The first part requires configuring links as trunks and creating VLANs. In the second part, the links are configured as Fast EtherChannel. Equipment • Two Catalyst 5xxx or 6xxx switches with Fast EtherChannel capable line cards • Three PCs with NIC cards • One Cisco router with an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet interface Initial Configuration CertificationZone Page 2 of 4 http://www.certificationzone.com/studyguides /?Issue=36&IssueDate=05-01-2001&CP= 11/06/01 VTP Domain: lab VLAN 1 name: vlan1 VLAN 2 name: vlan2 VLAN 3 name: vlan3 Part 1: VLANs and Trunks Goals Switch A and Switch B are directly connected. First, configure the links connecting them as ISL trunks. Then configure Switch A as a VTP server and Switch B as a VTP client. Create VLANs 2 and 3 on Switch A. PC-1 and PC- 2 will connect to VLAN 2, and PC-3 connects to VLAN 3. The router will also connect to the VLAN 3 port. The switches remain in VLAN 1. All devices in similar VLANs should be able to ping one another, but there should be no inter-VLAN connectivity. Task List 1. Configure each PC with the appropriate IP address and subnet mask 2. Configure the router Ethernet or Fast Ethernet interface with the appropriate IP address and subnet mask. 3. On Switch B a. Use the set interface sc0 command to set the appropriate IP address and subnet mask. b. Use the set vtp command to set the VTP domain and mode. c. Place the ports connected to PC-2 and PC-3 in the appropriate VLANs. Did this work? Why or why not? 4. On Switch A a. Use the set interface sc0 command to set the appropriate IP address and subnet mask. b. Use the set vtp command to set the VTP domain and mode. c. Switch B is set in the default mode for trunk negotiation. What command should you enter to make the links trunks? Enter that command for the ports connected to B. d. Create VLANs 2 and 3. e. Place the ports connected to PC-1 and the router in the appropriate VLANs. Did this work? Why or why not?

On Switch B a. Place the ports connected to PC-2 and PC-3 in the appropriate VLANs. Did this work? Why or why not? 6. Ping between devices. Do intra-VLAN pings work? If not, something is not right in your configuration. Do inter- VLAN pings work? Why or why not? Solutions - Part 1 Answers 3) The configuration command should fail due to the fact that the VLANs have not been defined on Switch B. VLANs must be defined before ports can be placed in a VLAN. Since Switch B is a VTP client, it will not allow the creation of VLANs 4c) set trunk desirable or set trunk on would be needed since Switch B is defaulting to set trunk auto. 4e) Yes, this is the normal configuration order, so the commands should work. 5) Yes, since Switch B learned about the VLANs via VTP from Switch A, Switch B can now place ports into VLANs 2 and 3 6) Intra-VLAN pings should succeed. Inter-VLAN pings should fail because no inter-VLAN routing has been configured.

The pings should still work (and not work) as in Part 1. Task List 1. On Switch A and Switch B: a. Use the set port channel command to set up EtherChannel CertificationZone Page 4 of 4 http://www.certificationzone.com/studyguides /?Issue=36&IssueDate=05-01-2001&CP= 11/06/01 b. Use the show port channel command. Note, which ports are channeling? 2. Ping between devices. Do intra-VLAN pings work? If not, something is not right in your configuration. Do inter- VLAN pings work? Why or why not? Solutions - Part 2 Answers {Note: the port numbers should reflect the ones you've actually used} 1b) SwitchA(enable) show port channel Port Status Channel Channel Neighbor Neighbor mode status device port 2/1 connected on channel WS-C5000 000001234 2/5 2/2 connected on channel WS-C5000 000001234 2/6 2) Intra-VLAN pings should still succeed. Inter-VLAN pings should still fail because no inter-VLAN routing has been configured.
