Mock PRACTICE

Configure Advanced Routing and Switching

 Configure the devices to support IPv4 connectivity, LAN redundancy, and link aggregation.
 Configure DHCP and Multi-area OSPFv2 on the network and verify connectivity.

Table 1. Addressing Table

Task 1: Configure Basic Routers, Switches & Hosts Settings

Step 1: Configure all basic settings for each router and switch. (Hostname, passwords, DNS etc)
a. Configure logging synchronous to prevent console message from interrupting command entry.
b. Assign the IP addresses to routers as per the given Table above. Save configuration settings

Step 2: Assign IP addresses to the PCs according to the given Table. Perform the connectivity checks on all IP
addresses.

Task 2: Configure DHCP

Step 1: Configure R3 as the DHCP server for network 192.168.100.0/24 with the following specifications:
a. Reserve the first 10 IP addresses in for static configurations
b. Create a DHCP pool as follow:
 Name: R3DHCP
 DNS-Server: 192.168.100.2
  Set the default gateway

Step 2: Configure PC-D to be a DHCPv4 client. Check that PC-D get its IP address from the DHCP server R3.

Step 3: Verify that PC-D can ping to its gateway.

Task 3: Configure LAN Redundancy

Step 1: Configure Rapid PVST+ on S1, S2 and S3.

Step 2: Configure S3 as primary root bridge for VLAN 1.
Step 3: Configure S1 as secondary root bridge for VLAN 1.
Step 4: Configure PortFast and BPDU Guard on the interfaces connected to PC-A, PC-B and PC-C.
Step 5: By using the IOS commands, verify that the above configurations are done correctly.

Task 4: Configure LACP EtherChannel

Step 1: Configure LACP EtherChannel between S1 and S3. Use channel group 1. Enable LACP
unconditionally (mean permanent “ON”) on S1.
Step 2: Verify that the configuration is done correctly by using appropriate IOS command.

Task 5: Configure Multiarea OSPFv2

Step 1: Configure OSPFv2 on R1 with the following specifications:

 OSPF Process ID : 20
 Router ID : 11.11.11.11
 Advertise directly connected networks accordingly the designated areas
 Set all LAN interfaces as passive
 Configure an inter-area summary route for the networks in area 51
 Change the default cost reference bandwidth to support Gigabit interface calculations.

Step 2: Configure OSPFv2 on R2 with the following specifications:

 OSPF Process ID : 20
 Router ID : 22.22.22.22
 Advertise directly connected networks accordingly the designated areas
 Change the default cost reference bandwidth to support Gigabit interface calculations.

Step 3: Configure OSPFv2 on R3 with the following specifications:

 OSPF Process ID : 20
 Router ID : 33.33.33.33
 Advertise directly connected networks accordingly the designated areas
 Set all LAN interfaces as passive
 Change the default cost reference bandwidth to support Gigabit interface calculations.

Step 4: Display & verify the routing table on R1, R2 and R3.

Step 5: Verify that all PCs can ping one another.
