Objectives

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

Part 2: Create VLANs and Assign Switch Ports
Part 3: Maintain VLAN Port Assignments and the VLAN Database
Part 4: Configure an 802.1Q Trunk Between the Switches

Background / Scenario
Modern switches use virtual local-area networks (VLANs) to improve
network performance by separating large Layer 2 broadcast domains
into smaller ones. VLANs can also be used as a security measure by
controlling which hosts can communicate. In general, VLANs make it
easier to design a network to support the goals of an organization.
 VLAN trunks are used to span VLANs across multiple devices. Trunks
allow the traffic from multiple VLANS to travel over a single link, while
keeping the VLAN identification and segmentation intact.
In this Packet Tracer Physical Mode (PTPM) activity, you will create
VLANs on both switches in the topology, assign VLANs to switch
access ports, and verify that VLANs are working as expected. You will
then create a VLAN trunk between the two switches to allow hosts in
the same VLAN to communicate through the trunk, regardless of
which switch to which the host is attached.

Instructions

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device

Settings
In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic
settings on the PC hosts and switches.

Step 1: Build the network as shown in the topology.

Attach the devices as shown in the topology diagram, and cable as
necessary.
a. Click and drag both switch S1 and S2 to the Rack.
Note: This activity will open with 37% completion because the
switch ports are all shutdown. When you install the switches in
the rack, the ports will automatically be activated. After about a
minute, the score will drop to 1%. Later in the activity, you will
shut down unused ports.
b. Click and drag both PC-A and PC-B to the Table and use the power
button to turn them on.
c. Provide network connectivity by connecting Copper Straight-through
cables, as shown in the topology.
d. Connect Console Cable from device PC-A to S1 and from device PC-B
to S2.

Step 2: Configure basic settings for each switch.

a. From the Desktop Tab on each PC, use the Terminal to console into
each switch and enable privileged EXEC mode.
 b. Enter configuration mode.
c. Assign a device name to each switch.
d. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password.
e. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login.
f. Assign cisco as the vty password and enable login.
g. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.
h. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that
unauthorized access is prohibited.
i. Configure the IP address listed in the Addressing Table for VLAN 1 on
the switch.

Note: The VLAN 1 address is not grade because you will remove it
later in the activity. However, you will need VLAN 1 to test
connectivity later in this Part.
j. Shut down all interfaces that will not be used.
k. Set the clock on each switch.
Note: The clock setting cannot be graded in Packet Tracer.
l. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.

Step 3: Configure PC hosts.

 From the Desktop tab on each PC, click IP Configuration and enter the
addressing information as displayed in the Addressing Table.

Step 4: Test connectivity.

Test network connectivity by attempting to ping

between each of the cabled devices.

Part 2: Create VLANs and Assign Switch Ports

In Part 2, you will create Management, Operations, Parking_Lot, and
Native VLANs on both switches. You will then assign the VLANs to the
appropriate interface. The show vlan command is used to verify your
configuration settings.

Step 1: Create VLANs on the switches.

From the Desktop Tab on each PC, use Terminal to continue configuring
both network switches.
a. Create the VLANs on S1.
S1(config)# vlan 10
S1(config-vlan)#
name Operations
S1(config-vlan)#
vlan 20 S1(config-
vlan)# name
Parking_Lot
S1(config-vlan)#
vlan 99 S1(config-
vlan)# name
Management
S1(config-vlan)#
vlan 1000
S1(config-vlan)#
name Native
S1(config-vlan)#
end

b. Create the same VLANs on S2.

 c. Issue the show vlan brief command to view the list of VLANs on S1.
S1# show vlan brief

Step 2: Assign VLANs to the correct switch interfaces.

a. Assign VLANs to the interfaces on S1.
1) Assign PC-A to the Operation VLAN.
S1(config)# interface f0/6
S1(config-if)# switchport mode access
 S1(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10
2) From VLAN 1, remove the management IP address and
configure it on VLAN 99.
S1(config)#
interface vlan 1
S1(config-if)# no
ip address
S1(config-if)#
interface vlan 99

S1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.0

S1(config-if)# end
b. Issue the show vlan brief command and verify that the VLANs are
assigned to the correct interfaces.
c. Issue the show ip

interface brief

command

d. Assign PC-B to the Operations VLAN on S2.

e. From VLAN 1, remove the management IP address and
configure it on VLAN 99 according to the Addressing
Table .
f. Use the show vlan brief command to verify that the VLANs

are assigned to the correct interfaces.

Part 3: Maintain VLAN Port Assignments and the VLAN Database
In Part 3, you will change port VLAN assignments and remove VLANs
from the VLAN database.

Step 1: Assign a VLAN to multiple interfaces.

From the Desktop Tab on each PC, use Terminal to continue configuring both
network switches.

a. On S1, assign interfaces F0/11 – 24 to VLAN99.

S1(config)# interface range f0/11-24
S1(config-if-range)#
switchport mode access
S1(config-if-range)#
switchport access vlan 99
S1(config-if-range)# end

b. Issue the show vlan brief command to verify VLAN assignments.

 c. Reassign F0/11 and F0/21 to VLAN 10.
d. Verify that VLAN assignments are correct.

Step 2: Remove a VLAN assignment from an interface.

a. Use the no switchport access vlan command to remove the VLAN 99
assignment to F0/24.
S1(config)# interface f0/24
S1(config-if)# no switchport access vlan
S1(config-if)# end
b. Verify that the VLAN

change was made.

Step 3: Remove a VLAN ID from the VLAN database.

a. Add VLAN 30 to interface F0/24 without issuing the global VLAN
command.
S1(config)# interface f0/24
S1(config-if)# switchport access vlan 30
% Access VLAN does not exist. Creating vlan 30
Note: Current switch technology no longer requires that the vlan
command be issued to add a VLAN to the database. By assigning an
unknown VLAN to a port, the VLAN will be created and added to the
VLAN database.
b. Verify that the new VLAN is

displayed in the VLAN table.

What is the default name of

VLAN 30?

c. Use the no vlan 30 command to remove VLAN 30 from the VLAN

database.
S1(config)# no vlan 30
S1(config)# end
 d. Issue the show vlan brief command. F0/24 was assigned to VLAN 30.

e. On interface F0/24, issue the no switchport access vlan command.

f. Issue the show vlan brief command to determine

the VLAN assignment for F0/24.

Note: Before removing a VLAN from the database, it is recommended

that you reassign all the ports assigned to that VLAN.

Part 4: Configure an 802.1Q Trunk Between the Switches

In Part 4, you will configure interface F0/1 to use the Dynamic Trunking
Protocol (DTP) to allow it to negotiate the trunk mode. After this has
been accomplished and verified, you will disable DTP on interface F0/1
and manually configure it as a trunk.

Step 1: Use DTP to initiate trunking on F0/1.

The default DTP mode of a 2960 switch port is dynamic auto. This
allows the interface to convert the link to a trunk if the neighboring
interface is set to trunk or dynamic desirable mode.
a. On S1, set F0/1 to negotiate trunk mode.
S1(config)# interface f0/1
S1(config-if)# switchport mode dynamic desirable

on Interface FastEthernet0/1, changed state to up
Sep 19 02:51:47.291: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol
on Interface Vlan99, changed state to up
You should also receive link status messages on S2.
S2#
Sep 19 02:42:19.424: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface

Sep 19 02:42:21.454: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol
on Interface Vlan99, changed state to up
Sep 19 02:42:22.419: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol
on Interface FastEthernet0/1, changed state to up
b. On S1 and S2, issue the show vlan brief command. Interface F0/1
is no longer assigned to VLAN 1. Trunked interfaces are not
listed in the VLAN table.
c. Issue the show interfaces trunk command to view trunked
interfaces. Notice that the mode on S1 is set to desirable, and the
mode on S2 is set to auto.
S1# show interfaces trunk

S2# show interfaces trunk

Note: By default, all VLANs are allowed on a trunk. The switchport
trunk command allows you to control what VLANs have access to
the trunk. For this activity, keep the default settings. This allows all
VLANs to traverse F0/1.
d. Verify that VLAN traffic is

traveling over trunk interface

F0/1.

Step 2: Manually configure trunk interface F0/1.

The switchport mode trunk command is used to manually configure a
port as a trunk. This command should be issued on both ends of the
link.
a. On interface F0/1, change the switchport mode to force trunking.
 Make sure to do this on both switches.
S1(config)# interface f0/1
S1(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
b. Issue the show interfaces trunk command to view the trunk mode.
Notice that the mode changed from
desirable to on.
S1# show interfaces trunk
c. Modify the trunk configuration on both switches by changing
the native VLAN from VLAN 1 to VLAN 1000.
S1(config)# interface f0/1
S1(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 1000
d. Issue the show interfaces trunk command to view the trunk.
Notice the Native VLAN information is updated.
S2# show interfaces trunk
