Examine the topology above and the tables shown. Use the information to configure VTP and Inter-VLAN
routing in the steps below

Step 1: Device Connections

• Connect the devices as shown in the topology. Ensure that the device models and ports match those
in the topology

Step 2: Configure Basic Device Settings

• Configure the PCs and servers IP addresses using the IP information given in the addressing table
above
• Configure switch names and router name only. Do not add other configurations apart from the ones
given in steps 3 to the end

Step 3: Check VTP status information

• Use the command show vtp status on all the switches in the domain to check the VTP
status information. What is the following status information?
i. VTP Versions supported by the switch
ii. VTP version enabled on the switch
iii. Configuration revision number
iv. Maximum Number of VLANs that can be configured
v. Number of existing VLANs
vi. VTP Operating Mode of each switch
vii. VTP Domain Name
viii. Is VTP Pruning enabled?

Step 4: Configure Trunking on the Topology

• On each of the four switches configure the interfaces fa0/1-4 to trunking mode
Note: This configuration will allow data from multiple VLANs to be tagged (assigned a VLAN ID
and passed over VLAN trunk
• Use the show interface trunk command to confirm your trunk configurations

Page 2 of 6
 Note: the interface status will change to down then back to up once the interface of the connecting
switch is configured to trunking mode as well. The native VLAN should appear as one of the
VLANs on the trunk and the VLAN ID should be VLAN 1

Step 5: Configure Global VTP domain information

i. Configure the appropriate VTP modes
• Configure S2, S3 and S4 to the appropriate VTP mode (Refer to topology)
• Note: All CISCO switches are VTP clients by default hence you will not need to configure
client mode on S1
ii. Configure VTP domain name and passwords on all the switches. (Refer to the topology). Ensure
the domain name and passwords match otherwise the VTP enabled devices will be unable to
process the VTP updates
iii. show vtp status again on all the switches to confirm what you have just configured. Is
there new VTP status information?

Step 6: Configure VLANs on the VTP server (S1)

i. On the VTP server configure and name the VLANs shown in in the domain. (Refer to the
topology and VLAN Table 2)

To quickly add the missing VLAN name configurations:

• Go to S1 (VTP Server) and configure the VLAN IDs again and names as per VLAN table
2 (you may need to refer to an earlier lab in case you have forgotten the syntax for naming
a vlan)
• Show vlan brief on S1 to confirm that the VLANs have been configured and named
correctly

ii. On S2, S3 and S4 show vtp status and check for whether the following has changed:
• Number of VLANS configured and
• The configuration revision number
• Note it down
iii. On VTP server (S1):
• Assign VLAN 10 to the interfaces fa0/5 to fa0/10
• Assign VLAN 20 to the interfaces fa0/11 to fa0/15
• Assign VLAN 30 to the interfaces fa0/16 to fa0/20
• Shut down all the remaining ports since they will be unused. (Ensure that you do not shut
down ports fa0/1-fa0/4 since they are for trunking)

iv. Show vlan brief on all switches. What do you observe?

• Do you have the same VLAN information (VLAN id and name)?
• Do you have the same VLAN port assignments?
(Note: You will assign VLANs to the interfaces on the vtp client in the next step)
v. show vtp status on all the switches to confirm what you have just configured. Is there
new VTP status information?

Page 3 of 6
 Note:
• On S1 and S4 (you should have the same configuration revision number and the same
number of VLANs configured)
• On S2 and S3 (vtp transparent switches) the status information should remain as it was
since VLANs information shared will not be processed by this switch

Step 7: Assign VLANs to interfaces on the VTP client (S4)

On VTP Client (S4):
• Assign VLAN 10 to the interfaces fa0/5 to fa0/10
• Assign VLAN 20 to the interfaces fa0/11 to fa0/15
• Assign VLAN 30 to the interfaces fa0/16 to fa0/20
• Shut down all the remaining ports since they will be unused (Ensure that you do not shut
down ports fa0/1-fa0/4 since they are for trunking)

Step 8: Configure transparent switches (S2 and S3)

i. On both transparent switches (S2 and S3) configure and name all the VLANs shown in the
domain. (Refer to the topology and VLAN tables)
ii. Assign the configured VLAN 40 only to the appropriate ports. (Refer to the topology)
iii. Show vlan brief on both S2 and S3 to confirm the VLANs configured and port
assignments for VLAN 40
iv. Show vlan brief on both S1 and S4 to confirm the VLANs configured and port
assignments for all VLANs added in (step 6 i.).
Note: Both switches should have the same VLAN information
v. Show vtp status on all switches (S1-S4) and compare status information
• Are the configured VLANs the same in number?
• Is the configuration number the same on all switches?

Step 9: Test for connectivity. Ping

i. From PC0 to PC3. Does the ping work?
ii. From PC1 to PC4. Does the ping work?
iii. From PC2 to PC5. Does the ping work?
iv. From PC0 to PC1. Does the ping work?
v. From PC0 to PC2. Does the ping work?
vi. From PC0 to PC4. Does the ping work?
vii. From PC0 to PC5. Does the ping work?
viii. From PC0 to laptop. Does the ping work?
ix. From PC0 to server. Does the ping work?
x. Ping from other PCs not listed here

Note:
• All nodes in the same VLAN should have a successful ping
• All nodes in different VLANs need inter-vlan routing to communicate

Page 4 of 6
Step 10: On the router configure inter-vlan routing (you may need to refer to the last lab for the router
commands. Remember to modify the commands where necessary for them to have them fit into this scenario)
i. Configure a sub-interface for VLAN 10
On the router’s fa0/0
• Configure a sub-interface for VLAN 10
• Enable the dot1q encapsulation on the sub-interface configured above
• Assign the required IP address and mask on the sub sub-interface (refer to the corrected
addressing table on page 1)
ii. Configure a sub-interface for VLAN 20
On the router’s fa0/0
• Configure a sub-interface for VLAN 20
• Enable the dot1q encapsulation on the sub-interface configured above
• Assign the required IP address and mask on the sub sub-interface (refer to the corrected
addressing table on page 1)
iii. Configure a sub-interface for VLAN 30
On the router’s fa0/0
• Configure a sub-interface for VLAN 30
• Enable the dot1q encapsulation on the sub-interface configured above
• Assign the required IP address and mask on the sub sub-interface (refer to the corrected
addressing table on page 1)
iv. Configure a sub-interface for VLAN 40
On the router’s fa0/0
• Configure a sub-interface for VLAN 40
• Enable the dot1q encapsulation on the sub-interface configured above
• Assign the required IP address and mask on the sub sub-interface (refer to the corrected
addressing table on page 1)
v. Activate the sub-interfaces by switching on the physical interface. Here are the steps:
• Exit from the last sub-interface in (iv) above
• Go to interface fa0/0
• Add the no shut down command to this interface (the router port should turn green)

Step 11: Test for connectivity. Ping

i. From PC0 to PC1. Does the ping work?
ii. From PC0 to PC2. Does the ping work?
iii. From PC0 to PC3. Does the ping work?
iv. From PC0 to PC4. Does the ping work?
v. From PC0 to PC5. Does the ping work?
vi. From PC1 to PC2. Does the ping work?
vii. From PC1 to PC3. Does the ping work?
viii. From PC1 to PC4. Does the ping work?
ix. From PC1 to PC5. Does the ping work?
x. From PC2 to PC3. Does the ping work?
xi. From PC2 to PC4. Does the ping work?

 xii. From PC2 to PC5. Does the ping work?
xiii. From PC3 to PC4. Does the ping work?
xiv. From PC3 to PC5. Does the ping work?
xv. From PC4 to PC5. Does the ping work?
xvi. From any PC to laptop. Does the ping work?

Note:
• All nodes in vlans 10, 20 and 30 should be able to ping each other and their default
gateways (i.e. router sub-interfaces) but cannot ping the nodes in VLAN 40
• All nodes on VLAN 40 can ping each other but cannot ping any other nodes including their
default gateway
