INTRODUCTION
Boson NetSim: Overview
The CCNA labs contained in this lab guide are based on the Boson NetSim. This PCbased
product simulates a wide variety of Cisco routers as well as the Catalyst 1900,
2950, and 5000 switches. The NetSim supports multiple routing protocols, including
RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, and single-area OSPF. It supports different LAN/WAN protocols,
including PPP/CHAP, ISDN, and Frame Relay.
The exercises in this lab guide only require the NetSim – they do not require access to
any external router or switch hardware.
It should be noted that the NetSim supports many, but not all of the IOS commands
available on a real router or switch. All the commands referenced in this lab guide are
supported through the Simulator.
Getting Started
To invoke the NetSim, double-click on the Boson NetSim icon on your PC screen.
If there is not an icon on the PC screen, you can start the NetSim by pressing Start ->
Boson NetSim -> Boson NetSim.
You will be presented with a screen that has buttons at the top representing each router,
switch, or PC that you will be configuring.
Press one of the buttons to configure a device. Some of the devices are hidden (Switch 3,
Switch 4, PC1, and PC2) and can be accessed
by pressing the More Devices button. There is also a button that can be pressed to show
the network topology that the labs are based on.
Lab Topology
The Lab Topology is shown in the diagram on the next page (it can also be viewed by
selecting the Topology button at the top of the NetSim screen).
You will have:
• 4 x Cisco 2500 routers
o each router has one Ethernet and two serial interfaces
o one of the 2500’s, router1, has an ISDN BRI interface
• 1 x Cisco 2600 router (identified as router2)
o has one Ethernet interface
o has both an ISDN BRI and a PRI interface
• 2 x Catalyst 1912 switches
o each switch has twelve 10baseT and two Fast Ethernet ports
Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Boson Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
• 2 X Catalyst 2950 switches
o each switch has twelve 10/100 Ethernet ports
• 2 x PC’s
The LAN/WAN interfaces and subnet numbers are indicated on the diagram. Specific
interface IP addresses are included in a table on page 6.

questions are contained in Appendix B at the back of this lab guide. Appendix C also
contains the completed configurations for selected labs.
Saving/Restoring Configuration Files
You can save your work and exit at any point. First, make sure you have selected the
appropriate router/switch/PC button at the top of the NetSim screen.
The next step is to press File -> Save Device Config from the top of the screen. You will
then be prompted for a file name.
Each individual device configuration must be saved separately. At a minimum, you
should plan to save all configurations each time you power off your PC.
To restore a configuration file, make sure you have pressed the appropriate
router/switch/PC button. The next step is to press File -> Load Device Config
(Overwrite) at the top of the screen and to select the correct saved configuration file.
The configuration will then be loaded.
Note: this process can take 15-20 seconds to complete and you will see configuration
commands flash across the screen. Be patient!

Cisco router.
2. Select Router1 from the tool bar. Press enter to get to the user prompt
Router>
3. The greater-than symbol ( >) in the prompt indicates you are in user mode. Type ? to
see a list of commands that can be entered in user mode.
Router> ?
4. Type enable to get into privileged mode. The pound sign (#) indicates you are now in
privileged mode.
Router> enable
Router#
5. Type ? to see a list of commands that can be entered in privileged mode. Notice that
there are more commands available in
privileged mode than are available in user mode. Configure and reload are two such
commands that can only be issued in privileged mode.
Router# ?
6. Exit privileged mode by typing disable.
Router# disable
Router>
7. Re-enter privileged mode and type configure terminal to get into configuration mode
Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#
8. Configure a hostname of ‘router1’ (without the quote marks). Notice how the prompt
changes.
Router(config)# hostname router1
router1(config)#
9. In global configuration mode on router1, type enable ?. This will show valid
parameters that can be entered with the enable command.
Configure an enable password of ‘ccnalab’ that will not be encrypted when viewing the

router configuration file and an enable
password of ’cisco’ that will be encrypted.
a. Question: when both encrypted and unencrypted enable passwords are configured,
which one is used?
router1(config)# enable ?
router1(config)# enable password ccnalab
router1(config)# enable secret cisco
10. Configure an IP address for the Ethernet0 interface on router1 (refer to the table on
page 6 for all IP addresses and masks).
Activate the interface – it is currently in ‘shutdown’ mode. You should see a message
that the interface has now come up.
Practice using the tab key – type int and then the tab key (no spaces). You should see the
word interface spelled out.
router1(config)# int
router1(config)# interface ethernet0
router1(config-if)# ip address 160.10.1.1 255.255.255.0

LAB 2 – ADVANCED ROUTER CONFIGURATION
1. In this lab you will practice using some advanced configuration and show commands
on the Cisco router. Please remember your lab 1 commands needed to switch
between Router modes (i.e. exit, end, disable)
2. On router1, configure a console password of ‘boson’. The console user must enter this
password before gaining access to the user mode prompt.
router1(config)# line console 0
router1(config-line)# login
router1(config-line)# password boson
3. Configure a banner that says” Welcome to Router1 - Authorized Users Only”.
router1(config)# banner motd #
Welcome to Router1 - Authorized Users Only #
4. Test the banner and console password by logging out of the router and logging back
in. Get into enable mode after successfully logging into the console.
router1# logout
enter
password: boson
router1> enable
password: cisco
router1#
5. Configure a password of ‘cisco’ on router2 that will enable remote users to Telnet into
it:
router2(config)# line vty 0 4
router2(config-line)# login
router2(config-line)# password cisco
6. On router1, associate a name of ‘router2’ with the remote IP address 160.10.1.2. This
will allow you to ping router2’s name rather than having to remember its IP address.
router1(config)# ip host router2 160.10.1.2
7. Verify that the name is in router1’s host table with the show hosts command.
router1# show hosts
8. Ping ‘router2’ and verify that the pings succeed.
router1# ping router2
Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Boson Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
9. Display the contents of flash memory on router2.
a. Question: what is the name of the IOS image in flash and how large is it?
router2# show flash
10. Display the history table on router1. This shows the last 10 commands that were
entered on the router. You can recall commands by entering CTRL-P or by hitting the up
arrow key.
router1# show history
router1# ctrl-p (to see previously entered commands)
11. On router1, do a show interfaces on Serial 0. Note on the third line of the output that
the bandwidth is assumed to be 1544kb. This is because the router assumes all serial
links are T1’s unless you configure otherwise. Configure router1’s S0 link to have a
bandwidth of 64kb and then reenter the show interfaces command.
router1# show interfaces serial 0
router1# configure terminal
router1(config)# interface serial 0
router1(config-if)# bandwidth 64
router1(config-if)# clock rate 64000
router1(config-if)# ctrl-z
router1# show interfaces serial 0
12. On router1, add a description to interface Serial 0 that says “Serial Link to Router3”.
This description will appear whenever you issue a show interfaces
command for Serial 0.
router1(config)# interface serial 0
router1(config-if)# description Serial Link to Router3
router1(config-if)# exit
router1(config)# exit
router1# show interfaces serial 0
13. Configure router3 and router4:
• configure hostnames
• configure an enable secret password of ‘cisco’
• assign IP addresses and subnet masks to serial & Ethernet interfaces (see table on
page 6)
• Remember to set the clock rate on the Router 3 Serial 1 interface.
• activate serial and Ethernet interfaces
• verify router3 can ping router1
• verify router3 can ping router4
• save the configurations to NVRAM

LAB 3 - CDP
1. In this lab, you will practice using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) commands to view
information about directly connected neighbors.
2. On router1, display summary information for router1’s CDP neighbors. You should
see one-line entries for both router2 and router3.
router1# sh cdp neighbors
3. On router1, display detailed information about CDP neighbors. You can do this with
either the show cdp neighbors detail or show cdp entry * commands.
router1# show cdp neighbors detail
router1# show cdp entry *
4. On router1, display the interfaces where CDP is active.
a. Question: what is the CDP advertisement interval?
b. Question: what is the holdtime interval and what does it signify?
router1# show cdp interface
5. On router1, change the CDP advertisement interval to 50 sec. and the holdtime interval
to 170 sec.
Issue the show cdp interface command to verify the new timers are set correctly.
router1(config)# cdp timer 50
router1(config)# cdp holdtime 170
router1(config)# exit
router1# sh cdp interface
Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Boson Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

LAB 4 – TELNET
1. In this lab, you will practice Telnet’ing from one router to another. You will suspend
Telnet sessions using the ctrl-shift-6 X sequence and display active Telnet sessions using
the show sessions and show users commands.
2. From router1, Telnet to router2 (160.10.1.2). Once into router2, issue the show users
command. This command shows which remote users are Telnet’ed into this local router.
You should see router1’s IP address (160.10.1.1) as the user Telnet’ed into router2.
router1# telnet 160.10.1.2
router2>
router2# show users
3. Suspend your Telnet session to router2 by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-6 and X. You
should return to router1 without breaking the active Telnet session. Issue the show
sessions command on router1. This command shows what active, but suspended,
sessions you have to other routers.
router2# ctrl-shift-6 x
router1#
router1# show sessions
4. Now Telnet from router1 to router3. Suspend the session and return to router1. Issue
the show sessions command. You should now see two suspended sessions: one to
router2 (160.10.1.2) and one to router3 (175.10.1.2).
router1# telnet 175.10.1.2
router3>
router3> ctrl-shift-6 x
router1#
router1# show sessions
5. Disconnect the two suspended sessions on router1. The number used in the disconnect
command comes from the
left-most column in the show sessions output. Issue show sessions to see if the
suspended Telnet sessions have disappeared.
router1# disconnect 2
router1# disconnect 1
router1# show sessions

LAB 5 - TFTP
1. In this lab, you are going to configure PC1 as a TFTP-Server. You will then backup
and restore router4’s configuration to the TFTP-Server.
2. Under the NetSim, select PC1 from the Other Devices drop-down menu. Configure
PC1 to have an IP address of 195.10.1.2 with a mask of 255.255.255.0 and a defaultgateway
of 195.10.1.1. Use the winipcfg utility on the PC to do this. The PC is
automatically enabled to be a TFTP server.
c:> winipcfg
3. On router4, make sure you can ping PC1:
router4# ping 195.10.1.2
4. On router4, copy your running-configuration to the tftp-server. You will be prompted
for the address of the tftp-server (195.10.1.2). You will also be prompted for a file name
(any name you choose).
router4# copy running-config tftp
5. On the tftp-server (PC1), issue the show tftp-configs command to see if router4’s
configuration was successfully backed up (this is not a standard PC command, but one
developed for use with the NetSim).
c:> show tftp-configs
6. You will now restore the configuration you saved on the TFTP server to NVRAM on
router4. Make sure router4’s NVRAM is currently empty by issuing the show startupconfig
command. If it is not empty, use the erase startup-config command to clear it.
Restore the configuration from the tftp-server to NVRAM on router4 with the following
copy command (enter the PC’s IP address and previously-saved file name when
prompted):
router4# copy tftp startup-config
7. Issue the show startup-config command. You should now see the restored
configuration file in NVRAM.
a. Question: was it necessary to clear out router4’s NVRAM in order to copy a file into
it? Why?

1. In this lab, you will be configuring RIP. On router1, router2, router3, and router4,
configure RIP V1 on all serial and Ethernet interfaces (except for the ISDN and frame
relay interfaces).
a. Question: On router1, why doesn’t the network statement under RIP specify
160.10.1.0 rather than 160.10.0.0?
router1(config)# router rip
router1(config-router)# network 160.10.0.0
router1(config-router)# network 175.10.0.0
router2(config)# router rip
router2(config-router)# network 160.10.0.0
router3(config)# router rip
router3(config-router)# network 175.10.0.0
router3(config-router)# network 180.10.0.0
router3(config-router)# network 197.10.1.0
router4(config)# router rip
router4(config-router)# network 180.10.0.0
router4(config-router)# network 195.10.1.0
2. On router1, issue the show ip protocols command. This commands shows information
about all dynamic routing protocols that are running on the router.
Based on the output of this command:
a. Question: how frequently does RIP advertise routing updates?
b. Question: what is the holddown timer interval for RIP?
router1# show ip protocols
3. On router4, issue the show ip route command. You should see two directly connected
routes (180.10.1.0 and 195.10.1.0) and three remote routes (160.10.0.0, 197.10.1.0 and
175.10.0.0).
a. What is the administrative distance for RIP?
router4# show ip route
4. On router4, ping both router1 and router2. The pings should succeed if RIP is
configured on all routers.
router4# ping 175.10.1.1
router4# ping 160.10.1.2
Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Boson Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
5. On router4, clear and recreate the IP routing table with the clear ip route * command.
This command is sometimes necessary when trying to troubleshoot unusual routing
problems.
router4# clear ip route *
6. On router1, enter the debug ip rip command. This will show the periodic (every 30
seconds) RIP updates being transmitted and received on each interface.
router1# debug ip rip
7. After you examine a few debug updates, turn debugging off with the command
undebug all

LAB 11 – VLANs and TRUNKING (Catalyst 1900 Switches)
1. In this lab, you will set up VLANs on the Catalyst 1900 switches and test them by
pinging between router4 and PC1. Router4 is connected to e0/1 on switch1 and PC1 is
connected to e0/1 on switch2. Switch1 and switch2 are interconnected through their
fa0/26 Fast Ethernet ports.
2. Using winipcfg on PC1, configure an IP address of 195.10.1.2/24 and a default
gateway of 195.10.1.1
(if not already configured from a previous lab).
c:> winipcfg
3. Verify you can presently ping between PC1 and router4. If you cannot ping
successfully, check that router4’s Ethernet0 IP address is 195.10.1.1/24 and that the
interface is enabled. Also, using the winipcfg utility, check that the PC has a configured
IP address of 195.10.1.2/24.
c:> ping 195.10.1.1
4. On switch1 and switch2, issue the show vlan command. You should note that, by
default, all switch ports are in VLAN1. Because router4, PC1, and the switch-to-switch
link are all in VLAN1, should be able to ping between PC1 and router4.
1900swx# show vlan
5. On switch1 and switch2, set up a VTP domain called bigdomain. Verify it has been
created with the show vtp command.
a. Question: what VTP operating mode are the switches in?
1900swx(config)# vtp domain bigdomain
1900swx(config)# exit
1900swx# show vtp
6. On switch1 and switch2, create VLAN 10, calling it ccnavlan. Issue the show vlan
command to verify it was successfully created.
a. Question: do you see any ports connected to VLAN 10. If not, why not?
1900swx(config)# vlan 10 name ccnavlan
1900swx(config)# exit
1900swx# show vlan
7. On switch1 and switch2, assign the e0/1 ports to the new VLAN you created. Router4
and PC1 are attached to these ports. Issue the show vlan command on both switches to
verify these ports have been moved to VLAN10. Also, issue the show vlan-membership
command. This is another command that shows VLAN assignments by port on the
1900.
Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Boson Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
1900swx(config)# interface e0/1
1900swx(config-if)# vlan-membership static 10
1900swx(config-if)# ctrl-z
1900swx# show vlan
1900swx# show vlan-membership
8. Now that both router4 and PC1 are in VLAN10, try to ping from the PC1 to router4. It
should fail.
a. Question: if both devices are in the same VLAN, why should the pings fail?
c:> ping 195.10.1.1
9. Make the link between switch1 and switch2 a trunk line capable of carrying traffic for
any VLAN. Use the show trunk a command to verify trunking is enabled on port fa0/26
on both switches (it should say “Trunking: on”)
a. Question: what trunking protocol does the 1900 use – ISL or 802.1Q?
1900swx(config)# interface fa0/26
1900swx(config-if)# trunk on
1900swx(config-if)# ctrl-z
1900swx# show trunk a
10. Now ping between PC1 and router4. The pings should succeed because both devices
are in the same VLAN and the inter-switch link is a trunk line capable of carrying traffic
for any VLAN.
c:> ping 195.10.1.1

but blocks traffic from all other devices. Apply this access-list to router1’s serial0
interface for inbound traffic.
a. Question: is a ‘deny any’ statement required in the access-list?
b. Question: what does the mask 0.0.0.255 mean in the access-list?
c. Question: can any number be assigned to a standard IP access-list?
router1(config)# access-list 1 permit 175.10.1.0 0.0.0.255
router1(config)# interface serial0
router1(config-if)# ip access-group 1 in
4. Test your access-list by ping’ing from router3 and router4 to router2. The pings from
router3 (in subnet 175.10.1.0)
should succeed while the pings from router4 (in subnet 180.10.1.0) should fail.
5. On router1, build an extended IP access-list that will allow Telnet traffic from host
175.10.1.2 (router3), and
ICMP traffic from host 180.10.1.2 (router4), but that will block everything else.
Remove the previous access-list and apply this new one to router1’s serial0 interface.
a. Question: what are two ways you can specify a host address in an extended IP accesslist?
b. Question: what is the number range for extended IP access-lists?
c. Question: how would you permit RIP routing updates?
router1(config)# access-list 100 permit tcp host 175.10.1.2 any eq telnet
router1(config)# access-list 100 permit icmp host 180.10.1.2 any
router1(config)# interface serial0
router1(config-if)# no ip access-group 1 in
router1(config-if)# ip access-group 100 in
6. Test access-list 100 by pinging and telneting from router3 & router4 to router2.
Router3 (175.10.1.2) should be able to telnet to router2, but not ping to it. Router4
(180.10.1.2) should be able to ping to router2, but not telnet to it.

LAB 15 - NAT/PAT
1. In this lab, you will configure NAT/PAT function on router1. You will configure three
forms of translation: static network address translation, dynamic translation, and
overloading (port address translation). Remember to disable the access lists your
configured in the previous lab before continuing this lab.
2. On router1, configure NAT to statically translate router2’s Ethernet address
160.10.1.2 to 169.10.1.2.
router1(config)# ip nat inside source static 160.10.1.2 169.10.1.2
router1(config)# interface ethernet0
router1(config-if)# ip address 160.10.1.1 255.255.255.0
router1(config-if)# ip nat inside
router1(config-if)# interface serial0
router1(config-if)# ip address 175.10.1.1 255.255.255.0
router1(config-if)# ip nat outside
router1(config-if)# no shut
3. Test the static NAT translation by telnet’ing from router2 to router3. Once into
router3, issue the show users command. The output of this command should show that
169.10.1.2 (the translated IP address) is the logged-in device.
router2# telnet 175.10.1.2
router3# show users
4. Display the NAT Translation table on router1. The output of the display should show
that the inside local IP address (160.10.1.2) is translated to the inside global IP address
(169.10.1.2).
a. Question: does the “inside global IP address” normally represent a public or a private
IP address?
router1# show ip nat translations
5. On router1, remove the previous static NAT commands and configure NAT to
translate router2’s Ethernet address to a dynamically assigned address. You will utilize a
pool of public addresses in the range of 169.10.1.50 to 169.10.1.100.
a. Question: if the pool of dynamically assigned addresses only contains one IP address
entry, what’s another term for this form of NAT translation?
router1(config)# no ip nat inside source static 160.10.1.2 169.10.1.2
router1(config)# ip nat pool pool1 169.10.1.50 169.10.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0
router1(config)# ip nat inside source list 1 pool pool1
router1(config)# access-list 1 permit 160.10.1.0 0.0.0.255
6. Test the dynamic NAT translation function by telneting from router2 to router3. Once
into router3, issue the show users command. The output of this command should show
Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Boson Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
that the logged-in device is 169.10.1.50 (the translated address). Also, display the NAT
translation table on router1 using the show ip nat translations command.
router2# telnet 175.10.1.2
router3# show users
|router1# show ip nat translations
7. Remove the previous NAT commands. Configure NAT overloading (port address
translation) on router1 to translate router2’s Ethernet address
(160.10.1.2) to the serial0 interface address (175.10.1.1) on router1.
router1(config)# ip nat inside source list 1 interface serial0 overload
router1(config)# interface Ethernet 0
router1(config-if)# ip address 160.10.1.1 255.255.255.0
router1(config-if)# ip nat inside
router1(config-if)# interface serial 0
router1(config-if)# ip address 175.10.1.1 255.255.255.0
router1(config-if)# ip nat outside
router1(config-if)# exit
router1(config)# access-list 1 permit 160.10.1.0 0.0.0.255
8. Test the overloading (PAT) function by Telnet’ing from router2 to router3. Issue the
show users command on router3. It should show that the logged-in device is 175.10.1.1
(the translated IP address). Also, issue the show ip nat translations command on router1
to display the NAT translation table.
router2# telnet 175.10.1.2
router3# show users
router1# show ip nat translations
9. Remove all NAT/PAT configuration commands from router1 before continuing on
with the CCNA labs.

LAB 16 - PPP & CHAP
1. In this lab, you will configure PPP and CHAP authentication on a serial interface. On
router1, issue the show interfaces serial 0 command. Note the encapsulation type of
HDLC which is the default for serial links.
router1# show interfaces serial 0
2. On router1 and router3, configure PPP encapsulation for interface S0. Note that the
link will not come up unless both ends are configured with the same encapsulation type.
routerx(config)# interface serial0
routerx(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
3. On router1 and router3, issue the show interfaces serial 0 command to verify that PPP
is configured for the link. The output should show the PPP LCP phase as ‘Open’ from
router1, ping router3 to verify the link is operational.
routerx# show interfaces serial 0
router1# ping 175.10.1.2
4. Configure PPP CHAP authentication for the S0 link on router1 and router3. Use the
password of ‘cisco’.
router1(config)# username router3 password cisco
router1(config)# interface serial 0
router1(config-if)# ppp authentication chap
router3(config)# username router1 password cisco
router3(config)# interface serial 0
router3(config-if)# ppp authentication chap
5. On router1 and router3, issue the show interfaces serial0 command to verify the link is
‘up and up’. Ping from router1 to router3 across the link.
routerx# show interfaces serial0
router1# ping 175.10.1.2

LAB 20 – FRAME RELAY
Router Interface IP Address Local DLCI
router1 serial 1 215.10.1.1 /24 105
router5 serial 0 215.10.1.2 /24 501
1. In this lab, you will set up frame relay PVC’s between router1 and router5 using both
physical interfaces and point-to-point sub interfaces. Both routers will be frame relay
DTE devices connected to a frame relay cloud.
2. Using physical interfaces (no sub interfaces), configure frame relay on router1’s serial1
interface and router5’s serial0 interface. Refer to the chart above for IP addresses and
local DLCI’s. Both routers will use ANSI as their lmi-type. Frame relay map statements
should be used for static mapping.
a. Question: what is the default lmi-type on Cisco routers?
router1(config)# interface serial1
router1(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay
router1(config-if)# ip address 215.10.1.1 255.255.255.0

router5(config-if)# frame-relay lmi-type ansi
router5(config-if)# no shut
3. Issue the show interfaces serial x command on both router1 and router5. This will
show if the routers are successfully connected to their local frame relay switches. The
status on the first line should be ‘up and line protocol is up’. On the fifth line of output,
you should also see ‘DTE LMI up’. The encapsulation type should be frame relay.
router1# show interfaces serial1
router5# show interfaces serial0
4. Issue the show frame-relay map command on router1 and router5. This will show the
mapping of local DLCI’s to remote IP addresses.
routerx# show frame-relay map
5. Issue the show frame-relay pvc command on router1 and router5. This will show the
status of the PVC’s connected to the routers. You want to
see a status of ‘active’ which indicates the PVC is operational end-to-end.
Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Boson Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
routerx# show frame-relay pvc
6. Issue the show frame-relay lmi command on router1.
This will show LMI statistics including how many status inquiries and replies have been
exchanged.
router1# show frame-relay lmi
7. Ping router1 from router5 to verify the frame-relay connection is working correctly.
router5# ping 215.10.1.1
8. You will now create point-to-point sub interfaces on router1 and router5.
You will use the same IP addresses and local DLCI’s as in the previous exercise.
It will be necessary to remove the IP addresses and frame map statements from the
physical interfaces prior to configuring the sub interfaces.
router1(config)# interface serial1
router1(config-if)# no ip address 215.10.1.1 255.255.255.0
router1(config-if)# no frame map ip 215.10.1.2 105 broadcast

router5(config-subif)# ip address 215.10.1.2 255.255.255.0
router5(config-subif)# frame-relay interface-dlci 501
9. On both router1 and router5, issue the show ip interface brief command to insure the
physical interfaces and sub interfaces are active (status = up and up). Issue a show frame
relay pvc command on both routers to insure the PVC with DLCI 105 on router1 and
DLCI 501 on router5 is active.
routerx# show ip interface brief

default on the Cisco router. Routing for
other layer 3 protocols must be turned on explicitly using commands such as ipx routing
or decnet routing.
26a. Question: what status should interface E0/0 show if it is fully activated?
• Answer: ‘Ethernet is up and Line Protocol is Up’
b. Question: what status would E0/0 show if it was in ‘shutdown’ mode?
• Answer: ‘Administratively Down’
27a. Question: Were you successful? If not what commands should you use for
trouble-shooting?
• Answer: If you cannot successfully ping router1, you should use:
1. show interfaces: to verify the interface(s) are up
2. show run: to verify the IP addresses and subnet masks are correct
LAB 2 – Advanced Router Configuration

CDP advertisement information in its tables if it doesn’t receive another CDP
advertisement from this device.
LAB 5 – TFTP
7a. Question: was it necessary to clear out router4’s NVRAM in order to copy a file
into it? Why?
• Answer: No. When you copy a file into NVRAM, it will overwrite completely what’s
in there. When you copy a file into DRAM (running-config),
however, it merges that file with what is already in there.
LAB 6 - RIP
1a. Question: On router1, why doesn’t the network statement under RIP specify
160.10.1.0 rather than 160.10.0.0?
• Answer: The network statement under both RIP and IGRP must specify a classful
network number (A, B, or C address). It cannot be a subnet.
160.10.1.0 is a subnet, not a classful address.
2a. Question: how frequently does RIP advertise routing updates?
• Answer: every 30 seconds.
b. Question: what is the holddown interval for RIP?
• Answer: 180 seconds.
3a. Question: what is the administrative distance for RIP?
• Answer: 120.
LAB 7 – IGRP
3a. Question: how frequently does IGRP send out routing updates?
• Answer: every 90 seconds.
b. Question: what is the holddown interval for IGRP?
• Answer: 280 seconds.
c. Question: what is the default hop count for IGRP?
• Answer: 100 (maximum of 100 routers along the path).
4a. Question: what is the administrative distance for IGRP?
• Answer: 100.
6a. Question: what is the difference between the two debug ip igrp commands?
• Answer: the debug ip igrp events command traces IGRP routing updates without
showing individual network numbers.
The debug ip igrp transactions command shows routing updates with individual network
numbers that are being advertised or received.
LAB 8 – EIGRP
Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Boson Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
3a. Question: what is the maximum router hop count with EIGRP? Answer: 100 hops.
6a. Question: what does the EIGRP topology database contain?
• Answer: the EIGRP topology database contains primary and backup routes to each
destination learned from EIGRP neighbors.
The ‘best routes’ (those with the lowest composite metric) are termed successor routes
and are inserted in the IP routing table on the router.
7a. Question: what is the administrative distance for EIGRP? Answer: 90.
LAB 9 – OSPF
3a. Question: how frequently does OSPF send routing updates.
• Answer: OSPF is a link state routing protocol and does not send out periodic routing
updates.
OSPF will flood a Link State Advertisement (LSA) when a topology change occurs.
5a. Question: what is the OSPF cost for a 10Mbps Ethernet interface?
• Answer: the default cost is 10 which is calculated by dividing the speed of the interface
into 100,000,000.
The default cost can be overridden using the ip ospf cost interface-level command.
6a. Question: what is the administrative distance for OSPF? Answer: 110.
LAB 10 – 1900 Switch Configuration
4a. Question: do you need to issue copy running-config startup-config on the
Catalyst 1900 to save the running configuration? If not, why not?
• Answer: No – the Catalyst 1900 automatically saves any configuration changes you
make to NVRAM.
8a. Question: What is the Spanning Tree (802.1D) state of interface e0/1?
• Answer: it is in the ‘forwarding’ state.
b. Question: What is the duplex setting for interface e0/2?
• Answer: Half-duplex - 10baseT ports default to half-duplex.
10a. Question: What version of IOS is the switch running?
• Answer: Version V4.00.00.
b. Question: What is the base Ethernet address of switch2?
• Answer: 00-0C-55-09-32-11.
11a. Question: what is the address of the root bridge? Answer: 000C.1835.8565
b. Question: what is the port cost of E0/1? Answer: 100.

5a. Question: what VTP operating mode are the switches in?
• Answer: the Catalyst 1900 switch defaults to ‘server’ mode.
6a. Question: do you see any ports connected to VLAN 10. If not, why not?
• Answer: No. Although VLAN 10 has been created, no ports have been manually
assigned to it, as yet.
8a. Question: if both devices are in the same VLAN, why should the pings fail?
• Answer: The link connecting switch1 and switch2 is still in VLAN 1.
It must be configured to be in VLAN 10 or configured as a trunk line which, by
definition, is capable of supporting all VLANs.
9a. Question: what trunking protocol does the 1900 use – ISL or 802.1Q?
• Answer: ISL.
Lab 12 – CATALYST 2950 SWITCH CONFIGURATION
4a. Question: Do you need to issue copy running-config startup-config on the Catalyst
2950 to save the running configuration?
• Answer: Yes. The active configuration is not automatically saved to NVRAM on the
2950.
9a. Question: What is the Spanning Tree (802.1D) state of interface fa0/1?
• Answer: forwarding.
b. Question: What is the duplex setting for interface fa0/2?
• Answer: auto – 10//100 ports default to auto-negotiate on the 2950.

• Answer: No. Although VLAN 20 has been created, no ports have been manually
assigned to it, as yet.
8a. Question: if both devices are in the same VLAN, why should the pings fail?
• Answer: The link connecting switch3 and switch4 is still in VLAN 1.
It must be configured to be in VLAN 20 or configured as a trunk line which, by
definition, is capable of supporting all VLANs.
Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Boson Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
9a. Question: what trunking protocol does the 2950 use – ISL or 802.1Q?
• Answer: the 2950 only supports 802.1Q.
LAB 14 – ACCESS LISTS
3a. Question: is a ‘deny any’ statement required in the access-list?
• Answer: No – an implicit ‘deny any’ is at the end of every access-list.
b. Question: what does the mask 0.0.0.255 mean in the access-list?
• Answer: This is a wildcard or reverse mask. It means permit any device where the
source address starts with 175.10.1 in the first three octets.
c. Question: can any number be assigned to a standard IP access-list?
• Answer: No – standard IP access-lists are in the range 1-99 or 1300-1999..
5a. Question: what are two ways you can specify a host address in an extended
IP access-list?
• Answer: You can specify ‘host 172.16.1.1’ or ‘172.16.1.1 0.0.0.0’.
b. Question: what is the number range for extended IP access-lists?
• Answer: 100-199 or 2000-2699..
c. Question: how would you permit RIP routing updates:
• Answer: access-list 100 permit udp any any eq 520 (RIP uses UDP port 520)
Lab 15 – NAT/PAT
4a. Question: does the “inside global IP address” normally represent a public or a
private IP address?
• Answer: the inside global IP address normally represents a public, or registered IP
address.
NAT/PAT translates the inside local IP address, which is usually a private IP address, to
an inside global IP address,
which is usually a registered IP address.
5a. Question: if the pool of dynamically assigned addresses only contains one IP
address entry, what’s another term for this form of NAT translation?
• Answer: this is also known as overloading or Port Address Translation (PAT). It is
possible to configure overloading by defining one or a few
IP addresses in the dynamic address pool. This is an alternative to pointing to a physical
interface in the PAT definitions.
LAB 17 – ISDN BRI-BRI using Legacy DDR
3a. Question: what status are the B channels? Why?
• Answer: the B channels are ‘down and down’ since no calls are active.
4a. Question: which configuration parameter(s) on router1 identifies the
interesting traffic that will trigger a call?
Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Boson Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
• Answer: the dialer-list and dialer-group commands are used to identify
‘interesting traffic’
5a. Question: what does it show for ‘Layer 3 Status’?
• Answer: It should show ‘1 Active Layer 3 Call’
6a. Question: what is the status of the two B channels?
• Answer: Now that a call has been established, one of the B channels should be ‘up and
line protocol up’.
The other one should still have a status of down and down.
LAB 19 – ISDN PRI using Dialer Profiles
1a. Question: if this PRI was being configured in Europe, what would the options be for
controller type, framing, and linecode?
• Answer: In Europe, the controller type is E1; the framing is either crc4 or no-crc4, and
the linecode is hdb3.
