Scenario
As a junior network administrator, you and your team were tasked with planning
and configuring a corporate network for a new bank branch in Miami. It is your
duty to set up the network correctly and implement basic security settings on all
systems.
Note: The correct hostnames are already set on all devices.

Physical Topology

Page 5
Lab Task 1: Design an IP Address Scheme
Devise a network topology plan for the number of subnets you will need and
where you want to assign the IPv4 addresses within each subnet.

1 Divide the 172.16.10.0/24 network into eight subnets. Fill out the
Addressing Table below:
Table 1:Addressing Table

Subnet Network Usable Host Broadcast

Number Address Address Range Address

2 What is the value of the new subnet mask?

3 How many usable host addresses exist per subnet?

Page 6
Lab Task 2: Implement VLANs and Trunk
Configure VLANs and set trunks on the appropriate network and its associated
devices.
Note: Perform steps 1–4 on S1-Office1 and S2-Office1.

1 Create and name VLANs as follows:

• VLAN 10: Management
• VLAN 20: Marketing
• VLAN 30: Accounting
• VLAN 100: Native
2 On S1-Office1 and S2Office1, configure the interfaces as access mode and
assign VLANs as follows:
• VLAN 10: FastEthernet0/1-10
• VLAN 20: FastEthernet0/11-20
• VLAN 30: FastEthernet0/21-24
3 Configure the S1-Office1 to S2-Office1 interconnecting link as trunk on
both.
Note: To simplify the identification of the ports, click Options…, click
Preferences…, and select Always Show Port Labels in Logical Workspace.

Lab Task 3: Assign IP Addresses
Using the table, you made in Task 1, assign subnets addresses to the topology.
Note: Make sure to document the assignment of the IP addresses in a separate
file to keep track of them.

1 Assign the first usable IP address and appropriate subnet mask of subnet 1
to the R3 interface connected to the Office3 network.
2 Assign the first usable IP address and appropriate subnet mask of subnet 2
to the R3 interface connected to the Office2 network.
3 Assign the first and second usable IP address and appropriate subnet mask
of subnet 3 to the R1 <-> R2 WAN link.
4 Assign the first and second usable IP address and appropriate subnet mask
of subnet 4 to the R1 <-> R3 WAN link.
5 Assign the first and second usable IP address and appropriate subnet mask
of subnet 5 to the R2 <-> R3 WAN link.
6 Assign the last usable addresses of subnet 6 to the Office1 network CEO
end devices. Also, assign a subnet mask and the default gateway (first
address in the subnet).
Note: Layer 3 connectivity with VLANs requires a router-on-a-stick setup.
7 Assign the last usable addresses of subnet 7 to the Office1 network
Copyrighter end devices. Also, assign a subnet mask and the default
gateway (first address in the subnet).
8 Assign the last usable addresses of subnet 8 to the Office1 network Dialer
end devices. Also, assign a subnet mask and the default gateway (first
address in the subnet).
9 Assign the last useable IP addresses of subnet 2 (Office2) and subnet 1
(Office3) to the endpoints for each office network or VLAN. Also, assign the
default gateway (first address in the subnet).

Page 10
Lab Task 4: Configure R1 for Inter-VLAN Routing
Configure the router on the Office1 network to allow multiple VLANs to
communicate on the network.
Perform steps 1–4 on R1.

1 Enable GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface.

2 Create the following three sub-interfaces on GigabitEthernet 0/0:
Sub-interface 10, 20, and 30.
3 Set the correct encapsulation type and VLAN ID for each sub-interface.
Sub-interface 10 will route for VLAN 10, sub-interface 20 will route for
VLAN 20, and sub-interface 30 will route for VLAN 30.
4 Using the following Sub-Interface Addressing Table, configure the
appropriate IP address and subnet mask (using the first usable IP address
of each subnet) for each sub-interface. Refer to table you made in Task 1
for subnet IDs.
Table 2:Sub-interface Addressing Table

Sub-Interface # Subnet ID/VLAN #

Sub-interface 10 Subnet 6 (VLAN 10)
Sub-interface 20 Subnet 7 (VLAN 20)
Sub-interface 30 Subnet 8 (VLAN 30)
5 Check the settings on the router using the appropriate show command.
6 On S1-Office1, set both GigabitEthernet interfaces as trunk with
appropriate native VLAN. On S2-Office1, set only GigabitEthernet 0/1
interface as trunk with appropriate native VLAN.
7 Verify this part of the configuration using the appropriate show commands
and save the configuration.
8 Test the inter-VLAN routing by pinging Copyrighter1 and Dialer1 from the
CEO1 PC.

Lab Task 5: Secure Switch Physical Ports
Configure all switches on the network to work with port security.
Perform steps 1–4 on the S1-Office1 and S2-Office1 switches.

1 Enable port security (only on ports connected to end devices).

Note: Implement port security only on access ports connected to end
devices (never on trunk ports).
Set the violation mode to restrict.
2 Secure authorized MAC addresses using sticky learning.
3 Verify the port security configuration using the appropriate show
commands.

4 Disable all remaining unused ports and save the configuration.

Page 12
Lab Task 6: Configure OSPF
Configure all routers on the network with OSPF to enable all subnets to
communicate.
Perform all steps on R1, R2, and R3.

1 Turn on the connected serial interfaces on each router using the no

shutdown command.
2 Turn on the connected gigabit interfaces on R3 using the no shutdown
command.
3 Configure the following for OSPF on each router:
• Process ID: 1
• Network IP for each network
• Router ID: R1-1.1.1.1 | R2 - 2.2.2.2 | R3 - 3.3.3.3
• Area 0
4 Set interfaces connected to a LAN to passive.
5 Verify the OSPF configuration on R1 using the appropriate show
commands and save the configuration.

Page 13
Lab Task 7: Extended ACL
Configure ACLs to prevent guests on the network from connecting to the
NTP/Syslog server.
Perform steps 1–3 on R3.

1 Configure a numbered extended ACL with the following parameters:

• Traffic from the guest PC to the NTP/Syslog server is not permitted.
• All other network traffic is permitted.
• Apply an ACL on the correct interface and traffic direction.
2 Verify ACL configuration with a show command.
Note: The IP addresses may vary depending on those assigned.

3 From the guest's PC, test the ACL by pinging the NTP server and email
server.

Page 14
Lab Task 8: Initial and Security Settings for Network
Devices
Configure all network devices with basic security settings to prevent unauthorized
access.
Perform steps 1–5 on all routers and switches.

1 Configure console line to use local username Admin and password

ACDC1973 for access.
2 Secure privileged mode access with the password beatles1960.
3 Encrypt all passwords on the device.
4 Configure the following security message (hint: MOTD Banner): Only
authorized personnel are allowed accessing this device!
5 Save all running configurations to NVRAM.

Page 15
Lab Task 9: Secure Remote Access
Configure SSHv2 services on all routers to allow for remote administration.
Perform steps 1–4 on R1, R2, and R3.

1 Set the IP domain name to Cyber.local.

2 Generate secure keys (minimum key length is 1024 bits).
3 Set SSH version 2.
4 Configure VTY lines to check for local login credentials and allow only
incoming SSH sessions.
5 Verify this part of the configuration using the appropriate show commands
and save the configuration.
6 Configure the correct default gateway on the admin PC and try to log in to
the routers from the admin PC using SSH.
Run the command ssh -l <username> <target-ip>
7 Go to the Command Prompt in the admin PC and try to ping CEO1 and
Employee1.
8 Go to the Command Prompt in Employee2's PC and try to ping
Copyrighter1 and Dialer1. The results should be successful. If a connectivity
test fails, perform troubleshooting.
Note: If this is your first time pinging the Dialer1 or Copyrighter1 PC from
Employee 2's PC, the first ping may fail since the ARP tables are not
populated. The first ping will aid in populating the ARP tables in the
network devices, and future pings should then work.
