1. Use the local laptop connect to the switch console and configure the laptop with the right parameters for console access to the Cisco 2960 Catalyst switch 2. Configure Switch hostname as LOCAL-SWITCH 3. Configure the message of the day as “Unauthorized access is forbidden” 4. Configure the password for privileged mode access as “cisco”. The password must be md5 encrypted 5. Configure password encryption on the switch using the global configuration command 6. Configure CONSOLE access with the following settings : – Login enabled – Password : ciscoconsole – History size : 15 commands – Timeout : 6’45” – Synchronous logging 6. Configure TELNET access with the following settings : – Login enabled – Password : ciscotelnet – History size : 15 commands – Timeout : 8’20” – Synchronous logging 7. Configure the IP address of the switch as 192.168.1.2/24 and it’s default gateway IP (192.168.1.1). 8. Test telnet connectivity from the Remote Laptop using the telnet client.

1. Connect to Switch0 using console interface and configure each Switch0 fastethernet switchport for operation.

Settingsto be configured on each port are :

· Port type : access port

· Speed : 100 Mbit/s

· Duplex mode : Full Duplex

· Autonegotiation disabled

2. PC “192.168.1.4” seems to be unable to ping other PCs in the network. Check switch configuration. TIP : How many broadcast domains are there in this network ?

3. Choose the right cable to connect :

· Switch0 gigabitethernet 1/1 to Switch1 gigabitethernet 1/1

· Switch1 gigabitethernet 1/2 to Switch2 gigabitethernet 1/2

4. Configure those two links as trunk lines without using trunk negotiation between switches

Completion of these two labs will satisfy this weeks lab. Showcase your topology and the commands used.

For this, you need to use Packet tracer or GNS3. Some sort of Cisco emulator that allows for a terminal window to configure routers and switches.
