    PC2 NIC 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

    Objectives
    Part 1: Perform a Basic Configuration on S1 and S2
    Part 2: Configure the PCs
    Part 3: Configure the Switch Management Interface

    Background
    In this activity, you will first create a basic switch configuration. Then, you will implement basic connectivity by
    configuring IP addressing on switches and PCs. When the IP addressing configuration is complete, you will
    use various show commands to verify the configuration and use the ping command to verify basic
    connectivity between devices.

    Instructions

    Part 1: Perform a Basic Configuration on S1 and S2


    Complete the following steps on S1 and S2.

    Step 1: Configure S1 with a hostname.


    a. Click S1 and then click the CLI tab.
    b. Enter the correct command to configure the hostname as S1.

    Step 2: Configure the console and encrypted privileged EXEC mode passwords.
    a. Use cisco for the console password.
    b. Use class for the privileged EXEC mode password.

    Step 3: Verify the password configurations for S1.


    Question:

    How can you verify that both passwords were configured correctly?
    After you exit user EXEC mode, the switch will prompt you to key in the password to access the console
    interface and for the 2nd time, when youre access the privileged EXEC mode. Can also use the show run
    command to view the passwords.

    Step 4: Configure an MOTD banner.


    Use an appropriate banner text to warn unauthorized access. The following text is an example:
    Authorized access only. Violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

    Step 5: Save the configuration file to NVRAM.


    Question:

    Which command do you issue to accomplish this step?


    Type your answers here.
    S1 (config)#exit (or end)
    S1# copy run start

    Step 6: Repeat Steps 1 to 5 for S2.

    Part 2: Configure the PCs


    Configure PC1 and PC2 with IP addresses.

    Step 1: Configure both PCs with IP addresses.


    a. Click PC1 and then click the Desktop tab.
    b. Click IP Configuration. In the Addressing Table above, you can see that the IP address for PC1 is
    192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Enter this information for PC1 in the IP Configuration
    window.
    c. Repeat steps 1a and 1b for PC2.

    Step 2: Test connectivity to switches.


    a. Click PC1. Close the IP Configuration window if it is still open. In the Desktop tab, click Command
    Prompt.
    b. Type the ping command and the IP address for S1 and press Enter.
    Packet Tracer PC Command Line 1.0
    PC> ping 192.168.1.253
    Question:

    Were you successful? Explain.


    Nope. Bcs the switches haven’t been configured with an IP address.
    Type your answers here.

    Part 3: Configure the Switch Management Interface


    Configure S1 and S2 with an IP address.

    Step 1: Configure S1 with an IP address.


    Switches can be used as plug-and-play devices. This means that they do not need to be configured for them
    to work. Switches forward information from one port to another based on MAC addresses.
    Question:

    If this is the case, why would we configure it with an IP address?

    Packet Tracer - Implement Basic Connectivity

    To connect remotely to a switch, you need to assign it an IP address. The default configuration on the switch
    is to have the management of the switch controlled through VLAN 1.
    Type your answers here.
    Use the following commands to configure S1 with an IP address.
    S1# configure terminal
    Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
    S1(config)# interface vlan 1
    S1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.0
    S1(config-if)# no shutdown
    %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan1, changed state to up
    S1(config-if)#
    S1(config-if)# exit
    S1#
    Question:

    Why do you enter the no shutdown command?


    It administratively places the interface in an active state.

    Step 2: Configure S2 with an IP address.


    Use the information in the Addressing Table to configure S2 with an IP address.

    Step 3: Verify the IP address configuration on S1 and S2.


    Use the show ip interface brief command to display the IP address and status of all the switch ports and
    interfaces. You can also use the show running-config command.

    Step 4: Save configurations for S1 and S2 to NVRAM.


    Question:

    Which command is used to save the configuration file in RAM to NVRAM?


    Type your answers here. Copy running-config startup-config

    Step 5: Verify network connectivity.


    Network connectivity can be verified using the ping command. It is very important that connectivity exists
    throughout the network. Corrective action must be taken if there is a failure. Ping S1 and S2 from PC1 and
    PC2.
    a. Click PC1 and then click the Desktop tab.
    b. Click Command Prompt.
    c. Ping the IP address for PC2.
    d. Ping the IP address for S1.
    e. Ping the IP address for S2.
    Note: You can also use the ping command on the switch CLI and on PC2.
    All pings should be successful. If your first ping result is 80%, try again. It should now be 100%. You will learn
    why a ping may sometimes fail the first time later in your studies. If you are unable to ping any of the devices,
    recheck your configuration for errors.
