Vlan Configuration

Lab 1: Configuring standard VLANs on Catalyst Switches 

Lab Objective: 
The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to configure standard VLANs 1-1001 on Cisco Catalyst IOS switches. In addition to this, you are also required to familiarize yourself with the commands available in Cisco IOS to validate and check your configurations. 

Lab Purpose: 
VLAN configuration is a fundamental skill. VLANs allow you to segment your network into multiple, smaller broadcast domains. As a Cisco engineer, as well as in the Cisco CCNA exam, you will be expected to know how to configure VLANs on Cisco switches. 

Certification Level: 
This lab is suitable for both CCENT and CCNA certification exam preparation 
Lab Difficulty: 
This lab has a difficulty rating of 4/10 


Readiness Assessment: 
When you are ready for your certification exam, you should complete this lab in no more than 10 minutes 
Lab Topology: 
Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:  

Task 1: 
In preparation for VLAN configuration, configure a hostname on Sw1 as well as the VLANs depicted in the topology.  
5
  
Task 2: 
Configure ports FastEthernet0/5 – FastEthernet0/8 as access ports and assign them to the VLANs specified. 

Task 3: 
Verify your VLAN configuration using relevant show commands in Cisco IOS.  
SOLUTION: 

Lab 1 Configuration and Verification 
Task 1: 
Switch#config t 
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z. 
Switch(config)#hostname Sw1 
Sw1(config)#vlan 10 
Sw1(config-vlan)#name SALES 
Sw1(config-vlan)#exit 
Sw1(config)#vlan 20 
Sw1(config-vlan)#name MANAGERS 
Sw1(config-vlan)#exit 
Sw1(config)#vlan 30 
Sw1(config-vlan)#name ENGINEERS 
Sw1(config-vlan)#exit 
Sw1(config)#vlan 40 
Sw1(config-vlan)#name SUPPORT 

NOTE: By default, Cisco switches are VTP servers so no configuration is necessary for Server mode. Use the show vtp status command to look at the current VTP operating mode of the switch. 

Task 2: 
Sw1(config)#interface fastethernet0/5 
Sw1(config-if)#switchport mode access 
6  
Sw1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10 
Sw1(config-if)#exit 
Sw1(config)#interface fastethernet0/6 
Sw1(config-if)#switchport mode access 
Sw1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20 
Sw1(config-if)#exit 
Sw1(config-if)#interface fastethernet0/7 
Sw1(config-if)#switchport mode access 
Sw1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 30 
Sw1(config-if)#exit 
Sw1(config-if)#interface fastethernet0/8 
Sw1(config-if)#switchport mode access 
Sw1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 40 

Task 3: 
Sw1#show vlan brief
