Description
Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is to gain experience with the basic steps for configuring a static Virtual
Local Area Network (VLAN) on a Cisco switch using Packet Tracer. In this exercise 2 network switches
with 4 computers on each will be configured with 2 VLANs.
The 2 VLANs will be connected via a trunk
port and all 8 computers will share a single subnet. This lab will utilize the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard ethernet frame and the IEEE 802.1Q standard for VLAN tagging.
In this document you will find the representative diagrams and IP tables needed to create the VLANs.
Before you physically create the VLANs in the lab, you are to model it in CISCO Packet Tracer like you
did in Lab 2-3. Ensure you take screen shots of the completed model, answer the questions, as well as,
upload the Packet Tracer file.
The TA will be available to assist you with this lab.
Supporting concepts for LAB 4:
*Lab 1 – CISCO Packet Tracer Training
*Lab 2 – Build Cat5e Patch-Cable / T568B Pinout
*Lab 3 – Configuration of CISCO Equipment utilizing Console Interface (Putty/xTerm)
Credit for this assignment will require:
1) CISCO Packet Tracer File: CNT4703C-Lab4-[full-name-of-student]
2) Screenshots of Packet Tracer Model
a. Network Topology (Logical)
b. Successful Ping from PC to PC
c. Unsuccessful Ping from PC to PC (between VLANs)
3) Photos of Switch/PC Configuration
a. Switch Command Results
i. #show ip interface
ii. #show vlan
b. Lab computer IPv4 interface configuration
c. Lab computer ICMP results
4) Answers to LAB 5 questions 1-5
