Lab 2.1 Subnet Design
Starting Design
to go into config mode you have to do enable and then config
Configure Edge Switches
Add vlans to the vlan database
100 (FacStaff) and 110 (Student) to all
130 (StuLab1) in East-02 switch only
140 (Stulab2) in West-02 switch
east-ew-01>enable
east-ew-01#configure terminal
east-ew-01 (config) #vlan 100
east-ew-01 (config-vlan)# name FacStaff
east-ew-01 (config-vlan)# vlan 110
east-ew-01 (config-vlan)# name StudentAll edge switches assigned VLAN 100 (FacStaff) on ports 4-12
All edge switches assigned VLAN 110 (student) on ports 13-20
East-Edge-02 assigned VLAN 130 (Lab1) on ports 21-24
West-Edge-02 assigned VLAN 140 (Lab2) on ports 21-24
(config)interface range FastEthernet 0/x-y (let's you configure multiple ports at one time)
(config-if-range)switchport access vlan x (defines the vlan for all ports in the range)Assigning VLANs to certain ports means that only the VLAN that is assigned to a port will work. If you look at the ports you assigned on the switch in the GUI you will see that ports 4-12 are assigned to VLAN 100, and that any other port is not. If you put a device on a port not meant for its VLAN it will cause issues in your network and you probably won't be able to ping.
Configure End User Devices
Assign FacStaff PC's IP from VLAN 100 (make sure netmask and gateway are correct)
Assign Student PC's IP's from VLAN 110
Assign Lab PC's appropriate IP's from VLAN 110
Assign Lab PC's appropriate IP's
Connect Devices to Edge Switch
Connect devices with Copper to appropriate ports
Verification that step 1 is complete:
Ping devices on same vlans or different switch
not able to ping different vlans or different switch
Configuring Trunking
Configure trunk ports for Core switches
add vlans 100, 110, 130 and 140 to the vlan database on Core
Configure FastEthernet 0/1 and 0/2 as trunk ports for the appropriate Vlans
east-csw-01>enable
east-csw-01#configure terminal
east-csw-01 (config)#vlan 100
east-csw-01 (config-vlan)#name FacStaff
east-csw-01 (config-vlan)#vlan 110
east-csw-01 (config-vlan)#name Student
east-csw-01 (config-vlan)#vlan 130
east-csw-01 (config-vlan)#name StuLab1
east-csw-01 (config-vlan)#vlan 140
east-csw-01 (config-vlan)#name StuLab2
east-csw-01 (config-vlan)#endConfigure trunk ports on Edge switches
Configure FastEthernet 0/1 as trunk port for the appropriate vlans
east-ew-01>enable
east-ew-01#configure terminal
east-ew-01 (config)#interface FastEthernet0/1
east-ew-01 (config-if)#switchportmode trunk
east-ew-01 (config-if)#switchport trunk allowed vlan add 100
east-ew-01 (config-if)#switchport trunk allowed vlan add 110
east-ew-01 (config-if)#switchport trunk allowed vlan add 130
east-ew-01 (config-if)#switchport trunk allowed vlan add 140Connect Edge Switches to Core
Create cross-over cable connection between edge switch and core switch trunk ports
Verification: you should be able to ping between two systems on the same VLAN on different switches
Enale Routing
The core switches are multi-layer and can route
We will use the EAST-Core switch as the router
Enable routing on the East-core switch
Assign the router addresses from the table in step 1 to:
VLANS: 100, 110, 130, 140 to East-Core
Useful Commands:
(config)ip routing (turns on routing on multilayer switches)
(config)interface vlan 100 (brings you into vlan interface config mode)
(config-if)ip address 10.25.100.1 255.255.255.0 (set the ip address of 10.25.100.1 for vlan 100 on a routing switch)
NOTE: This only needs to be set on the router-switch acting as the gateway for the vlanVerification: You should now be able to ping between two systems on different VLANs in EAST
Configure East-West Trunk
Configure Gigabit Ethernet 0/1 on both East and West core switches as trunk ports for defined vlans
Copper "cross-over" connector to connect those trunk ports
Verification: You should be able to ping between all devices!
