Introducing Routing and Switching in the Enterprise
Background / Preparation
This lab focuses on the basic VLAN configuration of the Cisco 2960 switch (or similar) using Cisco IOS
commands. The information in this lab applies to other switches; however, command syntax may vary.
Depending upon the switch model, the interface designations may differ. For example, modular switches have
multiple slots; therefore, the Fast Ethernet ports may be FastEthernet 0/1 or FastEthernet 1/1, depending on
the slot and port. The router used can be any router.
The following resources are required:
• One Cisco 2960 switch or equivalent switch
• One Cisco 1841 router or equivalent
• Two Windows-based PCs with a terminal emulation program
• At least one RJ-45-to-DB-9 connector console cable to configure the switch and the router
• Three straight-through Ethernet cables to connect from the PCs to Switch 1
NOTE: Make sure that the router and all the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations.
For detailed instructions, refer to the Lab Manual that is located on Academy Connection in the Tools section.
NOTE: SDM Routers – If the startup-config is erased in an SDM router, SDM will no longer come up by
default when the router is restarted. It will be necessary to build a basic router configuration using IOS
commands. Contact your instructor if necessary.
