(Updated from real SWITCH Exam on 08-August-2010)

Notice: This is just a sketch about this sim. I can not guarantee the information posted below is correct. So if you know anything new about this sim please post here. Your ideas and comments are warmly welcome!

Question:

I am still not sure about the question but we need to configure the Multilayer Switch so that PCs from VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 can communicate with the Server.

VTP Lab 2

August 8th, 2010 in LabSim

Question:

Acme is a small export company that has an existing enterprise network comprised of 5 switches;
CORE,DSW1,DSW2,ASW1 and ASW2. The topology diagram indicates their desired pre-VLAN spanning tree mapping.
Previous configuration attempts have resulted in the following issues:
– CORE should be the root bridge for VLAN 20; however, DSW1 is currently the root bridge for VLAN 20.
– Traffic for VLAN 30 should be forwarding over the gig 1/0/6 trunk port between DSW1 and DSW2. However VLAN 30 is currently using gig 1/0/5.
– Traffic for VLAN 40 should be forwarding over the gig 1/0/5 trunk port between DSW1 and DSW2. However VLAN 40 is currently using gig 1/0/6.

You have been tasked with isolating the cause of these issuer and implementing the appropriate solutions. You task is complicated by the fact that you only have full access to DSW1, with isolating the cause of these issues and implementing the appropriate solutions. Your task is complicated by the fact that you only have full access to DSW1, with the enable secret password cisco. Only limited show command access is provided on CORE, and DSW2 using the enable 2 level with a password of acme. No configuration changes will be possible on these routers. No access is provided to ASW1 or ASW2.

VTP Lab

August 8th, 2010 in LabSim

Question:

The headquarter offices for a book retailer are enhancing their wiring closets with Layer3 switches. The new distribution-layer switch has been installed and a new access-layer switch cabled to it. Your task is to configure VTP to share VLAN information from the distribution-layer switch to the access-layer devices. Then, it is necessary to configure interVLAN routing on the distribution layer switch to route traffic between the different VLANs that are configured on the access-layer switches; however, it is not necessary for you to make the specific VLAN port assignments on the access-layer switches. Also, because VLAN database mode is being deprecated by Cisco, all VLAN and VTP configurations are to be completed in the global configuration mode. Please reference the following table for the VTP and VLAN information to be configured:

Requirements:

VTP Domain name cisco
VLAN Ids 20 21
IP Addresses 172.16.71.1/24 172.16.132.1/24

These are your specific tasks:

1. Configure the VTP information with the distribution layer switch as the VTP server
2. Configure the VTP information with the access layer switch as a VTP client
3. Configure VLANs on the distribution layer switch
4. Configure inter-VLAN routing on the distribution layer switch
5. Specific VLAN port assignments will be made as users are added to the access layer switches in the future.
6. All VLANs and VTP configurations are to completed in the global configuration. To configure the switch click on the host icon that is connected to the switch be way of a serial console cable.

Spanning Tree Lab Sim

August 8th, 2010 in LabSim

Question:

The headquarter office for a cement manufacturer is installing a temporary Catalyst 3550 in an IDF to connect 24 additional users. To prevent network corruption, it is important to have the correct configuration prior to connecting to the production network. It will be necessary to ensure that the switch does not participate in VTP but forwards VTP advertisements that are received on trunk ports.
Because of errors that have been experienced on office computers, all nontrunking interfaces should transition immediately to the forwarding state of Spanning tree. Also, configure the user ports (all FastEthernet ports) so that the ports are permanently nontrunking.

Requirements:
You will configure FastEthernet ports 0/12 through 0/24 for users who belong to VLAN 20. Also, all VLAN and VTP configurations are to be completed in global configuration mode as VLAN database mode is being deprecated by Cisco. You are required to accomplish the following tasks:

1. Ensure the switch does not participate in VTP but forwards VTP advertisements received on trunk ports.
2. Ensure all non-trunking interfaces (Fa0/1 to Fa0/24) transition immediately to the forwarding state of Spanning-Tree.
3. Ensure all FastEthernet interfaces are in a permanent non-trunking mode.
4. Place FastEthernet interfaces 0/12 through 0/24 in VLAN 20.

Question:

Acme is a small shipping company that has an existing enterprise network comprised of 2 switches;DSW1 and ASW1. The topology diagram indicates their layer 2 mapping. VLAN 40 is a new VLAN that will be used to provide the shipping personnel access to the server. For security reasons, it is necessary to restrict access to VLAN 20 in the following manner:
– Users connecting to ASW1’s port must be authenticate before they are given access to the network. Authentication is to be done via a Radius server:
– Radius server host: 172.120.39.46
– Radius key: rad123
– Authentication should be implemented as close to the host device possible.
– Devices on VLAN 20 are restricted to in the address range of 172.120.40.0/24.
– Packets from devices in the address range of 172.120.40.0/24 should be passed on VLAN 20.
– Packets from devices in any other address range should be dropped on VLAN 20.
– Filtering should be implemented as close to the server farm as possible.
The Radius server and application servers will be installed at a future date. You have been tasked with implementing the above access control as a pre-condition to installing the servers. You must use the available IOS switch features.
