BCMSN LABS
Lab 1: IOS Switching Initial Configuration
Objective
Become familiar with the lab access menu, learn the lab topology, and provide the switches with
an initial configuration.

Lab Topology
For this lab, your network design will include two pods of devices. You will be responsible for
configuring the devices in both pods. The devices on the left side of the topology are in Pod 1.
The devices on the right side of the topology are in Pod 2. P1PC1 and P2PC2 are PC workstations.
P1ASW1 and P2ASW2 are access-layer switches. P1DSW1 and P2DSW2 are distribution-layer
switches. The access and distribution layers are two of the three layers in the Cisco three-layer
hierarchical network model, which also includes the core layer.
The Topology diagram below represents the NetMap in the Simulator. To access each of the devices from
within the Simulator, select the device name from the appropriate menu in the Simulator. For example,
to access P1ASW1, click the eSwitches button and select P1ASW1 from the drop-down menu.

Lab Tasks
Task 1: Discover Lab Topology and Make Port Assignments
Complete the following diagram with the appropriate port assignments for the devices that you
will be configuring. Use CDP to gather the necessary information.

P1ASW1 P2ASW2

P1DSW1 P2DSW2

Task 2: Reset and Configure Lab Devices

In this lab, you will return all of the devices to a default configuration and apply a basic
configuration.
1. On every device, enter the global configuration mode.
2. Assign a host name to each device, per the network topology diagram.
3. On every device, configure the enable password to cisco.
4. Assign the addresses in the Lab Topology diagram to the appropriate interfaces on each
device. For the ASWs and the DSWs, this will be the VLAN1 interface. The subnet mask
will be 255.255.0.0 for all devices. Be sure to enable the ASW and DSW interfaces.
5. On each device, configure the console port to process logins. Configure a console
password of cisco.
6. On each device, configure vty ports 0 through 4 to process logins. Configure a vty
password of cisco.

7. On each ASW, enable the interface that connects the ASW to the PC router. Set the speed
and duplex to their proper settings. Set a description on each ASW. For instance, set the
following description on P1ASW1: description student P1PC1 on P1ASW1.
8. On each ASW, enable the interfaces that connect the ASW to the DSWs. Set the speed and
duplex to their proper settings. Set a description on each ASW interface. For instance, set
the following description on P1ASW1 fa0/1: description P1ASW1 to P1DSW1.
9. On each DSW, enable the interfaces that connect the DSW to the ASWs. Set the speed and
duplex to their proper settings. Set a description on each DSW interface. For instance, set
the following description on P1DSW1 fa0/1: description P1DSW1 to P1ASW1.
10. Enable the interfaces that connect P1DSW1 to P2DSW2. Set the speed and duplex to
their proper settings. Set a description on each interface. For instance, set the following
description on P1DSW1 fa0/11: description P1DSW1 to P2DSW2.
11. On the ASWs and the DSWs, configure all Fast Ethernet ports to be access ports. Use the
show interfaces status command to verify that interface configurations are correct.
12. On the ASWs, use the following command to verify that switchport configurations are
correct: show interfaces fastethernet 0/1 switchport.
13. On every device, save your configurations to NVRAM.
Note: At this stage in the lab, it is advisable to save all device configurations for later use. To
accomplish this, select the Save Multi Devices Configs menu option from the File menu. Save
these files as Lab 1.
