Lab 5.1: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
===================================================================================
===========================

=======================================================
Task 1: Assign PCs to VLAN 711
=======================================================

===================
PC-1
===================

1. Access PC-1.
2. Open Putty and open a SSH session to Core-1 (10.251.0.1) and login with
cxf7/aruba123

===================
Core-1 (via PC-1)
===================
10.251.7.1

Core-1# page 40

4. Confirm STP is active.

Core-1# configure terminal
Core-1(config)# show spanning-tree

===================
PC-1
===================
5. Open Putty and open a SSH session to Core-2 (10.251.0.2), and login with:
cxf7/aruba123

===================
Core-2 (via PC-1)
===================
6. Confirm STP is active.
Core-2(config)# show spanning-tree | include Spanning

===================
Access-1 and Access-2
===================
7. Repeat step 6 on Access-1 and Access-2.

T11-Access-1# show spanning-tree | include Spanning

T11-Access-2# show spanning-tree | include Spanning

===================
Access-1
===================
8. Move back to Access-1.
9. Allow VLANs 711 and 712 on interface 1/1/22 and enable the port.

T11-Access-1# configure terminal

T11-Access-1(config)# interface 1/1/22
T11-Access-1(config-if)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712
T11-Access-1(config-if)# no shutdown
T11-Access-2(config-if)# show lldp neighbor-info
T11-Access-1(config-if)# description TO_CORE-2_PORT-Y

===================
Access-2
===================
12. Move to Access-2 and repeat steps 9 to 11. The remote port that interface
1/1/22
is connected to on the Core-2 side will be 1/1/Z.
T11-Access-2# configure terminal
T11-Access-2(config)# interface 1/1/22
T11-Access-2(config-if)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712
T11-Access-2(config-if)# no shutdown
T11-Access-2(config-if)# show lldp neighbor-info
T11-Access-2(config-if)# description TO_CORE-2_PORT-Z
T11-Access-2(config-if)#

===================
Core-1
===================
13. Use LLDP to discover the ports used for the connection to Core-2. Use a
filtered
version of this command to display relevant output only.
Core-1# show lldp neighbor-info | exclude 1/21

14. Move to ports 1/1/43 and 1/1/44 and make each port a trunk interface that
allows
VLANs 711 and 712.
NOTE: Replace the highlighted “7” for your table number.
Core-1(config)# interface 1/1/43-1/1/44
Core-1(config-if-<1/1/43-1/1/44>)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712
Core-1(config-if-<1/1/43-1/1/44>)# exit
Core-1(config)#

===================
Core-2
===================
15. Open the SSH session of Core-2.
16. Define the height of the page to 40 lines.
Core-2# page 40

17. Create VLAN 711 and name it T7-EMPLOYEE.

Core-2# configure terminal
Core-2(config)# vlan 711
Core-2(config-vlan-1111)# name T7_EMPLOYEES
Core-2(config-vlan-1111)# exit

18. Create VLAN 712 and name it T7_MANAGERS.

Core-2# configure terminal
Core-2(config)# vlan 712
Core-2(config-vlan-1112)# name T7_MANAGERS
Core-2(config-vlan-1112)# exit

19. Access port 1/1/Y. Make the description TO_T7-ACCESS-1_PORT-22 and make
the interface a trunk interface that allows VLANs 711 and 712.

Core-2(config)# interface 1/1/Y

Core-2(config-if)# description TO_T7-ACCESS-1_PORT-22
Core-2(config-if)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712

Core-2(config)# interface 1/1/Z

Core-2(config-if)# description TO_T7-ACCESS-2_PORT-22
Core-2(config-if)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712

21. Access ports 1/1/43 and 1/1/44, make the port a trunk interface that allows
VLANs
711 and 712.
Core-2(config-if)# exit
Core-2(config)# interface 1/1/43-1/1/44
Core-2(config-if-<1/1/43-1/1/44>)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712
Core-2(config-if-<1/1/43-1/1/44>)# exit

Core-2(config)# interface lag 10

Core-2(config-lag-if)# vlan trunk allowed 711-712
Core-2(config-lag-if)# exit
Core-2(config)#

Task 2: Verify the Topology
=======================================================
Access-1
1. Access the terminal session to Access-1.
2. Show a filtered version of the “show spanning-tree” to get the switch MAC
address
and switch priority only.
T11-Access-1# show spanning-tree | begin 1 Bridge

Core-1, Core-2 and Access-2

4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with Core-1, Core-2 and Access-2.
T11-Access-2# show spanning-tree | begin 1 Bridge

Core-1# show spanning-tree | begin 1 Bridge

Core-2# show spanning-tree | begin 1 Bridge

5. On figure 5.1-2 put a start by the switch that you have identified as Root
Bridge.
Other fields you will fill out in later steps
===================
Access-1
===================
6. Move back to Access-1 and run “show spanning-tree” command. What are the
path costs of the ports?
T11-Access-1# show spanning-tree | begin 30 Port

7. All ports in this topology should have the same cost. Write down the path costs
of all links on figure 5.1-2

8. Issue the “show spanning-tree detail” command. The output will be very long.

9. Now try now a filtered version of the “show spanning-tree detail” command in
order to find the Designated bridge on each uplink.
T11-Access-1(config)# show spanning-tree detail | begin 12 "Port 1/1/21"

===================
Access-2
===================

11. Move to Access-2 and repeat step 9.

T11-Access-2# show spanning-tree detail | begin 12 "Port 1/1/21"

12. Write down the Designated Bridge of these links on figure 5.1-2.

===================
Core-2
===================

13. Move to Core-2 and repeat step 9 for ports 1/1/43 and 1/1/44.

Core-2# show spanning-tree detail | begin 12 "Port 1/1/43"
