Below are notes taken during the exercise to create our network.

Notes

• Three switches were connected

• 3 Power Cables were connected then we used 1 console cable from Pauls PC to the switch

• 4 ethernet cables were utilized

• First we wiped the system

• We then set the hostname to 'West-MLS'

• After setting the hostname we ran: 'ip routing' to enable routing

• Then we defined the VLAN via CLI using:

• 'Vlan 200'

• 'Name Central Clinic'

• 'Vlan 210'

• 'Name Central Admin'

• We used the command 'show run' to observe the ports and recognized that we had gigabit ethernet not fastethernet port

Then we set the ports to trunk by using:

• Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1

• "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q"

• Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/2

• "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q"

• After having these vlans configured we set the ports to trunk by using the command: 'switchport mode trunk' for each VLAN port

•  

• Second Switch Configuration

• We copy and pasted the configurations from the main layer switch to the North Edge Switch with the following changes:

• Hostname: 'hostname North-Central-Wing'

• VLAN names:

• 'Vlan 200'

• 'Name Central Clinic'

• 'Vlan 210'

• 'Name Central Admin'

• Ran: 'show run' to observe ports and ensure they are gigabit ethernet ports

Then we set the ports to trunk by using:

• Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1

• "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q"

• Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/2

• "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q"

• After having these vlans configured we set the ports to trunk by using the command: 'switchport mode trunk' for each VLAN port

• After copying the configurations we set the port ranges to the appropriate VLAN:

• Interface range gigabitEthernet2/0/1-6

• Switchport access vlan 200

• Interface range gigabitEthernet2/0/7-13

• Switchport access vlan 210

• Once these switches were configured both Paul and Oliver and set up the Kali boxes required

• When booting up they pressed:

• 'Enter' and then f12

• To ensure connectivity both ran a pings to each other and default gateways

• Third Switch Configuration

• We copy and pasted the configurations from the main layer switch to the North Edge Switch with the following changes:

• Hostname: 'hostname North-Central-Wing'

• VLAN names:

• 'Vlan 200'

• 'Name Central Clinic'

• 'Vlan 210'

• 'Name Central Admin'

• Ran: 'show run' to observe ports and ensure they are gigabit ethernet ports

Then we set the ports to trunk by using:

• Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1

• "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q"

• Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/2

• "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q"

• After having these vlans configured we set the ports to trunk by using the command: 'switchport mode trunk' for each VLAN port

• We ran into an issue with the trunk ports which was troubleshot by entering the following command before setting the ports to trunk ports:

• 'switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q'

• 'switchport mode access'

• 'no switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q'

• After copying the configurations we set the port ranges to the appropriate VLAN:

• Interface range gigabitEthernet2/0/1-6

• Switchport access vlan 200

• Interface range gigabitEthernet2/0/7-13

• Switchport access vlan 210

•  

• We gave done write, erase and enable after connecting to the Central-MLS
