CCNPv6 SWITCH

Skills-Based Assessment
Topology

Objectives
Part 1: Configure the switches in the topology according to the diagram and the specifications provided.
Part 2: Test the network for appropriate connectivity and configured options.

Exam Overview
This skills-based assessment (SBA) is the final practical exam for Academy training for the course CCNPv6
SWITCH. In Part 1, you configure various features such as trunking, EtherChannel, VTP, VLANs, SVIs,
routed links, EIGRP, HSRP, port security and QoS. In Part 2, you create a Tcl script to test IP connectivity
and use show commands to verify configured options. This exam combines device configuration and
troubleshooting.
Note: This lab uses Cisco WS-C2960-24TT-L switches with the Cisco IOS image c2960-lanbasek9-mz.12246.SE.bin, and Catalyst 3560-24PS with the Cisco IOS image c3560-advipservicesk9-mz.122-46.SE.bin. You
can use other switches (such as a 2950 or 3550) and Cisco IOS Software versions if they have comparable
capabilities and features. Depending on the switch model and Cisco IOS Software version, the commands
available and output produced might vary from what is shown in this lab.

Required Resources

2 switches (Cisco 2960 with the Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46)SE C2960-LANBASEK9-M image or
comparable)

2 switches (Cisco 3560 with the Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46)SE C3560-ADVIPSERVICESK9-mz
image or comparable)

Part 1: Configure the network according to specifications.

1. Disable the links between ALS1 and ALS2.
2. Use multiple class C 192.168.X.0/24 networks as required for this SBA.
3. Configure the Fa0/11 link between DLS1 and DLS2 as a Layer 3 link and assign a network to it.
4. Configure the Fa0/12 link between DLS1 and DLS2 as an ISL trunk, and statically set all other interswitch links as 802.1q trunks.
5. Bind the links between DLS1 and ALS1 in an EtherChannel and configure the two switches to actively
negotiate a PAgP link.
6. Place all switches in the VTP domain CISCO with DLS1 as the VTP server using VTP version 2.
Configure all other switches as VTP clients.
7. On DLS1, create VLAN 10 named CLIENT, VLAN 20 named VOICE, VLAN 30 named SERVER and
VLAN 99 named MGMT. Choose a 192.168.X.0/24 network for each VLAN for use in subsequent
steps.
8. Ensure that the VLAN 1 interface on all switches is not used for administrative management or user
traffic.
9. Configure the Rapid PVST (PVRST+) protocol on all switches. Ensure that DLS1 becomes the
spanning tree root of VLANs 10 and 20 and DLS2 becomes the backup. Ensure that DLS2 becomes
the spanning tree root of VLANs 30 and 99 and DLS1 becomes the backup.
10. On DLS1 and DLS2 configure SVIs and HSRP to provide gateway redundancy for access layer
clients in VLANs 10, 20, 30 and 99. Create an SVI in VLANs 10, 20, 30 and 99, each with an IP
address and mask from their respective networks chosen in Step 7.
11. Configure DLS1 as the active HSRP router for VLANs 10 and 20 and configure DLS2 as backup.
Configure DLS2 as the active router for VLANs 30 and 99 and configure DLS1 as backup.
12. On ALS1 and ALS2 create an SVI for MGMT VLAN 99 with an IP address from the VLAN 99 network
assigned in Step 7.
13. For ALS1 and ALS2, specify the HSRP gateway address of VLAN 99 as the default gateway.
14. Enable PortFast on all access layer switch ports.
15. Permit the links between DLS2 and ALS2 to carry traffic only for the VLANs created in Step 7.
16. Enable QoS globally on all switches.
17. On ALS1 configure Fa0/6 as an access port in CLIENT VLAN 10 and to trust Cisco IP phones CoS
using AutoQoS. Use VOICE VLAN 20 as the voice VLAN.
18. On ALS1, configure port Fa0/6 with port security. Allow up to two MAC addresses to be learned for IP
phone support. Enable sticky learning. Shut down the port if a violation occurs.
19. On ALS2 configure port Fa0/6 as an access port in SERVER VLAN 30.
20. Configure IP routing on DLS1 and DLS2, and use EIGRP to advertise 192.168.0.0/16 with automatic
summarization disabled.

21. Configure client PC-A with an IP address in the VLAN 10 network and specify the VLAN 10 HSRP
virtual address as the default gateway. Configure server PC-B with an IP address in VLAN 30 and
specify the VLAN 30 HSRP virtual address as the default gateway.

Part 2: Test network connectivity and configured options.

a. Create a Tcl script and test connectivity from each distribution layer switch to the addresses you
assigned in the topology.
Note: The IOS for the access layer switches used in this SBA does not support Tcl scripting.
b. Verify that the correct VLANs exist on all switches and contain the correct ports.
c.

Verify that the EtherChannel between DLS1 and ALS1 is configured correctly.

d. Verify the spanning tree configuration and that the root bridge (DLS1 or DLS2) is correct for each
VLAN.
e. Verify that the correct SVIs exist and that the correct HRSP routers are primary and standby for each
VLAN.
f.

Verify that Auto-QoS VoIP support is configured for port Fa0/6 on ALS1.

g. Verify that client PC-A can ping server PC-B.

h. Verify the traced route from client PC-A to server PC-B.
