Chapter Two Lab-7 - Build A Switch and Router Network - Physical Mode

This document describes setting up a network topology with one router and one switch. It includes an addressing table with IP addresses for each device interface. The objectives are to configure the devices, verify connectivity, and display device information. Key steps include assigning IP addresses to PC interfaces, configuring the router interfaces and routing, configuring the switch VLAN interface, verifying end-to-end connectivity, and using show commands to display routing tables and interface information.

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

Background / Scenario
This is a comprehensive activity to review the IOS commands you have learned. In this Packet Tracer
Physical Mode (PTPM) activity, 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.
After the devices have been configured and network connectivity has been verified, you will use IOS
commands to retrieve information from the devices to answer questions about your network equipment.
This activity provides minimal assistance with the commands necessary to configure the router. Test your
knowledge by trying to configure the devices without referring to the course content or the previous activities.

Instructions

Part 1: Set Up the Topology


a. Move the required router and switch from the Shelf to the Rack.
b. Move the required PCs from the Shelf to the Table.
c. Cable the devices, as shown in the Topology and the Addressing Table.
d. Power on all the devices.

Part 2: Configure Devices and Verify Connectivity


In this part, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings, such as the interface IP
addresses, device access, and passwords. Refer to the Topology and Addressing Table at the beginning of
this activity for device names and address information.

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


a. On PC-A, configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings.
b. On PC-B, configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings.
c. From a command prompt window on PC-A, ping PC-B.
Question:

Why were the pings not successful?


Type your answers here.

Step 2: Configure the router.


a. Console into the router and enable privileged EXEC mode.
Open configuration window

b. Enter configuration mode.


c. Assign the device name to the router.
d. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password.
e. Assign aait as the console password and enable login.
f. Assign aait as the vty password and enable login.
g. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.
h. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is prohibited.
i. Configure and activate both interfaces on the router.
j. Configure an interface description for each interface indicating which device is connected to it.
k. To enable IPv6 routing, enter the ipv6 unicast-routing command.
l. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.
m. Set the clock on the router.
Note: Use the question mark (?) to help with the correct sequence of parameters needed to execute this
command.
Close configuration window

n. From a command prompt window on PC-A, ping PC-B.


Note: If pings are not successful, the Windows Firewall may need to be turned off.
Question:

Were the pings successful? Explain.

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.


b. Enter configuration mode.
c. Assign a device name to the switch.
d. Configure and activate the VLAN interface on the switch S1.
e. Configure the default gateway for the switch S1.
f. 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.
Close configuration window

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 R1 to answer the following questions.
Open configuration window
Questions:

What code is used in the routing table to indicate a directly connected network?
Type your answers here.
How many route entries are coded with a C code in the routing table?
Type your answers here.
What interface types are associated to the C coded routes?
Type your answers here.
b. Use the show ipv6 route command on R1 to display the IPv6 routes.

Step 2: Display interface information on R1.


a. Use the show interface g0/0/1 to answer the following questions.
Questions:

What is the operational status of the G0/0/1 interface?


Type your answers here.
What is the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the G0/1 interface?
Type your answers here.
How is the internet address displayed in this command?
Type your answers here.
b. For the IPv6 information, enter the show ipv6 interface interface command.

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 is
the show ip interface brief command. The command output displays a summary list of the interfaces on the
device and provides immediate feedback about the status of each interface.
a. Enter the show ip interface brief command on R1.
R1# show ip interface brief
b. Enter the show ipv6 interface brief command on R1 to see the IPv6 interface information.
R1# show ipv6 interface brief
Close configuration window

c. Enter the show ip interface brief command on S1.


Open configuration window

S1# show ip interface brief


Close configuration window

Reflection Questions
1. If the G0/0/1 interface showed that it was administratively down, what interface configuration command would
you use to bring the interface up?
Type your answers here.
2. What would happen if you had incorrectly configured interface G0/0/1 on the router with an IP address of
192.168.1.2?
Type your answers here.
