Using Show Commands to Investigate Network Status Lab (15 points)

Write a paragraph (minimum five college-level sentences) below that summarizes what was accomplished in this lab, what you learned by performing it, how it relates to this week’s TCOs and other course material, and just as important, how you feel it will benefit you in your academic and professional career. (3 points)

In this weeks ILab I learned how to display the show version commands along with some other commands. In the lab it was required to show the output commands of the router. I had as well work with some of the WAN protocols. This Lab has a bit to do with this weeks TCOs and objectives. One good example of how this weeks lab related to the objective is we were given a virtual but very real topology and monitor the traffic patterns. I strongly believe that this will help me out when working in the technology industry.

Copy and paste the following screenshots from your Using Show Commands to Investigate Network Status lab.

Task 1, Step 2: Paste a screenshot showing the output of the show version command. Remember that when you see the word more at the bottom of the screen it means that you will need to see additional output. Press the space bar until you are back to the user mode prompt.

Managing Remote Access Sessions Lab (15 points)

For this weeks lab all that was required to do was to basically know how to pull up information. The labs objective was to know how to gather the specific status from different routers. I learned how to get the history buffers and the current active telnet sessions. The lab relates to this weeks TCOs in the following ways the switch security had to be configured. Over all the switches needed management configuration.

Copy and paste the following screenshots from your Managing Remote Access Sessions lab below.

Configuring Expanded Switched Networks: VLANS and VTP Lab Grading Rubric

NOTE: Please write your answers to each question in a different color font to make this easier for the Professor to grade.

Configuring Expanded Switched Networks: VLANS and VTP Lab (30 points)

For this ILab all that was needed to do is to configure basic static routers. It was also required to show that they all were communication with one another. This was achieved by sending out a ping to the desired destination and waiting for a status update. Either the ping went thru meaning that there is connection or a false indicating that it never received or was not completed. This is where this weeks Lab relates to the course TCO objective. The problem was to troubleshoot the VLANs and trunk. If everything went well all the steps and ping should be successful. Not only will troubleshooting help me in the networking industry but it will help me in any job that requires critical thinking that’s out side the box.

Copy and paste the following screenshots from your Configuring Static and Default Routes lab below.

Task 1, Step 5: Paste a screenshot after you execute the show vtp status command. (2 points)

Question: What is the current VTP operating mode? What command was used to set it to this mode? (3 points)

*Hint* Read and study the explanations within the lab and course materials for assistance.

Task 1, Step 8: Paste a screenshot after you execute the show interface f1/0/24 switchport command. You will need to make more than one screen capture in order to report all of the output. (2 points)

Question: Which VLAN is used for native trunking? Please provide a brief description of the purpose of native trunking. (3 points)

*Hint* Read and study the explanations within the lab and course materials for assistance.

Task 1, Step 9: Paste a screenshot after you execute the ping 10.5.1.5 command. **Note** You may need to wait up to 60 seconds for the trunk to be established before you have successful pings. (2 points)

VTP and VLANS Lab Grading Rubric

NOTE: Please write your answers to each question in a different color font to make this easier for the Professor to grade.

VTP and VLANs Lab (30 points)

In this weeks ILab what was required was to execute all of the specific commands and after all that to show that all the switches were working properly. This weeks Lab had me working with VTP and VLANs. This weeks TCOs are related to Learn and under stand the VTP concept and there operation. Not only understanding the basics but configuring, troubleshooting, and managing VTPs, and VLANs in a VTP domain. If I ever get a job that has to do with networking or typology all this knowledge that I have learned will be a great help.

Copy and paste the following screenshots from your VTP and VLANs lab below.

Preliminary Discussion

Most of the objectives and operations of the Labs that we have performed up to this point are either pretty obvious prior to the start of the experiment or become clear as you perform the operations; that is not necessarily so with this experiment. Although you would be able to complete the activities by following the recipe, which is the step-by-step method outline within the sample solution, it is quite possible to miss the entire objective of the lab. Before you begin the experiment, I would like to provide you with a description of its method of implementation. To begin, let’s look at the network diagram.

Upon cursory examination of the network, we see that it consists of three switches and three routers. It may not be obvious to you at first, but after you study the experiment you will see that routers NYEDGE2, NYWAN1, and NYACCESS1 represent host devices that are interconnected to the network via NYCORE1 and NYCORE2. Also notice that the hosts are connected to ports on the switch that have been configured in different VLANs with the appropriate IP addresses for their specific VLANs. After you complete all device configurations, NYEDGE1 will be the default gateway for all VLANs and will provide inter-VLAN routing via subinterface configuration. At that point, you should be able to ping from one host (router) to any of the other hosts (routers). The diagram below is a more realistic representation of the network that you are working with. Now that you are a little more familiar with the objectives of the experiment and their methods of component representation, let’s get started.

Task 2, Step 2: After you have executed all of the specified commands at this step in the experiment, enter the following command sequence.

NYCORE1 (config-if)#end

NYCORE1#show vlan brief

Paste a screenshot of the output below. (2 points)

Question: Which port is part of VLAN 4? (3 points)

*Hint* Read and study the explanations within the lab for assistance.

Task 5, Step 1: Paste a screenshot after you execute the show vlan command. ***Note!*** Remember to press the space bar to get additional pages of output when you see the word more at the bottom of your screen. You will need to have additional screen captures in order to report the complete output of the command. (2 points)

Question: Which port is a member of VLAN 2? (3 points)

*Hint* Read and study the explanations within the lab for assistance.

Task 6, Step 2: Paste a screenshot after you execute the ping command. (2 points)

Question: What is accomplished by executing the no ip routing command? What is the purpose of the ip default-gateway command? (3 points)

*Hint* Read and study the explanations within the lab or do some textbook or Internet research for assistance.

Task 9, Step 1: After you have completed all of the commands in this step, click on router NYEDGE1 to establish a console connection. NYEDGE1 appears in the diagram but is already configured for us. It is so important to the operation of the lab that a brief analysis is worth doing. Once you have consoled into the router, execute the following commands.

NYEDGE1 >enable

NYEDGE1 #sh ip route

Paste a screenshot of your output below. (2 points)

Question: What information can be discerned from the route table? (3 points)

*Hint* Read and study the explanations within the lab or do some textbook or Internet research for assistance.
