Had a couple of days off after passing the CCENT.

Just been cracking away this morning and have configured this template for the CCNA ICND2.

Everything can ping everything else as I have setup RIPv2 at the moment. Will change this as I learn the configuration for EIGRP and OSPF etc.

- 4 x Switches using 3 x VLAN's
- 4 x Routers
- 2 x Servers
- 12 x PC's
- 1 x WAN

Looking forward to this one, it's going to be fun

 

I'd setup more WAN links if possible in order to practice PPP and Frame Relay. For Frame Relay I used one router as a Frame Switch and three others as spokes. This scenario may be useful to practice creating subinterfaces and 'seeing the effects of split-horizon' issues when using routing protocols.

 

Good idea chap, will make some adjuments.

 

Craigie what cisco kit are you using?

 

Packet Tracer 5.1

 

Just Packet Tracer? I used it to practice certain stuff. Practising Frame Relay may be a problem as the IOSs used are not fully functional. I used the following as well:

2610 * 2
2621 * 1
2610XM * 1
2611XM * 1
2620 * 1
2509 Access server
2950 * 3
3550 * 1
1900 * 1
2900XL * 1
WIC-2T * 4
WIC-1T * 7
NM4AS * 1
NetGear 8 port hub * 1
Cables galore

 

Have to have a dig around at work to see what we have, I know we have 6 or so PIX's kickin' around.

 

Update!

Just created 3 x VLAN's using VTP across 3 Switches using 'Router on a Stick'.

Ensuring that Trunks are configured using Domain Names, Password and that I have only one VTP Server.

Right onto Spanning Tree Protocol

 

Fun is a relative term

Glad you're enjoying it matey.

Qs

 

Just finished with VLAN's and VTP as I stated earlier, my lab has now been modified as I will soon be implementing Spanning Tree.

I have posted the running config of NLR01 which is the 'router on a stick' and also NLS01 which is the switch running VTP.

Just put in place Basic Spanning Tree with NLS01 as the Root Bridge.

Took out a couple of links and watched the badboy renegotiaite over the redundant links.

Changed the primary and secondary and played about with increasing and decreasing Switch priority.

This is now becoming a bit of blog

 

looks ok, but i see one problem.. you have a single point of failure!! NLR01! Have you played with load balancing yet and HSRP?

 

Not got to that part yet, only on Chapter 3 of the ICND2.

 

Don't think that is covered in the CCNA mate.

 

Just a quick update on what I have been upto.

Finished setting up RPVST and have configured Port Fast as well.

Then rebuilt VTP, all VLAN's, Router On Stick, RPVST and Port Fast and tested.

Spent some time going back over Troubleshooting areas such as:

- Swtichport Security
- CDP Neighbours
- VLAN's & Trunking
- VTP
- Spanning Tree
- Expected Network Behaviour

Will be moving back onto Static and Connected Routes later this weekend which is Chapter 4

 

Just thought I would update this and let you know that I'm deep inside Route Summarization and about to head into OSPF.
