Design Hierarchy (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Identify the three layers of a hierarchical network and how they are used in network design.
Instructor Note: This activity can be completed individually or in small groups.

Scenario
A network administrator is tasked with designing an expanded network for the company.
After speaking with network administrators in other branches of the company, it was decided to use the Cisco
three-layer hierarchical network design model to guide the expansion. This model was chosen for its simple
influence upon network planning.
The three layers of the expanded network design include:

Access

Distribution

Core

Resources

World Wide Web access

Presentation software

Step 1: Use the Internet to research the Cisco three-layer design model for images only.
a. Find two images that show the three-layer hierarchical design model.
b. Note the online images web address.

Step 2: Study the two images you have selected from Step 1.
a. Notice the types of equipment in each layer of the designs you have chosen.
b. Differentiate why it is assumed the types of equipment shown in the images are located where they are
on the design.
c.

Notice any other differences between the chosen images.

1) Number of devices used within the layers
2) Redundancy, if any

Step 3: Create a three-slide presentation to include:

a. The two chosen designs with hyperlinks as to their Internet site locations.
b. A statement on each slide as to why the particular image was chosen.
c.

Comparison statements as to how the two images differ, but with an explanation of why they are
classified as three-level hierarchical designs.

Page 1 of 4

Design Hierarchy

Step 4: Present the slides to a classmate, another group, or the class for discussion.

Suggested Activity Example (no model numbers are given, as emphasis is on the
hierarchical functions of the network devices shown):
Slide 1:
Graphic 1

Student or Group Notes as to why this graphic was chosen:

Access layer shows basic switches, Spanning Tree options, redundancy to the Distribution layer, and security
considerations.

Distribution layer shows redundancy, load balancing, and routing protocols linked to the Core layer.

Core layer shows load balancing, redundancy, routing protocols, and port aggregation.

Page 2 of 4

Design Hierarchy

Slide 2:
Graphic 2

Student or Group Notes as to why this graphic was chosen:

Access layer shows PCs, access switches, VPN gateways, printers, teleworker, home office, and wireless
router. Also shown in this layer are redundant links to the distribution layer.

The distribution layer shows several multilayer switches and link connections to the core layer.

The core layer shows multilayer switches and connections to the distribution layer and the cloud.

Slide 3:

Basic equipment types are located in the access layer, closest to the user and work with the distribution layer
above it. Most of the network devices are located at this level on both images.

The distribution layer equipment interfaces with both core and access layers in both images. This hierarchical
level seems to contain the most sophisticated and multifunctional equipment. Redundancy is clearly apparent
to both core and access layers as shown in the first model. It would seem that high-powered multifunction

Page 3 of 4

Design Hierarchy
switches would be located at this level of the two graphics. The number of network devices shown in both
graphics at this level is smaller than the access layer, but larger than the core layer.

As shown in the two previous graphics, the core layer has the most sophisticated equipment. There are fewer
network devices at this layer, which seems to indicate that the devices are highly functioning and fast traffic
processors.

Branching Out (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Describe WAN access technologies available to small-to-medium-sized business networks.
Instructor Note:

This activity is can be completed individually or in small groups it can then be shared and discussed
with another group of students, with the entire class, or with the instructor.

At this point of the curriculum, students should learn that there are different types of network equipment
more suited for sizes of networks rather than which specific models of equipment should be considered
for purchase.

Scenario
Your medium-sized company is opening a new branch office to serve a wider, client-based network. This branch
will focus on regular, day-to-day network operations, but will also provide TelePresence, web conferencing, IP
telephony, video on demand, and wireless services.
Although you know that an ISP can provide WAN routers and switches to accommodate the branch office
connectivity for the network, you prefer to use your own customer premises equipment (CPE). To ensure
interoperability, Cisco devices have been used in all other branch-office WANs.
As the branch-office network administrator, it is your responsibility to research possible network devices for
purchase and use over the WAN.

Reflection
1. What are the disadvantages to using a T1 leased line for personal home use? What would be a better
solution?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
A symmetrical service such as T1 would be more expensive and unnecessary for home use. Home users
typically do much more downloading than uploading and an asymmetrical service such as DSL or Cable could
provide faster downloads at a more affordable price.
2. When might the use of a dedicated WAN connection, of any type, be a good connectivity solution for a
business.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Answers will vary. A business, which requires fast Internet speeds, both download and upload, and an
uninterrupted connection would benefit from a dedicated connection.
3. Describe other WAN technologies that provide high-speed, low-cost options that could be an alternative
solution to a T1 connection.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Frame Relay, MPLS, and Metro Ethernet or Ethernet Private Line (EPL) are technologies that would be worth
researching.

PPP Persuasion (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objectives
Describe the benefits of using PPP over HDLC in a WAN.
This activity can be completed individually or in small groups of 2-3 students per group.

Scenario
Your network engineering supervisor recently attended a networking conference where Layer 2 protocols were
discussed. He knows that you have Cisco equipment on the premises, but he would also like to offer security and
advanced TCP/IP options and controls on that same equipment by using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
After researching the PPP protocol, you find it offers some advantages over the HDLC protocol, currently used on
your network.
Create a matrix listing the advantages and disadvantages of using the HDLC vs. PPP protocols. When comparing
the two protocols, include:

Ease of configuration

Adaptability to non-proprietary network equipment

Security options

Bandwidth usage and compression

Bandwidth consolidation

Share your chart with another student or class. Justify whether or not you would suggest sharing the matrix with
the network engineering supervisor to justify a change being made from HDLC to PPP for Layer 2 network
connectivity.

Objectives
Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings
Part 2: Configure PPP Encapsulation
Part 3: Configure PPP CHAP Authentication

Background / Scenario
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a very common Layer 2 WAN protocol. PPP can be used to connect from
LANs to service provider WANs and for connection of LAN segments within an enterprise network.
In this lab, you will configure PPP encapsulation on dedicated serial links between the branch routers and a
central router. You will configure PPP Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) on the PPP
serial links. You will also examine the effects of the encapsulation and authentication changes on the status of
the serial link.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco
IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you
are unsure, contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Step 5: Configure the PCs.

Assign IP addresses and default gateways to the PCs according to the Addressing Table.

Step 6: Verify end-to-end connectivity.

All devices should be able to ping other devices in the Topology. If not, troubleshoot until you can establish
end-to-end connectivity.
Note: It may be necessary to disable the PC firewall to ping between PCs.

Step 7: Save your configurations.

Part 2: Configure PPP Encapsulation

Step 1: Display the default serial encapsulation.
On the routers, issue show interfaces serial interface-id to display the current serial encapsulation.

Step 3: Intentionally break the serial connection.

a. Issue the debug ppp commands to observe the effects of changing the PPP configuration on the
Branch1 router and the Central router.
Branch1# debug ppp negotiation
PPP protocol negotiation debugging is on
Branch1# debug ppp packet
PPP packet display debugging is on
Central# debug ppp negotiation
PPP protocol negotiation debugging is on
Central# debug ppp packet
PPP packet display debugging is on
b. Observe the debug PPP messages when traffic is flowing on the serial link between the Branch1 and
Central routers.

What happens when one end of the serial link is encapsulated with PPP and the other end of the link is
encapsulated with HDLC?
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
The link goes down, and the OSPF adjacency is broken. PPP keeps trying to establish a connection with
the opposite end of the link as indicated by the message Phase is ESTABLISHING. However, because
it keeps receiving a non-NCP packet, LCP fails to negotiate and the link stays down.
f.

Issue the encapsulation ppp command on the S0/0/0 interface for the Branch1 router to correct
mismatched encapsulation.
Branch1(config)# interface s0/0/0

Branch3# debug ppp packet

PPP packet display debugging is on

Configure the interface S0/0/1 on Branch3 for CHAP authentication.

Branch3(config)# interface s0/0/1
Branch3(config-if)# ppp authentication chap

d. Examine the debug PPP messages on the Branch3 router during the negotiation with the Central router.

From the PPP debug messages, what phases did the Branch3 router go through before the link is up with
the Central router?
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
PPP goes through the following phases: DOWN, ESTABLISHING, AUTHENTICATING, and UP.
e. Issue the debug ppp authentication command to observe the CHAP authentication messages on the
Central router.
Central# debug ppp authentication
PPP authentication debugging is on

Configure CHAP authentication on S0/0/1 on the Central router.

Central(config)# interface s0/0/1
Central(config-if)# ppp authentication chap

g. Observe the debug PPP messages relating to CHAP authentication on the Central router.

h. Issue the undebug all (or u all) command on the Central and Branch3 routers to turn off all debugging.
Central# undebug all
All possible debugging has been turned off

Step 3: Intentionally break the serial link configured with authentication.

a. On the Central router, configure a username for use with Branch1. Assign cisco as the password.
Central(config)# username Branch1 password cisco
b. On the Central and Branch1 routers, configure CHAP authentication on interface S0/0/0. What is
happening with the interface?
____________________________________________________________________________________
The interface S0/0/0 is going up and down.
Note: To speed up the process, shut down the interface and enable it again.

Explain what is causing the link to terminate. Correct the issue and document the command issued to
correct the issue in the space provided below.
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
The link terminated because the CHAP handshake cannot be completed without the correct user
credential on Branch1.
Branch1(config)# username Central password cisco
d. Issue the undebug all command on all routers to turn off debugging.
e. Verify end-to-end connectivity.

Reflection
1. What are the indicators that you may have a serial encapsulation mismatch on a serial link?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Some of the indicators are: the network is no longer converged because some of the routes are removed and
the line protocol for the link is down.

2. What are the indicators that you may have an authentication mismatch on a serial link?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Some of the indicators are: the route is removed from the routing table and the line protocol goes up and
down.

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An
example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be
used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.

Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Load Device Configurations
Part 2: Troubleshoot the Data Link Layer
Part 3: Troubleshoot the Network Layer

Background / Scenario
The routers at your company were configured by an inexperienced network engineer. Several errors in the
configuration have resulted in connectivity issues. Your manager has asked you to troubleshoot and correct
the configuration errors and document your work. Using your knowledge of PPP and standard testing
methods, find and correct the errors. Ensure that all of the serial links use PPP CHAP authentication, and that
all of the networks are reachable.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco
IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you
are unsure, contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Required Resources

3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)

2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)

2 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with a terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)

Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports

From the show interfaces results for S0/0/0 and S0/0/1, what are possible issues with the PPP links?
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
The output indicates: Both S0/0/0 and S0/0/1 are shut down. PPP encapsulation has been applied to both
S0/0/0 and S0/0/1 interfaces. Besides the fact that the serial interface are administratively down, there
are still issues with the PPP configurations, such as mismatched authentication.
b. Use the debug ppp authentication command to view real-time PPP authentication output during
troubleshooting.
R1# debug ppp authentication
PPP authentication debugging is on

Use the show run interface s0/0/0 command to examine the settings on S0/0/0.
R1# show run interface s0/0/0

If the answer is no, which links need to be examined? What are the possible issues?
____________________________________________________________________________________
The link between R2 and R3 has not been established because S0/0/1 interface is configured with HDLC
encapsulation. Beside the encapsulation issue, authentication mismatch can also prevent link
establishment.
b. Use the show run interface command to examine links that have not been established.

PPP Validation (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Use show and debug commands to troubleshoot PPP.
Instructor Note: This activity should be completed by groups of three students, but it can be completed by all
individuals in a class at one time.

Scenario
Three friends who are enrolled in the Cisco Networking Academy want to check their knowledge of PPP network
configuration.
They set up a contest where each person will be tested on configuring PPP with defined PPP scenario
requirements and varying options. Each person devises a different configuration scenario.
The next day they get together and test each others configuration using their PPP scenario requirements.

Resources

Packet Tracer software

Stopwatch or timer

Step 1: Open Packet Tracer.

a. Create a two-router topology with a serial connection.
b. Include one PC and switch attached to each router.

Step 2: Complete the scenarios.

a. Start the Scenario 1 configuration.
b. The instructor calls the time when the scenario is completed; all students and groups must stop their
configuration work at that time.
c.

The instructor checks the validity of the completed scenario configuration.

1) The devices must be able to successfully ping from one end of the topology to the other.
2) All scenario options requested must be present in the final topology.
3) The instructor may ask you to prove your work by choosing different show and debug commands to
display the configuration output.

The student, or group, completing the scenario correctly is declared the winner.
d. Begin the same process as Scenario 2.
1) Delete Scenario 1 configurations, but you can re-use the same.
2) Complete Steps 1 and 2 again using the next scenarios requirements.

Suggested Scenarios include:

Scenario 1

Address the topology using IPv4.

Configure PPP encapsulation with CHAP.

Page 1 of 2

PPP Validation

Configure OSPF routing.

Configure the clock to read todays date.

Change the OSPF router priorities on both serial interfaces.

Scenario 2

Address the topology using IPv6.

Configure PPP encapsulation with PAP.

Configure EIGRP routing.

Configure the clock to read the current time.

Place a description on both connected serial interfaces.

Scenario 3

Address the topology using IPv6.

Configure a Message of the Day.

Configure PPP with CHAP.

Configure OSPF routing.

Configure the clock to read todays time and date.

Emerging WAN Technologies (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Troubleshoot WAN issues that affect internetwork communications in a small- to medium-sized business network.
Instructor Notes:

This activity allows students to consider other options for WAN connectivity. They are mentioned in the
curriculum and allow students to explore the emerging network WAN communications options available to
todays small- to medium-sized business networks.

Students may work individually or in small groups to complete this activity.

Scenario
As the network administrator, in your small- to medium-sized business, you have already moved from leased-line
WAN to Frame Relay connectivity for WAN network communication. You are responsible to keep current with all
future network upgrades.
To stay current with emerging and developing technologies, you find that there are some alternate options
available for WAN connectivity. Some of these include:

Frame Relay

Broadband DSL

Broadband cable modem

GigaMAN

VPN

MPLS

Because you want to offer the best quality, lowest-cost WAN network service to your company, you decide to
research, at least, two emerging and developing technologies. It is your intent to gather information about these
two alternate WAN options to intelligently discuss the future goals of your network with your business manager
and other network administrators.

Resources

Internet access to the World Wide Web

Presentation software

Directions
Step 1: Choose two of the following emerging and developing WAN technologies:
a. Frame Relay
b. Broadband DSL
c.

Broadband cable modem

d. GigaMAN
e. VPN
f.

MPLS

Page 1 of 3

Emerging WAN Technologies

Step 2: Create a matrix to record information about the two WAN technologies you chose. At a
minimum, include:
a. A short description of the technology
b. Physical requirements to set up the technology
1) Cabling requirements
2) Network devices necessary to operate the WAN technology
3) Who provides the network devices necessary to operate the WAN technology
c.

Benefits of this type of WAN technology

d. Disadvantages to implementing or changing to this form of WAN technology

e. Costs associated with this type of technology

Step 3: Create a five-slide presentation for future use with discussions with your business
manager or other network administrators.

GigaMAN WAN Technology
Description

Point-to-Point WAN technology using Ethernet to

fiber-optic switched connections. This is currently
limited to metro areas, but is considering to expand
over larger and larger geographic distances.
Uses Gigabit Ethernet switches connected to fiberoptic switches and routers (Telco-dependent).
AT&T developed this technology and is currently
known as one of the main service providers for
GigaMAN WAN connections.

Physical Requirements

If the small- to medium-sized business currently uses

Gigabit Ethernet connectivity on its switches, the
Telco will help provide connectivity to the company
switches. No additional equipment would need to be
purchased.

Benefits

Bandwidth availability increased (some research

suggests that one line offers over 26 times the speed
of a T1 line)
Provides a secure WAN technology (leased, Point-toPoint with three variations on how data is delivered
over fiber-optic connections).
Capable of sending or receiving large files due to

Page 2 of 3

Emerging WAN Technologies

increased bandwidth availability (1 Gb/s; some
sources currently list GigaMAN bandwidth capabilities
at 10 Gb/s).
Due to its branch-to-region operation, this type of
technology is well-suited to companies with many
branches, such as with educational systems.
Disadvantages

Currently limited to regional and branch use, as

service providers are working to expand the distance
limitations. Under current standards, GigaMAN is able
to run up to 180 miles, end-to-end with the use of
repeaters.

Associated Costs

Increased Point-to-Point leasing associated costs,

depending on bandwidth usage and Telco plan, but
this is relative considering the trade-off of more
bandwidth and security options availability.

Identify elements of the model that map to IT-related content:

Background / Scenario
Frame Relay is a high-performance WAN protocol that operates at the physical and data link layers of the OSI
reference model. Unlike leased lines, Frame Relay requires only a single access circuit to the Frame Relay
provider to communicate with multiple sites that are connected to the same provider.
Frame Relay was one of the most extensively used WAN protocols, primarily because it was relatively
inexpensive compared to dedicated lines. In addition, configuring user equipment in a Frame Relay network is
fairly simple. With the advent of broadband services such as DSL and cable modem, GigaMAN (point-to-point
Ethernet service over fiber-optic cable), VPN, and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Frame Relay has
become a less desirable solution for accessing the WAN. However, some rural areas do not have access to
these alternative solutions and still rely on Frame Relay for connectivity to the WAN.
In this lab, you will configure Frame Relay encapsulation on serial links. You will also configure a router to
simulate a Frame Relay switch. You will review Cisco standards and open standards that apply to Frame
Relay. You will also configure Frame Relay point-to-point subinterfaces.

Lab Configuring Frame Relay and Subinterfaces

Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure,
contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Required Resources

3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)

2 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)

Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports

Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings on the PC hosts and routers.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Step 2: Initialize and reload the routers as necessary.
Step 3: Configure basic settings for each router.
a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure device names as shown in the topology.
c.

Assign class as the privileged EXEC mode password.

d. Assign cisco as the console and vty passwords and enable login.
e. Configure logging synchronous for the console line.
f.

Encrypt the plain text passwords.

g. Configure a MOTD banner to warn users that unauthorized access is prohibited.

h. Set the clocking rate for all DCE serial interfaces to 128000.
i.

Configure the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses listed in the Addressing Table for all interfaces. Do not activate
the serial interfaces at this time.

Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Step 4: Configure PC hosts.

Refer to the Addressing Table for PC host address information.

Step 5: Test connectivity.

At this point, the PCs will not be able to ping each other, but they should be able to ping their default gateway.
Test both protocols, IPv4 and IPv6. Verify and troubleshoot if necessary.

Lab Configuring Frame Relay and Subinterfaces

Part 2: Configure a Frame Relay Switch

In Part 2, you will configure a Frame Relay switch. You will create permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) and
assign Data Link Connection Identifiers (DLCIs). This configuration creates two PVCs: one from R1 to R3
(DLCI 103), and one from R3 to R1 (DLCI 301).

Step 1: Configure the FR router as a Frame Relay switch.

The frame-relay switching command enables Frame Relay switching globally on a router, allowing it to
forward frames based on the incoming DLCI rather than an IP address.
FR(config)# frame-relay switching

Step 2: Change the interface encapsulation on S0/0/0.

Change the interface encapsulation type to Frame Relay. Like HDLC or PPP, Frame Relay is a data-link layer
protocol that specifies the framing of Layer 2 traffic.
FR(config)# interface s0/0/0
FR(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay

Step 3: Change the interface type to DCE.

Changing the interface type to DCE tells the router to send Local Management Interface (LMI) keepalives and
allows Frame Relay route statements to be applied.
Note: Frame Relay interface types do not need to match the underlying physical interface type. A physical
DTE serial interface can act as a Frame Relay DCE interface, and a physical DCE interface can act as a
logical Frame Relay DTE interface.
FR(config)# interface s0/0/0
FR(config-if)# frame-relay intf-type dce

Step 4: Configure DLCI.

Configure the router to forward incoming traffic on interface S0/0/0 with DLCI 103 to S0/0/1 with an output of
DLCI of 301.
FR(config-if)# frame-relay route 103 interface s0/0/1 301
FR(config-if)# no shutdown

Step 5: Configure Frame Relay on S0/0/1.

FR(config)# interface s0/0/1
FR(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
FR(config-if)# frame-relay intf-type dce
FR(config-if)# frame-relay route 301 interface s0/0/0 103
FR(config-if)# no shutdown

Step 6: Verify Frame Relay configuration.

a. Use the show frame-relay pvc command to verify that Frame Relay is configured correctly.
FR# show frame-relay pvc

Part 3: Configure Basic Frame Relay

In Part 3, you will configure Frame Relay on routers R1 and R3. After Frame Relay is configured, you will
enable the EIGRP routing protocol to provide end-to-end connectivity.

Step 1: Configure R1 for Frame Relay.

Inverse ARP allows distant ends of a Frame Relay link to discover each other dynamically, and provides a
dynamic method of mapping IP addresses to DLCIs. Although Inverse ARP is useful, it is not always reliable.
The best practice is to map IP addresses to DLCIs statically and disable Inverse ARP.
a. Change the encapsulation on S0/0/0 to Frame Relay.
R1(config)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
b. Use the no frame-relay inverse-arp command to disable Inverse ARP.
R1(config)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# no frame-relay inverse-arp
c.

Use the frame-relay map command to map an IP address to a DLCI statically. In addition to mapping an
IP to a DLCI, Cisco IOS software allows several other Layer 3 protocol addresses to be mapped. In the
following command, the broadcast keyword sends any multicast or broadcast traffic destined for this link
over the DLCI. Most routing protocols require the broadcast keyword to function properly over Frame
Relay. You can use the broadcast keyword on multiple DLCIs on the same interface. The traffic is
replicated to all PVCs.
Note: The IPv6 Frame Relay map to a global unicast address does not include the broadcast keyword.
However, the broadcast keyword is used in the mapping to the link-local address. IPv6 routing protocols
use link-local addresses for multicast routing updates; therefore, only the link-local address map requires
the broadcast keyword to forward multicast packets.
R1(config)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# frame-relay map ip 10.1.1.2 103 broadcast
R1(config-if)# frame-relay map ipv6 2001:db8:acad:b::3 103
R1(config-if)# frame-relay map ipv6 fe80::3 103 broadcast

d. For the router to ping its own interface, the DLCI must be created to map to the local interface.
R1(config)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# frame-relay map ip 10.1.1.1 103
R1(config-if)# frame-relay map ipv6 2001:db8:acad:b::1 103
e. Use the no shutdown command to activate S0/0/0.
R1(config-if)# no shutdown

Step 2: Configure R3 for Frame Relay.

R3(config)# interface s0/0/1
R3(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
R3(config-if)# no frame-relay inverse-arp

ipv6 fe80::1 301 broadcast
ip 10.1.1.2 301
ipv6 2001:db8:acad:b::3 301

Why is the no shutdown command used after the no frame-relay inverse-arp command?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
If you type the no shutdown command first, Inverse ARP may cause Frame Relay to learn Layer 2 to Layer 3
mappings that you may not want. By turning off the Frame Relay Inverse ARP before issuing the no
shutdown command, you ensure that only the statically mapped connections that you want are part of the
Frame Relay maps.

Step 3: Verify that Frame Relay is active.

a. You should now be able to ping R3 from R1. It may take several seconds after bringing up the interfaces
for the PVCs to become active.
R1# ping 10.1.1.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 28/30/40 ms

R1# ping 2001:db8:acad:b::3

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2001:DB8:ACAD:B::3, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 28/28/28 ms

b. Ping R1 from R3.

R3# ping 10.1.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 28/28/28 ms

R3# ping 2001:db8:acad:b::1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2001:DB8:ACAD:B::1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 24/26/28 ms

Issue the show frame-relay pvc command to display PVC status information on R1 and R3.
R1# show frame-relay pvc

Note: The FR router acts as a Layer 2 device, so there is no need to map Layer 3 addresses to Layer 2
DLCIs.

Step 4: Configure EIGRP on R1 and R3.

a. Enable IPv6 routing on R1 and R3.
R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
R3(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
b. Using AS 1, enable EIGRP for IPv4 and IPv6 on R1 and R3 for all networks. Set the router ID for R1 as
1.1.1.1 and 3.3.3.3 for R3.
R1(config)# router

R3(config-if)# ipv6 eigrp 1
R3(config-if)# interface s0/0/1
R3(config-if)# ipv6 eigrp 1

Step 5: Verify end-to-end connectivity.

Ping PC-C from PC-A. If your pings were unsuccessful, troubleshoot until you have end-to-end connectivity.
Note: It may be necessary to disable the PC firewall for pings to be successful.

Part 4: Troubleshoot Frame Relay

In Part 4, you will break the Frame Relay connection established earlier and use some tools to troubleshoot
Frame Relay. A variety of tools are available for troubleshooting Frame Relay connectivity issues.

Step 1: Debug Local Management Interface (LMI).

a. Issue the debug frame-relay lmi command on R1. The output gives detailed information on all LMI data.
Keepalives are sent every 10 seconds by default, so you may have to wait until you see any output. The
output shows an outgoing LMI packet with a sequence number of 50. The last LMI message received
from FR had a sequence number of 49. The output is also showing an incoming LMI message from FR to
R1 with a sequence number of 50. DLCI 103 is the only DLCI on this link, and it is currently active.

b. Issue the undebug all command to turn off debugging.

Note: This command can be abbreviated to u all. This is useful to know when debug information is
flooding the screen.

Page 10 of 38

Lab Configuring Frame Relay and Subinterfaces

R1# undebug all
All possible debugging has been turned off

Step 2: Remove the IPv4 frame map from R1.

a. Issue the no frame-relay map command to remove the IPv4 frame map on R1.
R1(config)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# no frame-relay map ip 10.1.1.2 103 broadcast
b. Issue the debug ip icmp command on R1.
R1# debug ip icmp
ICMP packet debugging is on

Ping R1 from R3. Pings should not be successful. However, debug messages on R1 show that the ICMP
packets from R3 are reaching R1.
Note: You should see console messages reporting the EIGRP adjacency going up and down. This is
sometimes called flapping.
R3# ping 10.1.1.1

____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
The ping fails because R1 has no way to reply. With no way to map the IP address of R3 to a Layer 2
DLCI, it cannot route the response and drops the packet.
d. Issue the show frame-relay map command on R1. The IPv4 map for R3 is missing from the list.

e. Issue the undebug all command to turn off debugging on R1.

R1# undebug all

Re-apply the frame-relay map ip command to S0/0/0 on R1, but without using the broadcast keyword.
R1(config)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# frame-relay map ip 10.1.1.2 103

g. Ping R1 from R3. Pings should be successful, but the EIGRP adjacency continues to flap. It may take a
few minutes between each message because of the EIGRP timers.

Step 3: Change the Frame Relay encapsulation type.

Cisco IOS software supports two types of Frame Relay encapsulation: the default Cisco encapsulation and
the standards-based IETF encapsulation.
a. Change the Frame Relay encapsulation on S0/0/1 on R3 to IETF.
R3(config)# interface s0/0/1
R3(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay ietf
b. Issue the show interfaces s0/0/1 command on R3 and FR. Even though the encapsulation is different on
each interface, the link is still active. This is because Cisco routers understand both types of incoming
frames. However, if you have routers from different vendors and you are using Frame Relay, then the
IETF standard must be used.
R3# show interfaces s0/0/1
Serial0/0/1 is up, line protocol is up

Keepalive set (10 sec)
LMI enq sent 0, LMI stat recvd 0, LMI upd recvd 0

Reset the R3 Frame Relay encapsulation back to Cisco (the default).

R3(config)# interface s0/0/1
R3(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay

Page 13 of 38

Lab Configuring Frame Relay and Subinterfaces

Step 4: Change the LMI type.

a. Issue the frame-relay lmi-type ansi command on interface S0/0/1 on R3.
R3(config-if)# frame-relay lmi-type ansi
b. After at least 60 seconds, issue the show interfaces s0/0/1 command on R3. When 60 seconds have
passed, the interface changes its state to up, then down, because R3 is expecting ANSI LMI, and FR is
sending Cisco LMI.
R3# show interfaces s0/0/1
Serial0/0/1 is up, line protocol is down
Hardware is WIC MBRD Serial
Internet address is 10.1.1.2/30
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit/sec, DLY 20000 usec,

LMI DLCI 0 LMI type is ANSI Annex D frame relay DTE segmentation inactive
FR SVC disabled, LAPF state down
Broadcast queue 0/64, broadcasts sent/dropped 733/0, interface broadcast
<output omitted>

On R3, issue the show frame-relay lmi command to display LMI information, including LMI type, number
of timeouts, and the amount of time since the last full update.
R3# show frame-relay lmi

d. On R3, issue the debug frame-relay lmi command. The LMI packets no longer display in pairs. While all
outgoing LMI messages are logged, no incoming messages display because R3 is expecting ANSI LMI,
and FR is sending Cisco LMI.
R3# debug frame-relay lmi

Lab Configuring Frame Relay and Subinterfaces

Part 5: Configure a Frame Relay Subinterface

Frame Relay supports two types of subinterfaces: point-to-point and point-to-multipoint. Point-to-multipoint
subinterfaces support non-broadcast multiaccess topologies. For example, a hub and spoke topology would
use a point-to-multipoint subinterface. In Part 5, you will create a point-to-point subinterface.

Step 1: On the FR router, create new PVCs between R1 and R3.

FR(config)# interface s0/0/0
FR(config-if)# frame-relay route 113 interface s0/0/1 311
FR(config-if)# interface s0/0/1
FR(config-if)# frame-relay route 311 interface s0/0/0 113

Step 2: Create and configure a point-to-point subinterface on R1 and R3.

Note: Frame Relay encapsulation must be specified on the physical interface before subinterfaces can be
created.
a. Create subinterface 113 as a point-to-point interface on R1.
R1(config)# interface s0/0/0.113 point-to-point
R1(config-subif)# ip address 10.1.1.5 255.255.255.252
R1(config-subif)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:d::1/64
R1(config-subif)# ipv6 address fe80::1 link-local
R1(config-subif)# frame-relay interface-dlci 113
R1(config-fr-dlci)#
b. Create subinterface 311 as a point-to-point subinterface on R3.
R3(config)# interface s0/0/1.311 point-to-point
R3(config-subif)# ip address 10.1.1.6 255.255.255.252
R3(config-subif)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:d::3/64
R3(config-subif)# ipv6 address fe80::3 link-local

Reflection
1. What is a PVC and how is it used?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
A PVC is a permanent virtual circuit. This is a Layer 2 connection created between endpoints through a
Frame Relay cloud. There can be multiple PVCs per physical interface, allowing multiple point-to-point
connections or point-to-multipoint connections.
2. What is the purpose of a DLCI?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
A DLCI is a Layer 2 Frame Relay address that Inverse ARP uses to obtain an associated Layer 3 IP address.
3. What purpose does the Local Management Interface (LMI) serve in a Frame Relay network?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
The LMI is a signaling protocol that exchanges information between a router and a Frame Relay switch. The
LMI exchanges information on keepalives, PVC status (active, inactive, deleted, unused), and IP addresses
(when Inverse ARP is enabled). This information is used as a status mechanism between the router (DTE)
and the Frame Relay switch (DCE).
4. Why would you use subinterfaces with Frame Relay?

Lab Configuring Frame Relay and Subinterfaces

Subinterfaces address the limitations of Frame Relay networks by providing a way to subdivide a partially
meshed Frame Relay network into a number of smaller, fully meshed, or point-to-point subnetworks. Each
subnetwork is assigned its own network number and appears to the protocols as if it were reachable through
a separate interface.

Lab Troubleshooting Basic Frame Relay

Background / Scenario
Frame Relay is a WAN protocol that operates at the physical and data link layers of the OSI reference model.
Unlike leased lines, Frame Relay requires only a single-access circuit to the Frame Relay provider to
communicate with multiple sites that are connected to the same provider. Configuring Frame Relay at the
customer site is generally simple; however, configuration problems can occur.
In this lab, R1 and R3 are experiencing problems communicating with each other. EIGRP is not working and
there may also be problems with the Frame Relay configuration. You have been assigned the job of finding
and correcting all problems on R1 and R3.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure,
contact your instructor.
Note: The FR router is acting as the Frame Relay switch, It does NOT have any configuration issues for you
to troubleshoot.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Required Resources

3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)

2 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)

Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports

Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

end

Step 4: Save your configuration.

Part 2: Troubleshoot Layer 3 Connectivity

In Part 2, you will verify that Layer 3 connectivity is established on all interfaces. You will need to test IPv4
connectivity for all device interfaces.

Step 1: Verify that the interfaces listed in the Addressing Table are active and configured with
the correct IP address information.
a. Issue the show ip interface brief command on R1 and R3 to verify that the interfaces are in an up/up
state.

Reflection
Describe the troubleshooting methodology you used to solve the issues in this lab. Outline the steps that were
necessary to successfully meet the assignment.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Answers will vary. Hopefully, students will answer that breaking a problem down into smaller steps helps with
troubleshooting. Solving IP addressing, then EIGRP and then Frame Relay issues separately instead of all at
once can make troubleshooting easier.

Frame Relay Budget Proposal (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Describe Frame Relay operation.
Instructor Note: This activity can be completed singularly or in small groups and then shared between groups or
with the class.

Scenario
It has been decided that your company will use Frame Relay technology to provide video connectivity between
your main office location and two branch offices. The company will also use the new network for redundancy in
case their current ISP network connectivity is interrupted for any reason.
As usual, with any kind of network upgrade, you must develop a cost proposal for your administrator.
After doing some research, you decide to use this Frame Relay web site for your cost analysis. Costs listed on the
site are representative of real ISP costs they are referenced only to help you create your cost analysis design.
For more detailed instructions, open the PDF accompanying this activity.

Resources

Packet Tracer software

Word processing or spreadsheet calculating software

Directions
Step 1: Use Packet Tracer to show your home office and two branch offices.
a. Use the Note tool to name the required three routers.
b. Include a Frame Relay router to show where connectivity will be placed on the ISP cloud.
c.

Include the ISP cloud in the topology so that the administrators can visualize where the new Frame Relay
service will connect to your Frame Relay device or router.

Step 2: Decide how many DLCI connections you need from your home office to your branch
offices.
a. Determine whether to use 1.544 T1 lines for all your DLCI circuits or combination bandwidth connections
of varying bandwidths.
b. Be able to justify your decisions made in Step 2a.

Step 3: Create a Frame Relay cost proposal matrix. Include approximate cost pricing found on
the Frame Relay web site. Include in your matrix:
a. Access costs to the ISP
1) Service area tariffs
2) Interstate area tariffs
b. Cost of the Frame Relay ports
c.

DLCI costs

Page 1 of 3

Frame Relay Budget Proposal

Instructor: Students can choose to design more than one matrix for their cost proposal; however, one matrix will
suffice to list all pricing or two can be designed to show one-time costs and monthly costs.
Ensure that all students are aware that Frame Relay costs are approximate and vary per ISP carrier and that
different ISPs charge different rates for different services.

Step 4: Present the cost analysis to solicit comments and approval from the company
administrators.

Conceptual NAT (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Describe NAT characteristics.
This activity introduces students to the concept of network address translation.

Scenario
You work for a large university or school system. Because you are the network administrator, many professors,
administrative workers, and other network administrators need your assistance with their networks on a daily
basis. They call you at all working hours of the day and, because of the number of telephone calls, you cannot
complete your regular network administration tasks.
You need to find a way to limit when you take calls and from whom. You also need to mask your telephone
number so that when you call someone, another number is displayed to the recipient.
This scenario describes a very common problem for most small- to medium-sized businesses. Visit, How
Network Address Translation Works located at http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm/printable to view more
information about how the digital world handles these types of workday interruptions.
Use the PDF provided accompanying this activity to reflect further on how a process, known as NAT, could be the
answer to this scenarios challenge.

Resources
Internet connection

Directions
Step 1: Read Information on the Internet Site.
a. Go to How Network Address Translation Works located at
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm/printable
b. Read the information provided to introduce the basic concepts of NAT.
c.

Record five facts you find to be interesting about the NAT process.

Step 2: View the NAT graphics.

a. On the same Internet page, look at the types of NAT that are available for configuration on most
networks.
b. Define the four NAT types:
1) Static NAT
2) Dynamic NAT
3) NAT Overload
4) NAT Overlap

Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Verify Connectivity
Part 2: Configure and Verify Static NAT
Part 3: Configure and Verify Dynamic NAT

Background / Scenario
Network Address Translation (NAT) is the process where a network device, such as a Cisco router, assigns a
public address to host devices inside a private network. The main reason to use NAT is to reduce the number
of public IP addresses that an organization uses because the number of available IPv4 public addresses is
limited.

Page 1 of 15

Lab Configuring Dynamic and Static NAT

In this lab, an ISP has allocated the public IP address space of 209.165.200.224/27 to a company. This
provides the company with 30 public IP addresses. The addresses, 209.165.200.225 to 209.165.200.241, are
for static allocation and 209.165.200.242 to 209.165.200.254 are for dynamic allocation. A static route is used
from the ISP to the gateway router, and a default route is used from the gateway to the ISP router. The ISP
connection to the Internet is simulated by a loopback address on the ISP router.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco
IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers and switch have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are
unsure, contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Required Resources

2 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)

1 Switch (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)

2 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)

Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports

Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Build the Network and Verify Connectivity

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings, such as the interface IP
addresses, static routing, device access, and passwords.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Attach the devices as shown in the topology diagram, and cable as necessary.

Step 2: Configure PC hosts.

Step 3: Initialize and reload the routers and switches as necessary.
Step 4: Configure basic settings for each router.
a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure IP addresses for the routers as listed in the Addressing Table.
c.

Set the clock rate to 128000 for the DCE serial interfaces.

d. Configure device name as shown in the topology.

e. Assign cisco as the console and vty passwords.
f.

Assign class as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password.

g. Configure logging synchronous to prevent console messages from interrupting the command entry.

Step 5: Create a simulated web server on ISP.

a. Create a local user named webuser with an encrypted password of webpass.

Page 2 of 15

Lab Configuring Dynamic and Static NAT

ISP(config)# username webuser privilege 15 secret webpass
b. Enable the HTTP server service on ISP.
ISP(config)# ip http server
c.

Configure the HTTP service to use the local user database.

ISP(config)# ip http authentication local

Step 6: Configure static routing.

a. Create a static route from the ISP router to the Gateway router using the assigned public network address
range 209.165.200.224/27.
ISP(config)# ip route 209.165.200.224 255.255.255.224 209.165.201.18
b. Create a default route from the Gateway router to the ISP router.
Gateway(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.165.201.17

Step 7: Save the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Step 8: Verify network connectivity.
a. From the PC hosts, ping the G0/1 interface on the Gateway router. Troubleshoot if the pings are
unsuccessful.
b. Display the routing tables on both routers to verify that the static routes are in the routing table and
configured correctly on both routers.

Part 2: Configure and Verify Static NAT

Static NAT uses a one-to-one mapping of local and global addresses, and these mappings remain constant.
Static NAT is particularly useful for web servers or devices that must have static addresses that are
accessible from the Internet.

Step 1: Configure a static mapping.

A static map is configured to tell the router to translate between the private inside server address
192.168.1.20 and the public address 209.165.200.225. This allows a user from the Internet to access PC-A.
PC-A is simulating a server or device with a constant address that can be accessed from the Internet.
Gateway(config)# ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.20 209.165.200.225

Step 2: Specify the interfaces.

Issue the ip nat inside and ip nat outside commands to the interfaces.
Gateway(config)# interface g0/1
Gateway(config-if)# ip nat inside
Gateway(config-if)# interface s0/0/1
Gateway(config-if)# ip nat outside

Step 3: Test the configuration.

a. Display the static NAT table by issuing the show ip nat translations command.
Gateway# show ip nat translations
Pro Inside global
--- 209.165.200.225

The Inside local address is assigned by?
____________________________________________________________________________________
The administrator for the workstation.
b. From PC-A, ping the Lo0 interface (192.31.7.1) on ISP. If the ping was unsuccessful, troubleshoot and
correct the issues. On the Gateway router, display the NAT table.
Gateway# show ip nat translations
Pro Inside global

A NAT entry was added to the table with ICMP listed as the protocol when PC-A sent an ICMP request
(ping) to 192.31.7.1 on ISP.
What port number was used in this ICMP exchange? ________________ 1, answers will vary.
Note: It may be necessary to disable the PC-A firewall for the ping to be successful.
c.

From PC-A, telnet to the ISP Lo0 interface and display the NAT table.
Pro Inside global

Note: The NAT for the ICMP request may have timed out and been removed from the NAT table.
What was the protocol used in this translation? ____________ tcp
What are the port numbers used?
Inside global / local: ________________ 1034, answers will vary.
Outside global / local: ________________ 23
d. Because static NAT was configured for PC-A, verify that pinging from ISP to PC-A at the static NAT public
address (209.165.200.225) is successful.
e. On the Gateway router, display the NAT table to verify the translation.
Gateway# show ip nat translations
Pro Inside global
Inside local
icmp 209.165.200.225:12 192.168.1.20:12

---

Outside global
209.165.201.17:12
---

Notice that the Outside local and Outside global addresses are the same. This address is the ISP remote
network source address. For the ping from the ISP to succeed, the Inside global static NAT address
209.165.200.225 was translated to the Inside local address of PC-A (192.168.1.20).
f.

Verify NAT statistics by using the show ip nat statistics command on the Gateway router.
Gateway# show ip nat statistics

Part 3: Configure and Verify Dynamic NAT

Dynamic NAT uses a pool of public addresses and assigns them on a first-come, first-served basis. When an
inside device requests access to an outside network, dynamic NAT assigns an available public IPv4 address
from the pool. Dynamic NAT results in a many-to-many address mapping between local and global
addresses.

Step 1: Clear NATs.

Before proceeding to add dynamic NATs, clear the NATs and statistics from Part 2.
Gateway# clear ip nat translation *
Gateway# clear ip nat statistics

Step 2: Define an access control list (ACL) that matches the LAN private IP address range.
ACL 1 is used to allow 192.168.1.0/24 network to be translated.
Gateway(config)# access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

Step 3: Verify that the NAT interface configurations are still valid.
Issue the show ip nat statistics command on the Gateway router to verify the NAT configurations.
Gateway# show ip nat statistics

Step 4: Define the pool of usable public IP addresses.

Gateway(config)# ip nat pool public_access 209.165.200.242 209.165.200.254
netmask 255.255.255.224

Step 5: Define the NAT from the inside source list to the outside pool.
Note: Remember that NAT pool names are case-sensitive and the pool name entered here must match
that used in the previous step.
Gateway(config)# ip nat inside source list 1 pool public_access

Step 6: Test the configuration.

a. From PC-B, ping the Lo0 interface (192.31.7.1) on ISP. If the ping was unsuccessful, troubleshoot and
correct the issues. On the Gateway router, display the NAT table.
Gateway# show ip nat translations
Pro Inside global

A dynamic NAT entry was added to the table with ICMP as the protocol when PC-B sent an ICMP
message to 192.31.7.1 on ISP.
What port number was used in this ICMP exchange? ______________ 1, answers will vary.
b. From PC-B, open a browser and enter the IP address of the ISP-simulated web server (Lo0 interface).
When prompted, log in as webuser with a password of webpass.
c.

Display the NAT table.

Reflection
1. Why would NAT be used in a network?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Answers will vary, but should include: whenever there are not enough public IP addresses and to avoid the
cost of purchasing public addresses from an ISP. NAT can also provide a measure of security by hiding
internal addresses from outside networks.
2. What are the limitations of NAT?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
NAT needs IP information or port number information in the IP header and TCP header of packets for
translation. Here is a partial list of protocols that cannot be used with NAT: SNMP, LDAP, Kerberos version 5.

Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Verify Connectivity
Part 2: Configure and Verify NAT Pool Overload
Part 3: Configure and Verify PAT

Background / Scenario
In the first part of the lab, your company is allocated the public IP address range of 209.165.200.224/29 by
the ISP. This provides the company with six public IP addresses. Dynamic NAT pool overload uses a pool of
IP addresses in a many-to-many relationship. The router uses the first IP address in the pool and assigns

Page 1 of 12

Lab Configuring Port Address Translation (PAT)

connections using the IP address plus a unique port number. After the maximum number of translations for a
single IP address have been reached on the router (platform and hardware specific), it uses the next IP
address in the pool. NAT pool overload is a form port address translation (PAT) that overloads a group of
public IPv4 addresses.
In Part 2, the ISP has allocated a single IP address, 209.165.201.18, to your company for use on the Internet
connection from the company Gateway router to the ISP. You will use the PAT to convert multiple internal
addresses into the one usable public address. You will test, view, and verify that the translations are taking
place, and you will interpret the NAT/PAT statistics to monitor the process.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco
IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers and switch have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are
unsure, contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Required Resources

2 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)

1 Switch (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)

3 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)

Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports

Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Build the Network and Verify Connectivity

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings, such as the interface IP
addresses, static routing, device access, and passwords.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Step 2: Configure PC hosts.
Step 3: Initialize and reload the routers and switches.
Step 4: Configure basic settings for each router.
a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure IP addresses for the routers as listed in the Addressing Table.
c.

Set the clock rate to 128000 for DCE serial interface.

d. Configure device name as shown in the topology.

e. Assign cisco as the console and vty passwords.
f.

Assign class as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password.

g. Configure logging synchronous to prevent console messages from interrupting the command entry.

Page 2 of 12

Lab Configuring Port Address Translation (PAT)

Step 5: Configure static routing.

a. Create a static route from the ISP router to the Gateway router.
ISP(config)# ip route 209.165.200.224 255.255.255.248 209.165.201.18
b. Create a default route from the Gateway router to the ISP router.
Gateway(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.165.201.17

Step 6: Verify network connectivity.

a. From the PC hosts, ping the G0/1 interface on the Gateway router. Troubleshoot if the pings are
unsuccessful.
b. Verify that the static routes are configured correctly on both routers.

Part 2: Configure and Verify NAT Pool Overload

In Part 2, you will configure the Gateway router to translate the IP addresses from the 192.168.1.0/24 network
to one of the six usable addresses in the 209.165.200.224/29 range.

Step 1: Define an access control list that matches the LAN private IP addresses.
ACL 1 is used to allow the 192.168.1.0/24 network to be translated.
Gateway(config)# access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

Step 2: Define the pool of usable public IP addresses.

Gateway(config)# ip nat pool public_access 209.165.200.225
netmask 255.255.255.248

209.165.200.230

Step 3: Define the NAT from the inside source list to the outside pool.
Gateway(config)# ip nat inside source list 1 pool public_access overload

Step 4: Specify the interfaces.

Step 5: Verify the NAT pool overload configuration.

a. From each PC host, ping the 192.31.7.1 address on the ISP router.
b. Display NAT statistics on the Gateway router.
Gateway# show ip nat statistics
Total active translations: 3 (0 static, 3 dynamic; 3 extended)

Note: Depending on how much time has elapsed since you performed the pings from each PC, you may
not see all three translations. ICMP translations have a short timeout value.
How many Inside local IP addresses are listed in the sample output above? __________ 3
How many Inside global IP addresses are listed? __________ 1
How many port numbers are used paired with the Inside global addresses? _________ 3
What would be the result of pinging the Inside local address of PC-A from the ISP router? Why?
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
The ping would fail because the router knows the location of the Inside global address in its routing table
but the Inside local address is not advertised.

Part 3: Configure and Verify PAT

In Part 3, you will configure PAT by using an interface instead of a pool of addresses to define the outside
address. Not all of the commands in Part 2 will be reused in Part 3.

Step 1: Clear NATs and statistics on the Gateway router.

Step 2: Verify the configuration for NAT.
a. Verify that statistics have been cleared.
b. Verify that the outside and inside interfaces are configured for NATs.
c.

Verify that the ACL is still configured for NATs.

What command did you use to confirm the results from steps a to c?
____________________________________________________________________________________

Gateway# show ip nat statistics

Step 3: Remove the pool of useable public IP addresses.

Gateway(config)# no ip nat pool public_access 209.165.200.225 209.165.200.230
netmask 255.255.255.248

Step 4: Remove the NAT translation from inside source list to outside pool.
Gateway(config)# no ip nat inside source list 1 pool public_access overload

Step 5: Associate the source list with the outside interface.

Gateway(config)# ip nat inside source list 1 interface serial 0/0/1 overload

Step 6: Test the PAT configuration.

a. From each PC, ping the 192.31.7.1 address on the ISP router.
b. Display NAT statistics on the Gateway router.

Reflection
What advantages does PAT provide?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Answers will vary, but should include that PAT minimizes the number of public addresses needed to provide
Internet access, and that PAT, like NAT, serves to hide private addresses from outside networks.

Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings
Part 2: Troubleshoot Static NAT
Part 3: Troubleshoot Dynamic NAT

Background / Scenario
In this lab, the Gateway router was configured by an inexperienced network administrator at your company.
Several errors in the configuration have resulted in NAT issues. Your boss has asked you to troubleshoot and
correct the NAT errors and document your work. Ensure that the network supports the following:

PC-A acts as a web server with a static NAT and will be reachable from the outside using the
209.165.200.254 address.

Page 1 of 14

Lab - Troubleshooting NAT Configurations

PC-B acts as a host computer and dynamically receives an IP address from the created pool of
addresses called NAT_POOL, which uses the 209.165.200.240/29 range.

Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco
IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers and switch have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are
unsure, contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports

Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure the routers with basic settings. Additional NATrelated configurations are provided. The NAT configurations for the Gateway router contains errors that you
will identify and correct as you proceed through the lab.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Step 2: Configure PC hosts.
Step 3: Initialize and reload the switch and routers.
Step 4: Configure basic settings for each router.
a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure device name as shown in the topology.
c.

Configure IP addresses as listed in the Address Table.

d. Set the clock rate to 128000 for DCE serial interfaces.

e. Assign cisco as the console and vty password.
f.

Assign class as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password.

g. Configure logging synchronous to prevent console messages from interrupting the command entry.

Step 5: Configure static routing.

a. Create a static route from the ISP router to the Gateway router-assigned public network address range
209.165.200.224/27.
ISP(config)# ip route 209.165.200.224 255.255.255.224 s0/0/0

Page 2 of 14

Lab - Troubleshooting NAT Configurations

b. Create a default route from the Gateway router to the ISP router.
Gateway(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/0/1

Step 6: Load router configurations.

The configurations for the routers are provided for you. There are errors with the configuration for the
Gateway router. Identify and correct the configurations errors.

end

Step 7: Save the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Part 2: Troubleshoot Static NAT

In Part 2, you will examine the static NAT for PC-A to determine if it is configured correctly. You will
troubleshoot the scenario until the correct static NAT is verified.
a. To troubleshoot issues with NAT, use the debug ip nat command. Turn on NAT debugging to see
translations in real-time across the Gateway router.
Gateway# debug ip nat
b. From PC-A, ping Lo0 on the ISP router. Do any NAT debug translations appear on the Gateway router?
____________________________________________________________________________________
No.
c.

On the Gateway router, enter the command that allows you to see all current NAT translations on the
Gateway router. Write the command in the space below.
____________________________________________________________________________________
show ip nat translations

---

Why are you seeing a NAT translation in the table, but none occurred when PC-A pinged the ISP
loopback interface? What is needed to correct the issue?
____________________________________________________________________________________
The static translation is for an incorrect inside local address.
d. Record any commands that are necessary to correct the static NAT configuration error.

e. From PC-A, ping Lo0 on the ISP router. Do any NAT debug translations appear on the Gateway router?
____________________________________________________________________________________
No
f.

On the Gateway router, enter the command that allows you to observe the total number of current NATs.
Write the command in the space below.
____________________________________________________________________________________

Reflection
1. What is the benefit of a static NAT?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
A static NAT translation allows users from outside the LAN access to the computer or server on the internal
network.
2. What issues would arise if 10 host computers in this network were attempting simultaneous Internet
communication?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Not enough public addresses exist in the NAT pool to satisfy 10 simultaneous user sessions, but as hosts
drop off different hosts will be able to claim the pool addresses to access the Internet.

NAT Check (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Configure, verify and analyze static NAT, dynamic NAT and NAT with overloading.
Instructor Note: This activity can be completed individually or in small or large groups.

Scenario
Network address translation is not currently included in your companys network design. It has been decided to
configure some devices to use NAT services for connecting to the mail server.
Before deploying NAT live on the network, you prototype it using a network simulation program.

Resources

Packet Tracer software

Word processing or presentation software

Directions
Step 1: Create a very small network topology using Packet Tracer, including, at minimum:
a. Two 1941 routers, interconnected
b. Two LAN switches, one per router
c.

One mail server, connected to the LAN on one router

d. One PC or laptop, connected the LAN on the other router

Step 2: Address the topology.

a. Use private addressing for all networks, hosts, and device.
b. DHCP addressing of the PC or laptop is optional.
c.

Static addressing of the mail server is mandatory.

Step 3: Configure a routing protocol for the network.

Step 4: Validate full network connectivity without NAT services.
a. Ping from one end of the topology and back to ensure the network is functioning fully.
b. Troubleshoot and correct any problems preventing full network functionality.

Step 5: Configure NAT services on either router from the host PC or laptop to the mail server
Step 6: Produce output validating NAT operations on the simulated network.
a. Use the show ip nat statistics, show access-lists, and show ip nat translations commands to gather
information about NATs operation on the router
b. Copy and paste or save screenshots of the topology and output information to a word processing or
presentation document.

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Select broadband solutions to support remote connectivity in a small- to medium-sized business network.
Instructor Note:

This activity can be completed individually or in small groups.

The three major types of broadband transmission as specified in the chapter content are the focus of this
activity.

Scenario
Telework employment opportunities are expanding in your local area every day. You have been offered
employment as a teleworker for a major corporation. The new employer requires teleworkers to have access the
Internet to fulfill their job responsibilities.
Research the following broadband Internet connection types that are available in your geographic area:

DSL

Cable

Satellite

Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each broadband variation as you notate your research, which
may include cost, speed, security, and ease of implementation or installation.

Resources

World Wide Web access

Word processing software

Step 1: Research three major types of broadband Internet connections:

DSL

Cable

Satellite

Step 2: Decide which broadband options would be important to you as a teleworker in your
small or home office:

Cost

Speed

Security

Ease of implementation

Reliability

Page 1 of 2

Broadband Varieties

Step 3: Using the options from Step 2, create a matrix that lists the advantages and
disadvantages of each broadband type.
Step 4: Share your research with the class or another group.

Suggested Activity Examples:

Broadband Variations*
Broadband Type
DSL

Advantages
High-speed downloads of up to
1.5 Mb/s, which can be more or
less depending on the ISP.

Not every telephone line will work;

the ISP may need to perform an
analysis.

Business-level DSL service offers

guaranteed data rates.

Speed drops as you get further

from telephone company central
office.

Uses existing telephone wiring, but

allows Internet use and land-line
telephone use at the same time.
Cable

May not be as widely available as

cable.

Speeds are not dependent on

distance from central office.

May require professional

installation.

Faster maximum speeds (2 Mb/s+)

than DSL, which depends upon
ISP.

Line shared with others in

neighborhood; speeds can vary.

May be cheaper than DSL,

especially when bundled with TV.
Satellite

Disadvantages

Gives a broadband option to rural

areas or non-traditional locations,
although there are virtually no
geographic restrictions.
Download speeds are comparable
to DSL and Cable, with 1 Mb/s
download.

May place limits on data

downloads and uploads
determined by the ISP.
Can experience disruptions due to
weather.
May be more expensive than DSL
or cable due to equipment required
(satellite dish).
Lower speeds can result due to
latency of satellite signals.

Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network
Part 2: Configure the ISP Router
Part 3: Configure the Cust1 Router

Background / Scenario
ISPs often use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) on DSL links to their customers. PPP supports
the assignment of IP address information to a device at the remote end of a PPP link. More importantly, PPP
supports CHAP authentication. ISPs can check accounting records to see if a customers bill has been paid,
before letting them connect to the Internet.
In this lab, you will configure both the client and ISP side of the connection to set up PPPoE. Typically, you
would only configure the client end.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco
IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Ensure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are
unsure, contact your instructor.

g. Set console logging to synchronous mode.

h. Save your configuration.

Part 2: Configure the ISP Router

In Part 2, you configure the ISP router with PPPoE parameters for connection from the Cust1 router.
Note: Many of the ISP router PPPoE configuration commands are beyond the scope of the course; however,
they are necessary for completion of the lab. They can be copied and pasted into the ISP router at the global
configuration mode prompt.
a. Create a local database username Cust1 with a password of ciscopppoe.
ISP(config)# username Cust1 password ciscopppoe
b. Create a pool of addresses that will be assigned to customers.
ISP(config)# ip local pool PPPoEPOOL 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.10
c.

Create the Virtual Template and associate the IP address of G0/1 with it. Associate the Virtual Template
with the pool of addresses. Configure CHAP to authenticate customers.
ISP(config)# interface virtual-template 1
ISP(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.254 255.255.255.0
ISP(config-if)# mtu 1492
ISP(config-if)# peer default ip address pool PPPoEPOOL
ISP(config-if)# ppp authentication chap callin
ISP(config-if)# exit

Page 2 of 10

Lab Configuring a Router as a PPPoE Client for DSL Connectivity

d. Assign the template to the PPPoE group.
ISP(config)# bba-group pppoe global
ISP(config-bba-group)# virtual-template 1
ISP(config-bba-group)# exit
e. Associate the bba-group with the G0/1 physical interface.
ISP(config)# interface g0/1
ISP(config-if# pppoe enable group global
ISP(config-if)# no shutdown

Part 3: Configure the Cust1 Router

In Part 3, you will configure the Cust1 router with PPPoE parameters.
a. Configure G0/1 interface for PPPoE connectivity.
Cust1(config)# interface g0/1
Cust1(config-if)# pppoe enable
Cust1(config-if)# pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1
Cust1(config-if)# exit
b. Associate the G0/1 interface with a dialer interface. Use the username Cust1 and password ciscopppoe
configured in Part 2.
Cust1(config)# interface dialer 1
Cust1(config-if)# mtu 1492
Cust1(config-if)# ip address negotiated
Cust1(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
Cust1(config-if)# dialer pool 1
Cust1(config-if)# ppp authentication chap callin
Cust1(config-if)# ppp chap hostname Cust1
Cust1(config-if)# ppp chap password ciscopppoe
Cust1(config-if)# exit
c.

Set up a static default route pointing to the Dialer interface.

Cust1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer 1

d. Set up debugging on the Cust1 router to display PPP and PPPoE negotiation.
Cust1# debug ppp authentication
Cust1# debug pppoe events
e. Enable the G0/1 interface on the Cust1 router and observe the debug output as the PPPoE dialer session
is established and CHAP authentication takes place.

Reflection
Why do ISPs who use DSL, primarily use PPPoE with their customers?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
The PPP protocol supports authentication over an Ethernet link. ISPs can authenticate customers and issue
an IP address.

Telework Proposal (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Describe the business requirements of teleworking.
Instructor Note: This activity can be completed individually or in small groups.

Scenario
Your small- to medium-sized business has just been awarded a large marketing design contract. Because your
office space is limited, it has been decided that it would be a good idea to hire teleworkers to help with the
contract.
Therefore, a very general teleworking program must be designed for your company due to anticipation of
company growth. As more contracts are awarded, you will revise and expand the program to fit your companys
needs.
Develop a basic telework proposal outline for your company to consider as groundwork for a telework program.

Resources

World Wide Web access

Word processing software

Step 1: Research documented telework programs using the Internet.

a. Notate information found to be important to established telework programs and record the source URLs
of this research.
b. At a minimum, include the following proposal areas:
1) Telework tasks to be considered.
2) Employee selection methods to be used.
3) Equipment that may be needed by the teleworker.
4) Possible communication methods.
5) Techniques that could be used to evaluate the telework program.

Step 2: Design a basic telework program requirements outline.

Step 3: Share your proposal with another student, the class, or another group.

VPNs at a Glance (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Explain the use of VPNs in securing site-to-site connectivity in a small- to medium-sized business network.
Instructor Note: This is an individual, student-based activity which then moves into a small, group-based activity
for discussion and design purposes. Once the small, group-based activity is completed, students will deliver a
presentation to the entire class.

Scenario
A small- to medium-sized business is growing and needs customers, teleworkers, and wired/wireless employees
to be able to access the main network from any location. As the network administrator for the business, you have
decided to implement VPNs for security, network access ease, and cost savings.
It is your job to ensure that all of the network administrators start the VPN planning process with the same
knowledge set.
Four basic VPN informational areas need to be researched and presented to the network administrative team:

Concise definition of VPNs

Some general VPN facts

IPsec as a VPN security option

Ways VPNs use tunneling

Resources

World Wide Web access

Word processing or presentation software

Directions
Step 1: Individual students research all four of the following topics and take notes on their
research:
a. Topic 1: A concise definition of VPNs
b. Topic 2: Five general facts about VPNs
c.

Topic 3: IPsec defined as a security option when using VPNs

d. Topic 4: A graphic showing how VPNs use tunneling

Step 2: After students research their topics, groups of four students will be formed to discuss
their individual research.
a. Each group will agree on
1) One concise VPN definition
2) Five facts describing VPNs
3) One definition of IPsec as a VPN security option
4) One graphic showing a VPN network using tunneling

Page 1 of 2

Network Maintenance Development

Step 3: Each group will design a four-slide presentation (one slide per topic) to deliver to the
class for discussion.

Instructor Example Activity Solution (all group presentations will vary)

Topic 1 - VPN Definition - How VPNs Work
A VPN is a private network that uses a public network (usually the Internet) to connect remote sites or users
together. The VPN uses "virtual" connections routed through the Internet from the business's private network
to the remote site or employee. By using a VPN, businesses ensure security -- anyone intercepting the
encrypted data can't read it.
Topic 2 - Five general facts about VPNs - VPN - Virtual Private Network

A VPN uses public networks to send and receive private network data using special protocols.

VPNs utilize a client and server approach.

VPN clients authenticate users.

Data is encrypted over most VPN systems.

VPNs use servers to configure tunneling on the network.

Topic 3 - IPsec as a security option - Encryption and Security Protocols in a VPN

IPsec is a widely used protocol for securing traffic on IP networks, including the Internet. IPsec can encrypt
data between various devices, including router to router, firewall to router, desktop to router, and desktop to
server.

Objectives
Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings
Part 2: Configure a GRE Tunnel
Part 3: Enable Routing over the GRE Tunnel

Background / Scenario
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol that can encapsulate a variety of network layer
protocols between two locations over a public network, such as the Internet.
GRE can be used with:
-

Connecting IPv6 networks over IPv4 networks

Multicast packets, such as OSPF, EIGRP, and streaming applications

In this lab, you will configure an unencrypted point-to-point GRE VPN tunnel and verify that network traffic is
using the tunnel. You will also configure the OSPF routing protocol inside the GRE VPN tunnel. The GRE
tunnel is between the WEST and EAST routers in OSPF area 0. The ISP has no knowledge of the GRE
tunnel. Communication between the WEST and EAST routers and the ISP is accomplished using default
static routes.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco
IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you
are unsure, contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Required Resources

3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)

2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)

2 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)

Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports

Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic router settings, such as the interface IP
addresses, routing, device access, and passwords.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Step 2: Initialize and reload the routers and switches.
Step 3: Configure basic settings for each router.
a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure the device names.
c.

Encrypt plain text passwords.

d. Create a message of the day (MOTD) banner warning users that unauthorized access is prohibited.
e. Assign class as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password.
f.

Assign cisco as the console and vty password and enable login.

g. Set console logging to synchronous mode.

h. Apply IP addresses to Serial and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces according to the Addressing Table and
activate the physical interfaces. Do NOT configure the Tunnel0 interfaces at this time.
i.

Set the clock rate to 128000 for DCE serial interfaces.

Step 4: Configure default routes to the ISP router.

WEST(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.2
EAST(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.2.2.2

Step 5: Configure the PCs.

Assign IP addresses and default gateways to the PCs according to the Addressing Table.

Step 6: Verify connectivity.

At this point, the PCs are unable to ping each other. Each PC should be able to ping its default gateway. The
routers are able to ping the serial interfaces of the other routers in the topology. If not, troubleshoot until you
can verify connectivity.

Step 7: Save your running configuration.

Part 2: Configure a GRE Tunnel

In Part 2, you will configure a GRE tunnel between the WEST and EAST routers.

Step 1: Configure the GRE tunnel interface.

a. Configure the tunnel interface on the WEST router. Use S0/0/0 on WEST as the tunnel source interface
and 10.2.2.1 as the tunnel destination on the EAST router.
WEST(config)# interface tunnel 0
WEST(config-if)# ip address 172.16.12.1 255.255.255.252
WEST(config-if)# tunnel source s0/0/0
WEST(config-if)# tunnel destination 10.2.2.1
b. Configure the tunnel interface on the EAST router. Use S0/0/1 on EAST as the tunnel source interface
and 10.1.1.1 as the tunnel destination on the WEST router.
EAST(config)# interface tunnel 0
EAST(config-if)# ip address 172.16.12.2 255.255.255.252
EAST(config-if)# tunnel source 10.2.2.1
EAST(config-if)# tunnel destination 10.1.1.1
Note: For the tunnel source command, either the interface name or the IP address can be used as the
source.

Step 2: Verify that the GRE tunnel is functional.

a. Verify the status of the tunnel interface on the WEST and EAST routers.

f.

The ping and traceroute commands should be successful. If not, troubleshoot before continuing to the
next part.

Part 3: Enable Routing over the GRE Tunnel

In Part 3, you will configure OSPF routing so that the LANs on the WEST and EAST routers can communicate
using the GRE tunnel.
After the GRE tunnel is set up, the routing protocol can be implemented. For GRE tunneling, a network
statement will include the IP network of the tunnel, instead of the network associated with the serial interface.
just like you would with other interfaces, such as Serial and Ethernet. Remember that the ISP router is not
participating in this routing process.

Step 1: Configure OSPF routing for area 0 over the tunnel.

a. Configure OSPF process ID 1 using area 0 on the WEST router for the 172.16.1.0/24 and 172.16.12.0/24
networks.
WEST(config)# router ospf 1
WEST(config-router)# network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
WEST(config-router)# network 172.16.12.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
b. Configure OSPF process ID 1 using area 0 on the EAST router for the 172.16.2.0/24 and 172.16.12.0/24
networks.
EAST(config)# router ospf 1
EAST(config-router)# network 172.16.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
EAST(config-router)# network 172.16.12.0 0.0.0.3 area 0

Step 2: Verify OSPF routing.

a. From the WEST router, issue the show ip route command to verify the route to 172.16.2.0/24 LAN on
the EAST router.
WEST# show ip route

Step 3: Verify end-to-end connectivity.

a. Ping from PC-A to PC-C. It should be successful. If not, troubleshoot until you have end-to-end
connectivity.
Note: It may be necessary to disable the PC firewall to ping between PCs.
b. Traceroute from PC-A to PC-C. What is the path from PC-A to PC-C?

Reflection
1. What other configurations are needed to create a secured GRE tunnel?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
IPsec can be configured to encrypt the data for a secured GRE tunnel.
2. If you added more LANs to the WEST or EAST router, what would you need to do so that the network will use
the GRE tunnel for traffic?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
The new networks would need to be added to the same routing protocols as the tunnel interface.

VPN Planning Design (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Explain the use of VPNs in securing site-to-site connectivity in a small- to medium-sized business network.
Instructor Note: This activity is best completed in small groups. It can then be shared with another group, the
class, or the instructor (as a group project).

Scenario
Your small- to medium-sized business has received quite a few new contracts lately. This has increased the need
for teleworkers and workload outsourcing. The new contract vendors and clients will also need access to your
network as the projects progress.
As network administrator for the business, you recognize that VPNs must be incorporated as a part of your
network strategy to support secure access by the teleworkers, employees, and vendors or clients.
To prepare for implementation of VPNs on the network, you devise a planning checklist to bring to the next
department meeting for discussion.

Objectives
Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings
Part 2: Configure NTP
Part 3: Configure Syslog

Background / Scenario
Syslog messages that are generated by the network devices can be collected and archived on a syslog
server. The information can be used for monitoring, debugging, and troubleshooting purposes. The
administrator can control where the messages are stored and displayed. Syslog messages can be timestamped for analysis of the sequence of network events; therefore, it is important to synchronize the clock
across the network devices with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
In this lab, you will configure R1 as the NTP server and R2 as a Syslog and NTP client. The syslog server
application, such as Tftp32d or other similar program, will be running on PC-B. Furthermore, you will control
the severity level of log messages that are collected and archived on the syslog server.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure,
contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

software, such as tftpd32)

Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports

Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings, such as the interface IP
addresses, routing, device access, and passwords.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Step 2: Initialize and reload the routers as necessary.
Step 3: Configure basic settings for each router.
a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure the device name.
c.

Encrypt plain text passwords.

d. Create a message of the day (MOTD) banner warning users that unauthorized access is prohibited.
e. Assign class as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password.
f.

Assign cisco as the console and vty password and enable login.

g. Set console logging to synchronous mode.

h. Apply the IP addresses to Serial and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces according to the Addressing Table and
activate the physical interfaces.
i.

Set the clock rate to 128000 for the DCE serial interface.

Step 4: Configure routing.

Enable single-area OSPF on the routers with process ID 1. Add all the networks into the OSPF process for
area 0.

Step 5: Configure PC-B.

Configure the IP address and default gateway for PC-B according to the Addressing Table.

Step 6: Verify end-to-end connectivity.

Verify that each device is able to ping every other device in the network successfully. If not, troubleshoot until
there is end-to-end connectivity.

Step 7: Save the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Page 2 of 14

Lab Configuring Syslog and NTP

Part 2: Configure NTP

In Part 2, you will configure R1 as the NTP server and R2 as the NTP client of R1. Synchronized time is
important for syslog and debug functions. If the time is not synchronized, it is difficult to determine what
network event caused the message.

Step 1: Display the current time.

Issue the show clock command to display the current time on R1.
R1# show clock
*12:30:06.147 UTC Tue May 14 2013

Record the information regarding the current time displayed in the following table.
Date

Answer will vary. In this example: May 14, 2013

Time

Answer will vary. In this example: 12:30:06.147

Time Zone

Answer will vary. In this example: UTC

Step 2: Set the time.

Use the clock set command to set the time on R1. The following is an example of setting the date and time.
R1# clock set 9:39:00 05 july 2013
R1#
*Jul 5 09:39:00.000: %SYS-6-CLOCKUPDATE: System clock has been updated from 12:30:54
UTC Tue May 14 2013 to 09:39:00 UTC Fri Jul 5 2013, configured from console by
console.

Note: The time can also be set using the clock timezone command in the global configuration mode. For
more information regarding this command, research the clock timezone command at www.cisco.com to
determine the zone for your region.

Step 3: Configure the NTP master.

Configure R1 as the NTP master by using the ntp master stratum-number command in global configuration
mode. The stratum number indicates the number of NTP hops away from an authoritative time source. In this
lab, the number 5 is the stratum level of this NTP server.
R1(config)# ntp master 5

Step 4: Configure the NTP client.

a. Issue show clock command on R2. Record the current time displayed on R2 in the following table.
Date

Answer will vary.

Time

Answer will vary.

Time Zone

Answer will vary.

b. Configure R2 as the NTP client. Use the ntp server command to point to the IP address or hostname of
the NTP server. The ntp update-calendar command periodically updates the calendar with NTP time.
R2(config)# ntp server 10.1.1.1
R2(config)# ntp update-calendar

Page 3 of 14

Lab Configuring Syslog and NTP

Step 5: Verify NTP configuration.

a. Use the show ntp associations command to verify that R2 has an NTP association with R1.
R2# show ntp associations
address
ref clock
st
when
poll reach delay offset
disp

* sys.peer, # selected, + candidate, - outlyer, x falseticker, ~ configured

b. Issue show clock on R1 and R2 to compare the timestamp.

Note: It could take a few minutes before the timestamp on R2 is synchronized with R1.
R1# show clock
09:43:32.799 UTC Fri Jul 5 2013

R2# show clock

09:43:37.122 UTC Fri Jul 5 2013

Part 3: Configure Syslog

Syslog messages from network devices can be collected and archived on a syslog server. In this lab, Tftpd32
will be used as the syslog server software. The network administrator can control the types of messages that
can be sent to the syslog server.

Step 1: (Optional) Install syslog server.

If a syslog server is not already installed on the PC, download and install the latest version of a syslog server,
such as Tftpd32, on the PC. The latest version of Tftpd32 can be found at the following link:
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/

Step 2: Start the syslog server on PC-B.

After starting the Tftpd32 application, click the syslog server tab.

Page 4 of 14

Lab Configuring Syslog and NTP

Step 3: Verify that the timestamp service is enabled on R2.

Use the show run command to verify that the timestamp service is enabled for logging on R2.
R2# show run | include timestamp
service timestamps debug datetime msec
service timestamps log datetime msec

If the timestamp service is not enabled, use the following command to enable it.
R2(config)# service timestamps log datetime msec

Step 4: Configure R2 to log messages to the syslog server.

Configure R2 to send Syslog messages to the syslog server, PC-B. The IP address of the PC-B syslog server
is 172.16.2.3.
R2(config)# logging host 172.16.2.3

Step 5: Display the default logging settings.

Use the show logging command to display the default logging settings.
R2# show logging
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 2 messages rate-limited, 0 flushes, 0
overruns, xml disabled, filtering disabled)
No Active Message Discriminator.

No Inactive Message Discriminator.

Console logging: level debugging, 47 messages logged, xml disabled,

What is the IP address of the syslog server? ____________________________________ 172.16.2.3
What protocol and port is syslog using? ____________________________________ UDP port 514
At what level is trap logging enabled? ____________________________________ informational

Step 6: Configure and observe the effect of logging severity levels on R2.
a. Use the logging trap ? command to determine the various trap levels availability. When configuring a
level, the messages sent to the syslog server are the trap level configured and any lower levels.
R2(config)# logging trap ?
<0-7>
alerts
critical
debugging
emergencies
errors

Warning conditions

(severity=1)
(severity=2)
(severity=7)
(severity=0)
(severity=3)
(severity=6)
(severity=5)
(severity=4)

If the logging trap warnings command was issued, which severity levels of messages are logged?
____________________________________________________________________________________
warnings (level 4) errors (level 3), critical (level 2), alerts (level 1), and emergency (level 0)
b. Change the logging severity level to 4.
R2(config)# logging trap warnings
or
R2(config)# logging trap 4
c.

Create interface Loopback0 on R2 and observe the log messages on both the terminal window and the
syslog server window on PC-B.
R2(config)# interface lo 0
R2(config-if)#
Jul 5 09:57:47.162: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Loopback0, changed state to up
Jul 5 09:57:48.162: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Loopback0,
changed state to up

Page 6 of 14

Lab Configuring Syslog and NTP

d. Remove the Loopback 0 interface on R2 and observe the log messages.

R2(config-if)# no interface lo 0
R2(config)#
Jul 5 10:02:58.910: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Loopback0, changed state to
administratively down
Jul 5 10:02:59.910: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Loopback0,
changed state to down

At severity level 4, are there any log messages on the syslog server? If any log messages appeared,
explain what appeared and why.
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
There was a summary warning log message indicating a change in the interface state. The addition of the
interface was not enough to trigger and send more detailed informational messages to the syslog server
at level 4.
e. Change the logging severity level to 6.
R2(config)# logging trap informational
or
R2(config)# logging trap 6
f.

Clear the syslog entries on PC-B. Click Clear in the Tftpd32 dialog box.

g. Create the Loopback 1 interface on R2.

R2(config)# interface lo 1
Jul 5 10:05:46.650: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Loopback1, changed state to up
Jul 5 10:05:47.650: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Loopback1,
changed state to up

h. Remove the Loopback 1 interface from R2.

R2(config-if)# no interface lo 1

Page 7 of 14

Lab Configuring Syslog and NTP

R2(config-if)#
Jul 5 10:08:29.742: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Loopback1, changed state to
administratively down
Jul 5 10:08:30.742: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Loopback1,
changed state to down

Observe the syslog server output. Compare this result with the results at trapping level 4. What is your
observation?
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
More log messages were trapped when the severity was set to 6 (informational) than when it was set at 4
(warnings).

Reflection
What is the problem with setting the level of severity too high (lowest level number) or too low (highest level
number) for syslog?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
When the severity level is set too high (lowest level number), the generated log could be missing important,
but not critical messages. However, setting it too low (highest level number), it can generate too many entries
and fill the logs with unnecessary information.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Network monitoring is done using software, typically a tool or set of tools that aid network administrators in
troubleshooting, monitoring, and modifying devices within their network. Reports, performance graphs,
hardware inventory management, software inventory management, network mapping of topologies,
generation of alerts through email, and/or texts to a network administrator can be part of the software tool. A
network administrator may decide to set up an email alert when packet loss on a router exceeds a certain
limit.

Part 2: Research Network Monitoring Tools

Step 1: Research and find three network monitoring tools.
List the three tools that you found.

Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings
Part 2: Configure an SNMP Manager and Agents
Part 3: Convert OID Codes with the Cisco SNMP Object Navigator

Background / Scenario
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network management protocol and an IETF standard
which can be used to both monitor and control clients on the network. SNMP can be used to get and set
variables related to the status and configuration of network hosts like routers and switches, as well as network
client computers. The SNMP manager can poll SNMP agents for data, or data can be automatically sent to
the SNMP manager by configuring traps on the SNMP agents.
In this lab, you will download, install, and configure SNMP management software on PC-A. You will also
configure a Cisco router and Cisco switch as SNMP agents. After capturing SNMP notification messages from
the SNMP agent, you will convert the MIB/Object ID codes to learn the details of the messages using the
Cisco SNMP Object Navigator.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco
IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used.

Page 1 of 20

Lab Configuring SNMP

Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of the lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you
are unsure, contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.
Note: The snmp-server commands in this lab will cause the Cisco 2960 switch to issue a warning message
when saving the configuration file to NVRAM. To avoid this warning message verify that the switch is using
the lanbase-routing template. The IOS template is controlled by the Switch Database Manager (SDM).
When changing the preferred template, the new template will be used after reboot even if the configuration is
not saved.
S1# show sdm prefer
Use the following commands to assign the lanbase-routing template as the default SDM template.
S1# configure terminal
S1(config)# sdm prefer lanbase-routing
S1(config)# end
S1# reload

Required Resources

e. Assign class as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password.
f.

Configure logging synchronous to prevent console messages from interrupting command entry.

g. Verify successful connectivity between the LAN devices by issuing the ping command.
h. Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Part 2: Configure SNMP Manager and Agents

In Part 2, SNMP management software will be installed and configured on PC-A, and R1 and S1 will be
configured as SNMP agents.

Step 1: Install an SNMP management program.

a. Download and install the PowerSNMP Free Manager by Dart Communications from the following URL:
http://www.dart.com/snmp-free-manager.aspx.
b. Launch the PowerSNMP Free Manager program.
c.

Click No if prompted to discover available SNMP agents. You will discover SNMP agents after configuring
SNMP on R1. PowerSNMP Free Manager supports SNMP version 1, 2, and 3. This lab uses SNMPv2.

d. In the pop-up Configuration window (if no pop-up window appear, go to Tools > Configuration), set the
local IP address to listen on 192.168.1.3 and click OK.

Page 3 of 20

Lab Configuring SNMP

Note: If prompted to discover available SNMP agents, click No and continue to next part of the lab.

Step 2: Configure an SNMP agent.

a. On R1, enter the following commands from the global configuration mode to configure the router as an
SNMP agent. In line 1 below, the SNMP community string is ciscolab, with read-only privileges, and the
named access list SNMP_ACL defines which hosts are allowed to get SNMP information from R1. In lines
2 and 3, the SNMP manager location and contact commands provide descriptive contact information.
Line 4 specifies the IP address of the host that will receive SNMP notifications, the SNMP version, and
the community string. Line 5 enables all default SNMP traps, and lines 6 and 7 create the named access
list, to control which hosts are permitted to get SNMP information from the router.
R1(config)# snmp-server community ciscolab ro SNMP_ACL
R1(config)# snmp-server location snmp_manager
R1(config)# snmp-server contact ciscolab_admin
R1(config)# snmp-server host 192.168.1.3 version 2c ciscolab
R1(config)# snmp-server enable traps
R1(config)# ip access-list standard SNMP_ACL
R1(config-std-nacl)# permit 192.168.1.3

Page 4 of 20

Lab Configuring SNMP

b. At this point, you may notice that the PowerSNMP Free Manager is receiving notifications from R1. If it is
not, you can try to force a SNMP notification to be sent by entering a copy run start command on R1.
Continue to the next step if it is unsuccessful.

Step 3: Discover SNMP agents.

a. From the PowerSNMP Free Manager on PC-A, open the Discover > SNMP Agents window. Enter the IP
address 192.168.1.255. In the same window, click Properties and set the Community to ciscolab and
the SNMP Version to Two, and then click OK. Now you can click Find to discover all SNMP agents on
the 192.168.1.0 network. The PowerSNMP Free Manager should find R1 at 192.168.1.1. Click the
checkbox and then Add to add R1 as an SNMP agent.

Page 5 of 20

Lab Configuring SNMP

Page 6 of 20

Lab Configuring SNMP

b. In the PowerSNMP Free Manager, R1 is added to the list of available SNMPv2 agents.

Page 7 of 20

Lab Configuring SNMP

Configure S1 as an SNMP agent. You can use the same snmp-server commands that you used to
configure R1.
S1(config)# snmp-server community ciscolab ro SNMP_ACL
S1(config)# snmp-server location snmp_manager
S1(config)# snmp-server contact ciscolab_admin
S1(config)# snmp-server host 192.168.1.3 version 2c ciscolab
S1(config)# snmp-server enable traps
S1(config)# ip access-list standard SNMP_ACL
S1(config-std-nacl)# permit 192.168.1.3

d. After S1 is configured, SNMP notifications from 192.168.1.2 display in the Traps window of the
PowerSNMP Free Manager. In the PowerSNMP Free Manager, add S1 as an SNMP agent using the
same process that you used to discover R1.

Part 3: Convert OID Codes with the Cisco SNMP Object Navigator
In Part 3, you will force SNMP notifications to be sent to the SNMP manager located at PC-A. You will then
convert the received OID codes to names to learn the nature of the messages. The MIB/OID codes can be
easily converted using the Cisco SNMP Object Navigator located at http://www.cisco.com.

Step 1: Clear current SNMP messages.

In the PowerSNMP Free Manager, right-click the Traps window and select Clear to clear the SNMP
messages.

Step 2: Generate an SNMP trap and notification.

On R1, configure the S0/0/0 interface according to the Addressing Table at the beginning of this lab.
Accessing global configuration mode and enable an interface to generate an SNMP trap notification to be
sent to the SNMP Manager at PC-A. Notice the Enterprise/OID code numbers that are visible in the traps
window.
R1(config)#
R1(config)#
R1(config)#
R1(config)#

Lab Configuring SNMP

Step 3: Decode SNMP MIB/OID messages.

From a computer with Internet access, open a web browser and go to http://www.cisco.com.
a. Using the search tool at the top of the window, search for SNMP Object Navigator.
b. Choose SNMP Object Navigator MIB Download MIBs OID OIDs from the results.
c.

Navigate to the MIB Locator page. Click the SNMP Object Navigator.

Page 9 of 20

Lab Configuring SNMP

d. Using the SNMP Object Navigator page, decode the OID code number from the PowerSNMP Free
Manager generated in Part 3, Step 2. Enter the OID code number and click Translate.

e. Record the OID code numbers and their corresponding message translations below.

____________________________________________________________________________________
For example, the description for OID 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4 is a linkUp trap signifies that the SNMP entity,
acting in an agent role, has detected that the ifOperStatus object for one of its communication links left
the down state and transitioned into some other state (but not into the notPresent state). This other state
is indicated by the included value of ifOperStatus.

Reflection
1. What are some of the potential benefits of monitoring a network with SNMP?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Answers will vary, but students may point to the ability of SNMP as an open and cross platform protocol to
work with many different devices including host computers on the network. SNMP benefits a network
administrator whose job it is to monitor the status and configuration of network hosts across the entire
network.
2. Why is it preferable to solely use read-only access when working with SNMPv2?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Because SNMPv2 supports only unencrypted community strings, using read-write access would be a greater
security risk.

Lab Collecting and Analyzing NetFlow Data

Background / Scenario
NetFlow is a Cisco IOS technology that provides statistics on packets flowing through a Cisco router or
multilayer switch. NetFlow enables network and security monitoring, network planning, traffic analysis, and IP
accounting. It is important not to confuse NetFlows purpose and results with that of packet capture hardware
and software. Packet capturing records all possible information exiting or entering a network device for later
analysis, NetFlow targets specific statistical information.
Flexible NetFlow is the latest NetFlow technology, improving on the original NetFlow by adding the capability
to customize the traffic analysis parameters. Flexible NetFlow uses the Version 9 export format. Starting with
Cisco IOS Release 15.1, many useful Flexible NetFlow commands are supported.
In this lab, you will configure NetFlow to capture both ingress (incoming) and egress (outgoing) packets. You
will use show commands to verify that NetFlow is operational and gathering statistical information. You will
also explore available options for NetFlow collection and analysis software.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure,
contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Required Resources

3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)

3 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)

Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports

Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings on the PC hosts and routers.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Step 2: Initialize and reload the routers as necessary.
Step 3: Configure basic settings for each router.
a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure device names as shown in the topology.
c.

Assign class as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password.

d. Assign cisco as the console and vty passwords and enable login.
e. Encrypt the plain text passwords.
f.

Configure a MOTD banner to warn users that unauthorized access is prohibited.

g. Configure logging synchronous for the console line.

h. Set the clock rate for all DCE serial interfaces at 128000.

Page 2 of 13

Lab Collecting and Analyzing NetFlow Data

Configure the IP addresses as listed in the Addressing Table.

Configure OSPF using Process ID 1 and advertise all networks. Ethernet interfaces should be passive.

Create a local database on R3 with the username admin and password cisco with the privilege level at
15.

On R3, enable the HTTP service and authenticate HTTP users by using the local database.

m. Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Step 4: Configure PC hosts.

Step 5: Verify end-to-end connectivity.
All devices should be able to ping other deices in the topology. Troubleshoot as necessary until end-to-end
connectivity is established.
Note: It may be necessary to disable the PC firewall for pings between PCs to be successful.

Part 2: Configure NetFlow on a Router

In Part 2, you will configure NetFlow on router R2. NetFlow will capture all ingress and egress traffic on the
R2 serial interfaces and export the data to the NetFlow collector, PC-B. Flexible NetFlow Version 9 will be
used to export to the NetFlow collector.

Step 1: Configure NetFlow capture.

Configure NetFlow data capture on both serial interfaces. Capture data from ingress and egress packets.
R2(config)# interface s0/0/0
R2(config-if)# ip flow ingress
R2(config-if)# ip flow egress
R2(config-if)# interface s0/0/1
R2(config-if)# ip flow ingress
R2(config-if)# ip flow egress

Step 2: Configure NetFlow data export.

Use the ip flow-export destination command to identify the IP address and the UDP port of the NetFlow
collector to which the router should export NetFlow data. UDP Port number 9996 will be used for this
configuration.
R2(config)# ip flow-export destination 192.168.2.3 9996

Step 3: Configure the NetFlow export version.

Cisco routers running IOS 15.1 support NetFlow versions 1, 5, and 9. Version 9 is the most versatile export
data format, but is not backward-compatible with earlier versions. Use the ip flow-export version command
to set the NetFlow version.
R2(config)# ip flow-export version 9

Step 4: Verify the NetFlow configuration.

a. Issue the show ip flow interface command to review the NetFlow capture interface information.
R2# show ip flow interface
Serial0/0/0

Page 3 of 13

ip flow ingress
ip flow egress
Serial0/0/1

b. Issue the show ip flow export command to review the NetFlow data export information.
R2# show ip flow export
Flow export v9 is enabled for main cache
Export source and destination details :
VRF ID : Default
Destination(1) 192.168.2.3 (9996)
Version 9 flow records
388 flows exported in 63 udp datagrams
0 flows failed due to lack of export packet
0 export packets were sent up to process level
0 export packets were dropped due to no fib
0 export packets were dropped due to adjacency issues
0 export packets were dropped due to fragmentation failures
0 export packets were dropped due to encapsulation fixup failures

Part 3: Analyze NetFlow Using the CLI

In Part 3, you will generate data traffic between R1 and R3 to observe NetFlow technology.

Step 1: Generate data traffic between R1 and R3.

a. Telnet from R1 to R3 using the IP address 192.168.3.1. Enter the password cisco to enter the user
EXEC mode. Enter the password class to enable global EXEC mode. Issue the show run command to
generate some Telnet traffic. Keep your Telnet session active for now.
b. From R3, issue the ping 192.168.1.1 repeat 1000 command to ping the R1 G0/0 interface. This will
generate ICMP traffic through R2.
c.

From PC-A, browse to R3 using the 192.168.3.1 IP address. Login as admin with the password cisco.
Keep the browser open after you have logged into R3.
Note: Make sure the pop-up blocker is disabled on your browser.

Step 2: Display a summary of the NetFlow accounting statistics.

On R2, issue the show ip cache flow command to display changes to the summary of NetFlow data,
including packet size distribution, IP flow information, captured protocols, and interface activity. Notice the
protocols now display in the summary data.
R2# show ip cache flow

Step 3: End the Telnet and browser sessions.

a. Issue the exit command on R1 to disconnect from the Telnet session to R3.
b. Close the browser session on PC-A.

Step 4: Clear NetFlow accounting statistics.

a. On R2, issue the clear ip flow stats command to clear NetFlow accounting statistics.
R2# clear ip flow stats
b. Re-issue the show ip cache flow command to verify that the NetFlow accounting statistics have been
reset. Notice that, even though you are no longer generating data through R2, data is being picked up by
NetFlow. In the example below, the destination address for this traffic is multicast address 224.0.0.5, or
OSPF LSA data.

Review this web page to acquaint yourself with some of the available NetFlow Collector and Analyzer
software products.

Reflection
1. What is the purpose of NetFlow collector software?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
NetFlow collector software receives the NetFlow data that is exported from routers and switches on the
network. It filters and aggregates the data according to the policies set up by the network administrator, and
stores this summarized or aggregated data, instead of raw flow data, to minimize disk space consumption.
2. What is the purpose of NetFlow analyzer software?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
NetFlow analyzer software provides the means to do near real-time visualization and analysis of recorded and
aggregated flow data. It allows you to specify the router, aggregation scheme, and the time interval in which
you wish to view. You can then sort and visualize the data in a manner which makes sense for the users (bar
charts, pie charts, or histograms of the sorted reports).
3. What are the seven critical fields used by the original NetFlow to distinguish flows?

Instructor Note: This activity can be completed individually or in small groups and then shared with the class.

Scenario
As the network administrator for a small- to medium-sized business, you have just started using CLI network
monitoring on the company routers, switches, and servers.
You decide to create a situational listing explaining when to use each method. Network monitoring methods to
include are:

Syslog

SNMP

NetFlow

Resources

Word processing software

Directions
Step 1: Create several situations where Syslog, SNMP, and Net Flow would be used by a
network administrator.
Step 2: List the situations in matrix format and ask another student or group to identify which
CLI monitoring tool to use to gather information about the network issues described.
Step 3: Share the matrix with another group or the class.

CLI Monitoring Tool Scenarios
Scenario

CLI Network Monitoring Tool to Use

A new VoIP system has been installed on the

network. You want to keep records of the network
load for a week to see if traffic should be
redistributed or balanced.

Net Flow

Certain employees are reporting sporadic network

availability on a daily basis. You think it could be a
router or switch issue, but you are unsure and want
to perform a quick check on the links on your
network equipment.

Syslog

A check should be made about the status of each

interface on the company routers and switches.
Status information includes:

SNMP

Which interfaces are up or down

Which octets have been sent and received

Ping errors and discarded traffic

Identify elements of the model that map to IT-related content:

Network monitoring tools

Syslog

SNMP

Net Flow

Objective
Troubleshoot IP connectivity using basic commands.
Instructor Note: This activity is best completed by groups of two students it can then be shared and discussed
with another group of students, with the entire class or with the instructor.

Scenario
You have just moved in to your new office, and your network is very small. After a long weekend of setting up the
new network, you discover that it is not working correctly.
Some of the devices cannot access each other and some cannot access the router which connects to the ISP.
It is your responsibility to troubleshoot and fix the problems. You decide to start with basic commands to identify
possible troubleshooting areas.

Resources

Packet Tracer software

Directions
Step 1: Create a simple network topology using Packet Tracer software, including:
a. Two connected 1941 series routers
b. Two Cisco 2960 switches, one switch connected to each router to form two LANs
c.

Six end-user devices

1) A printer and three PCs or laptops on LAN1
2) Two servers on LAN2

Step 2: Configure the network and user devices and verify that everything is working correctly.
Make an error or two in the configurations. Be sure to turn off the Options,
Preferences, and the Show Link Lights setting available on the Packet Tracer software.
Step 3: Share your saved Packet Tracer file with another group have them find and fix the
problems using the following commands only:

ping

traceroute

telnet

show interface

show IP interface brief or show IPv6 interface brief

show IP route or show IPv6 route

show running-config

show protocols

Documentation Development (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

Objective
Using a systematic approach, troubleshoot issues in a small- to medium-sized business network.
Instructor Note: This activity is best completed in small groups. It can then be shared with another group, the
class, or the instructor (as a group project).

Scenario
As the network administrator for a small business, you want to implement a documentation system to use with
troubleshooting network-based problems.
After much thought, you decide to compile simple network documentation information into a file to be used when
network problems arise. You also know that if the company gets larger in the future, this file can be used to export
the information to a computerized, network software system.
To start the network documentation process, you include:

A physical diagram of your small business network.

A logical diagram of your small business network.

Network configuration information for major devices, including routers and switches.

Resources

Packet Tracer software

Word processing software

Step 1: Create a Packet Tracer file to simulate a very small business network. Include these
devices:

One router with at least two Ethernet ports

Two switches connected to the router (LAN1 and LAN2)

Five user devices to include PCs, laptops, servers, and printers connected either of the two LANs.

Step 2: Create a word-processing file in matrix format to record each of the following main
network-documentation areas:
a. Physical topology and information
1) Type of device and model name
2) Network hostname
3) Location of the device
4) Cable connections types and ports
b. Logical topology information
1) IOS or OS image versions
2) IP addresses (IPv4, IPv6, or both)
3) Data-link addresses (MAC)

Page 1 of 5

Documentation Development
4) VLAN addresses
c.

Network device configuration information

1) Location of backup file (TFTP server, USB, text file)
2) Text-formatted, configuration script per router and switch devices

Step 3: Share your Packet Tracer file and network documentation with a classmate, another
group, the class, or your Instructor according to the instructions provided. Discuss
how this information could be useful to any network administrator.
