Hi all-
I'm a few weeks out from my 2nd R&S Lab attempt and working on my
configuration speed. Currently after reading a mock lab and drawing the
associated diagrams that are needed, I use notepad to configure as much as
possible for each host then proceed from there.
For example one of the switches:
CAT4
ho CAT4
no logg con
no ip domain-lookup
line con 0
exec-timeout 0 0
logg synch
vtp mode Server
vtp ver 2
vtp domain cisco
vtp password vtp_pwd
vlan 100
name VLAN_A
vlan 12
name VLAN_B
vlan 40
name VLAN_C
vlan 567
name VLAN_D
vlan 300
name VLAN_E
vlan 200
name VLAN_F
#check for VLANS -- show vlan
int fa0/4
desc to R4 fa0/1
switchport access vlan 40
no shut
int range fa0/19 - 24
shut
int range fa0/19 - 20
desc to CAT1
channel-group 1 mode on
switch trunk encap dot1q
switch mode trunk
int range fa0/21 - 22
desc to CAT2
channel-group 2 mode on
switch trunk encap dot1q
switch mode trunk
int range fa0/23 - 24
desc to CAT3
channel-group 3 mode on
switch trunk encap dot1q
switch mode trunk
int range gi0/1 - 2
shut
Each switch would be similar, the same with the Routers. On the routers I
would configure in notepad the ip addressing, frame-relay, passwords,
logging etc.
R4 Configuration:
ho R4
no logging con
no ip domain-lookup
line con 0
exec-timeout 0 0
logging synchr
enable password cisco
line vty 0 15
password cisco
login
int fa0/0
ip add 10.1.1.4 255.255.255.0
desc to VLAN C
no shut
int l0
ip add 200.0.0.4 255.255.255.255
int s0/0/0
desc to Frame-Relay Cloud
encap frame
no frame-relay inverse
no shut
ip add 150.50.24.4 255.255.255.0
frame-relay map ip 150.50.24.5 402
frame-relay map ip 150.50.24.4 402
I apply the configs for each device. After testing VLAN connectivity and
Frame-Relay, I move on to ppp authentication, multilinks etc. Then on to
IGP.
This seems to work fairly well, but I know there are probably other methods
out there. Please send any speed tips or suggestions that you have!
Thank you.
