BCMSN LAB 7

Layer 3 Switching

Lab 7: Layer 3 Switching

Objective
Configure DSW switches for routing, and re-address the network for routing.

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 lay-
ers 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.

Command Summary
Command Description
configure terminal enters global configuration mode
enable enters privileged EXEC mode
exit exits from current mode
end returns to privileged EXEC mode
interface fastethernet slot/port enters interface configuration mode for the specified
Fast Ethernet interface
interface vlan interface number enters interface configuration mode for the specified
virtual interface
ip address ip_address subnet_mask assigns an IP address to an interface
ping ip_address sends an ICMP echo request
show ip displays IP configuration
shutdown; no shutdown disables an interface; enables an interface
ip routing enables Layer 3 processing
router protocol enables a routing protocol and defines which net-
network network_address works to route for
no switchport disables Layer 2 on a port
show ip interface displays IP information for an interface
show protocols displays Layer 3 protocols enabled for a device
show ip protocols displays routing protocols enabled for a device
show ip route displays the IP routing table

P2DSW2 INTERFACE VLAN IP ADDRESS

VLAN1 1 172.16.1.200/24
VLAN12 12 172.16.12.200/24

1. On each PC, reconfigure the IP address as shown above.

2. On each PC, configure the default gateway as shown above.
3. On each ASW, configure the VLAN 1 interface with the appropriate IP address, and enable the interface.
Remove all VLAN interfaces except for VLAN 1.
4. On each ASW, configure the appropriate default gateway.
5. On each DSW, configure the VLAN interfaces with the appropriate IP addresses, and enable the inter-
faces.
6. Verify that each PC can successfully ping its default gateway.
7. Attempt to ping the VLAN 1 interface on the ASWs from the PCs. Were the pings successful? Why or why
not?
_________________________________________________________________
8. On each DSW, enable IP routing.
9. On each DSW, use the show protocols command to verify that IP routing is enabled.
10. From P1PC1, attempt to ping the VLAN 1 interface. The ping should now be successful.
11. On the DSWs, display the routing table to verify that all of the VLAN routes are present.
12. From P1PC1, attempt to ping P1PC2. Was the ping successful? Why or why not?
_________________________________________________________________
13. On each DSW, enable EIGRP. Use autonomous system number 100.
14. Display the routing tables on the DSWs to verify that the DSWs have learned the unknown networks.
15. From P1PC1, attempt to ping P2PC2. The ping should succeed. If it does not, try using the clear arp
command to clear P1PC1s ARP cache.
