Learning Objectives
To complete this lab:
- Cable a network according to the topology diagram
- Erase any existing configurations and reload switches and the router to the default state
- Load the switches and the router with supplied scripts
- Find and correct all configuration errors
- Document the corrected network
Scenario
The network has been designed and configured to support five VLANs and a separate server network. Inter-VLAN routing is being provided by an external router in a router-on-a-stick configuration, and the server network is routed across a separate Fast Ethernet interface. However, it is not working as designed, and complaints from your users have not given much insight into the source of the problems. You must first define what is not working as expected, and then analyze the existing configurations to determine and correct the source of the problems.
This lab is complete when you can demonstrate IP connectivity between each of the user VLANs and the external server network, and between the switch management VLAN and the server network.
Task 1: Prepare the Network
Step 1: Cable a network that is similar to the one in the topology diagram.
The output shown in this lab is based on 2960 switches and an 1841 router. You can use any current switches or routers in your lab as long as they have the required interfaces shown in the topology diagram. Other device types may produce different output. Note that Ethernet (10Mb) LAN interfaces on routers do not support trunking, and Cisco IOS software earlier than version 12.3 may not support trunking on Fast Ethernet router interfaces.
Set up console connections to all three switches and to the router.
Step 2: Clear any existing configurations on the switches.
Clear switch configurations on all three switches, and reload to restore the default state. Use the show vlan command to confirm that only default VLANs exist and that all ports are assigned to VLAN 1.
Step 3: Configure the Ethernet interfaces on the host PCs and the server.
Configure the Ethernet interfaces of PC1, PC2, PC3 and the server with the IP addresses and default gateways listed in the addressing table.
Task 2: Load the Router and Switches with Supplied Scripts

Task 3: Troubleshoot and Correct the Inter-VLAN Issues and Configuration Errors
Begin by identifying what is working and what is not. What is the state of the interfaces? What hosts can ping other hosts? Which hosts can ping the server? What routes should be in the R1 routing table? What could prevent a configured network from being installed in the routing table?
When all errors are corrected, you should be able to ping the remote server from any PC or any switch. In addition, you should be able to ping between the three PCs and ping the management interfaces on switches from any PC.
Task 4: Document the Network Configuration
When you have successfully completed your troubleshooting, capture the output of the router and all three switches with the show run command and save it to a text file.
Task 5: Clean Up
Erase the configurations and reload the switches and router. Disconnect and store the cabling. For PC hosts that are normally connected to other networks (such as the school LAN or to the Internet), reconnect the appropriate cabling and restore the TCP/IP settings.
What is broken?
Router 1
– physical interface fa0/1 is not turned on (No subinterfaces will come up until the physical
interface is enabled)
– misconfigured encapsulation on 0/1.30 (none specified)
– wrong VLAN associated with 0/1.10 (11 rather than 10)
– wrong subnet mask on fa0/0 (/26 rather than /24)
Switch 1
– trunking port fa0/4 not turned on
– VLAN 20 has not been created on the server
vlan 20 name Engineering exit
Switch 2
– port fa0/11 assigned to the wrong VLAN
Switch 3
– no management IP address assigned (should be 192.168.99.13)
