Objectives
● Set Up the Network Topology
● Configure PC Hosts
● Configure and Verify Basic Switch Settings
Background / Scenario
In this lab, you will build a simple network with two hosts and two switches. You will also configure basic
settings including hostname, local passwords, and login banner. Use show commands to display the running
configuration, IOS version, and interface status. Use the copy command to save device configurations.
You will apply IP addressing for this lab to the PCs and switches to enable communication between the
devices. Use the ping utility to verify connectivity.
Note: The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other
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.
Note: Make sure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. Refer to Appendix A
for the procedure to initialize and reload a switch.

Lab - Basic Switch and End Device Configuration
Required Resources
● 2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
● 2 PCs (Windows with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
● Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
● Ethernet cables as shown in the topology
Instructions
Step 1: Set Up the Network Topology
In this step, you will cable the devices together according to the network topology.
a. Power on the devices.
b. Connect the two switches.
c. Connect the PCs to their respective switches.
d. Visually inspect network connections.

d. Enter local passwords. Use class as the privileged EXEC password and cisco as the password for
console access.
enable password cisco in line terminal
password secret class in privileged mode

Reflection Question
Why some FastEthernet ports on the switches are up and others are down?
Porque los puertos FastEthernet están activos (UP) cuando los cables están conectados a los puertos en
este caso el Switch (S1, S2), sin embargo, los administradores pueden desactivado manualmente (DOWN).
En caso de lo contrario, los puertos están inactivos.
What could prevent a ping from being sent between the PCs?
1) Dirección IP incorrecta ya sea porque haya quedado mal configurada la IP cuando se cambio el
segmento o rango de la misma.
2) Cando no activamos el puerto con la dirección desde la terminal, se considera inactivo por defecto
3) Medios desconectados por ejemplo un switch apagado o puertos administrativamente desactivados
4) El firewall detecta ese testeo de red y considera una intrusión así que impide el proceso de
comunicación
