Introduction to Routing and Switching Lab Week 2 Guided Practice 1 – VLSM Subnetting (OL) In this guided practice you will be setting up and programming three routers and three switches using Packet Tracer. In Packet Tracer you will need to switch to the physical tab (at the top left of the screen) and then drill down to Home city, corporate office, and main wiring closet. You will be programming the following network in the physical tab of Packet Tracer. Scroll down until you see the rack on the left and the table on the right. Go to the routers and click and drag three 4321 router onto the rack. Then click on the switches and drag three 2960 switches onto your rack and place them as show below.
Now turn off your routers and place a NIM-2T and a NIM-Cover into the left and right slots on the router. Turn the router back on. Do the same thing for each router. Next drag four PCs over to your table. There will be a yellow block that appear when your PC is in the proper place. Put two on top of the table on one under the table. You will also place two servers into the rack below the routers and switches. Your finished setup should look like the screen below. You are now ready to continue to Task 1.
Task 1 – Wiring your network Your network should have three routers, three switches, two servers and four PCs which we are going to wire together into a network. We will also connect the first PC into the console ports of the routers and switches and program a hostname onto each. First, we will wire the routers together using serial (HSSI) cables. This allows your routers to send packets between each network and will allow the local area networks to connect together in a wide area network. Using serial DCE cable from the connections list plug the DCE side of the cable into the left side of the serial card on the router. Go to the second router and plug the other side of the cable to the right side of that serial card.
Do the same thing from router two to router three. Finally, plug from the left side of router 3 back to the right side of router 1.
This will give you a loop through each of your routers and will allow the network to keep working even if one of your serial circuits fails. Next, we will connect a straight through Ethernet cable from the second router’s port G0/0/0 to the top switch. The routers have three ports in the middle of the system which are labeled G0/0/0 and G0/0/1. These are the two programmable gigabit Ethernet ports which you will be using to build your LAN network. The third port, on the right, is for fiber optics and requires a plug-in module to work. Plug your Ethernet cable into the bottom port labeled G0/0/0. On your switch there are 24 Ethernet ports and two Gigabit Ethernet ports on the right-hand side. We’re going to plug the other end of our Ethernet cable into the first Gigabit port on the right side. Next you are going to wire from the third router into the second switch and then from the second to the third switch. When you are complete it should look like the diagram below.
Wire up each of your PCs into the switches as shown in the table below. System Switch Port Server1 Sw1 F0/1 Server2 Sw1 F0/12 PC1 Sw2 F0/1 PC2 Sw2 F0/12 PC3 Sw3 F0/1 PC4 Sw3 F0/12 Now run a straight through Ethernet cable from your R1 port G0/0/0 to the “CSU-DSU” at the top of the Internet rack. You will need to scroll all the way to the right to get to the Internet’s rack in the physical network. You will notice this connection goes “out of the building” in your network. Now you are going to wire from your console port on your router to the serial port (RS232) port on your PC. Locate the serial port on your PC. Plug the cable that looks like the one on the right into the serial port.
