Network Deepdive Module2 Topic1-2 VLANS

The GNS3 Laboratory Manual provides instructions for configuring and verifying VLANs and interswitch connectivity across multiple switches. It outlines activities such as creating a network topology, configuring VLANs, assigning switch ports, and setting up trunk ports, along with verification steps for each configuration. The manual also includes prerequisites and detailed commands for successful implementation using Cisco Packet Tracer.

GNS3 LABORATORY MANUAL

ICI Network Capability

Module 2 Topics 1 and 2:

Configure and verify VLANs (normal


range) spanning multiple switches

Configure and verify interswitch


connectivity
ICI Network Capability – Laboratory Manual
Activity#1: Getting Started with Command Line - Interface

Topology Diagram:

Objective:
 Turn up a network according to the topology diagram
 Perform basic configuration task on the switches
 Create VLANs and assign to switchports
 Verify VLAN configuration
 Configure trunk ports
 Verify trunk configuration

Requirements/Pre-requisites:
 Cisco Packet Tracer
 Network_Deepdive_Topic1&2.pkt file

Activity Steps:
1. Creating the Topology
a. Open Cisco Packet Tracer and locate the file Network_Deepdive_Topic1&2.pkt. Once
opened, the network devices will be waiting for you. Connect cables according to the
topology diagram.
b. Without changing any configuration on the Cisco switches, open PC1 GUI and
navigate to Desktop / Command Prompt. Ping PC2, PC3, PC4 and PC5 IP addresses.
i. Is any of the ping attempts successful? _______________________________

2. Preparing the network


a. Configure the switch hostname.

3. VLAN configuration
a. Configure VLAN 10 and 20 on both switches by using the vlan vlan-id command. Upon
creation of VLAN, you will be in VLAN configuration mode where you can assign a
descriptive name for that VLAN using name vlan-name command.

Switch(config)#vlan 10
Switch(config-vlan)#name VLAN10LAB

b. Verify that the VLANs are already created by using the command show vlan brief.

Switch#show vlan brief

VLAN Name Status Ports


---- ---------------------- --------- ------------------------------
1 default active Gi0/0, Gi0/1, Gi0/2, Gi0/3
Gi1/0, Gi1/1, Gi1/2, Gi1/3
Gi2/0, Gi2/1, Gi2/2, Gi2/3
Gi3/0, Gi3/1, Gi3/2, Gi3/3
10 VLAN0010 active
20 VLAN0020 active

i. What ports are currently assigned to the VLANs that you created?
(1) SW1 __________________
(2) SW2 __________________

c. Assign switch ports to VLANs. Refer to the Topology diagram to see the port
assignments for the end devices. You can assign VLAN to a specific port going to
interface configuration, and using the switchport access vlan vlan-id command.

Switch(config)#interface FastEthernet0/2
Switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10

d. Verify that the interfaces are assigned to the correct VLAN by using the command
show vlan id vlan-id.

Switch#show vlan id 10

VLAN Name Status Ports


---- -------------------------------- --------- ------------------------
10 VLAN0010 active Gi0/0

i. Which ports are assigned to VLAN 10? ____________________________

e. Verify that the PCs can communicate with each other by doing a ping test from PC1
and PC2. Answer the questions below based on your observation.
ICI Network Capability – Laboratory Manual
Activity#1: Getting Started with Command Line - Interface

i. Ping from host PC1 to PC2. Is this ping attempt successful? ______________
ii. Ping from host PC1 to PC4. Is this ping attempt successful? ______________
iii. Explain briefly the result scenarios above. _____________________________
iv. Will changing the switch port of PC1 from VLAN 10 to VLAN 20 produce a
successful ping attempt? Explain. ___________________________________
v. Ping from host PC1 to PC3 which is across SW2. Is this ping attempt
successful? Explain. _____________________________________________

4. Trunk configuration
a. Configure the switch-to-switch connection as trunk port. Trunk port is necessary for
this topology so that the VLANs can span and frames can flow from one switch to
another. Trunk ports belong to all VLANs by default, as opposed to an access port
which only belong to a single VLAN.

There are two standards used to support VLAN on Ethernet networks – 802.1Q
(commonly known dot1q) and ISL. Modern switches only support dot1q since ISL is
no longer used but for switches that support both technologies you have to explicitly
configure which standard to use.

Switch(config)#interface FastEthernet0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Switch(config-if)#switchport mode trunk

b. Verify that the trunk ports are configured with the command show interfaces trunk
command.

Switch#show int trunk

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan


Gi0/0 on 802.1q trunking 1

Port Vlans allowed on trunk


Gi0/0 1-4094

Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain


Gi0/0 1,10,20

Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned


Gi0/0 1,10,20

c. Verify that the PCs can now communicate across the inter-switch link. Answer the
questions below based on your observation.
i. Ping from PC1 to PC3. Is this ping attempt successful? ________________
ii. Ping from PC3 to PC4. Is this ping attempt successful? ________________
iii. Ping from PC4 to PC5. Is this ping attempt successful? ________________
iv. What can be done to fix the failed ping attempt on given scenario above?
