BCMSN LAB 4

VTP Configuration

Lab 4: VTP Configuration

Objective
Assign a VTP domain, and verify VLANs and VTP domain configuration.

Lab Topology
For this lab, your network design will include two pods of devices. You will be responsible for
configuring the devices in both pods. The devices on the left side of the topology are in Pod 1.
The devices on the right side of the topology are in Pod 2. P1PC1 and P2PC2 are PC workstations.
P1ASW1 and P2ASW2 are access-layer switches. P1DSW1 and P2DSW2 are distribution-layer
switches. The access and distribution layers are two of the three layers in the Cisco three-layer
hierarchical network model, which also includes the core layer.
The Topology diagram below represents the NetMap in the Simulator. To access each of the
devices from within the Simulator, select the device name from the appropriate menu in the
Simulator. For example, to access P1ASW1, click the eSwitches button and select P1ASW1 from
the drop-down menu.

Command Summary
Command Description
vlan vlan_id creates a VLAN
name vlan_name names a VLAN
show vlan shows VLAN information
shutdown disables an interface
no shutdown enables an interface
vtp mode [client | server | transparent] sets VTP mode
show vtp status displays VTP configuration
switchport access vlan vlan_id assigns the default VLAN for a port
switchport mode access assigns an access port
switchport mode trunk assigns a trunk port
switchport nonegotiate disables VTP
switchport trunk allowed vlan remove vlan_list removes VLANs from a trunk port
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q configures trunk for 802.1Q encapsulation
switchport trunk encapsulation isl configures trunk for ISL encapsulation
switchport trunk allowed vlan allows VLANs to be carried by trunk; 1, 1002-1005 required
vlan database enters VLAN database configuration mode
vtp domain domain_name assigns the domain name for VTP
vtp mode [client | server | transparent ] configures the VTP mode
show interfaces interface_id switchport shows the switchport configuration
ping ip_address sends an ICMP echo request

Lab Tasks
In this lab, you will assign the PC routers to their own VLAN and learn how to provide reachability
between devices across a switched LAN. This lab continues from BCMSN Lab 3: Trunking. For your
convenience, the required initial configurations will be loaded into all devices at the start of the lab.
1. Configure the ASWs and DSWs to be VTP clients.
2. Verify that the ASWs are VTP clients. Use the show vtp status command.
3. Attempt to create a new VLAN using 10 plus the number of the PC router. For example,
create VLAN 11 for P1PC1 and VLAN 12 for P2PC2. Were you successful? Why not?
______________________________________________________________
4. Configure the ASWs to be VTP transparent.
5. Verify that the ASWs are VTP transparent.
6. Try again to create VLAN 11 for P1PC1 and VLAN 12 for P2PC2.
7. Verify that the VLANs exist. Use the show vlan command on the ASWs.

VTP Configuration

8. Assign the ports that connect the ASWs to the PC routers to their respective VLANs.
9. On the ASWs, shut down interface VLAN 99.
10. Create new VLAN interfaces on the ASWs for the new VLANs of the PC routers. Assign
an IP address of 172.16.x.y, where x is the VLAN number and y is the ASW number.
For example, the IP address for the VLAN 11 interface on P1ASW1 will be 172.16.11.1
255.255.0.0. Enable the new interfaces.
11. Verify that the PC routers can ping the new VLAN interfaces.
12. Configure all of the trunk ports on the ASWs and DSWs to carry all VLANs.
13. Verify that the trunks allow all VLANs. Use the show interfaces interface_id
switchport command.
14. Check to see whether the DSWs have learned the new VLANs. Have they? Why not?
_____________________________________________________________
15. Assign a VTP domain name of cisco to the ASWs and DSWs.
16. Configure the ASWs as the VTP servers.
17. Verify that the ASWs are servers in the cisco domain. Use the show vtp status command.
18. Verify that the DSWs now know the new VLANs.
