Configuration Tasks
<A> Perform Basic Switch Configurations:
1. Configure hostname of the switches as shown in Figure 1.
2. Configure “cisco” as the enable secret password on all switches.
3. Configure the interface settings of each router as shown in the following table.

Device Interface IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway

Fa0/0 N/A N/A N/A
F0/0.10 172.17.10.254 255.255.255.0 N/A
RT
F0/0.20 172.17.20.254 255.255.255.0 N/A
F0/0.99 172.17.99.254 255.255.255.0 N/A
SA VLAN99 172.17.99.1 255.255.255.0 172.17.99.254
SB VLAN99 172.17.99.2 255.255.255.0 172.17.99.254
SC VLAN99 172.17.99.3 255.255.255.0 172.17.99.254
Host A NIC 172.17.10.21 255.255.255.0 172.17.10.254
Host B NIC 172.17.20.21 255.255.255.0 172.17.20.254

<B> Configure and Activate Network Addresses

1. Configure the management VLAN interface on all switches.
2. Configure the Ethernet interfaces of Host A and B.

<C> Configure VTP

1. Configure switch SA as the VTP server, with domain name cisco and password cisco.
2. Configure switches SB and SC as VTP clients, with same domain name and password as
switch SA.
3. Configure all trunk links.

<D> Configure VLANs

1. Configure the VLANs on the VTP server.
Configure the VLANs in the table below on the VTP server.
VLAN VLAN Name
VLAN 99 Management
VLAN 10 Student
VLAN 20 Staff

2. Verify that the VTP clients are receiving VLAN configurations from the server.

P. 2 of 3
<E> Configure STP
1. Configure switch SA to always be root.
2. Verify that STP is running correctly.

<F> Configure Inter-VLAN routing

1. Configure hostname of the router as shown in Figure 1.
2. Configure “cisco” as the enable secret password on router RT.
3. Configure the trunking interface on RT.
4. Verify Inter-VLAN routing.

<G>Verify connectivity
Verify the following connections:
 Host A should be able to successfully ping all interfaces on RT.
 Host A should be able to successfully ping Host B and vice versa.
 Switches should be able to successfully ping each other.
