Franske ITC-2610 Assignments

Labs

You are responsible for completing ALL of these labs. You must submit a lab report for each chapter (you may combine multiple labs from the chapter into a single report). If you work with a partner on a lab you only need to submit a single lab report for the two of you but it must have both your names on it. Each lab report is worth up to 20 points. This falls into the Labs/Homework category of your course grade.

1. CCNA Review Lab
2. Lab 1-1: Baseline Lab
3. Lab 3-1: VLAN-TRUNK-VTP
   • NOTE: In this lab you will encounter a few things that are different because our DLS switches are 3650 instead of 3560 models. In particular the 3650 has Gigabit Ethernet ports instead of Fast Ethernet so all commands on the ports (including port ranges) need to use Gigabit... instead of FastEthernet... The numbering scheme for the ports is also different (like GigabitEthernet1/0/1 instead of FastEthernet0/1) so make adjustments accordingly. You can view a list of the port names on your switch by using the show ip interface brief command.
   • NOTE: In this lab you will encounter a few things that are different because our DLS switches are 3650 instead of 3560 models. The newer Cisco 3650 switches do not support ISL trunking mode any longer and will not accept the switchport trunk encapsulation commands. The switches use 802.1q by default for trunk link encapsulation. Adjust your labs accordingly.
4. Lab 3-2: Etherchannel
5. Lab 4-1: STP
6. Lab 4-2: MST
7. Lab 5-1: Inter-VLAN Routing
8. Lab 5-2: DHCP
9. Lab 6-1: FHRP with HSRP and VRRP
   • NOTE: The Cisco 3650 routers with IOS XE do not appear to run VRRP v2 so there is no vrrp command available once you get into the interface configuration mode. Instead you should complete the VRRP portion of this lab using VRRP v3. See the How to Configure VRRPv3 Protocol Support document from Cisco.
   • NOTE: To enable VRRP v3 on your device run fhrp version vrrp v3 in global configuration mode. Once VRRP v3 is configured you will have a vrrp command available in the interface configuration mode but note that the configuration is a little different and requires entering a VRRP subconfiguration mode see an example configuration in the Cisco documentation which you can use to figure out how to complete the lab.
10. Lab 6-2: HSRP for IPv6
11. Lab 6-3: Gateway Load Balancing Protocol
12. Lab 7-1: NTP
13. Lab 7-2: SNMP
    • NOTE: In this lab you need to use the MIB Browser from ManageEngine. You may need to download and install this on your lab PC. You can find the free software on this ManageEngine page. When you install it you do not have permissions to install it on the C:\ drive so please install to a new folder on the D:\ drive of your system or in a virtual machine.
    • NOTE: The Cisco 3650 switches do not allow you to enable all traps, you need to select a specific category of traps to enable. For the purposes of the lab enabling 'config' traps should allow you to generate some traps by making configuration changes to your device.
14. Lab 8-1: IP SLA and SPAN Protocol
15. Lab 10-1: Securing Layer 2
16. Lab 10-2: Securing VLANs
