Lab - Basic Switch and End Device ConfigurationRequired Resources• 2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)• 2 PCs (Windows with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)• Console cables to configure the Cisco IOs devices via the console portsEthernet cables as shown in the topologyInstructions1.Set Up the Network TopologyIn this step, you will cable the devices together according to the network topology.a. Power on the devices.b. Connect the two switches.c. Connect the PCs to their respective switches.d. Visually inspect network connections.2.Configure PC Hostsa. Configure static IP address information on the PCs according to the Addressing Table.b. Verify PC settings and connectivity.3.Configure and Verify Basic Switch SettingsConsole into the switch. Enter the global configuration mode.a.b. Give the switch a name according to the Addressing Table.c. Prevent unwanted DNS lookups.d. Enter local passwords. Use class as the privileged EXEC password and cisco as the password forconsole access.e. Configure and enable the SVI according to the Addressing Table.f. Enter a login MOTD banner to warn about unauthorized access.g. Save the configuration.h. Display the current configuration.i. Display the IOS version and other useful switch information.j. Display the status of the connected interfaces on the switch.k. Configure switch S2.I. Record the interface status for the following interfaces.S1 StatusS1 ProtocolS2 StatusS2 ProtocolInterfaceFO/1FO/6FO/18VLAN 1m. From a PC, ping S1 and S2.

You will also configure basicsettings including hostname, local passwords, and login banner. Use show commands to display the runningconfiguration, IOS version, and interface status. Use the copy command to save device configurations.You will apply IP addressing for this lab to the PCs and switches to enable communication between thedevices. Úse the ping utility to verify connectivity.Note: The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Otherswitches and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, thecommands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs.Note: Make sure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. Refer to Appendix Afor the procedure to initialize and reload a switch.
