode are not automatically propagated to other switches within the same
VTP domain as would be done by a VTP Server.  Switches configured in VTP Transparent
mode use a trunk to forward traffic for configured VLANs to other switches. As a Cisco
engineer, as well as in the Cisco CCNA exam, you will be expected to know how to configure
VTP Transparent mode.

Certification Level:

This lab is suitable for both CCENT and CCNA certification exam preparation

Lab Difficulty:

This lab has a difficulty rating of 5/10

Readiness Assessment:

When you are ready for your certification exam, you should complete this lab in no more
than 15 minutes

Lab Topology:

Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:


Task 1:

In preparation for VLAN configuration, configure a hostname on switches 1 and 2 and


routers 1 and 3 as illustrated in the topology.

Task 2:

Configure and verify Sw1 and Sw2 in VTP Transparent mode. Both switches should be in the
VTP domain named CISCO. Remember that switches must be in the same VTP domain to
share VLAN information via a trunk.

Task 3:

Configure and verify FastEthernet0/1 between Sw1 and Sw2 as an 802.1q trunk.

Task 4:

Configure and verify VLANs 2010 and 2030 on Sw1 with the names provided above. Assign
FastEthernet0/2 on Sw1 to VLAN 2010 as an access port. Configure and verify VLANs 2010
and 2040 on Sw2 with the names provided above. Assign FastEthernet0/2 on Sw2 to VLAN
2010 as an access port.

Task 5:

Configure R1 and R3 FastEthernet interfaces with the IP addresses 10.0.0.1/28 and


10.0.0.3/28 respectively. Test VLAN connectivity by pinging between R1 and R3.
