Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab is to configure and verify IPv4 addressing on switches with VLANs, ensuring connectivity between computers within the same VLAN across multiple switches. By building this lab network you will be able to learn the basic commands needed to configure a switch with the default VLAN.

Equipment Required:
– 2x Cisco Switches (2960)
– 2x PCs with ethernet interface
– Console Cable
– Ethernet Cable
– Computer with Terminal emulation software e.g. PuTTY
IPv4 Address Table:
Switch 1 – VLAN1 – 192.168.0.100 – 255.255.255.0
Switch 2 – VLAN1 – 192.168.0.200 – 255.255.255.0
————–
Host 1 – Fa0 – 192.168.0.1 – 255.255.255.0
Host 2 – Fa0 – 192.168.0.2 – 255.255.255.0
Lab Task:
1- Connect the switches and computers as per the topology diagram.
2- Configure the appropriate hostname on each device as per topology.
3- Configure VLANs on both switches:
a. Create VLAN 10 on Switch 1 and Switch 2.
b. Assign VLAN names (e.g., VLAN10).
c. Configure VLAN interfaces with IP addresses as per IPv4 address table above.
4- Configure switch ports:
a. Assign ports on Switch 1 to VLAN 10.
b. Assign ports on Switch 2 to VLAN 10.
5- Verify that each switchport is in the appropriate VLAN
6- Configure IP addresses on Host1&2:
a. Configure Host 1 with IP address 192.168.0.1/24 and default gateway 192.168.0.100.
b. Configure Host 2 with IP address 192.168.0.2/24 and default gateway 192.168.0.200.
7- Verify connectivity:
a. Test connectivity between PC 1 and PC 2 using the ping command.
b. Ensure successful ping replies between the two computers.
8- Save Configuration
