Objectives

  • Part 1: Add VLANs to a Switch
  • Part 2: Configure Subinterfaces
  • Part 3: Test Connectivity with Inter-VLAN Routing

Scenario

In this activity, you will configure VLANs and inter-VLAN routing. You will then enable trunk interfaces and verify connectivity between VLANs.

Instructions

Part 1: Add VLANs to a Switch

Step 1: Create VLANs on S1.

Create VLAN 10 and VLAN 30 on S1.

S1(config)#vlan 10
S1(config-vlan)#vlan 30
Step 2: Assign VLANs to ports.

a. Configure interfaces F0/6 and F0/11 as access ports and assign VLANs.

  • Assign the port connected to PC1 to VLAN 10.
  • Assign the port connected to PC3 to VLAN 30.
S1(config)#interface f0/11
S1(config-if)#switchport mode access
S1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
S1(config-if)#interface f0/6
S1(config-if)#switchport mod access
S1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 30

b. Issue the show vlan brief command to verify VLAN configuration.

S1# show vlan brief
VLAN  Name                             Status    Ports
----  -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
1     default                          active    Fa0/1, Fa0/2, Fa0/3, Fa0/4
                                                 Fa0/5, Fa0/7, Fa0/8, Fa0/9
                                                 Fa0/10, Fa0/12, Fa0/13, Fa0/14
                                                 Fa0/15, Fa0/16, Fa0/17, Fa0/18
                                                 Fa0/19, Fa0/20, Fa0/21, Fa0/22
                                                 Fa0/23, Fa0/24, Gig0/1, Gig0/2
10    VLAN0010                         active    Fa0/11
30    VLAN0030                         active    Fa0/6
1002  fddi-default                     active
1003  token-ring-default               active
1004  fddinet-default                  active
1005  trnet-default                    active
Step 3: Test connectivity between PC1 and PC3.

From PC1, ping PC3.

Were the pings successful? Why did you get this result?

The pings were not successful. The PCs are on different IP networks and require a router or a Layer 3 switch to provide communication between them.

Part 2: Configure Subinterfaces

Step 1: Configure subinterfaces on R1 using the 802.1Q encapsulation.

a. Create the subinterface G0/0.10.

  • Set the encapsulation type to 802.1Q and assign VLAN 10 to the subinterface.
  • Refer to the Address Table and assign the correct IP address to the subinterface.
R1(config)# int g0/0.10
R1(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1Q 10
R1(config-subif)# ip address 172.17.10.1 255.255.255.0

b. Repeat for the G0/0.30 subinterface.

R1(config-subif)#int g0/0.30
R1(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1Q 30
R1(config-subif)#ip address 172.17.30.1 255.255.255.0
Step 2: Verify Configuration.

a. Use the show ip interface brief command to verify subinterface configuration. Both subinterfaces are down. Subinterfaces are virtual interfaces that are associated with a physical interface. Therefore, in order to enable subinterfaces, you must enable the physical interface that they are associated with.

R1(config)#interface g0/0
R1(config-if)#no shutdown

b. Enable the G0/0 interface. Verify that the subinterfaces are now active.

Part 3: Test Connectivity with Inter-VLAN Routing

Step 1: Ping between PC1 and PC3.

From PC1, ping PC3. The pings should still fail. Explain.

The switch is not yet configured with a trunk port that is connected to the router.

Step 2: Enable trunking.

a. On S1, issue the show vlan command.

What VLAN is G0/1 assigned to? VLAN 1

b. Because the router was configured with multiple subinterfaces assigned to different VLANs, the switch port connecting to the router must be configured as a trunk. Enable trunking on interface G0/1.

S1(config)#int g0/1
S1(config-if)#switchport mode trunk

How can you determine that the interface is a trunk port using the show vlan command?

The interface is no longer listed in the command output.

c. Issue the show interface trunk command to verify that the interface is configured as a trunk.

S1#show int trunk
Port        Mode         Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
Gig0/1      on           802.1q         trunking      1

Port        Vlans allowed on trunk
Gig0/1      1-1005

Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Gig0/1      1,10,30

Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
Gig0/1      1,10,30
Step 3: Test Connectivity

If the configurations are correct, PC1 and PC3 should be able to ping their default gateways and each other.

What addresses do PC1 and PC3 use as their default gateway addresses?

They use the address of the subinterface.
