Lab 4.2.5a Connectivity Tests Ping
Objective
Use the ping command to send ICMP datagrams to target host.
Verify that the network layer between source and destination is working properly.
Retrieve information to evaluate the path-to-host reliability.
Determine delays over the path and whether the host can be reached or is functioning.
Use the extended ping command to increase number of packets.
The ping command is a good tool for troubleshooting Layers 1 though 3 of the OSI model and
diagnosing basic network connectivity. Using ping sends an ICMP packet to the specified device
(workstation, server, router or switch) and then waits for a reply. The IP address or host name can be
pinged. In order to ping the host name of a router, there must be a static host lookup table in the
router or a DNS server for name resolution to IP addresses.
Cable a network similar to the one in the diagram. Any router that meets the interface requirements
may be used. Possible routers include 800, 1600, 1700, 2500, 2600 routers, or a combination. Refer
to the chart at the end of the lab to correctly identify the interface identifiers to be used based on the
equipment in the lab. The configuration output used in this lab is produced from 1721 series routers.

Lab 7.2.9 Load Balancing Across Multiple Paths
Objective
Configure Load balance across multiple paths.
Observe the load balancing process.
displayed in the above diagram, such as 800, 1600, 1700, 2500, and 2600 routers, or a combination,
otherwise.
1-5
Step 1 Configure the hostname and passwords on the routers

a. On the routers, enter the global configuration mode and configure the hostname as shown in the
chart. Then configure the console, virtual terminal, and enable passwords. If there are problems
doing this, refer to the Configuring Router Passwords lab. Next configure the interfaces and
routing according to the chart. If there are problems doing this, refer to the Configuring Host
Tables lab and the Configuring RIP lab. Make sure to copy the running-config to the
startup-config on each router so the configuration will not be lost if the router is powercycled.
a. Test the configuration by pinging all interfaces from each host. If the pinging is not successful
troubleshoot the configuration.
Step 3 Check Basic Routing Configuration

a. Enter show ip protocol command on each router.
b. In the configuration, is "Routing protocol is RIP" displayed?
_____________________________________
c.
Enter the command show ip route on both routers. List how the route is connected (directly,
RIP), the IP address and via through what network. There should be four routes in each table.
GAD
Route connected
IP address
Through Network / Interface
BHM
Route connected
IP address
Through Network / Interface
d. Circle the evidence of load balancing in the above output.
Step 4 Make sure that the router load balance is on a per-packet basis
a. Configure the router to load balance on a per-packet basis. Both serial interfaces must use
process switching. Process switching forces the router to look in the routing table for the
destination network of each routed packet. In contrast, fast-switching, which is the default, stores
the initial table lookup in a high-speed cache and uses the information to route packets to the
same destination.
b. Enable process switching on both serial interfaces:
GAD(config-if)# no ip route-cache
BHM(config-if)# no ip route-cache
e. Verify that fast switching is disabled by using the show ip interface command.
f.
2-5
Was fast switching disabled? ______________________________________
Step 5 Verify per-packet load balancing

a. Because there are two routes to the destination network, half the packets will be sent along one
path, and half will travel over the other. The path selection alternates with each packet received.
b. Observe this process by using the debug ip packet command on the GAD.
c.
Send 30 ping packets across the network from the host attached to BHM router to the host
attached to the GAD router. This can be done with the ping 192.168.16.2 n 30
command on the host. As the pings are responded to the router generates IP packet information.
Stop the debug by using the command undebug all on the GAD router.
d. Examine and record part of the debug output.

e. What is the evidence of load balancing in the output? _______________________________
Step 6 Verify per-destination load balancing

a. After verifying per-packet load balancing, configure the router to use per-destination load
balancing. Both serial interfaces must use fast switching so that the route-cache can be used
after the initial table lookup.
b. Use the command GAD(config-if)#ip route-cache.
c.
Use the show ip interface to verify that fast switching is enabled.
d. Is fast switching enabled? ______________________________________

e. The routing table is consulted only once per destination, therefore, packets that are part of a
packet train to a specific host will all follow the same path. Only when a second destination
forces another table lookup or when the cached entry expires will the alternate path be used.
Use the debug ip packet command and ping across the network. Note which serial
interface the packet was sent out on.
f.
Examine and record part of the debug output. Which serial interface was the packet sent out on?

In order to find out exactly how the router is configured, look at the interfaces. This will identify the type of router
as well as how many interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all of the combinations of
configurations for each router class. What is provided are the identifiers for the possible combinations of interfaces
in the device. This interface chart does not include any other type of interface even though a specific router may
contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation
that can be used in IOS command to represent the interface.

c.
What is the default priority of the interface? _______________________________________
d. What is the network type of the interface? ________________________________________
Step 15 Configure London to always be the DR

To ensure that the London router always becomes the DR for this multi-access segment, the OSPF
priority must be set. London is the most powerful router in the network and so best suited to become
DR. To assign the London loopback a higher IP address is not advised, as the numbering system
has advantages for troubleshooting. Also London is not to act as DR for all segments to which it may
belong. Set the priority of the interface to 50 on the London router only.
London(config)#interface Fastethernet 0/0
London(config-if)#ip ospf priority 50
London(config-if)#end
Display the priority for Interface fastethernet 0/0.

Erasing and Reloading the Switch

For the majority of the labs in CCNA 3 and CCNA 4 it is necessary to start with an unconfigured
switch. Use of a switch with an existing configuration may produce unpredictable results. These
instructions allow preparation of the switch prior to performing the lab so previous configuration
options do not interfere. The following is the procedure for clearing out previous configurations and
starting with an unconfigured switch. Instructions are provided for the 2900, 2950, and 1900 Series
switches.
2900 and 2950 Series Switches

Lab 9.1.5b Trunking with 802.1q
Objective
Create multiple VLANs, name them, and assign multiple member ports to them.
Create an 802.1q trunk line between the two switches to allow communication between paired
VLANs.
Test the VLANs functionality by moving a workstation from one VLAN to another.
Trunking changes the formatting of the packets. The ports need to be in agreement as to which
format is being used to transmit data on the trunk or no data will be passed. If there is different
trunking encapsulation on the two ends of the link they will not able to communicate. Similar situation
will occur if one of the ports is configured in trunking mode (unconditionally) and the other one is in
access mode (unconditionally).

Lab 9.2.5 VTP Client and Server Configurations
Objective
Create multiple VLANs, name them and assign multiple member ports to them.
Configure the VTP protocol to establish Server and client switches.
Create an 802.1q trunk line between the two switches to allow communication between paired
VLANs.
Then test the VLANs functionality by moving a workstation from one VLAN to another.
to VLAN 1 by default.
Cable a network similar to the one of in diagram. The configuration output used in this lab is
1-8

Configure the hostname, access, and command mode passwords, as well as the management LAN

Configure the IP address, mask, and default gateway on each host. Be sure to choose addresses
that are on the same subnet as the switch.

a. To verify that the host and switch are correctly configured, ping the switch from the hosts.
c.
If the answer is no, troubleshoot the host and switches configurations.

On Switch_A, type the command show vlan at the Privileged EXEC prompt as follows:
Switch_A#show vlan
Note: There should be an entry for VLAN 1 and the default VLANs (1002 +). If other VLANs appear,
they could be deleted as instructed in Step 2 of the Erasing and Reloading instructions at the end of
this lab or refer to the Lab Exercise: Deleting VLAN Configurations.
Step 5 Configure VTP

a. VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) needs to be configured on both switches. VTP is the protocol that
will communicate information about which VLANs exist from one switch to another. If VTP did
not provide this information, VLANs would have to be created on all switches individually.
b. By default, the Catalyst switch series are configured as VTP servers. In the event that the server
services are turned off, use the following command to turn it back on:
Switch_A(vlan)#vtp server
Switch_A(vlan)#vtp domain group1
Switch_A(vlan)#exit
Step 6 Create and name three VLANs

Enter the following commands to create and name three VLANs:
Switch_A(vlan)#vlan 10 name Accounting
Switch_A(vlan)#vlan 20 name Marketing
Switch_A(vlan)#vlan 30 name Engineering
Switch_A(vlan)#exit
Use the show vlan command to verify that the VLANs have been created correctly.

Switch_B(vlan)#vtp domain group1
Switch_B(vlan)#exit

On both switches, Switch_A and Switch_B, type the following command at the fastethernet 0/1
interface command prompt. Note that it is not necessary to specify the encapsulation on a 2950,
since it only supports 802.1Q.
2900:
Switch_B(config)#interface fastethernet0/1
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Step 13 Verify the trunk

a. To verify that port fastethernet 0/1 has been established as a trunk port, type show interface
fastethernet 0/1 switchport at the Privileged EXEC mode prompt
b. What type of trunking encapsulation is shown on the output results? ____________________

a. On Switch_B, type the command show vlan at the Privileged EXEC prompt as follows:
Switch_B#show vlan

c.
4-8
Why did this happen? ______________________________________________________
Step 15 Assign ports to a VLAN 10

Although the VLAN definitions have migrated to Switch_B using VTP, it is still necessary to assign
ports to these VLANs on Switch_B. Assigning ports to VLANs must be done from the interface mode.
Enter the following commands to add ports 0/4 to 0/6 to VLAN 10.
Switch_B#configure terminal
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
