 Clear an existing configuration on a switch.


 Verify the default switch configuration.
 Create a basic switch configuration.
 Manage the MAC address table.
 Configure port security.

Introduction

In this activity, you will examine and configure a standalone LAN switch. Although a switch performs basic
functions in its default out-of-the-box condition, there are a number of parameters that a network
administrator should modify to ensure a secure and optimized LAN. This activity introduces you to the
basics of switch configuration.

Task 3: Create a Basic Switch Configuration

Step 1. Assign a name to the switch.

Enter global configuration mode. Configuration mode allows you to manage the switch. Enter the
configuration commands, one on each line. Notice that the command line prompt changes to reflect the
current prompt and switch name. In the last step of the previous task, you configured the hostname. Here's
a review of the commands used.

kuldeep#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.


kuldeep(config)#hostname kuldeep

kuldeep(config)#exit

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

kuldeep#

Step 2. Set the access passwords.

Enter config-line mode for the console. Set the login password to cisco. Also configure the vty lines 0 to
15 with the password cisco.

kuldeep#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

kuldeep(config)#line console 0

kuldeep(config-line)#password cisco

kuldeepl(config-line)#login

kuldeep(config-line)#line vty 0 15

kuldeep(config-line)#password cisco

kuldeep(config-line)#login

kuldeep(config-line)#exit

kuldeep(config)#

Why is the login command required?

Step 3. Set the command mode passwords.

Set the enable secret password to class.

S1(config)#enable secret class


Step 4. Configure the Layer 3 address of the switch.

Set the IP address of the switch to 172.17.99.11 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 on the internal virtual
interface VLAN 99. The VLAN must first be created on the switch before the address can be assigned.

kuldeep(config)#vlan 99

kuldeep(config-vlan)#exit

kuldeep(config)#interface vlan99

kuldeep(config-if)#

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Vlan99, changed state to up

kuldeep(config-if)#ip address 172.17.99.11 255.255.255.0

kuldeep(config-if)#no shutdown

kuldeepl(config-if)#exit

kuldeep(config)#

Step 5. Assign ports to the switch VLAN.

Assign Fastethernet 0/1, 0/8, and 0/18 to ports to VLAN 99.

kuldeep(config)#interface fa0/1

kuldeep(config-if)#switchport access vlan 99

kuldeep(config-if)#exit

kuldeep(config)#interface fa0/8

kuldeep(config-if)#switchport access vlan 99

kuldeep(config-if)#exit

kuldeep(config)#interface fa0/18

kuldeep(config-if)#switchport access vlan 99

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan99, changed state to up

kuldeep(config-if)#exit

kuldeep(config)#
Step 6. Set the switch default gateway.

S1 is a layer 2 switch, so it makes forwarding decisions based on the Layer 2 header. If multiple networks
are connected to a switch, you need to specify how the switch forwards the internetwork frames, because
the path must be determined at Layer three. This is done by specifying a default gateway address that
points to a router or Layer 3 switch. Although this activity does not include an external IP gateway, assume
that you will eventually connect the LAN to a router for external access. Assuming that the LAN interface on
the router is 172.17.99.1, set the default gateway for the switch.

kuldeep(config)#ip default-gateway 172.17.99.1

kuldeep(config)#exit

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

kuldeep#

Step 7. Verify the management LANs settings.

Verify the interface settings on VLAN 99 with the show interface vlan 99 command.

kuldeep#show interface vlan 99

Vlan99 is up, line protocol is up

Hardware is CPU Interface, address is 0060.47ac.1eb8 (bia 0060.47ac.1eb8)

Internet address is 172.17.99.11/24

0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

What is the bandwidth on this interface?

100000 K/bit

What is the queuing strategy?

Fifo

Step 8. Configure the IP address and default gateway for PC1.

Set the IP address of PC1 to 172.17.99.21, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Configure a default
gateway of 172.17.99.11. Click PC1 and its Desktop tab then IP configuration to input the addressing
parameters.

Step 9. Verify connectivity.

To verify the host and switch are correctly configured, ping the switch from PC1.

If the ping is not successful, troubleshoot the switch and host configuration. Note that this may take a
couple of tries for the pings to succeed.
Step 10. Configure the port speed and duplex settings for a Fast Ethernet
interface.

Configure the duplex and speed settings on Fast Ethernet 0/18. Use the end command to return to
privileged EXEC mode when finished.

kuldeep#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

kuldeep(config)#interface fastethernet 0/18

kuldeep(config-if)#speed 100

kuldeep(config-if)#duplex full

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/18, changed state to down


%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/18, changed state
to down

kuldeep(config-if)#

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan99, changed state to down

kuldeep(config-if)#end

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

Notice how the link between PC1 and S1 went down. Remove the speed 100 and duplex full commands.
Now verify the settings on the Fast Ethernet interface with the show interface fa0/18 command.

kuldeep#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

kuldeep(config)#interface fa0/18

kuldeep(config-if)#no speed 100

kuldeep(config-if)# no duplex full

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/18, changed state to up

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/18, changed state

Step 11. Save the configuration.

You have completed the basic configuration of the switch. Now back up the running configuration file to
NVRAM to ensure that the changes made will not be lost if the system is rebooted or loses power.

kuldeep#copy running-config startup-config

Destination filename [startup-config]?

Building configuration...

[OK]

kuldeep#

Step 12. Examine the startup configuration file.

To see the configuration that is stored in NVRAM, issue the show startup-config command from
privileged EXEC (enable mode).

Are all the changes that were entered recorded in the file?

YES

kuldeep#copy running-config startup-config

Destination filename [startup-config]?

Building configuration...

[OK]

kuldeep#show startup-config

Task 4: Managing the MAC Address Table

Step 1. Record the MAC addresses of the hosts.

Determine and record the Layer 2 (physical) addresses of the PC network interface cards using the
following steps:

 Click the PC.


 Select the Desktop tab.
 Click Command Prompt.
 Type the ipconfig /all command.

Step 2. Determine the MAC addresses that the switch has learned.

Display the MAC addresses using the show mac-address-table command in privileged EXEC mode. If
there are no MAC addresses, ping from PC1 to S1 then check again.

susheel#show mac-address-table dynamic

---- ----------- -------- -----
Step 3. Clear the MAC address table.

To remove the existing MAC addresses, use the clear mac-address-table dynamic command from
privileged EXEC mode.

kuldeep#clear mac-address-table dynamic

Step 4. Verify the results.

Verify that the MAC address table was cleared.

kuldeep#show mac-address-table dynamic

Step 5. Examine the MAC table again.

The table has not changed


Step 6. Set up a static MAC address.

To specify which ports a host can connect to, one option is to create a static mapping of the host MAC
address to a port.

Set up a static MAC address on Fast Ethernet interface 0/18 using the address that was recorded for PC1
in Step 1 of this task, 0002.16E8.C285.

kuldeep#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

kuldeep(config)#mac-address-table static 0002.16E8.c285 vlan 99 interface fastethernet 0/18

kuldeep(config)#end

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

Step 7. Verify the results.


Verify the MAC address table entries.

kuldeep#show mac-address-table

---- ----------- -------- -----

99 0002.16e8.c285 STATIC Fa0/18

Step 8. Remove the static MAC entry.

Enter configuration mode and remove the static MAC by putting a no in front of the command string.

kuldeep#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
kuldeep(config)#no mac-address-table static 0002.16E8.c285 vlan 99
interface fastethernet 0/18
kuldeep(config)#end
kuldeep#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

Step 9. Verify the results.

Verify that the static MAC address has been cleared with the show mac-address-table static command.

kuldeep#show mac-address-table static

Task 5: Configuring Port Security

Step 1. Configure a second host.

A second host is needed for this task. Set the IP address of PC2 to 172.17.99.22, with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 172.17.99.11. Do not connect this PC to the switch yet.

Step 2. Verify connectivity.

Verify that PC1 and the switch are still correctly configured by pinging the VLAN 99 IP address of the
switch from the host. If the pings were not successful, troubleshoot the host and switch configurations.
Step 3. Determine which MAC addresses that the switch has learned.

Display the learned MAC addresses using the show mac-address-table command in privileged EXEC
mode.

kuldeep#show mac-address-table static

Step 4. List the port security options.

Explore the options for setting port security on interface Fast Ethernet 0/18.

kuldeep#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

kuldeep(config)#interface fastethernet 0/18

kuldeep(config-if)#switchport port-security ?

mac-address Secure mac address

maximum Max secure addresses

violation Security violation mode

<cr>

Step 5. Configure port security on an access port.

Configure switch port Fast Ethernet 0/18 to accept only two devices, to learn the MAC addresses of those
devices dynamically, and to shutdown the port if a violation occurs.

kuldeep(config-if)#switchport mode access

kuldeep(config-if)#switchport port-security

kuldeep(config-if)#switchport port-security maximum 2

kuldeep(config-if)#switchport port-security mac-address sticky

kuldeep(config-if)#switchport port-security violation shutdown

kuldeep(config-if)#end

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console


Step 6. Verify the results.

Show the port security settings with the show port-security interface fa0/18 command.

kuldeep#show port-security interface fa0/18

Port Security : Enabled

Port Status : Secure-down

Are there statements listed that directly reflect the security implementation of the running configuration?

YES

Step 8. Modify the port security settings on a port.

On interface Fast Ethernet 0/18, change the port security maximum MAC address count to 1.

kuldeepl#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

kuldeep(config)#interface switchport

kuldeep(config)#interface fastethernet 0/18

kuldeep(config-if)#switchport port-security maximum 1

kuldeep(config-if)#end

Step 9. Verify the results.

Show the port security settings with the show port-security interface fa0/18 command.

Have the port security settings changed to reflect the modifications in Step 8?

Ping the VLAN 99 address of the switch from PC1 to verify connectivity and to refresh the MAC address
table.

kuldeep#show port-security interface fa0/18

Last Source Address:Vlan : 0000.0000.0000:0

Security Violation Count : 0

Step 10. Introduce a rogue host.

Disconnect the PC attached to Fast Ethernet 0/18 from the switch. Connect PC2, which has been given the
IP address 172.17.99.22 to port Fast Ethernet 0/18. Ping the VLAN 99 address 172.17.99.11 from the new
host.

What happened when you tried to ping S1?

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan99, changed state to up

Note: Convergence may take up to a minute. Switch between Simulation and Realtime mode to


accelerate convergence.
Step 11. Reactivate the port.

As long as the rogue host is attached to Fast Ethernet 0/18, no traffic can pass between the host and
switch. Reconnect PC1 to Fast Ethernet 0/18, and enter the following commands on the switch to
reactivate the port:

kuldeep#

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan99, changed state to up

kuldeep#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Kuldeep(config)#interface fastethernet 0/18

kuldeep(config-if)#no shutdown

kuldeep(config-if)#end

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

Step 12. Verify connectivity.

After convergence, PC1 should be able to again ping S1.
