Objectives
A. Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings
B. Configure Switches with VLANs and Trunking
C. Verify Trunking, VLANs, Routing, and Connectivity
Required Resources
• 1 Router (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)
• 2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
• 2 PCs
• Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
• Ethernet cables as shown in the topology
A. Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings
In Part A, you will set up the network topology and clear any configurations, if necessary.
Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.
Step 2: Initialize and reload the router and switches.
Step 3: Configure basic settings for R1.
a. Console into R1 and enter global configuration mode.
i. Use the ‘show version’ command to Retrieve important hardware and software
information (the name of the IOS image that the router is running, the number of
non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) that the router has, etc.)
ii. Display the start-up configuration.
b. Configure the following on router R1:
i. Assign a device name to the router
ii. Set the router’s domain name as fet-lab.com
iii. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly
entered commands as though they were host names.
iv. Configure the system to require a minimum 5-character password.
v. Set the privileged access password “class”

Objectives
A. Edit the Network and the basic configuration settings of each device.
B. Edit switches configuration Switches (VLANs and Trunking)
C. Configure Trunk-Based Inter-VLAN Routing
Background / Scenario
A second method of providing routing and connectivity for multiple VLANs is through the use of
an 802.1Q trunk between one or more switches and a single router interface. This method is also
known as router-on-astick inter-VLAN routing. In this method, the physical router interface is
divided into multiple subinterfaces that provide logical pathways to all VLANs connected. In this
lab, you will configure trunk-based inter-VLAN routing and verify connectivity to hosts on
different VLANs as well as with a loopback on the router.
A. Edit the Network and the basic configuration settings of each device.
