Part 4: Configure Inter-VLAN Routing on the Router
Part 5: Verify Inter-VLAN Routing is working

Background / Scenario
Modern switches use virtual local-area networks (VLANs) to improve network performance by separating
large Layer 2 broadcast domains into smaller ones. VLANs can also be used as a security measure by
separating sensitive data traffic from the rest of the network. In general, VLANs make it easier to design a
network to support the goals of an organization. Communication between VLANs requires a device operating
at Layer 3 of the OSI model. Adding an inter-VLAN router allows the organization to segregate and separate
broadcast domains while simultaneously allowing them to communicate with each other.
VLAN trunks are used to span VLANs across multiple devices. Trunks allow the traffic from multiple VLANs to
travel over a single link, while keeping the VLAN identification and segmentation intact. A particular kind of
inter-VLAN routing, called “Router-on-a-Stick”, uses a trunk from the router to the switch to enable all VLANs
to pass to the router.
In this lab, you will create VLANs on both switches in the topology, assign VLANs to switch access ports,
verify that VLANs are working as expected, create VLAN trunks between the two switches and between S1
and R1, and configure Inter-VLAN routing on R1 to allow hosts in different VLANs to communicate, regardless
of which subnet the host resides.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4
(universalk9 image). The switches used in the labs are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)
(lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model
and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in
the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of the lab for the correct interface identifiers.
Note: Ensure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are
unsure contact your instructor.

f. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login.
g. Assign cisco as the vty password and enable login.
h. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.

Step 4: Configure PC hosts.

Refer to the Addressing Table for PC host address information.

Part 2: Create VLANs and Assign Switch Ports

In Part 2, you will create VLANs as specified in the table above on both switches. You will then assign the
VLANs to the appropriate interface and verify your configuration settings. Complete the following tasks on
each switch.

Step 1: Create VLANs on both switches.

a. Create and name the required VLANs on each switch from the table above.

Open configuration window

b. Configure the management interface and default gateway on each switch using the IP address
information in the Addressing Table.

c. Assign all unused ports on the switch to the Parking_Lot VLAN, configure them for static access mode,
and administratively deactivate them.
Lab - Implement Inter-VLAN Routing

Note: The interface range command is helpful to accomplish this task with as few commands as necessary.

Step 2: Assign VLANs to the correct switch interfaces.

a. Assign used ports to the appropriate VLAN (specified in the VLAN table above) and configure them for
static access mode.

b. Verify that the VLANs are assigned to the correct interfaces.

Part 3: Configure an 802.1Q Trunk Between the Switches

In Part 3, you will manually configure interface F0/1 as a trunk.

Step 1: Manually configure trunk interface F0/1 on switch S1 and S2.

a. Configure static trunking on interface F0/1 for both switches.

Open configuration window

b. Set the native VLAN to 1000 on both switches.

Lab - Implement Inter-VLAN Routing

c. Specify that VLANs 10, 20, 30, and 1000 are allowed to cross the trunk.

d. Verify trunking ports, the Native VLAN and allowed VLANs across the trunk.

Step 2: Manually configure S1’s trunk interface F0/5

a. Configure S1’s interface F0/5 with the same trunk parameters as F0/1. This is the trunk to the router.

b. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.

c. Verify trunking.

b. Configure sub-interfaces for each VLAN as specified in the IP addressing table. All sub-interfaces use
802.1Q encapsulation. Ensure the sub-interface for the native VLAN does not have an IP address
assigned. Include a description for each sub-interface.

c. Verify the sub-interfaces are operational

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table 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
Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
