EXPERIMENT 9

IMPLEMENT BASIC CONNECTIVITY

Objectives
 Part 1: Perform a Basic Configuration on S1 and S2
 Part 2: Configure the PCs
 Part 3: Configure the Switch Management Interface

Background

In this activity, you will first create a basic switch configuration. Then, you will
implement basic connectivity by configuring IP addressing on switches and PCs. When
the IP addressing configuration is complete, you will use various show commands to
verify the configuration and use the ping command to verify basic connectivity between
devices.

Instructions

Part 1: Perform a Basic Configuration on S1 and S2


Complete the following steps on S1 and S2.

1. Configure S1 with a hostname.


a. Click S1 and then click the CLI tab.
b. Enter the correct command to configure the hostname as S1.

2. Configure the console and encrypted privileged EXEC mode passwords.


a. Use cisco for the console password.
b. Use class for the privileged EXEC mode password.

3. Verify the password configurations for S1.


Question:
How can you verify that both passwords were configured correctly?

show running-config is the command for verifying the password that we configured

4. Configure an MOTD banner.


Use an appropriate banner text to warn of unauthorized access. The following
text is an example:

Authorized access only. Violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

5. Save the configuration file to NVRAM.


Which command do you issue to accomplish this step?
copy running-config startup-config
6. Repeat Steps 1 to 5 for S2.

Part 3: Configure the Switch Management Interface


Configure S1 and S2 with an IP address.

1. Configure S1 with an IP address.


a. Switches can be used as plug-and-play devices. This means that they do not
need to be configured for them to work. Switches forward information from one
port to another based on MAC addresses.

Question:
If this is the case, why would we configure it with an IP address?
So that you can connect the switch remotely, you need an assign an IP address
to function it properly.

Use the following commands to configure S1 with an IP address.


S1# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
S1(config)# interface vlan 1
S1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.0
S1(config-if)# no shutdown
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan1, changed state to
up
S1(config-if)#
S1(config-if)# exit
S1#
Why do you enter the no shutdown command?
So that you can make an active state of the command that you’ve enter.

2. Configure S2 with an IP address.


Use the information in the Addressing Table to configure S2 with an IP address.

3. Verify the IP address configuration on S1 and S2.


Use the show ip interface brief command to display the IP address and status
of all the switch ports and interfaces. You can also use the show running-config
command.
4. Save configurations for S1 and S2 to NVRAM.

Question:
Which command is used to save the configuration file in RAM to NVRAM?
copy running-config startup-config
5. Verify network connectivity.
Network connectivity can be verified using the ping command. It is very important
that connectivity exists throughout the network. Corrective action must be taken if
there is a failure. Ping S1 and S2 from PC1 and PC2.
a. Click PC1 and then click the Desktop tab.
b. Click Command Prompt.
c. Ping the IP address for PC2.
d. Ping the IP address for S1.
e. Ping the IP address for S2.
Note: You can also use the ping command on the switch CLI and on PC2.
All pings should be successful. If your first ping result is 80%, try again. It should now
be 100%. You will learn why a ping may sometimes fail the first time later in your
studies. If you are unable to ping any of the devices, recheck your configuration for
errors.
