Lab - Implement Inter-VLAN Routing

Background / Scenario
The methods used to move packets and frames from one interface to the next has changed over the years. In this lab you will configure Inter-
VLAN Routing in its various forms and then examine the different tables used in making forwarding decisions.
Note: This lab is an exercise in configuring and verifying various methods of Inter-VLAN routing and does not reflect networking best practices.
Note: The routers and switches used with CCNP hands-on labs are Cisco 4221 and Cisco 3650, both with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4
(universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands
available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs.
Note: Ensure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure contact your instructor.

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.
Step 2: Configure basic settings for each device.

Open configuration window

a. Set the clock on each device to UTC time.

b. Save the running configuration to startup-config.
Close configuration window

Part 2: Configure and Verify Inter-VLAN Routing on a Layer 3 Switch

In Part 2, you will configure and verify inter-VLAN Routing on a Layer 3 switch. For this part, you will focus on the configuration
of switch D1 and router R1.
Note: The default Switch Database Manager (SDM) template on a Catalyst 3560 running IOS XE supports dual-stacked
operations and requires no additional configuration for our purposes.
If you are using an alternate device running Cisco IOS, check the SDM template with the privileged EXEC command show sdm
prefer and verify that the ‘number of IPv6 unicast routes’ supported is not zero.
If it is zero, you must change the SDM template to one that supports IPv6 using the sdm prefer template_name global
configuration command. The template name will vary depending on the IOS version. Changing the template will require a reboot.
Step 1: On D1, configure Inter-VLAN Routing.
Open configuration window

a. Configure D1 to support IP routing and IPv6 unicast routing.

D1(config)# ip routing
D1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
b. Create the VLANs and name them as specified in the topology.
D1(config)# vlan 50
D1(config-vlan)# name Group50
D1(config)# vlan 60
D1(config-vlan)# name Group60
D1(config-vlan)# exit

Lab - Implement Inter-VLAN Routing

c. Assign the F0/23 to VLAN 50 and F0/24 to VLAN 60

D1(config)# interface F0/23
D1(config-if)# switchport mode access
D1(config-if)# switchport access vlan 50
D1(config-if)# no shutdown
D1(config)# interface F0/24
D1(config-if)# switchport mode access
D1(config-if)# switchport access vlan 60
D1(config-if)# no shutdown
D1(config-if)# exit
d. Create the Switched Virtual Interfaces (SVI) that will support VLAN 50 and VLAN 60
D1(config)# interface vlan 50
D1(config-if)# ip address 10.2.50.1 255.255.255.0
D1(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::d1:2 link-local
D1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:1050::d1/64
D1(config-if)# no shutdown
D1(config)# interface vlan 60
D1(config-if)# ip address 10.2.60.1 255.255.255.0
D1(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::d1:3 link-local
D1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:1060::d1/64
D1(config-if)# no shutdown
D1(config-if)# exit
e. Configure PC1 with the addresses specified in the Addressing Table. Further assign default gateways of 10.2.50.1 and
2001:db8:acad:1050::d1.
f. Configure PC2 with the addresses specified in the Addressing Table. Further assign default gateways of 10.2.60.1 and
2001:db8:acad:1060::d1.
g. From PC1, ping PC2’s IPv4 and IPv6 address. Success indicates that D1 is performing Inter-VLAN Routing.
h. Examine the MAC address table on D1 with the command show mac address-table dynamic. You should see PC1
and PC2’s mac addresses listed with the ports they are connected to.
D1# show mac address-table dynamic
Mac Address Table
-------------------------------------------
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
---- ----------- -------- -----
50 0050.56b3.8137 DYNAMIC Gi1/0/23
60 0050.56b3.994b DYNAMIC Gi1/0/24
Total Mac Addresses for this criterion: 2

Step 2: On D1, configure a routed port and default routes towards R1

a. Configure interface G1/0/11 as a routed port with addressing as specified in the topology diagram.
D1(config)# interface F0/11
D1(config-if)# no switchport
D1(config-if)# ip address 10.1.13.13 255.255.255.0
D1(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::d1:1 link-local
D1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:10d1::d1/64
D1(config-if)# no shutdown
D1(config-if)# exit
b. Verify that interface F0/11 is no longer associated with the VLAN database by issuing the command show vlan brief |
i F0/11. There should be no output.
c. Configure static default routes for IPv4 and IPv6 that point towards the interface address at R1.
D1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.13.1

Lab - Implement Inter-VLAN Routing

D1(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:acad:10d1::1

You may see the error message %ADJ-3-RESOLVE_REQ: Adj resolve request: Failed to resolve 10.1.13.1. This
indicates that the switch sent an ARP for the MAC address of 10.1.13.1 and got no reply. We will configure that next.

Step 3: On R1, configure interface addressing and static routing.

Open configuration window

a. Configure R1 to support IPv6 unicast routing.

R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
b. Configure the interfaces on R1 with the addresses specified in the Addressing Table.
R1(config)# interface G0/1
R1(config-if)# ip address 10.1.13.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::1:1 link-local

R1(config-if)# ip address 10.1.3.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::1:2 link-local
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:1013::1/64
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
c. Configure routing on R1. Configure static routes to the networks supported by D1 and a default route for everything
else point at R3.
R1(config)# ip route 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.1.13.13
R1(config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:acad:1050::/64 2001:db8:acad:10d1::d1
R1(config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:acad:1060::/64 2001:db8:acad:10d1::d1
R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.3.3
R1(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:acad:1013::3
d. From R1, ping PC2 with IPv4 and IPv6. All pings should be successful.
Part 3: Configure and Verify Router-based Inter-VLAN Routing
Step 1: Configure D2 to support the required VLANs.
a. Create the VLANs and name them as specified in the topology. In addition, create vlan 999 and name it NativeVLAN.
Open configuration window

D2(config)# vlan 75
D2(config-vlan)# name Group75
D2(config)# vlan 85
D2(config-vlan)# name Group85
D2(config)# vlan 999
D2(config-vlan)# name NativeVLAN
D2(config-vlan)# exit
b. Assign the F0/23 to VLAN 75 and F0/24 to VLAN 85.
c. Create a Switched Virtual Interface that will operate within VLAN 75.
D2(config)# interface vlan75
D2(config-if)# ip address 10.3.75.14 255.255.255.0
D2(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::d2:1 link-local
D2(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:3075::d2/64
D2(config-if)# no shutdown
D2(config-if)# exit
d. Create an IEEE 802.1Q-based trunk to R3. As a part of the configuration of the trunk, set the native VLAN to VLAN
999 and filter the VLANs allowed on the trunk down to only those that are configured.

Part 4: Examine CAM and CEF Details

In Part 4, you will examine CEF details on the devices you have configured. The objective of Cisco Express Forwarding is to speed up the
process of moving data from one interface to another. To do this, as much data as possible is precompiled into two tables, the Forwarding
Information Base (FIB) and the Adjacency Table. These are basically shortcuts that identify what interface a packet should be sent out of and
how it should be framed.
a. Issue the command show ip cef to see the compiled CEF table, which tells the device what to do with a frame or
packet based on its destination address. This table gives the device a quick answer and keeps the CPU from getting
directly involved. For example, packets destined to the 10.2.0.0/16 network are quickly resolved to the next-hop address
of 10.1.13.13 exiting interface g0/1.
Open configuration window
