Lab Tasks
Task 1: Determine Network Status
Switch CSW1 has failed, and you are replacing it with a spare switch that has been removed from another
network. In this task, you will determine the state of the network switches.
1. What is the state of the interfaces on each switch on the network? __________________________
2. What is the VTP status of each switch on the network? __________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________
3. You should be able to determine that the FastEthernet and GigabitEthernet interfaces on CSW1
have all been administratively shut down. If you enable the interfaces on CSW1, what will occur to
the configurations on other switches in the network? _____________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
4. Why does the VTP mode matter when a switch is being added to an existing network? _________
5. Describe the different VTP modes, and explain why they are relevant when a switch is being added
to an existing network. ____________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
6. What is the VTP revision number on CSW1, and how is it significant? _______________________
______________________________________________________________________________
7. Are all of the switches in the network configured to use the same VTP mode? _________________
8. What is the VTP revision number on ASW1 and ASW2? __________________________________
9. Is the revision number synchronized between switches in the same VTP domain? _____________
10. How many VLANs are configured on the switches on the network? _________________________
Fill in the table below with the number of VLANs on each device.
ASW1 ASW2 DSW1 DSW2 CSW1 CSW2

Task 2: Optimize Switch Configurations
When you have completed this task, you should be able to add a VLAN to a switch that is centrally located
in the topology and the VLAN should propagate to the other network switches. Because DSW1 is centrally
located, it should be the primary switch where VLAN changes are configured. You should configure the
other switches on the network so that they will receive VLAN updates from DSW1 and so that VLANs
cannot be added locally on the other switches. All switches on the network should have the same VLAN
configuration as that currently configured on DSW1.
1. Which VLANs are configured on DSW1? ______________________________________________
2. Configure DSW1 to become the source of VLAN propagation for the other switches in the network.
3. Now that DSW1 is the switch where VLAN configurations will be performed, which other network
switches require configuration changes in order for the network to be optimized? ______________
4. What is the VTP mode of ASW1 and ASW2? __________________________________________
5. How many VLANs are configured on ASW1 and ASW2? _________________________________
6. If you change the VTP mode on ASW1 and ASW2 to client mode, will ASW1 and ASW2 synchronize
VLAN information with DSW1? _____________________________________________________
7. Configure ASW1 so that it will synchronize VLAN information with DSW1.
8. Configure ASW2 so that it will synchronize VLAN information with DSW1.
9. Verify that ASW1 and ASW2 have the same VLAN configuration as DSW1.
10. Enable the interfaces on CSW1.
11. Did CSW1 synchronize VLAN information with DSW1 or any of the other switches on the network?
12. Configure CSW1 to synchronize VLAN information with DSW1.
13. If you added a VLAN to DSW2, would the VLAN be added to other switches on the network? ____
Would the new VLAN propagate to CSW2? ____________________________________________
14. Configure the appropriate devices so that DSW2 and CSW2 are able to synchronize VLAN
information with DSW1 but VLAN changes are prevented from the console of DSW2 or CSW2.
15. On DSW1, add VLAN 21.
16. Verify that VLAN 21 was added to all other switches on the network.
Once you have completed this lab, be sure to check your work by using the grading function.
You can do so by clicking the Grade Lab icon ( ) in the toolbar or by pressing Ctrl+G.

Lab Solutions
Task 1: Determine Network Status
1. You should issue the show ip interface brief command on each switch in the network to determine
the state of the interfaces. The following sample output is from CSW1 and CSW2:
CSW1#show ip interface brief

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Vlan 1 192.168.1.2 YES unset up down
FastEthernet0/1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
GigabitEthernet0/1 unassigned YES unset down down
CSW2#show ip interface brief

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Vlan 1 192.168.1.13 YES unset up up
FastEthernet0/1 unassigned YES unset up up
FastEthernet0/2 unassigned YES unset down down

2. You should issue the following command to determine the VTP status of each switch in the network.
Sample output from CSW1 and CSW2 is below:
CSW1#show vtp status

VTP Version : 2
Configuration Revision : 8
Maximum VLANs supported locally : 64
Number of existing VLANs : 13
VTP Operating Mode : Server

VTP Domain Name : cisco
VTP Pruning Mode : Disabled
VTP V2 Mode : Disabled
VTP Traps Generation : Disabled
MD5 digest : 0xEE 0xB3 0xDC 0x9F 0xE2 0xE0 0x25 0xDF
Configuration last modified by 0.0.0.0 at 3-1-2012 04:55:57
Local updater ID is 0.0.0.0 (no valid interface found)
CSW2#show vtp status

VTP Version : 2
VTP Operating Mode : Client

3. If you enable the interfaces on CSW1, CSW2 will synchronize VLAN information with CSW1
because these two switches are configured with the same VTP domain name and password. CSW2
is configured as a VTP client and has a lower VTP revision number than CSW1; therefore, CSW2
will inherit the VLANs configured on CSW1. All other switches in the network are configured with a
different VTP domain name than CSW1, or they are configured to operate in VTP transparent mode
and will not be affected when the interfaces on CSW1 are enabled.
4. VTP mode matters because, when a switch is added to an existing network, VLAN synchronization
can cause configuration changes to other switches on the network. For example, in this lab, enabling
the interfaces on CSW1 would add multiple VLANs to CSW2. However, in another situation, adding
a switch to a network could just as easily remove VLANs. Adding or removing VLANs could have
negative effects on a network.

5. When VTP is being implemented on a network, at least one switch must be in server mode. Server
mode allows the user to create, modify, or delete any VLAN on VTP clients and VTP servers in the
VTP domain. These changes are then advertised to other switches participating in the same VTP
domain.
Switches that operate in VTP client mode store the same VTP information as switches that operate
in VTP server mode; they receive the advertisements that are sent out by the VTP server. Switches
that are in client mode are prevented from having VLANs added or deleted from the command
prompt. Yet, if a switch in VTP client mode that has a higher revision number than other network
switches (and is configured with the same VTP domain and password) is added to an existing
network, the VLAN configuration will propagate to the other switches in the network regardless of
whether those switches are VTP servers or VTP clients. VTP transparent mode switches would not
be affected by the addition of the switch to the network.
Conversely, switches that operate in VTP transparent mode forward the VTP advertisements they
receive from other switches, but they do not act upon that information. Transparent-mode switches
do not advertise their own VLAN information, nor do they participate in the VLANs advertised by the
other switches. Changes to VLAN configurations on a switch operating in transparent mode only
affect that switch and are not forwarded to other switches in the VTP domain.
6. The VTP revision number on CSW1 is 8. This is significant because CSW1 has a higher revision
number than any other switch in the network. VTP clients and VTP servers will synchronize VLAN
configurations with other network switches that are configured with the same VTP domain name
and VTP password. The switch with the highest revision number will propagate its VLANs and
VTP revision number to the other switches in the same VTP domain. VLAN information on VTP
Client and VTP Server switches in the same VTP domain but with lower revision numbers will be
overwritten. For example, in this scenario, the VLAN information on CSW1 will propagate to CSW2
and will overwrite CSW2’s current VLAN configuration.
7. All of the switches in the network are not configured to use the same VTP mode. ASW1 and ASW2
are configured to use VTP transparent mode. DSW1 and CSW2 are configured to use VTP client
mode. DSW2 and CSW1 are configured to use VTP server mode.
8. The VTP revision number on ASW1 and ASW2 is 0 and will not increment if VLANs are added.
Switches configured to operate in VTP transparent mode always have a revision number of 0; this is
why changing a switch from VTP server mode to VTP transparent mode resets the revision number
on the switch to 0. Additionally, changing the VTP domain name on a switch will reset the VTP
revision number to 0.
9. All switches that are configured with the same VTP domain name and password will synchronize
VTP revision numbers with the switch that has the highest revision number. Transparent switches
always have a revision number of 0.

10. You should issue the show vlan command or show vlan brief command on all switches on the
network to determine how many VLANs are configured on each of the switches. The following is
sample output from CSW1:
CSW1#show vlan brief
VLAN Name Status Ports

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
1 default active Fa0/1, Fa0/2, Fa0/3, Fa0/4
Fa0/5, Fa0/6, Fa0/7, Fa0/8
Fa0/9, Fa0/10, Fa0/11, Fa0/12
Gi0/1, Gi0/2
2 VLAN0002 active
22 VLAN0022 active
33 VLAN0033 active
44 VLAN0044 active
45 VLAN0045 active
54 VLAN0054 active
62 VLAN0062 active
77 VLAN0077 active
<output omitted>
The following table shows how many VLANs are configured on each of the switches on the network:
ASW1 ASW2 DSW1 DSW2 CSW1 CSW2

5 7 4 4 9 1
Task 2: Optimize Switch Configurations

1. The output of the following command shows that VLANs 1, 22, 23, and 24 are configured on DSW1.
The following is sample output:
DSW1#show vlan brief

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
Gi0/1, Gi0/2
22 VLAN0022 active
23 VLAN0023 active
24 VLAN0024 active
<output omitted>
2. You should issue the following command on DSW1 to configure it to be the source of VLAN
propagation for the other switches in the network:
DSW1(config)#vtp mode server
3. All of the network switches other than DSW1 require configuration changes in order for the network
to be optimized.

4. ASW1 and ASW2 are configured to operate in VTP transparent mode.
5. ASW1 has five VLANs, and ASW2 has seven VLANs.
6. If you change the VTP mode on ASW2 from transparent mode to client mode, it will synchronize with
DSW1.
Changing ASW1 from transparent mode to client mode will not enable it to synchronize VLAN
information with DSW1, because ASW1 is configured with a different VTP domain name.
The following sample output from DSW1, ASW1, and ASW2 shows that ASW1 and ASW2 have
different VTP domain names and that only ASW2’s VTP domain name matches DSW1’s:
DSW1#show vtp status

VTP Version : 2
VTP Operating Mode : Server

VTP Domain Name : boson
ASW1#show vtp status

VTP Version : 2
VTP Operating Mode : Transparent

ASW2#show vtp status

VTP Version : 2
VTP Operating Mode : Transparent

VTP Domain Name : boson

7. You should issue the following commands to configure ASW1 so that it will synchronize VLAN
information with DSW1 as a VTP client:
ASW1(config)#vtp mode client

ASW1(config)#vtp domain boson
Changing VTP domain from cisco to boson
8. You should issue the following command to configure ASW2 so that it will synchronize VLAN
information with DSW1 as a VTP client:
ASW2(config)#vtp mode client
9. You should issue the following command on DSW1, ASW1, and ASW2 to verify that all three devices
have the same VLAN configuration. The following is sample output from all three devices:

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
Gi0/1, Gi0/2
22 VLAN0022 active
23 VLAN0023 active
24 VLAN0024 active
<output omitted>
ASW1#show vlan brief

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
Gi0/1
22 VLAN0022 active
23 VLAN0023 active
24 VLAN0024 active
<output omitted>
ASW2#show vlan brief

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
Gi0/1
22 VLAN0022 active
23 VLAN0023 active
24 VLAN0024 active
<output omitted>

10. You can set the VTP revision number to 0 on a switch by either changing the domain name or
switching to VTP transparent mode and then to VTP server or client mode. Typically, you would
ensure that CSW1 would not cause changes to the production network by resetting the revision
number to 0. However, in this lab, you will observe the changes that occur when a switch with a
higher revision number is added to an operating network.
You should issue the following commands on CSW1 to enable the interfaces:
CSW1(config)#interface range fastethernet 0/1 - 8

CSW1(config-if-range)#no shutdown
11. After allowing enough time for the network to converge, you can issue the following command on
CSW1 to verify that it did not synchronize VLAN information with DSW1. However, CSW2 now
has the same VLANs as CSW1 because the two switches are now in the same VTP domain. The
following is sample output from all three devices:

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
Fa0/11, Fa0/12, Gi0/1, Gi0/2
2 VLAN0002 active
22 VLAN0022 active
33 VLAN0033 active
44 VLAN0044 active
45 VLAN0045 active
54 VLAN0054 active
62 VLAN0062 active
77 VLAN0077 active
<output omitted>

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
1 default active Fa0/11, Fa0/12, Gi0/1, Gi0/2
22 VLAN0022 active
23 VLAN0023 active
24 VLAN0024 active
<output omitted>

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
Fa0/11, Fa0/12, Gi0/1, Gi0/2
2 VLAN0002 active
22 VLAN0022 active
33 VLAN0033 active
44 VLAN0044 active
45 VLAN0045 active
54 VLAN0054 active
62 VLAN0062 active
77 VLAN0077 active
<output omitted>

12. On CSW1, you should issue the following commands so that the switch will synchronize VLAN
information with DSW1:
CSW1(config)#vtp mode client

CSW1(config)#vtp domain boson
VTP domain boson modified
13. If you added a VLAN to DSW2, the VLAN would be added to all of the other switches on the
network, with the exception of CSW2. CSW2 is in a different VTP domain than DSW2. In this lab,
only one switch is to be configured as the VTP server, and that switch should be DSW1, not DSW2.
Therefore, DSW2 still requires a configuration change.
14. You should issue the following commands so that DSW2 and CSW2 are both VTP clients within the
same VTP domain as DSW1. This will enable them to synchronize VLAN information with DSW1 but
will prevent VLAN changes from the console of DSW2 or CSW2.
DSW2(config)#vtp mode client
CSW2(config)#vtp domain boson

VTP domain boson modified
15. On DSW1, you should issue the following command to add VLAN 21:
DSW1(config)#vlan 21
VLAN 21 added:
Name:VLAN0021
16. You should issue the following command to verify that VLAN 21 was added to all other switches on
the network. Sample output from DSW2 is below:

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
1 default active Fa0/11, Fa0/12, Gi0/1, Gi0/2
21 VLAN0021 active
22 VLAN0022 active
23 VLAN0023 active
24 VLAN0024 active
<output omitted>
