Interface VLAN Configuration on multilayer Switch (SIM)

Lab Tasks:

You need to configure multilayer Switch according to topology diagram and such that both hosts i.e. Host-A and Host-B are able to successfully ping the Internet server “Server_S1”.

You are not allowed to add/delete VLANs, changes VLAN port assignments or create trunk links. Also you can’t use a static or default routing. All routes must be learned via EIGRP 300 routing protocol. RouterC is correctly configured and no trunking has been configured on RouterC.
Routed interfaces should use the lowest host on a subnet when possible. The following subnets are available to implement this solution:
– 10.10.10.0/24 
– 192.168.100.32/27 
– 192.168.100.64/27
Hosts H1 and H2 are configured with the correct IP address and default gateway. The enable password for Multi-Switch is Cisco. Routing must only be enabled for the specific subnets shown in the diagram.

Solution:

Step to perform:

-Find gateways of PCs with “ipconfig” command in Exam simulator, these gateways are use to configured as the virtual interface on multilayer switch for given VLANs and in our case we have the following:

Host1:
IP Address: 192.168.100.36

Default gateway: 192.168.100.35

Host2:
IP Address: 192.168.100.66

Default gateway: 192.168.100.65

-Note down the EIGRP AS number and VLANs information

You can find it from topology diagram and it is EIGRP 300.

VLAN 22 and 33 are created on multilayer switch and interfaces (connected to hosts) were configured as access ports so we don’t need to configure them in this sim, you also use the “show vlan” command for checking VLANs .

-Configure the Virtual interfaces on switch

According to SIM requirement we are not allow to use trunking therefore we will configure the Multi-Switch as a Layer 3 switch with SVIs for interVLAN routing and will configure these VLAN interfaces with gateways of PCs for respective VLANs.

Multi-Switch# configure terminal
Multi-Switch(config)# int f0/0
Multi-Switch(config-if)#no switchport (without using this command, the simulator does not let you assign IP address on f0/0 interface.)
Multi-Switch(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0 (Router has IP address of 10.10.10.1 therefore we have to assign this interface with same IP-Range) 

Multi-Switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Multi-Switch(config-if)# exit
Multi-Switch(config)# int vlan 22
Multi-Switch(config-if)# ip address 192.168.100.35 255.255.255.224
Multi-Switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Multi-Switch(config-if)# int vlan 33
Multi-Switch(config-if)# ip address 192.168.100.65 255.255.255.224
Multi-Switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Multi-Switch(config-if)#exit

  

-Run the routing protocol on Multi layered switch

Multi-Switch(config)# ip routing (Notice: MLS will not work without this command)
Multi-Switch(config)# router eigrp 300
Multi-Switch(config-router)# network 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255
Multi-Switch(config-router)# network 192.168.100.32 0.0.0.31
Multi-Switch(config-router)# network 192.168.100.64 0.0.0.31
