Aruba Lab-5

1. The document describes configuring Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) on a network topology with two core switches (Core-1 and Core-2) connected to two access switches (Access-1 and Access-2). 2. The tasks involve assigning PCs to VLANs 711 and 712, configuring trunk ports between the core and access switches, verifying the RSTP configuration, and identifying the root bridge and path costs. 3. Key steps include allowing VLANs 711-712 on trunk ports, identifying the root bridge and designated ports, and noting the path costs between switches on the topology diagram.

===========================
Lab 5.1: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
===================================================================================
===========================

=======================================================
Task 1: Assign PCs to VLAN 711
=======================================================

===================
PC-1
===================

1. Access PC-1.
2. Open Putty and open a SSH session to Core-1 (10.251.0.1) and login with
cxf7/aruba123

===================
Core-1 (via PC-1)
===================
10.251.7.1

Core-1# page 40

4. Confirm STP is active.


Core-1# configure terminal
Core-1(config)# show spanning-tree

===================
PC-1
===================
5. Open Putty and open a SSH session to Core-2 (10.251.0.2), and login with:
cxf7/aruba123

===================
Core-2 (via PC-1)
===================
6. Confirm STP is active.
Core-2(config)# show spanning-tree | include Spanning

===================
Access-1 and Access-2
===================
7. Repeat step 6 on Access-1 and Access-2.

T11-Access-1# show spanning-tree | include Spanning

T11-Access-2# show spanning-tree | include Spanning

===================
Access-1
===================
8. Move back to Access-1.
9. Allow VLANs 711 and 712 on interface 1/1/22 and enable the port.

T11-Access-1# configure terminal


T11-Access-1(config)# interface 1/1/22
T11-Access-1(config-if)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712
T11-Access-1(config-if)# no shutdown
T11-Access-2(config-if)# show lldp neighbor-info
T11-Access-1(config-if)# description TO_CORE-2_PORT-Y

===================
Access-2
===================
12. Move to Access-2 and repeat steps 9 to 11. The remote port that interface
1/1/22
is connected to on the Core-2 side will be 1/1/Z.
T11-Access-2# configure terminal
T11-Access-2(config)# interface 1/1/22
T11-Access-2(config-if)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712
T11-Access-2(config-if)# no shutdown
T11-Access-2(config-if)# show lldp neighbor-info
T11-Access-2(config-if)# description TO_CORE-2_PORT-Z
T11-Access-2(config-if)#

===================
Core-1
===================
13. Use LLDP to discover the ports used for the connection to Core-2. Use a
filtered
version of this command to display relevant output only.
Core-1# show lldp neighbor-info | exclude 1/21

14. Move to ports 1/1/43 and 1/1/44 and make each port a trunk interface that
allows
VLANs 711 and 712.
NOTE: Replace the highlighted “7” for your table number.
Core-1(config)# interface 1/1/43-1/1/44
Core-1(config-if-<1/1/43-1/1/44>)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712
Core-1(config-if-<1/1/43-1/1/44>)# exit
Core-1(config)#

===================
Core-2
===================
15. Open the SSH session of Core-2.
16. Define the height of the page to 40 lines.
Core-2# page 40

17. Create VLAN 711 and name it T7-EMPLOYEE.


Core-2# configure terminal
Core-2(config)# vlan 711
Core-2(config-vlan-1111)# name T7_EMPLOYEES
Core-2(config-vlan-1111)# exit

18. Create VLAN 712 and name it T7_MANAGERS.


Core-2# configure terminal
Core-2(config)# vlan 712
Core-2(config-vlan-1112)# name T7_MANAGERS
Core-2(config-vlan-1112)# exit

19. Access port 1/1/Y. Make the description TO_T7-ACCESS-1_PORT-22 and make
the interface a trunk interface that allows VLANs 711 and 712.

Core-2(config)# interface 1/1/Y


Core-2(config-if)# description TO_T7-ACCESS-1_PORT-22
Core-2(config-if)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712

Core-2(config)# interface 1/1/Z


Core-2(config-if)# description TO_T7-ACCESS-2_PORT-22
Core-2(config-if)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712

21. Access ports 1/1/43 and 1/1/44, make the port a trunk interface that allows
VLANs
711 and 712.
Core-2(config-if)# exit
Core-2(config)# interface 1/1/43-1/1/44
Core-2(config-if-<1/1/43-1/1/44>)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712
Core-2(config-if-<1/1/43-1/1/44>)# exit

Core-2(config)# interface lag 10


Core-2(config-lag-if)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712
Core-2(config-lag-if)# exit
Core-2(config)#

=======================================================
Task 2: Verify the Topology
=======================================================
Access-1
1. Access the terminal session to Access-1.
2. Show a filtered version of the “show spanning-tree” to get the switch MAC
address
and switch priority only.
T11-Access-1# show spanning-tree | begin 1 Bridge

Core-1, Core-2 and Access-2


4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with Core-1, Core-2 and Access-2.
T11-Access-2# show spanning-tree | begin 1 Bridge

Core-1# show spanning-tree | begin 1 Bridge


Core-2# show spanning-tree | begin 1 Bridge

5. On figure 5.1-2 put a start by the switch that you have identified as Root
Bridge.
Other fields you will fill out in later steps
===================
Access-1
===================
6. Move back to Access-1 and run “show spanning-tree” command. What are the
path costs of the ports?
T11-Access-1# show spanning-tree | begin 30 Port

7. All ports in this topology should have the same cost. Write down the path costs
of all links on figure 5.1-2

8. Issue the “show spanning-tree detail” command. The output will be very long.

9. Now try now a filtered version of the “show spanning-tree detail” command in
order to find the Designated bridge on each uplink.
T11-Access-1(config)# show spanning-tree detail | begin 12 "Port 1/1/21"

===================
Access-2
===================

11. Move to Access-2 and repeat step 9.


T11-Access-2# show spanning-tree detail | begin 12 "Port 1/1/21"

12. Write down the Designated Bridge of these links on figure 5.1-2.

===================
Core-2
===================

13. Move to Core-2 and repeat step 9 for ports 1/1/43 and 1/1/44.

Core-2# show spanning-tree detail | begin 12 "Port 1/1/43"
