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, 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.

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

a. Power on the devices.
b. Connect the two switches.
c. Connect the PCs to their respective switches.
d. Visually inspect network connections.

Part 2: Configure PC Hosts


a. Configure static IP address information on the PCs according to the Addressing Table.
b. Verify PC settings and connectivity.

Part 3: Configure and Verify Basic Switch Settings


a. Console into the switch. Enter the global configuration mode.
Open Configuration Window

b. Give the switch a name according to the Addressing Table.


c. Prevent unwanted DNS lookups.
d. Enter local passwords. Use class as the privileged EXEC password and cisco as the password for
console access.
e. Configure and enable the SVI according to the Addressing Table.
f. Enter a login MOTD banner to warn about unauthorized access.
g. Save the configuration.
h. Display the current configuration.

Close Configuration Window.

j. Configure switch S2.


k. Record the interface status for the following interfaces.

Interface S1 Status S1 Protocol S2 Status S2 Protocol

F0/1 up up up up
F0/6 up up down down
F0/18 down down up up
VLAN 1 up up up up
