Lab 3 VLAN Configuration

Lab Section: Router and Switch

Lab Title: VLAN Configuration

Purpose:

1. Understand how to setup VLAN.

Preparation:

1. Basic command of switch: enable, config terminal, hostname, banner, exit, end, show, no, etc.

2. 3 ways to create VLAN: Privileged EXEC mode (vlan database); Global Configuration Mode (vlan vlanid); Interface Configuration Mode (config-if)

Topological

Require

1. Technical Support Team: Vlan name is Tech, Vlanid=100, Description: For Technical Support team

2. Accountant Department: Vlan name is Account, Vlanid=200, Description: For Accountant department

3. Customer Service Department: Vlan name is Customer, Vlanid=300, Description: For Customer Service Department

Procedure:

1. Setup hostname, banner and password:

Switch>en

Switch#conf t

Switch(config)#hostname SW1

SW1(config)#banner motd $

Enter TEXT message. End with the character '$'.

Welcome to Valute IT Virtual Lab$

SW1(config)#enable password cisco

SW1(config)#enable secret cisco12345

SW1(config)#exit

2. Create vlan in Privileged EXEC mode

SW1#vlan database

SW1(vlan)#vlan 100 name Tech

SW1(vlan)#exit

SW1#show vlan

3. Create vlan in Global configuration mode:

SW1#conf t

SW1(config)#vlan 200

SW1(config-vlan)#name Account

SW1(config-vlan)#end

SW1#show vlan

4. Create vlan in Interface configuration mode:

SW1#conf t

SW1(config)#interface f0/3

SW1(config-if)#switchport mode access

SW1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 300

% Access VLAN does not exist. Creating vlan 300

SW1(config-if)#no shutdown

SW1(config-if)#end

SW1#show vlan

5. Setup the vlan description:

SW1#conf t

SW1(config)#interface vlan 100

SW1(config-if)#description ?

SW1(config-if)#description For Technical Support team

SW1(config-if)#no shutdown

SW1(config-if)#exit

SW1(config)#interface vlan 200

SW1(config-if)#description For Accountant department

SW1(config-if)#no shutdown

SW1(config-if)#exit

SW1(config)#interface vlan 300

SW1(config-if)#description For Customer Service Department

SW1(config-if)#exit

6. Change vlan name:

SW1(config)#vlan 300

SW1(config-vlan)#name Customer

SW1(config-vlan)#end

SW1#show vlan

7. Assign switch port to vlan:

SW1#conf t

SW1(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/1

SW1(config-if)#switchport mode access

SW1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 100

SW1(config-if)#no shutdown

SW1(config-if)#exit

SW1(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/2

SW1(config-if)#switchport mode access

SW1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 200

SW1(config-if)#no shutdown

SW1(config-if)#exit

8. Setup trunk port, this port is used to connect to other switch

SW1(config)#interface f0/24

SW1(config-if)#switchport mode trunk

SW1(config-if)#no shutdown

SW1(config-if)#end

SW1#show running-config

9. Do the exactly same steps with Switch 2 (except hostname).

10. Setup the PCs’ IP address (refer to the topologic graph above).

11. Use “ping” to verify the isolation.
