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.

C:\> ping 192.168.0.3

Why were the pings not successful?
The router interfaces (default gateways) have not been configured yet so Layer 3 traffic is not being routed between subnets.

Step 2: Configure the router.

a. Console into the router and enable privileged EXEC mode.

Router> enable

b. Enter configuration mode.

Router# configure terminal

c. Assign the device name to the router.

Router(config)# hostname R1

d. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password.

R1(config)# enable secret class

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

R1(config)# line console 0
R1(config-line)# password cisco
R1(config-line)# login

f. Assign cisco as the vty password and enable login.

R1(config)# line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)# password cisco
R1(config-line)# login

g. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.

R1(config)# service password-encryption

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

R1(config)# banner motd $ Authorized Users Only! $

i. Configure and activate both interfaces on the router.

R1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0/0
R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad::1/64
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::1 link-local
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:1::1/64
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::1 link-local
R1(config-if)# no shutdown

j. Configure an interface description for each interface indicating which device is connected to it.

R1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
R1(config-if)# description Connected to F0/5 on S1
R1(config-if)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0/0
R1(config-if)# description Connected to Host PC-B

k. To enable IPv6 routing, enter the ipv6 unicast-routing command.

R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

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

R1# copy running-config startup-config

m. Set the clock on the router.

R1# clock set 15:30:00 25 Dec 2020

Note: Use the question mark (?) to help with the correct sequence of parameters needed to execute this command.

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

C:\> ping 192.168.0.3

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

Were the pings successful? Explain.
Yes. The router is routing traffic across the two subnets. The default settings for the 2960 switch will automatically turn up the interfaces that are connected to devices.

Step 3: Configure the switch.

In this step, you will configure the hostname, the VLAN 1 interface, and its default gateway.

a. Console into the switch and enable privileged EXEC mode.

Switch> enable

b. Enter configuration mode.

Switch# configure terminal

c. Assign a device name to the switch.

Switch(config)# hostname S1

d. Configure and activate the VLAN interface on the switch S1.

S1(config)# interface vlan 1
S1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
S1(config-if)# no shutdown

e. Configure the default gateway for the switch S1.

S1(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.1.1

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

S1# copy running-config startup-config
Step 4: Verify end-to-end connectivity.

a. From PC-A, ping PC-B.

C:\> ping 192.168.0.3

b. From S1, ping PC-B.

S1# ping 192.168.0.3

All the pings should be successful.

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.

R1# show ip route
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area
* - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR
P - periodic downloaded static route
Gateway of last resort is not set
192.168.0.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C 192.168.0.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0/0
L 192.168.0.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0/0
192.168.1.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0/1
L 192.168.1.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0/1

What code is used in the routing table to indicate a directly connected network?
The C designates a directly connected subnet. An L designates a local interface. Both answers are correct.

How many route entries are coded with a C code in the routing table?
2

What interface types are associated to the C coded routes?
Answers may vary depending on the router type, but on the 4221 the correct answer is G0/0/0 and G0/0/1.

b. Use the show ipv6 route command on R1 to display the IPv6 routes.

R1# show ipv6 route
IPv6 Routing Table - 5 entries

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
Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

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?
R1(config-if)# no shutdown

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?
PC-A would not be able to ping PC-B. This is because PC-B is on a different network than PC-A, which requires the default-gateway router to route these packets. PC-A is configured to use the IP address of 192.168.1.1 for the default-gateway router, but this address is not assigned to any device on the LAN. Any packets that need to be sent to the default-gateway for routing will never reach their destination.
