Notes:
1. This lab does not provide the switch configuration commands as they can easily be found from the
Internet and the Cisco official website. For example if you type in Google: “cisco switches configure
port security”, from the results, look for the Cisco documentation link and you will see all the
available commands for the specified keyword.
From the results of the above search keyword, the first link was:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12-
2/25ew/configuration/guide/conf/port_sec.html
Also, from the configuration command line interface you can type the command followed by “?” and
you will see different possible options for that particular command. (ex: interface ? ).
2. In your report provide the names of any persons you collaborated with.
3. For any configuration command make sure you understand what it means and know what can
be the alternatives.
4. In your report please include the screen shot of your configuration commands for each
question.
Device Device type Interface IP address Subnet mask VLAN ID Default gateway
R1SW2 2960 switch vlan1 10.10.1.6 /24 1 N/A
R1SW1 3560 switch vlan1 10.10.1.7 /24 1 N/A
PC1 N/A N/A 10.10.1.50 /24 1 N/A
PC2 N/A N/A 10.10.1.51 /24 1 N/A
Note: By default all the ports of the switches are in VLAN 1. Therefore, you do not have to
create it.
3 Configurations
3.1 Port
Configuration:
Now disconnect the console cable from your computer and connect the Ethernet cable to one of the ports
of the switch and use telnet to access the switch command line interface (it is best practice to always use
port 1 for the switch management)
1. Connect PC1 and PC2 to a switch. Ping from PC1 to PC2
2. Check the status of ports using ‘show interface status’ or ‘show ip interface brief’
3. Configure the Port that connects PC1 to the Switch. Set it up as 10Mbps and Half Duplex
4. Verify that PC1 adjusts to Switch port configuration verify that PC1 still reaches PC2
