About this Lab Manual

This is the only authorized Lab Manual for the Cisco Networking Academy CCNP SWITCH
version 7 course.
A CCNP Routing and Switching certification equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to plan,
implement, secure, maintain, and troubleshoot converged enterprise networks. The CCNP Routing and
Switching certification requires candidates to pass three 120- minute exams – ROUTE 300-101, SWITCH 300-
115, TSHOOT 300-135- That validate the key competencies of network engineers .
The Cisco Networking Academy CCNP Routing and Switching curriculum consists of three experience-oriented
courses that employ industry-relevant instructional approaches to prepare students for professional-level
jobs: CCNP ROUTE: Implementing IP Routing, CCNP SWITCH: Implementing IP Switching, and CCNP TSHOOT:
Maintaining and Troubleshooting IP networks:
CCNP SWITCH: Implementing IP Switching

This course teaches students how to implement, monitor, and maintain switching in converged enterprise
campus networks. Student will learn how to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex
enterprise switching solutions. The course also covers the secure integration of VLANs, WLANs, voice and
video into campus networks.
Comprehensive labs emphasize hands-on learning and practice to reinforce configuration skills .
The 15 comprehensive labs in this manual emphasize hands-on learning and practice to
reinforce configuration skills.
Command Syntax Conventions

The conventions used to present command syntax in this book are the same conventions used
in the IOS Command Reference. The Command Reference describes these conventions as
follows:
 Boldface indicates commands and keywords that are entered literally as shown. In
actual configuration examples and output (not general command syntax), boldface
indicates commands that are manually input by the user(such as a show command).
 Italic indicates arguments for which you supply actual values.
 Vertical bars(I) separate alternative, mutually exclusive elements.
 Square brackets ([]) indicate an optional element.
 Braces ({}) indicate as required choice.
 Braces within brackets([{}]) indicate a required choice within an optional element
Lab 1-1 Preparing the Switch 1
Chapter 1: Fundamental Review
Lab 1-1 Preparing the Switch

Topology
Objectives
 Clear the configuration of all the switches in your pod
 Configure the database template used by all the switches in your pod
 Save a baseline configuration for all the switches in your pod
Background
When working with a switch that has been previously configured, any new commands entered will be merged with the
existing configuration, causing unpredictable results. Additionally, If the switch is connected to other
Switches in the network, you can remove the VLANs but they might be relearned from another switch via VTP. In this lab
you prepare a Catalyst 2960 or 3560 switch for use with a lab. This is accomplished by erasing the startup configuration
from NVRAM and deleting the VLAN database. You also ensure that VLANs will not be relearned from another switch
after the VLAN database has been deleted. Additionally, your switch may be required to support IPv6 traffic, which it
does not by default. This is accomplished by changing the database template used by the Switch Database Manager.
Note: This lab uses Cisco Catalyst 3560 and 2960 switches running Cisco IOS 15.0(2) SE6 IP Services and LAN Base
images, respectively. The 3050 and 2960 switches are configured with the SDM templates “dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 routing”
and “lanbase-routing,” respectively. Depending on the switch model and Cisco
2 CCNP SWITCH Lab Manual Version 7
IOS software version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in this lab.
Catalyst 3650 switches(running and Cisco IOS XE release) and Catalyst 2960-Plus switches(running any
comparable Cisco IOS image) can be used in place of the Catalyst 3560 switches and the Catalyst 2960 switches.
Required Resources
You may use one of the following switches or a comparable one with this lab:
 Cisco 2960 with the Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SE C2960-LANBASEK9-M or comparable
 Cisco 3560v2 with the Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SE6 C3560-IPSERVICESK9-M or comparable
 Console cable
 Computer with terminal emulation software
Step 1: Connect to the switch console port and enter privileged EXEC mode.
From a computer running a terminal emulation program, connect to the console port of the switch that you
want to clear using console cable. You should see a console prompt that includes the switch’s hostname
followed by a > or #. The default switch hostname is “Switch.”
Switch>
or
Switch#
If the prompt ends with a >, you are not in privileged EXEC mode. To enter privileged EXEC mode, type enable.
This might require a password. If you are in a configation mode, type exit or end.
If not enabled:
Switch> enable
Switch#
If in global configuration mode:
Switch(config)# exit
Switch#
Step 2: Delete the VLAN database file, if present.
A VLAN database file name vlan.dat might exist in FLASH on the switch if it has been previously used in the
network. This file holds information about VLANs created on the switch, their IDs, name, types and states, and it
also stores the VTP settings. In privileged EXEC mode, type dir or dirFlash: and press Enter. This will provide a
directory listing of the files in FLASH. In particular, note two files in the output: the vlan.dat files that will be
removed in this step, and the multiple-fs file that will be explained and removed later in Step 3.
Switch#dir
Directory of flash:
3 drwx 512 March 1 1993 00:38:22 +00:00 c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.150-2.SE6

560 –rwx 3096 Mar 1 1993 02:55:29 +00:00 multiple-fs
561 –rwx 616 mar 11 1993 23:00:09 +00:00 vlan.dat
In privileged EXEC mode, Type delete flash:vlan.dat or delete vlan.dat (in the shorter form without the flash:
Prefix, the <TAB> key completion does not work) and press Enter. If you are asked to confirm, press Enter until
you are back to the original prompt.
Switch# delete vlan.dat

Delete file [vlan.dat]? ! Press Enter
Delete flash:vlan.dat? [confirm] ! Press Enter
Switch#
Step 3: Erase the startup config from NVRAM.

On Cisco devices, NVRAM is the common location for configuration files. The goal of this step is to entirely erase
the NVRAM contents so that on the next boot, the switch starts in a factory default configuration. There are,
however, a few important facts you need to be aware of.
On the switch platforms used in these labs or similar to those, such as Catalyst 2950,2960, 3550, 3560,
3650,3750 and 3850, the NVRAM contents. In other words, on these switch platforms, the NVRAM is only
simulated using a part of the FLASH, as also evidenced by one of lines in the show version command output:
Switch# show version I include volatile

512k bytes of flash-simulated non-volatile configuration memory
Files that appear to reside in NVRAM (use dir nvram: to display its contents) are in fact stored in FLASH. Some of
them are stored as standalone files in FLASH, such as flash:config.text that maps to nvram:startup-config, or
flash:private-config.text that maps to nvram:private-config and stores sensitive information such as RSA keys,
master password encryption key, and so on. Deleting any of these files from FLASH will cause the corresponding
mapped fille in simulated NVRAM to also be deleted or its apparent length in NVRAM to be truncated to zero,
and vice versa. Other files in NVRAM, such as self-generated X.509 certificates or own directories and files, are
all stored in the flash:multiple-fs file.
The erase startup-config command commonly used to removed the stored configuration will be removed the
flash:config.text and flash:private-config.text. However, other contents of the simulated NVRAM, such as X.509
certificates that were automatically created for the HTTPS server run on the switch, will not be removed as the
reside in the flash:multiple-fs unaffected by the erase-startup-config command. Therefore, to completely erase
the simulated NVRAM contents, not only the erase startup-config command must be issued, but also the
flash:multiple-fs file must be removed.
In privileged EXEC mode, issue the delete flash:multiple-fs (or simply delete multiple-fs) command,
Followed by the erase startup-config command. Press Enter on each prompt.
Switch# delete multiple-fs

Delete filename [multiple-fs]? ! Press Enter
Delete flash:/multiple-fa [confirm] ! Press Enter
Switch# erase startup-config
Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all configuration files! Continue? [confirm]
! Press Enter
[ok]
Erase of nvram :complete
Switch#
*Mar 1 00:43:23.286 %SYS-7-NV_BLOCK_INIT: Initialized the geometry of nvram
Note: Historically, the write erase command was used to erase the startup configuration. This command has the
same effect as the erase start-config command that was implemented in later IOS version, and is still being used
as its shortened version wr e is more convenient to write than erase startup-config.
Step 4: Change the Switch Database template.

The Cisco Switch Database Manager (SDM) provides various TCAM allocation templates that can be enabled to
support specific roles, depending on how the switch is used in the network. By default the switch is using the
“Default Desktop” template. This particular template divides the available TCAM up for use by the different
processes and protocols in a manner that most likely supports standard IPv4 unicast and multicast traffic. Use
the show sdm prefer command to see that details of the current template. Output may differ depending on the
specific switch platform.
Switch# show sdm prefer

The current template is “desktop default” template.
The selected template optimizes the resources in
The switch to support this level of features for
8 routed interfaces and 1024 VLANs.
Number of unicast mac addresses: 6k

Number of IPv4 IGMP groups + multicast routes: 1k
Number of IPv4 unicast routes: 8k
Number of directly-connected IPv4 hosts: 6k
Number of indirect IPv4 routes: 2k
Number of IPv6 multicast groups: 0
Number of IPv6 unicast routes: 0
Number of directly-connected IPv6 addresses: 0
Number of indirect IPv6 unicast routes: 0
Number of IPv4 policy based routing aces: 0
Number of IPv4 /MAC qos aces: 0.5k
Number of IPV4/MAC security aces: 1k
Number of IPv6 policy based routing aces: 0
Number of IPv6 qos aces: 20
Number of IPv6 security aces: 25
Switch#
Notice in the output that there is NO memory allocated to IPv6 operations.
There are several different SDM templates available for use, each with different amounts of TCAM allocated to
different processes and protocols. Use the show sdm prefer template command to examine the details of a
particular database template.

Switch#
Because our switching network will need to support IPv6traffic , the SDM template must be changed to one of
the dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 templates, using the sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 templates global configuration
command.
The template options for dual IPv4 and IPv6 operation vary based on the model of the switch. As of this writing,
the dual-ipv6-and-ipv4 template options on 3560s are default, routing, and VLAN, while the option on 2960s is
default. The 2960’s lanbase-routing template also supports connected ipv6 hosts.
Note: The routing template is not a valid selection on switches running the LANBASE feature set, even though
routing may appear as an option at the command line.
Switch (config)# sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 routing

Changes to the running SDM preferences have been stored, but cannot take effect
until the next reload.
Use ‘show sdm prefer’ to see what SDM preference is currently active.
Switch (config)#
As you see in the preceding output, a restart is required for the change to be effective; the switch cannot re-
allocate the TCAM on the fly. You will restart the switch at the end of this lab.
Configure your 3560 switch for the dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 routing template, and your 2960 switches for the
lanbase-routing template.
Note: Several of the labs in the course end with instructions to reset the switch to its defaults. If you clear the
switch (delete vlan.dat, delete multiple-fs, write erase, reload), the selected SDM template will return to the
default, and could require reconfiguration (including a reboot).
Step 5: Reload the device, but do not save the system configuration if prompted.
After clearing the switch configuration, reload the switch by typing reload and pressing enter. If you are asked
whether to save the current configuration, answer no. Press Enter to Confirm. The switch starts reloading. Your
output might look different depending on the switch model that you are using. This step might take a few
minutes, because the switch needs time to reload.
Switch# reload
System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: no

Proceed with reload? [confirm]
*Mar 11 23:03:06:985: %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested by console. Reload

Reason: Reload Command.
<output omitted>
Step 6: Create a baseline configuration.

To eliminate some of the redundant basic configurations, use a TCL script to build a configuration shell. This can
be customized several ways, but the following basic text creates a file name BASE.CFG in FLASH that can be used
at the beginning of labs after the switch has been completely cleared. This will save some of mundane
configuration steps.
Use the following script and modify it to meet the particulars of the switch you are working on:
Tclsh
Puts [ open “flash:BASE.CFG “ w+ ] {
Hostname DLS1
Ip domain-name CCNP.NET
no ip domain lookup
interface range f0/1-24 , g0/1-2
shutdown
exit
vtp mode transparent
line con 0
no exec-timeout
logging synchronous
exit
end
}
tclquit
STEP 7: Create a script to automate clearing and loading of the switch.

Use TCL one more to create a script to automate the task involved in clearing the switch.
DLS1/DLS2:
tclsh
puts [ open “flash:reset.tcl” w+ ] {
typeahead “/n”
erase startup-config
delete /force vlan.dat
delete /force multiple-fs
ios_config “sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 routing”
typeahead “\n”
puts “Reloading the switch in 1 minute, type reload cancel to halt”
typeahead “\n”
reload in 1 RESET.TCL SCRIPT RUN
}
tclquit
ALS1/ALS2:
tclsh
puts [ open “flash:reset.tcl” w+ ] {
typeahead “\n”
copy running-config startup-config
typeahead “\n”
erase startup-config
delete /force vlan.dat
delete /force multiple-fs
ios_config “sdm prefer lanbase-routing”
typeahead “\n”
puts “Reloading the switch in 1 minute, type reload cancel to halt”
typeahead “\n”
reload in 1 RESET.TCL SCRIPT RUN
}
tclquit
Now for any lab that requires clearing the switch, issue the privileged exec command tclshreset.tcl and the
switch will be completely cleared and reload in the proper state.
Step 8: End of lab.

At this point, your switches should be at a factor default with the BASE.CFG file in FLASH for future use.

Chapter 3: Campus Network Architecture

Lab 3-1 Static VLANS, Trunking, and VTP
Topology
Ojectives
 Set up a VTP v2 domain
 Create and maintain VLANs.
 Configure 802.1Q trunking.
 Set up a VTP v3 domain.
Background
VLANs logically segment a network by function, team, or application, regardless of the physical location of the users. End
stations in a particular IP subnet are often associated with a specific VLAN. VLAN membership.
Trunking, or connecting switches, and the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) are technologies that support VLANs. VTP
manages the addition, deletion, and renaming of VLANs on the entire network from a single switch.
Note: This lab uses Cisco Catalyst 3560 and 2960 switches running Cisco IOS 15.0(2) SE6 IP Services and LAN Base
images, respectively. The 3560 and 2960 switches are configured with the SDM templates “dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 routing”
and “lanbase-routing,” respectively. Depending on the switch model and Cisco IOS Software version, the commands
available and output produced might vary from what is shown in this lab. Catalyst 3650 switches (running any Cisco IOS
XE release) and Catalyst 2960-Plus switches (running any comparable Cisco IOS image ) can be used in place of the
Catalyst 3560 switches and the Catalyst 2960 switches.
Required Resources
 2 Cisco 2960 with the CISCO IOS Release 15.0(2)SE6 C2960-LANBASEK9-M or comparable

Part 1: Prepare for the Lab.

Step 1: Prepare the switches for the lab
Use the reset.tcl script you created in LAB 1-1, “Preparing the Switch” to set your switches up for this lab
Then Load the file BASE.CFG into the running-config with the command copy flash:BASE.CFG running config. An

DLS1#
STEP 2: Configure basic switch parameters.
Configure an IP address on the management VLAN according to the diagram. VLAN 1 is the default
Management VLAN, but following best practice, we will use a different VLAN; in this case, VLAN 99
Enter basic configuration commands on each switch according to the diagram.
DLS1 example:
DLS1# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
DLS1(config)# interface vlan999
DLS1(config-if)#ip address 10.1.99.101 255.255.255.0
CCNP SWITCH Lab Manual Version 7 11
DLS1(config-if)# no shutdown
The interface VLAN99 will not come up immediately, because the broadcast domain it is associated with
(VLAN99) doesn’t exist on the switch. We will fix that in a few moments.
(Optional) On each switch, create an enable secret password and configure the VTY lines to allow remote access
from other network devices.
DLS1 example:
DLS1(config)# enable secret class
DLS1(config)# line vty 0 15
DLS1(config-if)# password cisco
DLS1(config-line)# login
Note: The passwords configured here are required for NETLAB compatibility only and are NOT recommended for
use in a live environment.
Note(2): For purely lab environment purposes, it is possible to configure the VTY lines so that they accept any
Telnet connection immediately, without asking for a password, and place the user into the privileged EXEC mode
directly. The configuration would be similar to the following examples for DLS1
DLS1(config)# enable secret class

DLS1(config)# line vty 0 15
DLS1(config-line)# no login
DLS1(config-line)# privilege level 15
PART 2: Configure VTP Version 2, VLANs, and Trunking.

A VTP domain, also called a VLAN management domain, consists of trunked switches that are under the same
administrative responsibility sharing the same VTP domain name. A switch can be in only one VTP domain, and
VLAN database contents in the domain are globally synchronized. VLAN information is not propagated until a
domain name is specified and trunks are set up between the devices.
There are three versions of VTP available; Version 1 and 2 are able to support normal-range VLANs only, while
version 3 can support normal- and extended-range VLANs, as well as the synchronization of other databases.
Support for version 3 on the Catalyst platform used in this lab was added in IOS version 12.2(52)SE. Older IOS
version do not generally support VTP version 3.
Switched operate in one of four VTP modes. The default VTP mode for the 2960 and 3560 switches is server
mode; however, our Lab 1-1 configuration changes this to transparent.
VTP Mode Description

You can create, modify, and delete VLANs and specify other
VTP Server configurationparameters, such as VTP version and VTP pruning, for the
entire VTP domain, VTP Server advertise their VLAN configuration to other
switches in the same VTP domain and synchronize their VLAN
configuration with the other switches based on advertisements received
over trunk links. VTP server is the default mode.
In VTP Server mode, VLAN configurations are only stored in the

flash:vlan.dat file. While VLANs are manipulated in the configuration
mode, the configuration commands do not appear in the running-config
A VTP client behaves like a VTP server and transmits and receives VTP
VTP Client updates on its trunks, but cannot create, change, or delete VLANs on a VTP
client. VLANs are
configured on another switch in the domain that is in server mode.
In VTP Client mode, VLAN configurations are only stored in the flash:vlan.dat file. The
configuration of VLANs does not appear in the running-config.
VTP Transparent VTP transparent switches do not participate in VTP. A VTP transparent switch does not
advertise its VLAN database nor synchronize its VLAN database based on received
advertisements. However, transparent switches forward received VTP messages under
two circumstances: either the VTP domain name of the transparent switch is empty (not
yet configured), or it matches the domain name in the received VTP messages.
In VTP Transparent mode, VLAN configurations are stored both in flash:vlan.dat file and
also are present in the running-config. If extended range VLANs are used, however, they
are stored in the flash:vlan.dat only if running VTP version 3.
VTP Off A switch in VTP Off mode functions in the same manner as a VTP transparent switch,
except that does not forward VTP advertisements on trunks. VTP off is only available on
switches that support VTP version 3 although it is not necessary to run VTP version 3 on
the switch to be able to put it into the Off mode.
In VTP Off mode, VLAN configurations are stored both the in flash:vlan.dat file and also
are present in the running-config. If extended range VLANs are used, however, they are
stored in the flash:vlab.dat only if the switch is running VTP version 3.
In this lab will demonstrate the configuration and operation of both VTP version 2 and 3. We will do this by first configuring
VTP version 2 between DLS1 and ALS1, and then configuring DLS1, DLS2, and ALS2 with VTP version 3.
Topology
Step 1: Verify VTP status.

Issue the show vtp status command on DLS1:
DLS1# show vtp status
VTP Version capable : 1 to 3
VTP Version running : 1
VTP domain Name :
VTP Pruning Mode : Disabled
VTP Traps Generation : Disabled
Device ID : e840.406f.8b80
Configuration last modified by 0.0.0.0 at 0-0-00 00:00:00
Feature VLAN:
---------------
VTP Operation Mode : Transparent
Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005
Number of existing VLANs : 5
Configuration Revision : 0
MD5 digest : 0x87 0xCD 0x40 0x65 0x63 0x59 0x74 0xBD
0x56 0x9D 0x4A 0x3E 0xA5 0x69 0x35 0xBC
Because no VLAN configurations were made, all settings except the VTP mode that was changed in Lab 1-1 are
the defaults. This switch is capable of running version 1,2, or 3 of VTP and run version 1 by default. All switches
in the VTP domain must run the same VTP version. The VTP mode is set to Transparent as a result of steps
performed in Lab 1. The number of existing VLANs is the five built-in VLANs. Different switches in the Catalyst
family support different numbers of local VLANs. The 3560 switch used in this lab supports a maximum of 1,005
VLANs locally, while the 2960 switch used in this lab supports at most 255 VLANs. Lastly, note that the
configuration revision is 0.
As you should recall from CCNA, the configuration revision number is compared among VTPv1 or VTPv2 switches
and the VLAN databases from the switch with the highest revision number is adopted by all the other switches in
the VLAN management domain. Every time VLAN information is modified and saved in the VLAN database
(vlan.dat), the revision is 0.
In VTPv3, revision numbers are still used but they no longer determine the switch whose database is going to
apply to the entire domain. Instead, a single designated switch in a switch in a VTP domain called the primary
server is allowed to assert its database in the entire VTP domain, even if its own revision number is lower. Other
switches that are not primary servers are not allowed to assert their databases even if their revision numbers
are higher.
Multiple switches in the VTP domain can be in VTP server mode. In VTPv1 and VTPv2, any of these server
switches can be used to manage all other switches in the VTP domain. In VTPv3, a single primary server for a
particular VTP domain is designated to control where changes originate from in the switched network. This
enables careful management and protection of the VLAN database.
Step 2: Configure VTP on DLS1

We will start off this lab by configuring DLS1 for VTP Server mode and setting the VTO domain name and VTP
version 2. We will also set a VTP password, which provides some rudimentary protection against automatic
VLAN database propagation. Because this password is set, VTPv2 will not allow ALS1 to automatically learn the
domain name once trunks are installed.
DLS1# conf t
DLS1(config)# vtp domain SWLAB
Changing VTP domain name from NULL to SWLAB
DLS1(config)# vtp version 2
DLS1(config)# vtp mode server
Setting device to VTP Server mode for VLANS.
DLS1(config)# vtp password cisco123
Setting device VTP password to cisco123
DLS1(config)#
*Mar 1 00:29:10.895: %SW_VLAN-6-VTP_DOMAIN_NAME_CHG: VTP domain name changed
to SWLAB.
Verify these settings by using the show vtp status command again.

VTP Domain Name : SWLAB
Device ID
Local updater ID is 0.0.0.0 (no valid interface found)
Feature VLAN:
VTP Operating Mode : Server
MD5 digest : 0xA7 0xE6 0xAF 0xF9 0xFE 0xA0 0x88 0x6B
0x21 0x6D 0x70 0xEE 0x04 0x6D 0x90
0xF3
Step 3: Configure VLANs on DLS1.

Next configure the VLANs that will be required to support the network. There are two ways to create VLANs either
directly via the vlan command or by assigning an interface to a non-existent VLAN. For now, you will create the VLANs
directly on the switch. Create:
 VLAN 99 to enable the management interface
 VLAN 999 as a “parking lot” VLAN for unused access ports
- Suspend this VLAN to prevent ports in the VLAN from ever communicating with each other.
 The VLANs required for network operation, which are VLANs 100, 110, and 120
Suspending a VLAN deserves a special mention. Each VLAN has an operational state associated with it: it can be either
active (the default state) or suspended. A suspended VLAN exists but it does not operate.
Access ports assigned to a suspended VLAN drop all frames and are unable to communicate, similar to ports put into a
non-existent VLAN. Putting a suspended VLAN back into the active state reinstates normal communication on ports in
the VLAN.
To globally suspend a VLAN, use the state suspend command in the VLAN configuration mode. This state is
propagated by VTP to all other switches in the VTP domain if VTP is in use.
To locally shut down a VLAN, use the shutdown command in the VLAN configuration mode. This setting is not
propagated through VTP.
Do not confuse the shutdown command in the VLAN configuration mode with the same command available
under interface Vlan mode, which has a different and unrelated meaning. Further discussion on suspending and
reactivating VLANs can be found in Part 3, Step 7 of this lab.
DLS1(config)# vlan 99
DLS1(config-vlan)# name MANAGEMENT
DLS1(config-vlan)# vlan 100
DLS1(config-vlan)# name SERVERS
DLS1(config-vlan)# name GUEST
DLS1(config-vlan)# name OFFICE
DLS1(config-vlan)# name PARKING_LOT
DLS1(config-vlan)# state suspend
DLS1(config-vlan)# name NATIVE_DO_NOT_USE
DLS1(config-vlan)# exit
The VLANs will not appear in the VLAN database until the exit command is issued.
After configuring the VLANs, issue the show vtp status command and you will see that the all-important
configuration revision number has increased based on these changes to the VLAN database. Note that the
revision number you have when performing this lab may be different.
DLS1# show vtp status I include Configuration Revision
Configuration Revision
Step 4: Configure trunking on DLS1.
VTP will only propagate information over trunks. Cisco switches support Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP), which
allows automatic negotiation of trunks. The partial output here from ALS1 shows you the default trunking mode:
ALS2# show interface f0/7switchport

Name: Fa0/4
Switchport: Enabled
Administrative Mode: dynamic auto
Operation Mode: down
Administrative Trunking Encapsulation: dot1q
Negotiation of Trunking: On
Access Mode VLAN: 1 (default)
Trunking Native Mode VLAN: 1 (default)
Administrative Native VLAN tagging: enabled
Switches that are interconnected and have DTP enabled can form a trunk automatically if either end is in the
dynamic desirable mode or static trunk mode on the condition that either both switches use the same VTP
domain name or at least one of the switches does not yet have the VTP domain name configured.
The dynamic auto mode on both ends will prevent a trunk from automatically forming; however, this is not
really a valid safeguard against unintentional trunk connections as the port can become a trunk if the other side
changes to dynamic desirable or static trunk mode.
As a best practice you should configure each interface into either access or trunk mode and use the switchport
nonegotiate interface configuration command to disable the propagation of DTP message Never leave ports to
operate in the dynamic mode.
Configure the appropriate interfaces on DLS1 to be trunks.

 Because DLS1 is a 3560, you must first specify the encapsulation protocol for the interface. Catalyst 3560
switches support ISL (Inter-Switch Link) and 802.1Q encapsulations for trunk interfaces. In the topology, all the
trunks are 802.1Q trunks.
 Change the native VLAN from the default of VLAN 1 to VLAN 666
 Set the interfaces to be in trunking mode only. And include the switchport nonegotiate command.
 The no shutdown command is needed because the Lab 1 configuration has all interfaces shutdown.
DLS1(config)# interface range f0/7-12

DLS1(config-if-range)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
DLS1(config-if-range)# switchport trunk native vlan 666
DLS1(config-if-range)# switchport mode trunk
DLS1(config-if-range)# switchportnonegotiate
DLS1(config-if-range)# no shutdown
DLS1(config-if-range)#
By default, all VLANs are allowed on all trunks. You can explicity control which VLANs are allowed on a trunk by
using the switchport trunk allowed vlan vlan-id command on the interface at each end of the trunk.
There are several approaches to deciding what VLANs to allow or disallow to cross the trunk. Common practice
is to disallow VLAN 1 and the PARKING_LOT vlan. You could go a step further and disallow any unused VLAN
numbers, but you would then have to modify all the trunks should you later add a new VLAN to the network.
In this lab, disallowing the PARKING_LOT VLAN from all trunks is not really necessary since the VLAN has been
suspended. Disallowing the VLAN can serve as an additional protection against inadvertent reactivation of this
VLAN.
Disallowing VLAN 1, also referred to as VLAN 1 Minimization, excludes VLAN 1 from the trunk but does not
restrict layer 2 management traffic (such as CDP,LLDP,VTP,STP, and so on) from passing.
Because only these 2 VLANs are being disallowed, the except version of the command can be used:
DLS1(config-if-range)# switchport trunk allowed vlan ?

WORD VLAN IDs of the allowed VLANs when this port is in trunking mode
add add VLAs to the current list
all all VLANs
except all VLANs except the following
none no VLANs
remove remove VLANs from the current list
DLS1(config-if-range)# switchport trunk allowed vlan except 1,999

DLS1(config-if-range)#
Validate these settings by examining the swithport configuration for one of the trunk interfaces:
DLS1# show interface f0/7 switchport

Name: Fa0/7
Switchport: Enabled
Administrative Mode: trunk
Operational Mode: Trunk
Administrative Trunking Ecapsulation: dot1q
Operational Trunkin Encapsulation: dot1q
LAB 3-1 Static VLANS, Trunking, and VTP 17
Negotiation of trunking: Off

Access Mode VLAN: 1 (default)
Trunking Native Mode VLAN: 666 (NATIVE_DO_NOT_USE)
Administrative Native VLAN tagging: enabled
<output omitted>
Trunking VLANs Enabled: 2-998, 1000-4094
<output omitted>
Step 5: Configure VTP and trunking on ALS1.
Next configure VTP and trunking on ALS1. Configure ALS1 to be in VTP Client mode and then configure all of the
appropriate trunk interfaces to use a native VLAN of 666 and to be in trunking mode only. The native VLAN
number does not have to be the same across you network, but it must match between switches on a given
connected trunk. Also, disallow VLANs 1 and 999
ALS1(config)# vtp mode client

Setting device to VTP Client mode for VLANS.
ALS1(config)# interface range f0/7-12
ALS1(config-if-range)# switchport trunk native vlan 666
ALS1(config-if-range)#switchport mode trunk
ALS1(config-if-range)#switchportnonegotiate
ALS1(config-if-range)#switchport trunk allowed vlan except 1,999
ALS1(config-if-range)# no shutdown
ALS1(config-if-range)# exit
ALS1(config)#
After activating the interfaces, use the show interface trunk command to see the status of the trunks. You
should see interfaces Fa0/7 and Fa0/8 in trunking mode.
ALS1# show interface trunk
Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan

Fa0/7 on 802.1q trunking 666
Port Vlans allowed on trunk

Fa0/7 2-998,1000-4094
Fa0/8 2-998,1000-4094
Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain

Fa0/7 99-100,110,120
Fa0/8 99-100,110,120
Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned

Fa0/7 99-100,110,120
Fa0/8 99-100,110,120
ALS1#
Now if you look at the VTP status on ALS1, you will see the values are at their defaults, even though the trunk is
operational. This is because of the VTP password.
ALS1# show vtp status

VTP Domain Name :

VTP Pruning mode : Disabled
Device ID : 0017.95d1.8b80
Feature VLAN:
---------
VTP Operating Mode : Client
MD5 digest : 0x57 0xCD 0x40 0x65 0x36 0x59 0x47 0xBD
0x56 0x9D 0x4A 0x3E 0xA5 0x69 0x35 0xBC
Set the VTP password on ALS1 and the VLAN database will be synchronized. However, before you can set the
password, the VTP domain name must be manually configured.
ALS1# conf t
ALS1(config)# vtp domain SWLAB
ALS1(config)# vtp password cisco123
Setting device VTP password to cisco 123
ALS1(config)# end
*Mar 1 00:27:21.902: %SW_VLAN-6-VTP_DOMAIN_NAME_CHG: VTP domain name changed to
SWLAB
Now check the VTP status and you will see a revision number matching that of DLS1, and that VLANs
99,100,110,120,666, and 999 are all in the local VLAN database.
ALS1# show vtp status

Device ID : 0017.95d1.8b80

ALS1#
VLAN 999 will be missing from the preceding filtered output because it only includes VLANs in active state, and
VLAN 999 is suspended. Using the show vlan brief without filtering would show the vlan 999.
You will also see that the configured VLANs except VLANs 1 and 999 are allowed over the trunks.
ALS1#show interface trunk


Fa0/7 2-998,1000-4094
Fa0/8 2-998,1000-4094

Fa0/8 99-100,110,120,666,999

Fa0/7 99-100,110,120,666
Fa0/8 99-100,110,120,666
ALS1#
You will also see that the state of interface VLAN 99 has changed to “up”.
*Mar 1 00:27:52.336: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface

Vlan99, changed state to up
Because ALS1 is in VTP Client mode, local changes to the VLAN database cannot be made:
ALS1(config)# vlan 199

VTP VLAN configuration not allowed when device is in CLIENT mode.
ALS1(config)#
At this point, VTP version 2 is working and secured between DLS1 and DLS2. You should now be able to ping
DLS2 from DLS1 and vice versa.
Step 6: Park unused interfaces.

On DLS1 and ALS1, place all interfaces that will not be used into the PARKING_LOT VLAN and shut them down.
For this lab, the interfaces being used on all switches are F0/7 through F0/12.
An example from DLS1:
DLS1(config)# interface range f0/1-5,f0/13-24,g0/1-2

DLS1(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
DLS1(config-if-range)# switchport nonegotiate
DLS1(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 999
DLS1(config-if-range)# shutdown
DLS1(config-if-range)# exit
Part 3: Configure VTP Version 3, VLANs, and Trunking.

In this part of the lab you will configure VTP version 3 to operate across the rest of the switched network. VTP
version 3 provides some significant benefits to the network administrator.
 First, the concept of primary server was added. In VTP versions 1 and 2, all VTP server switches are equal; any
one of them may add/remove/rename VLANs and change their state. In VTP version 3, only the primary server
can do this. There can be at most one primary server present in a VTP domain. The role of primary server is a
runtime state. It is not a part of the configuration; rather, this state is requested in privileged EXEC mode and is
relinquished whenever another switch attempts to become the primary server or when the switch is reloaded
 Second, VTP version 3 has the ability to hide the VTP password. On a VTP version 1 or 2 switch, issuing the
command show vtp password will show the password to you in plain text. VTP version 3 allows you to specify
that the password be hidden in the output, preventing the password from being inadvently or maliciously
divulged.
 Third, VTP version 3 can propagate information about extended-range VLANs-VLANs numbered between 1006
and 4094. To support these VLANs with VTP version 2, all switches had to be in transparent mode and the VLANs
had to be configured manually on a switch-by-switch basis.
 Fourth, VTP version 3 only supports pruning for normal-range VLANs.
 Fifth, VTP version 3 support propagating Private VLAN information. As with extended-range VLANS the lack of
PVLAN support in VTP version 2 required all switches to be in transparent mode and manual configuration at
each switch.
 Lastly, VTP version 3 added support for opaque databases. In other words, VTP version 3 can transport more
than just the VLAN database between switches. The only option at this time is to share the Multiple Spanning
Tree (MSTP) database, but room was left for expansion. We will cover MSTP in a later lab.
VTP version 3 is backwards compatible with VTP version 2; at the boundary of the two protocols, a VTP version 3
switch will send out both version 3- and version 2-compatible messages. Version 2 messages received by a version 3
switch are discarded.
Step 1: Configure VTP on DLS1, DLS2, and ALS2.
VTP version 3 cannot be configured unless a VTP domain name has been set, so for this step, setting the domain name is
not needed on DLS1. Configure VTP version 3 using the following parameters:
 VTP domain SWLAB (DLS2 and ALS2 only)
 VTP version 3
 VTP mode server (DLS2 and ALS2 only)
 VTP password cisco123 ( DLS2 and ALS2 only)
DLS1 configuration:
DLS1(config)# vtp version 3
DLS1(config)#
*Mar 1 00:08:17.637: %SW_VLAN-6-OLD_CONFIG_FILE_READ: Old version 2 VLAN
configuration file detected and read OK. Version 3 files will be written in the
future.
DLS1(config)#end
DLS1#
Example configuration on ALS2:
ALS2(config)# vtp domain SWLAB

ALS2(config)# vtp version 3
ALS2(config)# vtp mode server
Setting device to VTP Server mode for VLANS.
ALS2(config)# vtp password cisco123
Setting device VTP password to cisco123
ALS2(config)# end
*Mar 1 18:46:38.236: %SW_VLAN-6-VTP_DOMAIN_NAME_CHG: VTP domain name changed
to SWLAB.
*Mar 1 18:46:38.345: %SW_VLAN-6-OLD_CONFIG_FILE_READ: Old version 2 VLAN
configuration file detected and read Ok. Version 3
Files will be written in the future.
ALS2#
STEP 2: Configure trunking on DLS2 and ALS2
In step 4 and 5 of Part 1, we configured and activated all the trunk interfaces on DLS1 an ALS1. Now configure
and activate all the trunk interfaces on DLS2 and ALS2.
Example from DLS2:
DLS2(config)# interface range f0/7-12

DLS2(config-if-range)# switchport trunk native vlan 666
DLS2(config-if-range)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
DLS2(config-if-range)# switchport mode trunk
DLS2(config-if-range)# switchport trunk allowed vlan except 1,999
DLS2(config-if-range)# no shutdown
DLS2(config)#
Step 3: Verify trunking and VTP on DLS2 and ALS2

Next verify that DLS2 and ALS2 trunking is operational. Here is an example from DLS2:
DLS2# show interface trunk

Fa0/7 on 802.1q Trunking 666

Fa0/7 2-998, 1000-4094
Fa0/8 2-998, 1000-4094
Fa0/9 2-998, 1000-4094
Fa0/10 2-998, 1000-4094
Fa0/11 2-998, 1000-4094
Fa0/12 2-998, 1000-4094

Fa0/7 none
Fa0/8 none
Fa0/9 none
Fa0/10 none
Fa0/11 none
Fa0/12 none

Fa0/7 none
Fa0/8 none
Fa0/9 none
Fa0/10 none
Fa0/11 none
Fa0/12 none
Next, validate VTP is operational. Here is an example from DLS2:

Device ID :e840.406f.7380
Feature VLAN:
------------------------
VTP Operating Mode : Server
Number of existing extended VLANs: 0
Maximum VLAs supported locally : 1005
Primary ID : 0000. 0000. 0000
Primary Description :
MD5 digest :
Feature MST:
------------------------
VTP Operating Mode : Transparent
Feature UNKNOWN:
--------------------------
VTP Operating Mode : Transparent
DLS2#
Notice that the Configuration Revision number is zero and the number of local VLANs is the default of 5.
There has been no update because DLS1’s configuration revision number was reset to zero when the VTP
version was changed, so at this point DLS2 an ALS2 will not learn about the configured VLANs because as far as
they are concerned, they have the same database as DLS1.
DLS1# show vtp | inc Configuration Revision

If we attempt to add VLANs at DLS1, or any of the other VTP version 3 switches, out attempt will not work and
we will be told that we cannot add VLANs.

VTP VLAN configuration not allowed when device is not the primary server for vlan
database.
DLS1(config)#
STEP 4: Configure the primary VTP server.
In a VTP version 3 domain, only the “primary Server” can make changes to the VLAN database. Becoming the
primary server requires the vtp primary privileged EXEC command be executed. When you issue that command,
the switch checks to see if there is another switch acting as primary server already, and asks you to confirm that
you want to continue.
In the preceding output from DLS2, note that the Primary ID field equals 0000. 0000. 0000. That field will display
the base MAC address of primary server once a device is promoted into that role.
Also note that a separate primary server can be configured independently for each feature supported; VLAN or
MST. If no feature is specified, the vlanfeature is assumed.
Lastly, there is a force option that causes the switch not to check for conflicts in the identity of the primary
server. If different switches in the VTP domain identify different switches as the primary server, there is a good
chance there are inconsistencies in the VLAN database.
DLS1# vtpprimary ?
force Do not check for conflicting devices
mst MST feature
vlan Vlan feature
<cr>
DLS1# vtp primary vlan

This system is becoming primary server for feature vlan
No conflicting VTP3 devices found.
Do you want to continue? [confirm]
DLS1#
*Mar 1 00:22:15.634: %SW_VLAN-4-VTP_PRIMARY_SERVER_CHG: e840.406f.8b80 has become the
primary server for the VLAN VTP feature
Now verify the primary on DLS2 or ALS2:
DLS2# show vtp status | i Primary

Primary ID : 001c.0fbf.4700
Primary Description : DLS1
DLS2#
The promotion of DLS1 to primary increments its Configuration Revision number to 1, so the VLANs that were
previously created on DLS1 are propagated to DLS2 and ALS2 automatically.
ALS2# shovlan brief | inc active
1 default active Fa0/1, Fa0/2, Fa0/3, Fa0/4
100 SERVER active
110 GUEST active

120 OFFICE active
VLAN 999 will be missing from the preceding filtered output because it only includes VLANs in active state and
VLAN 999 is suspended. Using the show vlan brief without filtering would show the VLAN 999.
Step 5: Park unused interfaces.
On DLS2 and ALS2, place all interfaces that will not be used into the PARKING_LOT VLAN and shut them
Down. For this lab, the interfaces being used on all switches are F0/7 through F0/12
An example from DLS2:
DLS2(config)# interface range f0/1-5, f0/13-24, g0/1-2

DLS2(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
DLS2(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 999
DLS2(config-if-range)# shutdown
Step 6: Verify VLAN management capatibility.
DLS1 is able to create VLANs, including extended-range VLANs. Note that because ALS1 is running VTP version 2
and its revision number is 6, it will ignore any of the VTP v2 messages sent to it because they have a lower
revision number. When a VTP message with an equal revision numbe but different MD5 checksum is received,
ALS1 will report an error. Here we added seven VLANs and then remove six of them to push the revision number
on DLS1 to 9
DLS1# conf t
DLS1(config-vlan)# name TEST510
DLS1(config-vlan)# name TEST-EXT-1500
DLS1(config)# no vlan 510-514
DLS1(config)# end
DLS1#
ALS1# show vlan brief | i active

1 default active Fa0/6
99 MANAGEMNT active
100 SERVERS active
110 GUEST active
120 OFFICE active
515 TEST515 active
ALS1#
ALS2# show vlan brief | Inc active

100 SERVERS active
110 GUEST active
120 OFFICE active
515 TEST515 active
1002 fddi-default act/unsup
1003 trcrf-default act/unsup
1004 fddinet-default act/unsup
1005 trbrf-default act/unsup
1500 TEST-EXT-1500 active
ALS2#
At this point, you should be able to ping each switch from every other switch.
Step 7: Change the VLAN status to deactivate ports.
As already briefly discussed in Part 2, Step 3 of this lab, the default status of VLAN 1 and user-created VLANs is
“active.” A VLAN can be made locally inactive by entering the global configuration command shutdown vlan
vlan-id, where vlan-id is the number of the VLAN to be shut down.
Alternatively, the VLAN can be shut down by issuing the shutdown command while in VLAN configuration mode
and then exiting.
Both these options are equivalent; however, only the shutdown vlan command works while you’re in VTP Client
mode.
Shut down the Guest VLAN 110 on ALS1, wait a few moments, exit the configuration mode, and then issue the
show vlan brief command. The status should change to “act/Ishut.”
ALS1(config)# shutdown vlan 110
ALS1# show vlan brief
VLAN Name Status Ports

--------- -------------------------------------- ------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
100 SERVERS active
110 GUEST act/lshut

515 TEST515 active
120 OFFICE active
999 PARKING_LOT suspended Fa0/1, Fa0/2, Fa0/3, Fa0/4
Fa0/5, Fa0/13, Fa0/14, Fa0/15
Fa0/16, Fa0/17, Fa0/18, Fa0/19
Fa0/20, Fa0/21, Fa0/22, Fa0/23
Fa0/24, Gi0/1, Gi0/2
1002 fddi-default act/unsup
1003 trcrf-default act/unsup
1004 fddinet-default act/unsup
1005 trbrf-default act/unsup
ALS1#
Reactivate all ports in ALS1 Guest VLAN 110 using the no shutdown command in VLAN configuration mode.
ALS1(config)# no shutdown vlan 110
As discussed and demonstrated in Part 2, Step 3 of this lab, you can put a VLAN into suspended status by using
the state suspend command while in VLAN configuration mode on a VTPv2 server switch or on the
VTPv3 primary server switch. In a mixed VTP version network, the suspension only works network-wide if it
originates from the VTPv3 primary server. Suspending a VLAN causes all ports in that VLAN throughout the VTP
domain to stop transferring data.
Suspend Guest VLAN 110 on DLS1, wait a few moments, exit VLAN configuration mode, and then issue the show
vlan brief I include suspended command. The status should change to show the VLAN as suspended.

DLS1(config-vlan)# state ?
active VLAN Active State
suspend VLAN Suspended State
DLS1(config-vlan)# state suspend
DLS1(config)# end
DLS1#
DLS1# sho vlan brief | include suspended

110 GUEST suspended
DLS1#
Issue the show vlan brief I include suspended command on another switch in the network, and you will see that
VLAN status is suspended as well.
DLS2# show vlan brief | include suspended

110 GUEST suspended
DLS2#
Reactive VLAN 110 using the state active command in VLAN configuration mode.
DLS1(config-vlan)# state active

DLS1(config)#
Issue the show vlan brief I include suspended command on another switch in the network, and you will see that
the VLAN status is no longer listed.
DLS2# show vlan | include suspended

DLS2#
Step 8: End of Lab.

Save your configurations. The equipment should be in the correct end stat from this lab for Lab 3-2,
“EtherChannel.”
