Topology:

Objectives
Part 1: Set Up the Topology and Initialize Devices
Part 2: Configure Devices and Verify Connectivity
Part 3: Display Device Information

Background / Scenario
This is a comprehensive lab to review previously covered IOS commands. In
this lab, you will cable the equipment as shown in the topology diagram. You
will then configure the devices to match the addressing table. After the
configurations have been saved, you will verify your configurations by testing
for network connectivity.
Instructions
Part 1: Set Up Topology and Initialize Devices
Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.
a. Attach the devices shown in the topology diagram, and cable, as necessary.
b. Power on all the devices in the topology
Add a PC-A, Hub (PT-HUB) Switch (2960), Router 1941 and PC-B to the
workspace.
add the physical cabling between devices on the workspace as shown in the
topology diagram. The PC-A will need a copper straight-through cable to
connect to the Hub. Select the copper straight-through cable in the Device-
Selection box and attach it to the FastEthernet0 interface of the PC and the
FastEthernet0 interface of the Hub.
The Hub will need a copper straight-through cable to connect to the Switch
select the copper straight-through cable in the Device-Selection box and attach
it to the FastEthernet 1 interface of the Hub and the FastEthernet 0/6 interface
of the Switch.
The Switch will need a copper straight-through cable to connect to the
Router 1941 select the copper straight-through cable in the Device-Selection
box and attach it to the GigabitEthernet 0/1 interface of the Router and the
FastEthernet 0/5 interface of the Switch
The Router1941 will need a copper straight-through cable to connect to the
PC-B select the copper straight-through cable in the Device-Selection box and
attach it to the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface of the Router and the
FastEthernet0 interface of the PC-B.

Part 2: Configure Devices and Verify Connectivity

In Part 2, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings,
such as the interface IP addresses, device access, and passwords .

Step 1: Assign static IP information to the PC interfaces.

Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings on PC-A.
Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings on PC-B.
Ping PC-B from a command prompt window on PC-A.
Question: Why were the pings not successful?
The router interfaces (default gateways) have not been configured yet so Layer
3 traffic is not being routed between subnets.

Step 2: Configure the router.

a. Console into the router and enable privileged EXEC mode. Open
configuration window: Router> enable
b. Enter configuration mode:
Router# config terminal
c. Assign a device name to the router:
Router(config)# hostname R1
d. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate
incorrectly entered commands as though they were host names:
R1(config)# no ip domain lookup
e. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password:
R1(config)#enable secret class
f. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login:
R1(config)# line console 0
R1(config-line)# password cisco
R1(config-line)# login
R1(config-line)#exit
g. Assign cisco as the VTY password and enable login:
R1(config)# line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)# password cisco
R1(config-line)# login
R1(config-line)#exit
h. Encrypt the plaintext passwords:
R1(config)# service password-encryption
i. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized
access is prohibited:
R1(config)# banner motd $ Authorized Users Only! $
j. Configure and activate both interfaces on the router:
R1(config)# interface g 0/0
R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad::1/64
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address FE80::1 link-local
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# exit
R1(config)# interface g0/1
R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:1::1/64
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::1 link-local
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# exit
k. Configure an interface description for each interface indicating which device
is connected to it:
R1(config)# interface g 0/1
R1(config-if)# description Connected to F0/5 on S1
R1(config-if)# exit
R1(config)# interface g 0/0
R1(config-if)# description Connected to Host PC-B
R1(config-if)# exit
l. To enable IPv6 routing, enter the command ipv6 unicast-routing:
R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
m. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file:
R1(config)# exit
R1# copy running-config startup-config

Ping PC-B from a command prompt window on PC-A. Question: Were the
pings successful? Yes. The router is routing the ping traffic across the two
subnets. The default settings for the 2960 switch will automatically turn up the
interfaces that are connected to devices.

Step 3: Configure the switch

In this step, you will configure the hostname, the VLAN 1 interface and its
default gateway. Open configuration window
a. Console into the switch and enable privileged EXEC mode:
Switch> enable
b. Enter configuration mode:
Switch# config terminal
c. Assign a device name to the switch:
Switch(config)# hostname S1
d. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate
incorrectly entered commands as though they were host names:
S1(config)# no ip domain-lookup
e. Display information about MAC address table:
S1>en
S1#show mac-address-table
f. Configure and activate the VLAN interface on the switch S1:
S1(config)# interface vlan 1
S1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
S1(config-if)# no shutdown
S1(config-if)# exit
g. Configure the default gateway for the switch S1:
S1(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.1.1
S1(config-if)# exit
h. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file .
Step 4: Verify connectivity end-to-end connectivity.
a. From PC-A, ping PC-B.
b. From S1, ping PC-B. All the pings should be successful.

Part 3: Display Device Information

In Part 3, you will use show commands to retrieve interface and routing
information from the router and switch.
Step 1: Display the routing table on the router.
a. Use the show ip route command on the router R1 to answer the following
questions. Open configuration window:
R1# show ip route

Step 3: Display a summary list of the interfaces on the router and switch.
There are several commands that can be used to verify an interface
configuration. One of the most useful of these is the show ip interface brief
command. The command output displays a summary list of the interfaces on
the device and provides immediate feedback to the status of each interface.
a. Enter the show ip interface brief command on the router R1:

R1# show ip interface brief

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol

GigabitEthernet0/1 192.168.1.1 YES manual up
Vlan1 unassigned YES unset administratively down

command.
on R1:
