Lab - Basic Switch and End Device Configuration Topology

Addressing Table
Device Interface IP Address Subnet Mask
S1 VLAN 1 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
S2 VLAN 1 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
PC-A NIC 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0
PC-B NIC 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.0
Objectives
• Set Up the Network Topology
• Configure PC Hosts
• Configure and Verify Basic Switch Settings

Background / Scenario
In this lab, you will build a simple network with two hosts and two switches. You will also
configure basic settings including hostname, local passwords, and login banner. Use show
commands to display the running configuration, IOS version, and interface status. Use the
copy command to save device configurations.
You will apply IP addressing for this lab to the PCs and switches to enable communication
between the devices. Use the ping utility to verify connectivity.
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: Make sure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations.
Refer to Appendix A for the procedure to initialize and reload a switch.

Lab - Basic Switch and End Device Configuration

Required Resources
• 2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or
comparable)
• 2 PCs (Windows 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

Instructions Step 1: Set Up the Network Topology


In this step, you will cable the devices together according to the
network topology. a. Power on the devices.
b. Connect the two switches.
c. Connect the PCs to their respective switches.
d. Visually inspect network connections.
Step 2: Configure PC Hosts
a. Configure static IP address information on the PCs according to the Addressing Table.

Step 3: Configure and Verify Basic Switch Settings


a. Console into the switch. Enter the global configuration mode

b. Give the switch a name according to the Addressing Table.

m. From a PC, ping S1 and S2. The pings should be successful.


n. From a switch, ping PC-A and PC-B. The pings should be successful.

Reflection Question
Why some FastEthernet ports on the switches are up and others are down?

FastEthernet ports are active when cables are connected to ports, unless
administrators have manually disabled them. Otherwise, the ports are inactive.

What could prevent a ping from being sent between the PCs?

Incorrect IP address, disconnected media, switch off or administratively inactive


ports, firewall.
