    MD Amin
    This document describes a lab to configure a basic network topology with two switches and two PCs. The objectives are to set up the network topology, configure the PCs with static IP addresses, and configure basic settings on the two switches including IP addresses, passwords, and verifying the connectivity. The steps include connecting the devices, configuring the PCs' IP addresses, configuring the switches individually with IP addresses, passwords, and verifying the connectivity between all devices using ping commands.

    Lab - Basic Switch and End Device Configuration


    Name: Kedar Maxwell

    Addressing Table
    Device Interface IP Address Subnet Mask

    S1 VLAN 1 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0


    S2 VLAN 1 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
    PC-A NIC 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0
    PC-B NIC 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.0

    Objectives
     Set Up the Network Topology
     Configure PC Hosts
     Configure and Verify Basic Switch Settings

    Background / Scenario
    In this lab, you will build a simple network with two hosts and two switches. You will also configure basic
    settings including hostname, local passwords, and login banner. Use show commands to display the running
    configuration, IOS version, and interface status. Use the copy command to save device configurations.
    You will apply IP addressing for this lab to the PCs and switches to enable communication between the
    devices. Use the ping utility to verify connectivity.
    Note: The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other
    switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the
    commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs.
    Note: Make sure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. Refer to Appendix A
    for the procedure to initialize and reload a switch.

    Required Resources
     2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
     2 PCs (Windows with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
     Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
     Ethernet cables as shown in the topology

    Instructions
    Step 1: Set Up the Network Topology
    In this step, you will cable the devices together according to the network topology.
    a. Power on the devices.
    b. Connect the two switches.

    d. Visually inspect network connections.

    Step 2: Configure PC Hosts


    a. Configure static IP address information on the PCs according to the Addressing Table.
    b. Verify PC settings and connectivity.

    Reflection Question
    Why some FastEthernet ports on the switches are up and others are down?
    When switch Fast ethernet port are connected to PC Ethernet0, it will show the connected ethernet ports are
    ‘UP’ while other ports are ‘down’ that means they are not connected.

    Type your answers here.

    What could prevent a ping from being sent between the PCs?
    Situations that can prevent a ping from being sent between the PCs includes wrong IP addresses, powered
    off switch, firewalls and disconnected medias.
