Laboratory: VTP Client and Server Configurations

Objective
• Create a basic switch configuration and verify it.
• Create multiple VLANs, name them and assign multiple member ports to them.
• Configure the VTP protocol to establish Server and client switches.
• Create an 802.1q trunk line between the two switches to allow communication between paired VLANs.
• Then test the VLANs functionality by moving a workstation from one VLAN to another.

Background/Preparation
When managing a switch, the Management Domain is always VLAN 1. The Network
Administrator's workstation must have access to a port in the VLAN 1 Management Domain. All
ports are assigned to VLAN 1 by default.
Cable a network similar to the one of in diagram. The configuration output used in this lab is
produced from a 2950 series switch. Any other switch used may produce different output.
The following steps are to be executed on each switch unless specifically instructed
otherwise.
Start a HyperTerminal session.

 all switches in this lab assignment before continuing.

Step 1 Configure the switch

Configure the hostname, access, and command mode passwords, as well as the management
LAN settings. These values are shown in the chart. If problems occur while performing this
configuration, refer to the Basic Switch Configuration lab.

Step 2 Configure the hosts attached to the switch

Configure the IP address, mask, and default gateway on each host. Be sure to choose
addresses that are on the same subnet as the switch.

Step 3 Verify connectivity

a. To verify that the host and switch are correctly configured, ping the switch from the
hosts.
b. Were the pings successful?
c. If the answer is no, troubleshoot the host and switches
configurations.

Step 4 Display the VLAN interface information

On Switch_A, type the command show vlan at the Privileged EXEC prompt as
follows:

Switch_A#show vlan

Note: There should be an entry for VLAN 1 and the default VLANs (1002 +). If other VLANs
appear, they could be deleted as instructed in Step 2 of the Erasing and Reloading instructions at
the end of this lab or refer to the Lab Exercise: Deleting VLAN Configurations.

Step 5 Configure VTP

a. VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) needs to be configured on both switches. VTP is the protocol
that will communicate information about which VLANs exist from one switch to another. If VTP
did
not provide this information, VLANs would have to be created on all switches individually.
b. By default, the Catalyst switch series are configured as VTP servers. In the event that the
server services are turned off, use the following command to turn it back on:

Switch_A#vlan database
Switch_A(vlan)#vtp server
Switch_A(vlan)#vtp domain group1
Switch_A(vlan)#exit

Step 6 Create and name three VLANs

Enter the following commands to create and name three
VLANs:
Switch_A#vlan database
Switch_A(vlan)#vlan 10 name Accounting
Switch_A(vlan)#vlan 20 name Marketing
Switch_A(vlan)#vlan 30 name Engineering
Switch_A(vlan)#exit

 Use the show vlan command to verify that the VLANs have been created
correctly.

Step 7 Assign ports to VLAN 10
Assigning ports to VLANs must be done from the interface mode. Enter the following commands
to add ports 0/4 to 0/6 to VLAN 10:

Switch_A#configure terminal
Switch_A(config)#interface fastethernet 0/4
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/5
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/6
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
Switch_A(config-if)#end

Step 8 Assign ports to VLAN 20

Enter the following commands to add ports 0/7 to 0/9 to VLAN 20:

Switch_A#configure terminal
Switch_A(config)#interface fastethernet 0/7
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/8
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/9
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20
Switch_A(config-if)#end

Step 9 Assign ports to VLAN 30

Enter the following commands to add ports 0/10 to 0/12 to VLAN 30:

Switch_A#configure terminal
Switch_A(config)#interface fastethernet 0/10
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 30
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/11
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 30
Switch_A(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/12
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 30
Switch_A(config-if)#end

Step 10 Display the VLAN interface information

a. On Switch_A, type the command show vlan at the Privileged EXEC prompt as follows:

Switch_A#show vlan
 b. Are ports 0/10 through 0/12 assigned to VLAN 30?

Step 11 Configure VTP client

Enter the following commands to configure Switch_B to be a VTP client:

Switch_B#vlan database
Switch_B(vlan)#vtp client
Switch_B(vlan)#vtp domain group1
Switch_B(vlan)#exit

Step 12 Create the trunk

On both switches, Switch_A and Switch_B, type the following command at the fastethernet 0/1
interface command prompt. Note that it is not necessary to specify the encapsulation on a
2950, since it only supports 802.1Q.

Switch_A(config)#interface fastethernet 0/1

Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Switch_A(config-if)#end

Switch_B(config)#interface fastethernet 0/1

Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Switch_B(config-if)#end

2900:
Switch_A(config)#interface fastethernet0/1
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Switch_A(config-if)#end

Switch_B(config)#interface fastethernet0/1
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Switch_B(config-if)#end

Step 13 Verify the trunk

a. To verify that port fastethernet 0/1 has been established as a trunk port, type show
interface fastethernet 0/1 switchport at the Privileged EXEC mode prompt

b. What type of trunking encapsulation is shown on the output results?

Step 14 Display the VLAN interface information

a. On Switch_B, type the command show vlan at the Privileged EXEC prompt as follows:

Switch_B#show vlan

b. Do VLANs 10, 20, and 30 show without having to type them in?
c. Why did this happen?
Step 15 Assign ports to a VLAN 10
Although the VLAN definitions have migrated to Switch_B using VTP, it is still necessary to assign
ports to these VLANs on Switch_B. Assigning ports to VLANs must be done from the interface
mode. Enter the following commands to add ports 0/4 to 0/6 to VLAN 10.

Switch_B#configure terminal
Switch_B(config)#interface fastethernet 0/4
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
Switch_B(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/5
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
Switch_B(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/6
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10
Switch_B(config-if)#end

Step 16 Assign ports to VLAN 20

Enter the following commands to add ports 0/7 to 0/9 to VLAN 20:

Switch_B#configure terminal
Switch_B(config)#interface fastethernet 0/7
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20
Switch_B(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/8
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20
Switch_B(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/9
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport access vlan 20
Switch_B(config-if)#end

Step 17 Assign ports to VLAN 30

Enter the following commands to add ports 0/10 to 0/12 to VLAN 30:

Switch_B#configure terminal
Switch_B(config)#interface fastethernet 0/10
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport access vlan 30
Switch_B(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/11
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport access vlan 30
Switch_B(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/12
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_B(config-if)#switchport access vlan 30
Switch_B(config-if)#end

Step 18 Display the VLAN interface information

a. On Switch_B, type the command show vlan at the Privileged EXEC prompt as follows:

Switch_B#show vlan
 b. Are ports 0/10 through 0/12 assigned to VLAN 30?

Step 19 Test the VLANS and the trunk

Ping from the host in Switch_A port 0/12 to the host in Switch_B port
0/12.
a. Was the ping successful?
b. Why?
Ping from the host in Switch_A port 0/12 to the switch IP 192.168.1.2.
c. Was the ping successful?

d. Why?

Step 20 Move hosts

Move the host in Switch_A from port 0/12 to port 0/8. Wait until the port LED goes green and then
go to the next step.

Step 21 Test the VLANS and the trunk

Ping from the host in Switch_A port 0/8 to the host in Switch_B port
0/12.
a. Was the ping successful?
b. Why?
Ping from the host in Switch_A port 0/8 to the switch IP 192.168.1.2.
c. Was the ping successful?

d. Why?
