Lab - Basic Switch and End Device Configuration Topology Addressing Table Device Interface IP Address Subnet Mask S1 VLAN 1 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 S2 VLAN 1 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 PC-A NIC 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0 PC-B NIC 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.0 Objectives  Set Up the Network Topology  Configure PC Hosts  Configure and Verify Basic Switch Settings Background / Scenario In this lab, you will build a simple network with two hosts and two switches. You will also configure basic settings including hostname, local passwords, and login banner. Use show commands to display the running configuration, IOS version, and interface status. Use the copy command to save device configurations. You will apply IP addressing for this lab to the PCs and switches to enable communication between the devices. Use the ping utility to verify connectivity. Note : Make sure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. Refer to Appendix A for the procedure to initialize and reload a switch. Required Resources  2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)  2 PCs (Windows with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)  2013 - 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Lab - Basic Switch and End Device Configuration  Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports  Ethernet cables as shown in the topology Instructions Step 1: Set Up the Network Topology In this step, you will cable the devices together according to the network topology. a. Power on the devices. b. Connect the two switches. c. Connect the PCs to their respective switches. d. Visually inspect network connections. Step 2: Configure PC Hosts a. Configure static IP address information on the PCs according to the Addressing Table. b. Verify PC settings and connectivity. Step 3: Configure and Verify Basic Switch Settings a. Console into the switch. Enter the global configuration mode. Open Configuration Window b. Give the switch a name according to the Addressing Table. c. Prevent unwanted DNS lookups. d. Enter local passwords. Use class as the privileged EXEC password and cisco as the password for console access. e. Configure and enable the SVI according to the Addressing Table. f. Enter a login MOTD banner to warn about unauthorized access. g. Save the configuration. h. Display the current configuration. i. Display the IOS version and other useful switch information. j. Display the status of the connected interfaces on the switch. Close Configuration Window. k. Configure switch S2. l. Record the interface status for the following interfaces. Interface S1 Status S1 Protocol S2 Status S2 Protocol F0/1 up up up up F0/6 up up down down F0/18 down down up up VLAN 1 up up up up m. From a PC, ping S1 and S2. The pings should be successful. n. From a switch, ping PC-A and PC-B. The pings should be successful.  2013 - 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public Page 2 of 3 www.netacad.com
