Objectives

Part 1: Build the Network and Load Device Configurations
Part 2: Troubleshoot EtherChannel

Background / Scenario

The switches at your company were configured by an inexperienced network administrator. Several errors in the configuration have resulted in speed and connectivity issues. Your manager has asked you to troubleshoot and correct the configuration errors and document your work. Using your knowledge of EtherChannel and standard testing methods, find and correct the errors. Ensure that all of the EtherChannels use Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP), and that all hosts are reachable.

Note: The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs.

Note: Make sure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure, contact your instructor.

Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Required Resources

  • 3 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
  • 2 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with a terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
  • Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
  • Ethernet cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Build the Network and Load Device Configurations

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology, configure basic settings on the PC hosts, and load configurations on the switches.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Step 2: Configure the PC hosts.

Step 3: Erase the startup and VLAN configurations and reload the switches.

Step 4: Load switch configurations.

Load the following configurations into the appropriate switch. All switches have the same passwords. The privileged EXEC password is class. The password for console and vty access is cisco. As all switches are Cisco devices, the network administrator decided to use Cisco’s PAgP on all port channels configured with EtherChannel. Switch S2 is the root bridge for all VLANs in the topology.

Step 5: Save your configuration.

Part 2: Troubleshoot EtherChannel

In Part 2, you must examine the configurations on all switches, make corrections if needed, and verify full functionality.

Step 1: Troubleshoot S1.

a. Use the show interfaces trunk command to verify that the port channels are functioning as trunk ports.

S1# show interfaces trunk  

Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan  
Fa0/1       on               802.1q         trunking      99  
Fa0/2       on               802.1q         trunking      99  
  
Port        Vlans allowed on trunk  
Fa0/1       1-4094  
Fa0/2       1-4094  
  
Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain  
Fa0/1       1,10,99  
Fa0/2       1,10,99

Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned  
Fa0/1       none  
Fa0/2       none

Do port channels 1 and 2 appear as trunked ports? _____No

b. Use the show etherchannel summary command to verify that interfaces are configured in the correct port channel, the proper protocol is configured, and the interfaces are in use.

S1# show etherchannel summary  

Flags:  D - down        P - bundled in port-channel  
        I - stand-alone s - suspended  
        H - Hot-standby (LACP only)  
        R - Layer3      S - Layer2  
        U - in use      f - failed to allocate aggregator  
  
        M - not in use, minimum links not met  
        u - unsuitable for bundling  
        w - waiting to be aggregated  
        d - default port  
  
  
Number of channel-groups in use: 2  
Number of aggregators:           2

2      Po2(SD)         PAgP      Fa0/3(I)    Fa0/4(I)

Based on the output, are there any EtherChannel issues? If issues are found, record them in the space provided below.
_________________________________________________
Yes. Port Channel 1 is configured with the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), and the ports in Port Channel 2 are functioning independently (I = stand-alone).

c. Use the command show run | begin interface Port-channel command to view the running configuration beginning with the first port channel interface.

S1# show run | begin interface Port-channel  

interface Port-channel1

b. Verify connectivity of the management VLAN.

Can S1 ping S2? _____Yes
Can S1 ping S3? _____Yes
Can S2 ping S3? _____Yes

c. Verify connectivity of PCs.

Can PC-A ping PC-C? ____Yes

If EtherChannels are not fully functional, connectivity between switches does not exist, or connectivity between hosts does not exist. Troubleshoot to resolve any remaining issues.

Note: It may be necessary to disable the PC firewall for pings between the PCs to succeed.
