Further work
For ALL lab work in this course, you are expected to keep notes of the labs/workshops in a Log Book.
Your Log Books will be assessed during this course and will be handed in at the end of the course.
They may be analogue or digital in nature.
Introduction

Today's work is to join two networks that have VLANs already enabled.

You will need to reuse the file vlan-lab-03.pkt that you created in the VLAN examination lab work a few weeks ago.

This will be important to allow you to design your own routed VLAN network when required.
Inter VLAN Routing Lab Part 1

Open Packet Tracer 5.0

Open your copy of vlan-lab-03.pkt



Save your network as vlan-lab-04.pkt
Create another Campus network

1.  Copy and paste the entire network.

2.  Rename all nodes as shown in the diagram below.



3.  Enter the CLI of the Greenwich router

4.  Use the next 3 available subnets from the range that you were working with on the Medway router and apply these to the Fast Ethernet subinterfaces for the 3 VLANs on the Greenwich router.

5.  Use an address from the 172.16.x.x private address range to supply IP addressing to each of the routers' serial interfaces. Use a /30 subnet mask.

6.  Make Greenwich the DCE. Supply a suitable clock rate.

7.  Connect these serial interfaces together.

8. Wait for all interfaces to become 'live'.

9. Check this with show ip interface brief

10. Make notes as to the status of all 'wired' interfaces.

Make notes in your Log Book

Save your network!

When you have finished this part, you may proceed.
Inter VLAN Routing Lab Part 2

Connectivity Testing

1.  Try to ping the GMStudent PC from the GMAdmin PC
 
2.  Note the result. Why do you think this has happened? Make notes.

3.  Try to ping the GMStudent PC from the Admin PC at Medway

4.  Note the result. Why do you think this has happened? Make notes

 Discuss with your colleagues possible reasons for your results above.

5.  What do we need to do to remedy this?

Make notes in your Log Book

When you have finished this part, you may proceed.

Inter VLAN Routing Lab Part 3

Enabling Routing

IOS Commands will be needed here

1.  Open the CLI of the Medway router. Enter priv exec mode (use the enable command)

2.  Type configure terminal. Enable RIP version 2

3.  Add all attached networks - this includes the attached VLAN subinterfaces.

4.   Open the CLI of the Greenwich router. Enter priv exec mode 

5.  Type configure terminal. Enable RIP version 2

6.  Add all attached networks - this includes the attached VLAN subinterfaces.

7. Now repeat step 3 in Part 2 above

8. What is the result now?


Make notes in your Log Book

When you have finished this part, you may proceed.

Save your network again!
Inter VLAN Routing Lab Part 4

Add the Avery Hill Campus

1.  Copy and paste one of the Campus networks again

2.  Rename the new Router as Avery-Hill

3.  Rename the  Avery-Hill PCs as AHStudent, AHStaff and AHAdmin

4.  Add subnetworks to the Fast Ethernet subinterfaces.

5. Add  /30 addressing to the serial interface of the Avery Hill router

6. Connect the routers together to form a fully meshed network, keeping the Greenwich router as DCE. Give the serial interfaces suitable addresses from the 172.16.x.x range. Note that you may need to add more serial interfaces to accomplish this.

7.  Add RIP version 2 to the Avery Hill router.

8. Adjust the routed RIP networks on the Medway and Greenwich routers to include their new serial interfaces.

9. Check the routing tables on all three routers.

Make notes in your Log Book

When you have finished this part, you may proceed.

Save your network again!
Inter VLAN Routing Lab Part 5

 Test the connectivity within your network

IOS Commands will be needed here

1.  Prove that you have full connectivity between your PCs on all 3 campuses.

2. Troubleshoot as necessary.

Make notes in your Log Book

When you have finished this part, you may proceed.

Save your network again!
Reflection

Now that you have created a fully operational routed VLANned network with three campuses, you should be able to describe the necessary components of a more complex VLAN.
Discuss this with a lab partner so that you are fully aware of the necessary hardware and logical information that would be required to set-up a VLAN with multiple campuses.

Make brief notes in your Log Book concerning the necessary hardware and any logical settings that will be required to set-up this VLANned network.
Further Work (optional)

Now that you have a fully operational VLAN, save your network with a different name.

Save your network as vlan-lab-05.pkt

Migrate the routing protocol to OSPF
Use single-area OSPF
Check for full connectivity when you have finished
Check your routing tables.

Remember to SAVE your work regularly.
