11 Cisco Device Functions - Lab Exercises

11 Cisco Device Functions – Lab Exercise
This lab explores the MAC address table on Cisco IOS switches and routing
table on Cisco IOS routers.
This lab is a guided walkthrough of Cisco device functions. Don’t worry if you
don’t understand all the commands here yet – we’ll cover them in much more
detail as you go through the rest of the course.
Lab Topology
Load the Startup Configurations

Open the ’11 Cisco Device Functions.pkt’ file in Packet Tracer to load the lab.
This preconfigures each router with an IP address in the 10.10.10.0/24 network.

Verify the Switch MAC Address Tables
1) Log into routers R1 to R4 and verify which interface is configured on the
10.10.10.0/24 network.
R1#show ip interface brief

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
GigabitEthernet0/0 10.10.10.1 YES manual up up
GigabitEthernet0/1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
Vlan1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down



R1, R2 and R4 are using GigabitEthernet0/0, R3 is using GigabitEthernet0/1.
2) Note down the MAC addresses of these interfaces.
R1#show interface gig0/0

GigabitEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
Hardware is CN Gigabit Ethernet, address is 0090.2b82.ab01
(bia 0090.2b82.ab01)

Hardware is CN Gigabit Ethernet, address is 0060.2fb3.9152
(bia 0060.2fb3.9152)

Hardware is CN Gigabit Ethernet, address is 0001.9626.8970
(bia 0001.9626.8970)
Hardware is CN Gigabit Ethernet, address is 00d0.9701.02a9
(bia 00d0.9701.02a9)
Note: the MAC addresses in your lab may be different.
3) Verify connectivity between the routers by pinging R2, R3 and R4 from

R1.
R1#ping 10.10.10.2
Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.10.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
.!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/3 ms
R1#ping 10.10.10.3

.!!!!
R1#ping 10.10.10.4

.!!!!
4) Ping R3 and R4 from R2.
R2#ping 10.10.10.3

.!!!!
R2#ping 10.10.10.4

.!!!!
5) View the dynamically learned MAC addresses on SW1 and verify that the
router’s MAC addresses are reachable via the expected ports. Ignore any
other MAC addresses in the table.
SW1#show mac address-table dynamic

6) Repeat on SW2.

1 0090.2b82.ab01 DYNAMIC Fa0/24
1 00d0.9701.02a9 DYNAMIC Fa0/4
7) Clear the dynamic MAC Address Table on SW1.
SW1#clear mac address-table dynamic

8) Show the dynamic MAC Address Table on SW1. Do you see any MAC
addresses? Why or why not?

Mac Address Table
-------------------------------------------

---- ----------- -------- -----
1 0001.9626.8970 DYNAMIC Fa0/24

1 000c.cf84.8418 DYNAMIC Fa0/24
1 0060.2fb3.9152 DYNAMIC Fa0/2
1 0090.2b82.ab01 DYNAMIC Fa0/1
1 00d0.9701.02a9 DYNAMIC Fa0/24
Devices in a real world network tend to be chatty and send traffic frequently, this
causes the MAC address table to update (you may see less entries in Packet
Tracer).
The switch will periodically flush old entries.

Examine a Routing Table
1) View the routing table on R1. What routes are present and why?
R1#show ip route
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area
* - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR
P - periodic downloaded static route
Gateway of last resort is not set
10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks

C 10.10.10.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
L 10.10.10.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
The router has a connected route for the 10.10.10.0/24 network and a local route
for 10.10.10.1/32. These routes were automatically created when the IP address
10.10.10.1/24 was configured on interface GigabitEthernet0/0
2) Configure IP address 10.10.20.1/24 on interface GigabitEthernet0/1
R1(config)#interface GigabitEthernet 0/1

R1(config-if)#ip address 10.10.20.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)#no shutdown
3) What routes are in the routing table now?
R1#show ip route

The router has routes for both interfaces and can route traffic between hosts on
the 10.10.10.0/24 and 10.10.20.0/24 networks.
4) Configure a static route to 10.10.30.0/24 with a next hop address of
10.10.10.2
R1(config)#ip route 10.10.30.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2
5) What routes are in the routing table now?
R1(config)#do show ip route


S 10.10.30.0/24 [1/0] via 10.10.10.2
The router has routes to its locally connected networks, and also to
10.10.30.0/24 which is available via 10.10.10.2
