Objectives
- Part 1: Locate Network Problems
- Part 2: Implement the Solution
- Part 3: Verify Network Connectivity
Scenario
In this activity, you will troubleshoot connectivity problems caused by improper configurations related to VLANs and inter-VLAN routing.
Instructions
Part 1: Locate the Network Problems
Examine the network and locate the source of any connectivity issues.
Commands you may find useful include:
R1# show ip interface brief

GigabitEthernet0/1 unassigned YES unset up up

- Test connectivity and use the necessary show commands to verify configurations.
- Verify that all configured settings match the requirements shown in the Addressing Table.
- List all of the problems and possible solutions in the Documentation Table.
Documentation Table
| Problems | Solutions |
|---|---|
| The G0/1 physical interface is up but G0/1.10 subinterface is administratively down. | Implement the no shutdown command to enable the G0/1.10 subinterface. |
| PC3 is configured with the wrong default gateway address. | Change the default gateway on PC3 from 172.17.10.1 to 172.17.30.1. |
| Interface G0/1 on S1 is configured as an access port instead of trunk port. | Use the command switchport mode trunk to change the interface from access mode to trunk mode. |
| Subinterface VLAN assignments are switched on R1. The configured assignments do not match the ones shown in the Addressing Table. | Issue the no encapsulation dot1q command to remove the incorrect configuration. Then configure the subinterfaces with the correct encapsulation dot1q vlan_number command. Re-enter the correct IP address information. |
Part 2: Implement the Solutions
Implement your recommended solutions.
Problem 1: Enable the G0/1.10 subinterface on R1.
R1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1.10 R1(config-subif)# no shutdown
Problem 2: Change the default gateway on PC3 from 172.17.10.1 to 172.17.30.1.

Problem 3: Configure G0/1 on S1 as a trunk port.
S1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1 S1(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Problem 4: Correct the swapped subinterface VLAN assignments on R1. Remove the encapsulation from both subinterfaces first; otherwise IOS rejects the new VLAN ID because it is still in use on the other subinterface.
R1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1.10 R1(config-subif)# no encapsulation dot1Q R1(config-subif)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1.30 R1(config-subif)# no encapsulation dot1Q R1(config-subif)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1.10 R1(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1Q 10 R1(config-subif)# ip address 172.17.10.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-subif)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1.30 R1(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1Q 30 R1(config-subif)# ip address 172.17.30.1 255.255.255.0
Part 3: Verify Network Connectivity
Verify the PCs can ping each other and R1. If not, continue to troubleshoot until the pings are successful.
C:\> ping 172.17.10.1 C:\> ping 172.17.30.10
C:\> ping 172.17.30.1 C:\> ping 172.17.10.10
