Section 4 – Configuring Cisco Catalyst Series Switches
In this lab you will Learn how to configure Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and tweak the CDP timer.
In this lab you will learn how to create, name and assign switch ports to Virtual Local Area Networks, also known as VLAN’s
In this lab you will learn how to create and/or configure a Cisco Catalyst Switched Virtual Interface; also known as a VLAN Interface for management purposes.
In this lab you will learn how to configure an Inter-Switch Link (ISL) and 802.1q (dotq) trunk link between two or more Cisco switches to pass all vlan traffic between cisco switches.
In this lab you will learn how to configure a static ether-channel to bundle multiple physical links into a single logical link.
In this lab you will learn how to configure a dynamic EtherChannel using the IEEE Standard protocol; Link Aggregation Control Protocol, also known as LACP.
In this lab you will learn how to configure a dynamic EtherChannel using the IEEE Standard protocol; Link Aggregation Control Protocol, also known as LACP.
In this lab you will learn how to configure the port-channel interface that is tied directly to an EtherChannel group number.
In this lab you will learn how to configure a static ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) entry on a Cisco IOS Switch and/or Router.
In this lab you will learn how to configure the basics of VTP and securing VTP to allow for VLAN propagation from a centralized management switch to all switches in a network.
In this lab you will learn how to configure VTP Transparent mode used to act as a passive VTP member and VTP Pruning which stops unnecessary VLAN traffic to switches not needing it.
In this lab you will learn how to configure Inter-VLAN routing, also known as router on a stick using a switch with a trunk link to a router with sub-interfaces in each VLAN.
In this lab you will learn how to configure the Cisco proprietary Per VLAN STP to enable layer two loop detection and prevention to prevent broadcast storms in the switching network.
In this lab you will learn how to configure the IEEE 802.1w Standard (Cisco) Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol on a Cisco Catalyst Series Switch.
In this lab you will learn how to configure a single Multiple Spanning Tree region with multiple instances to load balance VLAN traffic over multiple dot1q trunk links.
In this lab you will learn how to configure Spanning-Tree Switchport Portfast used to transition a port to forwarding immediately; commonly used on host based access ports.
In this lab you will learn how to configure Spanning Tree’s Switchport BPDU Guard used to prevent unwanted rouge switches in the network by shutting down ports where BPDU’s are received.
In this lab you will learn how to configure several interface specific attributes for Spanning Tree Protocol such as bpdufilter, cost, link-type and port-priority.
In this lab you will learn how to protect switches from MAC address table poisoning by configuring a Cisco Catalyst series switch to use a feature called Port Security.
In this lab you will learn how to configure automatic and static sticky port-security to prevent unauthorized network device swaps in the network.
Learn how to configure a Switched Port Analyzer Session (SPAN) to mirror all traffic on a single port to another port for traffic analysis.
