CCNA Discovery Working at a Small-to-Medium Business or ISP Background / Preparation

In this lab, you connect multiple hosts and a router to the switch and test connectivity. You will configure port security, speed, and duplex settings for a switch port. This lab focuses on the basic configuration of the Cisco 2960 switch using Cisco IOS commands. The Cisco Catalyst 2960 switch comes preconfigured and only needs to be assigned basic security information before being connected to a network. To use an IP-based management product or Telnet with a Cisco switch, you must configure a management IP address. You will configure VLAN 1 to provide IP access to management functions. The information in this lab applies to other switches, however, command syntax may vary.

Required Resources
The following resources are required: Cisco 2960 switch or other comparable switch Router with Ethernet interface to connect to switch Three Windows-based PCs, one with a terminal emulation program RJ-45-to-DB-9 connector console cable Three straight-through Ethernet cables Access to the PC command prompt Access to a PC network TCP/IP configuration

Note: Perform the instructions in the section Erasing and Reloading the Switch at the end of this lab before continuing.

Step 1: Connect the hosts to the switch and configure them.

a. Connect host H1 to Fast Ethernet S1 switch port Fa0/11, and connect H2 to port Fa0/18. Configure the hosts to use the same IP subnet for the address and mask as on the switch, as shown in the topology diagram and table above. b. Do not connect host H3 to the switch yet.

Step 2: Connect the router to the switch and configure the router.
Note: If necessary, see Lab 5.3.5, Configuring Basic Router Settings with the Cisco IOS CLI, for instructions on setting the host name, passwords, and interface addresses. a. Connect the router to switch port Fa0/5. b. Configure the router with the host name CustomerRouter. c. Configure the console access and password, vty access and password, and enable secret password.

d. Configure the router Fa0/1 interface as shown in the topology table.

Step 3: Configure the switch.

a. Configure the switch with the host name CustomerSwitch. Switch>enable Switch#config terminal Switch(config)#hostname CustomerSwitch b. Set the privilege exec mode password to cisco. CustomerSwitch(config)#enable password cisco c. Set the privilege exec mode secret password to cisco123.

CustomerSwitch(config)#enable secret cisco123 d. Set the console password to cisco123. CustomerSwitch(config)#line console 0 CustomerSwitch(config-line)#password cisco123 e. Configure the console line to require a password at login. CustomerSwitch(config-line)#login f. Set the vty password to cisco123. CustomerSwitch(config-line)#line vty 0 15 CustomerSwitch(config-line)#password cisco123 g. Configure the vty to require a password at login. CustomerSwitch(config-line)#login CustomerSwitch(config-line)#end

Step 4: Configure the management interface on VLAN 1.

a. Enter global configuration mode. Remember to use the new password. CustomerSwitch>enable CustomerSwitch#configure terminal b. Enter the interface configuration mode for VLAN 1: CustomerSwitch(config)#interface vlan 1 c. Set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the management interface. The IP address must be valid for the local network where the switch is installed. CustomerSwitch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0 CustomerSwitch(config-if)#exit CustomerSwitch(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.1 CustomerSwitch(config)#end

Step 5: Verify the configuration of the switch.

a. Verify that the IP address of the management interface on the switch VLAN 1 and the IP address of host H1 are on the same local network. Use the show running-configuration command to check the IP address configuration of the switch. CustomerSwitch#show running-configuration Building configuration... Current configuration : 1283 bytes ! version 12.2 no service pad hostname CustomerSwitch ! enable secret 5 $1$XUe/$ch4WQ/SpcFCDd2iqd9bda/ enable password cisco ! interface FastEthernet0/1 ! ! interface FastEthernet0/24 ! interface Vlan1

CCNA Discovery Working at a Small-to-Medium Business or ISP

Alternative Step 9: (Optional)
If you do not have a third PC (host H3) and you are working with a remote lab setup and cannot physically disconnect H2, you may be able to use the following procedure to change the MAC address of the H2. The following procedure works for a wide variety of NICs. a. Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel, and double-click Network Connections. b. Right-click on the NIC for which you want to change the MAC address, and click Properties. c. In the General tab, click the Configure button.

d. In the Advanced tab, under the Property section, click on Network Address or Locally Administered Address. e. On the right side, under Value, type in the new MAC address. Use the original MAC address, but change only the last value. For example, if the original MAC is 000C29C1510A, change it to 000C29C1510B. f. Type c:\>ipconfig /all to verify the changes.

g. From H2, ping the switch VLAN 1 address at 192.168.1.5. c:\>ping 192.168.1.5 h. Record any observations from the PC and switch terminal session. ________________________________________________________________________________
01:11:12: %PM-4-ERR_DISABLE: psecure-violation error detected on Fa0/18, putting Fa0/18 in err-disable state 01:11:12: %PORT_SECURITY-2-PSECURE_VIOLATION: Security violation occurred, cause d by MAC address 000c.3076.8380 on port FastEthernet0/18. 01:11:13: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/18, chang ed state to down 01:11:14: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/18, changed state to down

View the configuration information for just Fast Ethernet port 0/18. CustomerSwitch#show interface fastethernet 0/18

j.

What is the state of this interface? Fast Ethernet 0/18 is ________________, and the line protocol is _____________.

Step 10: Reactivate the port.

a. Clear the sticky address entry for port Fa0/18 using the clear port-security command. S1#clear port-security sticky interface fa0/18 access b. To return the interface from error disable to administratively up, enter the shutdown command followed by the no shutdown command. S1(config)#interface fa0/18 S1(config-if)#shutdown S1(config-if)#no shutdown c. Enter the original host or change the MAC address to its original value. Ping from the command prompt. You can ping multiple times or use the ping 192.168.1.5 n 100 command, which sets the number of ping packets to 100, instead of 4.

Step 11: Set speed and duplex options for the ports.
a. Switch port settings default to auto-duplex and auto-speed. If a computer with a 100 Mbps NIC is attached to the port, it automatically goes into full-duplex 100 Mbps mode. If a hub is attached to the switch port, it normally goes into half-duplex 10 Mbps mode.

b. Issue the show interfaces command to see the setting for ports Fa0/5, Fa0/11, and Fa0/18. This command generates a large amount of output. Press the spacebar until you can see all the information for these ports. What are the duplex and speed settings for these ports? Port Fa0/5 ________________________________ Port Fa0/11 ________________________________ Port Fa0/18 ________________________________ c. It is sometimes necessary to set the speed and duplex of a port to ensure that it operates in a particular mode. You can set the speed and duplex with the duplex and speed commands while in interface configuration mode. To force Fast Ethernet port 5 to operate at half duplex and 10 Mbps, issue the following commands: CustomerSwitch>enable CustomerSwitch#Config Terminal CustomerSwitch(config-if)#interface fastEthernet 0/10 CustomerSwitch(config-if)#speed 10 CustomerSwitch(config-if)#duplex half CustomerSwitch(config-if)#end CustomerSwitch# d. Issue the show interfaces command again. What is the duplex and speed setting for Fa0/5 now? ________________________________

Step 12: Exit the switch.

a. Type exit to leave the switch and return to the welcome screen. Switch#exit b. When the steps are completed, turn off all the devices. Remove and store the cables and adapter.

Step 13: Reflection.

a. Which password needs to be entered to switch from user mode to privilege exec mode on the Cisco switch, and why? ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ b. Which symbol is used to show a successful ping in the Cisco IOS software? ____________________________________________________________________________ c. What is the benefit of using port security? ___________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ d. What other port-related security steps could be taken to further improve switch security? _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________

CCNA Discovery Working at a Small-to-Medium Business or ISP Erasing and Reloading the Switch
For the majority of the labs in CCNA Discovery, it is necessary to start with an unconfigured switch. Using a switch with an existing configuration may produce unpredictable results. The following instructions prepare the switch prior to performing the lab so that previous configuration options do not interfere. Instructions are provided for the 2900 and 2950 series switches. a. Enter privileged EXEC mode by typing enable. If prompted for a password, enter class (if that does not work, ask the instructor). Switch>enable b. Remove the VLAN database information file. Switch#delete flash:vlan.dat Delete filename [vlan.dat]?[Enter] Delete flash:vlan.dat? [confirm] [Enter] If there was no VLAN file, this message is displayed: %Error deleting flash:vlan.dat (No such file or directory) c. Remove the switch startup configuration file from NVRAM. Switch#erase startup-config The responding line prompt is: Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm] Press Enter to confirm. The response should be: Erase of nvram: complete d. Check that the VLAN information was deleted in Step b by using the show vlan command. If the VLAN information was deleted, go to Step e and restart the switch using the reload command. If previous VLAN configuration information (other than the default management VLAN 1) is still present, you must power cycle the switch (hardware restart) instead of issuing the reload command. To power cycle the switch, remove the power cord from the back of the switch or unplug it, and then plug it back in. e. Restart the software using the reload command in privileged EXEC mode. Note: This step is not necessary if the switch was restarted using the power cycle method. 1) At the privileged EXEC mode, enter the reload command: Switch(config)#reload The responding line prompt is: System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: Type n, and then press Enter. The responding line prompt is: Proceed with reload? [confirm] [Enter] The first line of the response is: Reload requested by console. After the switch has reloaded, the line prompt is: Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:

Type n, and then press Enter. The responding line prompt is: Press RETURN to get started! [Enter]

Erasing and reloading the router

a. Enter privileged EXEC mode by typing enable. Router>enable b. In privileged EXEC mode, enter the erase startup-config command. Router#erase startup-config The responding line prompt is: Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm] c. Press Enter to confirm. The response is: Erase of nvram: complete d. In privileged EXEC mode, enter the reload command. Router(config)#reload The responding line prompt is: System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: e. Type n, and then press Enter. The responding line prompt is: Proceed with reload? [confirm] f. Press Enter to confirm. In the first line of the response is: Reload requested by console. After the router has reloaded the line prompt is: Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: g. Type n, and then press Enter. The responding line prompt is: Press RETURN to get started! h. Press Enter. The router is ready for the assigned lab to be performed.
