TOPOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

This task is based on setting up devices on packet tracer and ensuring there is communication between them

SETTING UP SWITCH, ROUTER AND PCS

REQUIREMENTS

1. TWO PCS
2. A SWITCH 2960
3. A ROUTER 2911

STEP 1 :Building the Topology

Build the topology in Real-time mode in acket tracer Choose the required devices and set them as shown below

Since the devices are set, i choose to use straight-through cabling since all the devices were different unlike cross-over cabling

NB Routers and pcs used pin 1&2 for transmission and 3&6 as receiving pins.On the other hand switch uses the vice versa of it 3&6 transmitting 1&2 receiving.

STEP 2:Assigning ip address to the devices statically as displayed in the topology table below

Both ipv4 and ipv6 are set as shown below on PC A

Do the same to PC B

PING THE TWO DEVICES TO CHECK COMMUNICATION

The ping was not succesfull all packets sent were lost

Step 3: Configure the router.

a. Console into the router and enable privileged EXEC mode using Router> enablecommand

b. Enter configuration mode. Router# config terminal

c. Assign a device name to the router. Router(config)# hostname R1

d. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered commands as though they were host names. R1(config)# no ip domain lookup

e. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password. R1(config)# enable secret class

f. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login.

R1(config)# `line console 0`
R1(config-line)# `password cisco`
R1(config-line)# `login`

g. Assign cisco as the VTY password and enable login.

R1(config)# `line vty 0 4`
R1(config-line)# `password cisco`
R1(config-line)# `login`

h. Encrypt the plaintext passwords. R1(config)# service password-encryption

i. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is prohibited. R1(config)# banner motd $ Authorized Users Only! $

j. Configure and activate both interfaces on the router.

R1(config)# `interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0`
R1(config-if)# `ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0`
R1(config-if)# `ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad::1/64`
R1(config-if)# `ipv6 address FE80::1 link-local`
R1(config-if)# `no shutdown`
R1(config-if)#  `exit`
R1(config)# `interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1`
R1(config-if)# `ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0`
R1(config-if)# `ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:1::1/64`
R1(config-if)# `ipv6 address fe80::1 link-local`
R1(config-if)#  `no shutdown`
R1(config-if)#  `exit`

k. Configure an interface description for each interface indicating which device is connected to it

R1(config)#  ` interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1`
R1(config-if)# `description Connected to F0/5 on S1`
R1(config-if)# `exit`
R1(config)# `interface g0/0/0`
R1(config-if)# `description Connected to Host PC-B`
R1(config-if)# `exit`

l. To enable IPv6 routing, enter the command ipv6 unicast-routing. R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

m. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.

R1(config)# `exit`
R1# `copy running-config startup-config`

n. Set the clock on the router. R1# clock set 15:30:00 27 Aug 2019
