Introduction

Packet Tracer is integrated throughout this course. You must know how to navigate the Packet Tracer
environment for success. Make sure that you have watched the video on how to use Packet Tracer.
Use the tutorials if you require a review of Packet Tracer fundamentals. The tutorials are located in
the Packet Tracer Help menu.

This lab focuses on cabling the devices and then configuring the devices as per the instructions.
Once you complete this lab, you will prepare a written report describing what is happening on the
network by filling in the tables and answering all the questions asked in the lab.

Save the Packet Tracer lab file and the written assignment using the following naming convention:
Last Name-Student number.

Both the Packet Tracer lab assignment and your written lab assignment must be submitted by 11:30
pm of the fifth day that you are assigned the lab (i.e. if your class is on Tuesday, you must submit
both parts of your lab assignment on Sunday at the time indicated on the DropBox). (If your class is
on a Friday, then your lab assignment is due on Wednesday at the time indicated on the DropBox).
These will be submitted via the Dropbox on eLearn. Any lab not submitted by that time will receive a
mark of 0% for the lab regardless of the reason.

This is a fillable PDF document. Use this document to answer the questions highlighted in yellow.

DO NOT submit the two files as a ZIP file. Zip files will not be graded. DO NOT, convert the .pka into
a .pkt file, you will be graded with a zero if you do.

Packet Tracer

When you open Packet Tracer you will see the following dialog box:

Replace Guest with your First name and student number in the space marked Name as well as
your email address in the space marked E-Mail. In the Addition Info box copy the following
bolded sentence and paste it into the blank area. When pasting into Packet Tracer use the
mouse and right click to insert the text. Copy and paste the following:

I, name/student #, hereby state that this lab is solely my work and no other student helped or
did my work for me.

Remember: having someone else do any of your work and then submit it as your own is
deemed to be one of the items that falls under the heading of Academic Dishonesty. When it
is filled in, the User Profile should look like the example shown below.

Click OK and then go to File > Save As and save your file as per the instructions on the first

Objectives

Part 1: Network Discovery with CDP

Part 2: Network Discovery with LLDP
Part 3: Network Time Protocol

Background / Scenario

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a Cisco proprietary protocol for network discovery on the data
link layer. It can share information such as device names and IOS versions, with other physically
connected Cisco devices. Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is vendor-neutral protocol using
on the data link layer for network discovery. It is mainly used with network devices in the local
area network (LAN). The network devices advertise information, such as their identities and
capabilities to their neighbors.
In this lab, you must complete the questions and document the ports that are connected to other
switches using CDP and LLDP. You will document your findings in a network topology diagram.
You will also enable or disable these discovery protocols as necessary.

Part 1: Network Discovery with CDP

On Cisco devices, CDP is enabled by default. You will use CDP to discover the ports that are
currently connected. Rename the Gateway Router by adding the last 3 digits of your student
number. (e.g. Gateway123) – with123 being the last 3 digits of your student number)

a. On router Gateway, enter the command in the privileged EXEC mode to verify that CDP is
currently enabled on router Gateway.

i. Copy and paste the command you used and the output from the command you used in PT
here.

v. If CDP is disabled on Gateway, what is the command to enable it? Copy and paste the
command you used and any output from the command you used in PT here.

vi. What mode were you in to issue this command? ________________________________

What is the command to determine which CDP enabled devices are directly connected to Gateway?
i. Copy and paste the command you used and the output from the command you used in PT
here.

d. To see more details on the CDP enabled devices that are directly connected to you, what is
the command that you would issue? (Make note of the information on S3)
i. Copy and paste the command you used and the output from the command you used in PT
here.

6
e. What can you learn about these two devices from the outputs of the previous command?
i. Write your answer here.

f. Configure the SVI on S3. Examples of how to configure a Switched Virtual Interface can be
found on page 470 in your text book.
Use any available IP address in 192.168.2.0 / 24 network, and use 192.168.2.254 as the
default gateway. What are the 5 commands used? They must be in the correct order.
i. Copy and paste the commands you used and any output from the commands you used in
PT here.

7
g. Issue the last command you used on the Gateway router on S3. What additional information is
available on S3?
i. Copy and paste the command you used and the output from the command you used in PT
here.

h. For security reasons, it is a good idea to turn off CDP on an interface facing an external
network. Turn off CDP on that interface.
i. Copy and paste the command you used and any output from the command you used in PT
here.

ii. To verify that CDP has been turned off on the interface, what command can you use?
Copy and paste the command you used and the output from the command you used in PT
here.

You may need to wait for the hold time to expire. The hold time is the amount of time the
network devices will hold the CDP packets until the devices discard them.

here.

ii. How many interfaces are CDP enabled? _____

iii. Which interface(s) are CDP disabled? _____________________________________

Console into all the switches and use the CDP commands to determine the Ethernet ports that are
connected to other devices.

Part 2: Network Discovery with LLDP

On Cisco devices, LLDP maybe enabled by default, depending on the model and the IOS version.

iv. What is the command you would use to see which devices are directly connected via
LLDP? Copy and paste the command you used and any output from the command you
used in PT here.

v. Which device(s) are neighbors to Gateway? ________________________________

Reflection – PART 1 & 2

Within a network, on which interfaces should you not use discovery protocols? Explain. Write
your answer here. It should be in two parts.

PART 3 – NTP

a. The routing protocol RIPv2 has been configured on the NTPClient1 router, the Gateway router
and the ISP router and does not have to be configured. Test the connectivity by pinging the
address 10.10.10.2. It should be successful. This is the address of the NTP server inside the
ISP cloud.

b. The NTP server inside the ISP cloud has already been configured for NTP and you do not
need to do anything in that regard.

c. You will now configure the NTPClient1 router and the Gateway router to be NTP clients.

i. Check the current NTP and clock status on the NTPClient1 router.

Copy and paste the commands you used to perform this task as well as the output in
the space below.

14
 ii. Check the current NTP and clock status on the Gateway router.

Copy and paste the commands you used to perform this task as well as the output in
the space below.

d. Configure the NTPClient1 router and the Gateway router as NTP clients.

i. Copy and paste the command that you used to perform this task on the NTPClient1
router in the space below.

ii. Copy and paste the command that you used to perform this task on the Gateway router
in the space below.

e. Check the clocks on both the NTPClient1 and Gateway routers to verify that they are
synchronized. (note: you may have to use the Fast Forward Time button to speed up the
synchronization)

i. Copy and paste the command that you used to perform this task on the NTPClient1
router as well as the output from the command in the space below.

15
 ii. Copy and paste the command that you used to perform this task on the Gateway router

the NTPClient1 router and the Gateway router.

i. Copy and paste the commands that you used to perform these tasks on the NTPClient1
router as well as the output from the commands in the space below.

ii. Copy and paste the commands that you used to perform these tasks on the Gateway router
as well as the output from the commands in the space below.
