Lab Challenge 1 – Switch Config

August 26th, 2014 in Lab Challenge Go to comments

In this lab you will config 4 switches which are interconnected with each other.

Four_switches_topology.jpg

In our simulator, you can only use “?’ with a space before for seeing the next keywords (for example: “spanning ?”, not “spanning?”). The simulator can be accessed via this link: http://www.rstut.com/final_flash/Four_Switches_Lab_1/Four_Switches_Lab_1.html.

Please let us know if you like this simulator or not so that we can continue making other simulators in the future. Any suggestion, recommendation, error reports are warmly welcomed!

We are still working to add more Lab Challenges like this. If you have any challenges, commands or suggestions please comment here or send an email to support@rstut.com. Every contribution is warmly welcome!

    Statement 12 is being marked incorrect and the command requested is : “switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q”

    switchport nonegotiate

    Nice,

    Took a few tries to figure out that it only checks up to the first error. It would be nice if it could check all the answers at once so that one can immediately see which ones they got wrong.
    Not sure how to use the “?” yet.

    @Anonymous: Thanks for your suggestion. You can only use the “?” after “space” to see the next options.

    Having a problem with statements 11 & 12 as they are both should be configured as “switchport nonegotiate” command and it is not taking it.

  8. Shadi

    ok for statement 11: switchport mode trunk” and statement 12 “switchport nonegotiate” I don’t know why, but if anyone has an explanation, please share it.

    thanks

    @Shadi: Requirement 9 has two parts:
    1) Configure a dot1q trunk between Sw2 & Sw4 using Fa0/19 interfaces.
    2) These ports should not use DTP to negotiate a trunk

    So we need two commands.

    question 2 – why don’t these work?

    spanning-tree vlan 10 priority 0
    spanning-tree vlan 10 priority 4096

    spanning-tree vlan 10 root primary
    spanning-tree vlan 10 root secondary

    What is the answer?

  11. rstut
    September 2nd, 2014

    @networker: These statements are correct:
    spanning-tree vlan 10 root primary
    spanning-tree vlan 10 root secondary

    This question is missing the requirement “without using priority keyword”. Thanks for your information, we have just updated Q.2.

    Q3 –
    what port path cost should be implemented?
    command should be: “spanning-tree vlan 10 cost xx”
    0? 1? 100?

  14. rstut
    September 5th, 2014

    @ccna: The command “spanning-tree vlan 10 cost xx” can only be used under interface mode. Also that command cannot guarantee Sw1 to be the root bridge.

    Hello guys!

    First of all I want to thank you for this nice simulator!
    In question nr. 9 is mistake…the question is:
    “Configure a dot1q trunk between SW2 and SW4 using interface F0/21; these ports should not use DTP to negotiate a Trunk.”
    The problem is that there is no connection via F0/21 between SW2 and SW4. It is only “cosmetic” issue but please correct this question. Thanks.

    Have a nice day.

    Thank you for the simulator. I had to work harder than I ‘d like to admit to figure it out! LOL
    One correction, Question 5 references interfaces fa0/23 and fa0/24 but then specifies fa0/19 and fa0/20 in the range command. I believe this needs to be corrected.
