BCMSN Lab

I figured I would share with everyone the BCMSN lab I have given to my Cisco students. I’m currently wrapping up the BCMSN course (642-812) and wanted to give them some real-world practice. My students have their CCNA certifications and are now trying to tackle the CCNP. They actually just completed the first part of the lab and are currently verifying functionality. From what I saw Wednesday, it looks like I need to come up with some harder labs! Take a look for yourself.

My guys said they would be happy to share their precious configs, so I will be making another post soon once they get all the bugs worked out. Maybe I can get them to provide some explanations too!

VLAN Configuration (10 points)

• *Create on VTP server and allow propagating to clients
• Vlans 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100

• 400=mgmt
• 500=voip
• 200=ServerFarm
• 200=ServerFarm (private vlan primary) *Private-vlans can only be configured on 3560
• 201=sec (community) *should only exist on 3560

• Vlans that should exist on 2950 B & 3560 (not all will be assigned ports)
• 400=mgmt
• 500=voip
• 300=NetworkMon

Port aggregation (10 points)

• Configure link between 3560 and 2950A to use LACP
• Configure link between 3560 and 2950B to use PaGP
• Configure link between 3560 and 3550A/B to use neither PaGP nor LACP (channel-group mode on)

IP Addressing (10 points)

Subnet the 192.168.16.0/24 network as follows:

• Subnet evenly for at least 14 subnets with at least 14 usable hosts in each subnet
• Second usable IP address on first subnet should be assigned to 3560 FA0/1 (no switchport)
• You will need to further subnet one of the subnets (use the last subnet) for two /30 subnets (between 3560 and 3550’s)
• Assign the /30 IPs to the “channel-group” interface between switches (no switchport)
• First usable IP’s on subnets will be assigned as Default gateways (except with 3550 VLANs because of HSRP)
• Vlan 10 should be assigned second usable subnet
• Vlan 20 should be assigned third usable subnet
• Continue this pattern to vlan 100
• VLAN 100 is the mgmt, so no ports will be assigned to VLAN
• 3550A/B, 2950 C/D/E/F should each have a unique IP in this subnet (for telnet or mgmt-use)
• Assign to VLAN 100 interface
• Vlan 200 should be assigned the 12^th subnet
• Vlan 300 should be assigned the 13^th subnet
• Vlan 400 should be assigned the 14^th subnet
• VLAN 400 is the mgmt, so no ports will be assigned to VLAN
• 3560, 2950 A/B should each have a unique IP in this subnet (for telnet or mgmt-use)
• Assign to VLAN 400 interface
• Vlan 500 should be assigned the 15^th subnet

MLS configuration (10 points)

• Links between 3550’s and 3560 are layer 3 links
• Link between 2811 and 3560 is a layer 3 link
• VLAN IPs on 3550A should be the second usable IP for each VLAN subnet (first usable will be the HSRP address)
• Remember to go into “interface vlan” for each vlan on the switch
• VLAN IPs on 3550B should be the third usable IP for each VLAN subnet (first usable will be the HSRP address)
• Remember to go into “interface vlan” for each vlan on the switch
• VLAN IPs on 3560 should be the first usable IP for each VLAN subnet

HSRP (10 points)

• “Standby” IP’s should be first usable IP in each subnet
• 3550A should be primary for VLANs starting with Odd number
• 3550A should be secondary for VLANs starting with even number
• 3550B should be primary for VLANs starting with Even number
• 3550B should be secondary for VLANs starting with odd number
• Enable preemption

Routing (10 points)

• Default route on 3560 should point to first subnet’s first usable IP (.1)
