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
Part 5: Delete the VLAN Database
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 lab, you will create VLANs on both switches in the topology, assign VLANs to switch access ports, verify that VLANs are working as expected, and 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 the host is actually attached to.
Note: The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs.
Note: Ensure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure contact your instructor.
Required Resources
·         2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
·         3 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
·         Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
·         Ethernet cables as shown in the topology
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:     Cable the network as shown in the topology.
Attach the devices as shown in the topology diagram, and cable as necessary.
Step 2:     Initialize and reload the switches as necessary.
Step 3:     Configure basic settings for each switch.
a.     Disable DNS lookup.
b.    Configure device name as shown in the topology.
c.     Assign class as the privileged EXEC password.
d.    Assign cisco as the console and vty passwords and enable login for console and vty lines.
e.     Configure logging synchronous for the console line.
f.     Configure a MOTD banner to warn users that unauthorized access is prohibited.
g.    Configure the IP address listed in the Addressing Table for VLAN 1 on both switches.
h.     Administratively deactivate all unused ports on the switch.
i.      Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.
Step 4:     Configure PC hosts.
Refer to the Addressing Table for PC host address information.
Step 5:     Test connectivity.
Verify that the PC hosts can ping one another.
Note: It may be necessary to disable the PCs firewall to ping between PCs.

Part 2:     Create VLANs and Assign Switch Ports
In Part 2, you will create student, faculty, and management 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.
a.     Create the VLANs on S1.
S1(config)# vlan 10
S1(config-vlan)# name Student
S1(config-vlan)# vlan 20
S1(config-vlan)# name Faculty
S1(config-vlan)# vlan 99
S1(config-vlan)# name Management
S1(config-vlan)# end
b.    Create the same VLANs on S2.
c.     Issue the show vlan command to view the list of VLANs on S1.
S1# show vlan

Part 3:     Maintain VLAN Port Assignments and the VLAN Database
In Part 3, you will change VLAN assignments to ports and remove VLANs from the VLAN database.
Step 1:     Assign a VLAN to multiple interfaces.
a.     On S1, assign interfaces F0/11 – 24 to VLAN 10.
S1(config)# interface range f0/11-24
S1(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
S1(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
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 20.
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 10 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.
Which VLAN is F0/24 is now associated with?
Step 3:     Remove a VLAN ID from the VLAN database.
a.     Add VLAN 30 to interface F0/24 without issuing the 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 adds to the VLAN database.
b.    Verify that the new VLAN is displayed in the VLAN table.
S1# show vlan brief

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.
After deleting VLAN 30, what VLAN is port F0/24 assigned to? What happens to the traffic destined to the host attached to F0/24?

e.     Issue the no switchport access vlan command on interface F0/24.
f.     Issue the show vlan brief command to determine the VLAN assignment for F0/24. To which VLAN is F0/24 assigned?
____________________________________________________________________________________
Note: Before removing a VLAN from the database, it is recommended that you reassign all the ports assigned to that VLAN.
Why should you reassign a port to another VLAN before removing the VLAN from the VLAN database?

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.     Set F0/1 on S1 to negotiate trunk mode.
S1(config)# interface f0/1
S1(config-if)# switchport mode dynamic desirable
*Mar  1 05:07:28.746: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan1, changed state to down
*Mar  1 05:07:29.744: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/1, changed state to down
S1(config-if)#
*Mar  1 05:07:32.772: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/1, changed state to up
S1(config-if)#
*Mar  1 05:08:01.789: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan99, changed state to up
*Mar  1 05:08:01.797: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan1, changed state to up
You should also receive link status messages on S2.
S2#
*Mar  1 05:07:29.794: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/1, changed state to down

*Mar  1 05:08:01.850: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan1, changed state to up
b.    Issue the show vlan brief command on S1 and S2. Interface F0/1 is no longer assigned to VLAN 1. Trunked interfaces are not listed in the VLAN table.
S1# show vlan brief

1005 trnet-default                    act/unsup
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

Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
Fa0/1       desirable        802.1q         trunking      1

Port        Vlans allowed on trunk
Fa0/1       1-4094

Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Fa0/1       1,10,20,99

Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
Fa0/1       1,10,20,99

S2# show interfaces trunk

Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
Fa0/1       auto             802.1q         trunking      1

Port        Vlans allowed on trunk
Fa0/1       1-4094

Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Fa0/1       1,10,20,99

Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
Fa0/1       1,10,20,99
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 lab, keep the default settings which allows all VLANs to traverse F0/1.
d.    Verify that VLAN traffic is traveling over trunk interface F0/1.
Can S1 ping S2?          ___________
Can PC-A ping PC-B?  ___________
Can PC-A ping PC-C?  ___________
Can PC-B ping PC-C?  ___________
Can PC-A ping S1?      ___________
Can PC-B ping S2?      ___________
Can PC-C ping S2?      ___________
If you answered no to any of the above questions, explain below.
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
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.     Change the switchport mode on interface F0/1 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.
S2# show interfaces trunk

Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
Fa0/1       on               802.1q         trunking      99

Port        Vlans allowed on trunk
Fa0/1       1-4094

Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Fa0/1       1,10,20,99

Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
Fa0/1       1,10,20,99
Why might you want to manually configure an interface to trunk mode instead of using DTP?
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
Part 5:     Delete the VLAN Database
In Part 5, you will delete the VLAN Database from the switch. It is necessary to do this when initializing a switch back to its default settings.
Step 1:     Determine if the VLAN database exists.
Issue the show flash command to determine if a vlan.dat file exists in flash.
S1# show flash

Directory of flash:/

    2  -rwx        1285   Mar 1 1993 00:01:24 +00:00  config.text
    3  -rwx       43032   Mar 1 1993 00:01:24 +00:00  multiple-fs
    4  -rwx           5   Mar 1 1993 00:01:24 +00:00  private-config.text
    5  -rwx    11607161   Mar 1 1993 02:37:06 +00:00  c2960-lanbasek9-mz.150-2.SE.bin
    6  -rwx         736   Mar 1 1993 00:19:41 +00:00  vlan.dat

32514048 bytes total (20858880 bytes free)
Note: If there is a vlan.dat file located in flash, then the VLAN database does not contain its default settings.
Step 2:     Delete the VLAN database.
a.     Issue the delete vlan.dat command to delete the vlan.dat file from flash and reset the VLAN database back to its default settings. You will be prompted twice to confirm that you want to delete the vlan.dat file. Press Enter both times.
S1# delete vlan.dat
Delete filename [vlan.dat]?
Delete flash:/vlan.dat? [confirm]
S1#
b.    Issue the show flash command to verify that the vlan.dat file has been deleted.
S1# show flash

Directory of flash:/

    2  -rwx        1285   Mar 1 1993 00:01:24 +00:00  config.text
    3  -rwx       43032   Mar 1 1993 00:01:24 +00:00  multiple-fs
    4  -rwx           5   Mar 1 1993 00:01:24 +00:00  private-config.text
    5  -rwx    11607161   Mar 1 1993 02:37:06 +00:00  c2960-lanbasek9-mz.150-2.SE.bin
