Hi peeps. Ok, this is probably a big ask as there are a lot of things going on but I really want to try and understand everything and the nature of some of the questions make it difficult to get what I want from google.
We were given this on friday - its not mandatory, will not be marked and is supposed to be for 'fun'
Task for the weekend
Not obligatory, personal satisfaction only !
See how many of the tasks you can complete.
· Create vlan 900 and use as the native vlan
· Use VTP to propagate VLAN information amongst the switches, DLS2 should be the VTP server.
· Give all switches SVI’s for test purposes for all VLAN’s
· Bind the links between the access layer and distribution layer into Etherchannels. Bind the links between the 2 distribution layer switches into layer 3 Etherchannel.
· Enable a FHRP – HSRP on the DLS switches on a per vlan basis
· Configure the fa0/5 ports between DLS1/R1 and DLS2/R1 as layer 3 links.
· On ALS1 configure Fa0/18 as an access port in vlan 10 and a voice port in vlan 100 and to trust cisco ip phones for QoS.
· Enable QoS globally – not auto QoS
· Put all unused switch ports on ALS1 in a safe state and assign to the black hole vlan 200.
create vlan 100 and use as the voice vlan.
and here is the accompanying diagram.
the first question. Im a little bit confused. usually we would be told to create vlan xx on a specific device or I would expect to use syntax like
int fa 0/1
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan xx
so I'm kind of stuck on this and feel a bit stupid
do I do this on each switch ?
2/ I know how to use VTP to set server, client, domain, password so Im ok with this
3/ I can give switches SVI's so I think I am good with this too
4/ I know how to create an etherchannel group but Im confused by the inclusion of 'layer 3 etherchannel'
hopefully im overthinking and its just because its between two multilayer switches ?
5/ I can do HSRP so I think I can work out 'on a per vlan basis'
6/ configure the ports as layer 3 links - so, this is teacher speak for assigning the interfaces an ip ?
7/ not sure about 'real Qos' (as opposed to auto QoS)
8/ so, shutdown all unused ports using int-range and then assign them to vlan 200 and then ..?? I'm not sure what else to do to black hole a vlan
9/ I can create a vlan and assign a link as 'voice' but sure how to implement 'in general'.
thank you everyone who pitches in, am trying to sort through it via youtube etc.
