Lab 6.4.2

Switch 1 and Switch 2 are connected via an EtherChannel using ports F0/1 and F0/2 on each switch. The EtherChannel was configured using LACP to actively negotiate the bundling of the physical ports. This created a virtual Port-Channel 1 interface representing the logical interface of the bundled physical ports. The show interfaces trunk and show etherchannel summary commands verified that trunking was still configured and the EtherChannel configuration was correct with ports F0/1 and F0/2 combined as Port-Channel 1.

Instructions

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.

PC-A
PC-B

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:  Configure basic settings for each switch.

1. Assign a device name to the switch.

2. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered
commands as though they were host names.

3. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password.

4. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login.

5. Assign cisco as the VTY password and enable login.

6. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.

7. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is prohibited.

8. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.

9. Set the clock on the switch to today’s time and date.


10. Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Step 3:  Configure PC hosts.


Refer to the Addressing Table for PC host address information.
Part 2:  Create VLANs and Assign Switch Ports
In Part 2, you will create VLANs as specified in the table above on both switches. You will then assign
the VLANs to the appropriate interface and verify your configuration settings. Complete the following
tasks on each switch.
Step 1:  Create VLANs on the switches.
Switch 1

Switch 2

2. Configure and activate the management interface on each switch using the IP address information
in the Addressing Table.

Switch 1
Switch 2

3. Assign all unused ports on the switch to the Parking_Lot VLAN, configure them for static access
mode, and administratively deactivate them

Switch 1

Switch 2

Step 2:  Assign VLANs to the correct switch interfaces.


1. Assign used ports to the appropriate VLAN (specified in the VLAN table above) and configure
them for static access mode.

Switch 1
witch 2

2. Issue the show vlan brief command and verify that the VLANs are assigned to the correct ports.

Switch 1

Switch 2
Part 3:  Configure 802.1Q trunks between the switches.
In Part 3, you will manually configure interfaces F0/1 and F0/2 as 802.1Q trunks.
1. Change the switchport mode on the interfaces to force trunking. Use the interface range command
to reduce the number of commands required. Make sure to do this on both switches.

Switch 1

Switch 2

2. As a part of the trunk configuration, set the native VLAN to 1000 on both switches. You may see
error messages temporarily while the two interfaces are configured for different native VLANs.
Switch 1

Switch 2

3. As another part of trunk configuration, specify that VLANs 10, 20, and 1000 are allowed to cross
the trunk.
Switch 1

Switch2

4. Issue the show interfaces trunk command to verify the trunking ports, Native VLAN and allowed
VLANs across the trunk.

Switch 1
Switch 2

Part 4:  Implement and Verify an EtherChannel between the switches.


1. Create a LACP-based EtherChannel using F0/1 and F0/2 using group number 1, with both
switches actively negotiating the EtherChannel protocol. Use the interface range command to
reduce the number of commands required.

Switch 1

Switch 2

2. After the EtherChannel is configured, a virtual Port-Channel interface is automatically created.


Now interface Port-Channel 1 represents the logical interface of the bundled physical ports F0/1
and F0/2. Additionally, the Port-Channel will inherit the configuration of the first physical port
added to the EtherChannel.
3. Issue the show interfaces trunk command to verify trunking is still in place
Switch 1

What does the port ‘Po1’ represent?


F0/1 and F0/2 can be seen as Po1

4. Use the show etherchannel summary command to verify the EtherChannel configuration.

Switch 1

Switch 2
