Switch Interfaces Configuration

This lab will test configuring switch interfaces including setting speed, duplex, VLANs, and trunking between switches. The document provides instructions to configure ports on Switch0, troubleshoot a PC unable to ping, choose the right cable type to connect switches, and configure trunking without negotiation between Switch0, Switch1, and Switch2.

Lab instructions

This lab will test your ability to configure speed, duplex, and vlan settings on a cisco switch
interfaces.

1. Connect to Switch0 using console interface and configure each Switch0 fastethernet
switchport for operation. Correct settings are :
- Port type : access port
- Speed : 100 Mbit/s
- Duplex mode : Full Duplex
- Autonegotiation disabled

2. PC "192.168.1.4" seems to be unable to ping other PCs in the network. Check switch
configuration.
TIP : How many broadcast domains are there in this network ?

3. Choose the right cable to connect :


- Switch0 gigabitethernet 1/1 to Switch1 gigabitethernet 1/1
- Switch1 gigabitethernet 1/2 to Switch2 gigabitethernet 1/2

4. Configure those two links as trunk lines without using trunk negotiation between switches
Network diagram

Solution
Connect to Switch0 using console interface and configure each Switch0 fastethernet
switchport for operation.

Switch(config)#interface FastEthernet0/1

switchport mode access


duplex full
speed 100
Switch(config)#interface FastEthernet0/2

switchport mode access


duplex full
speed 100

Switch(config)#interface FastEthernet0/3

switchport mode access


duplex full
speed 100

Switch(config)#interface FastEthernet0/4

switchport mode access


duplex full
speed 100

PC "192.168.1.4" seems to be unable to ping other PCs in the network. Check switch
configuration.
Switch(config)#interface FastEthernet0/4

Switch(config-if)#switchport mode access

Switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 1

Choose the right cable to connect :


- Switch0 gigabitethernet 1/1 to Switch1 gigabitethernet 1/1
- Switch1 gigabitethernet 1/2 to Switch2 gigabitethernet 1/2
Configure those two links as trunk lines without using trunk negotiation between switches

On every interface that has to be configured for trunk operation, configure the following settings

Switch(config)#interface GigabitEthernet1/X

Switch(config-if)#switchport mode trunk

Verify interface operational mode using the "show interface GigabitEthernet1/X switchport
command" :
Name: Gig1/2

Switchport: Enabled

Administrative Mode: trunk

Operational Mode: trunk

Administrative Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q

Operational Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q

Negotiation of Trunking: On

Access Mode VLAN: 1 (default)

Trunking Native Mode VLAN: 1 (default)

Voice VLAN: none

Another usefull ios command is "show interfaces trunk" :

Switch#sh interfaces trunk


Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan
Gig1/2 on 802.1q trunking 1

Port Vlans allowed on trunk


Gig1/2 1-1005

Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain


Gig1/2 1

Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned


Gig1/2 1
