G0/1 | 192.168.2.1 | 255.255.255.252 | N/A | |
SW-1 | VLAN1 | 192.168.1.100 | 255.255.255.0 | |
AP-1 | Internet | 192.168.2.2 | 255.255.255.252 | 192.168.2.1 |
RouterIP | 192.168.0.1 | 255.255.255.0 | N/A | |
PC 1 | NIC | 192.168.1.5 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.1.1 |
NetAdmin | NIC | 192.168.0.2 | 255.255.255.0 | N/A |
Instructions
Step 1: Configure basic settings on the RTR-1 router.
In order to be scored as correct, the values that you configure must match the exact values that are provided unless otherwise noted. Configure the following:
- The router name: RTR-1
- The enable secret (privileged EXEC mode) password: ef56GH
- An MOTD banner. You can use any text for this.
- The console line should require a password for all logins. Use a password of ab12CD
- The VTY lines should require a password for remote access. Use a password of cd34EF
- All passwords should automatically be encrypted.
Answers: (The passwords (red font) may be different.)
Use console cable to connect PC 1 and RTR-1 (detail)
Router(config)#hostname RTR-1 RTR-1(config)#enable secret ef56GH RTR-1(config)#banner motd #Unauthorized access to this device is prohibited!# RTR-1(config)#line console 0 RTR-1(config-line)#password ab12CD RTR-1(config-line)#login RTR-1(config-line)#line vty 0 15 RTR-1(config-line)#password cd34EF RTR-1(config-line)#login RTR-1(config-line)#service password-encryption
Step 2: Configure the LAN interfaces of the RTR-1 router.
Configure the interfaces as follows:
- Activate both LAN interfaces of RTR-1.
- Address both LAN interfaces using the information in the addressing table.
Answers:
RTR-1(config-if)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/0 RTR-1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 RTR-1(config-if)#no shutdown RTR-1(config-if)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/1 RTR-1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.252 RTR-1(config-if)#no shutdown
Step 3: Configure remote management on the SW-1 switch.
Configure the switch SVI by using the default management interface as follows:
- Activate the interface.
- Address the interface according to the values shown in the addressing table.
- Determine the address to use as the switch default gateway from the addressing table. Configure the switch default gateway. The switch should be reachable from other networks.
Answers:
Switch(config)#interface vlan 1 Switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0 Switch(config-if)#no shutdown Switch(config-if)#exit Switch(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.1
Step 4: Configure the SW-1 switch to use SSH for remote connections.
Remote connections to the switch should use SSH to connect. All configured values must match the values provided below exactly. Configure SSH by using the following:
- Domain name: company
- Switch name: SW-1
- Crypto key modulus: 1024
- Configure local login on the VTY lines
- Incoming connections should use the SSH protocol.
- Create a user named admin
- The user should be required to use a password of xy89uv
Note: In order to access privileged EXEC mode remotely from a SSH client, a privileged EXEC mode password must be set. This is not a requirement for this assessment.
Answers:
Switch(config)#ip domain-name company Switch(config)#hostname SW-1 SW-1(config)#crypto key generate rsa How many bits in the modulus [512]: 1024 % Generating 1024 bit RSA keys, keys will be non-exportable...[OK] SW-1(config)#line vty 0 15 SW-1(config-line)#transport input ssh SW-1(config-line)#login local SW-1(config-line)#exit SW-1(config)#username admin password xy89uv
Step 5: Configure the AP-1 wireless network device.
Configure the wireless network device with addresses, DHCP settings, and wireless network settings. Be certain to save your settings before moving between screens in the device configuration GUI.
1. Establish a connection with the AP-1 device from host NetAdmin.
- a. Connect an Ethernet cable from NetAdmin to any LAN port on the AP-1 device. Do not delete this connection.
- b. Use the addressing table to provide an IP address and mask to NetAdmin.
- c. Use the browser on NetAdmin to connect to the router IP address of the wireless device. Use admin as both the user name and password.
Note: You may need to wait until the link lights on both ends of the Ethernet cable are green before you can connect to the AP-1 wireless network device from host NetAdmin.
2. Configure the Internet interface of the device according to the values in the addressing table.
3. Configure DHCP as follows:
- a. Configure the router IP address and mask with the values shown in the addressing table. Save this setting to update the pool of addresses that will be used by DHCP.
- b. Set the first address to be used to 192.168.0.10.
- c. DHCP should provide 10 IP addresses for hosts on the LAN.
4. Configure wireless settings as follows:
- a. Use the network name of XYZwLAN.
- b. Be sure that the SSID can be seen by hosts that are attempting to connect to the wireless LAN.
- c. Secure the wireless LAN with WPA2 Personal.
- d. Use AES for encryption.
- e. The passphrase should be abcd1234.
Step 6: Configure the PC 1 and LTP-1 hosts.
Configure the wired and wireless hosts as follows.
1. Configure the PC 1 host with the addressing values shown in the addressing table.
2. Configure the LTP-1 host to connect to the wireless network using the values that you configured in Step 5.
Enter abcd1234 and click "Connect"
3. The LTP-1 host will receive its network addressing information over DHCP.
Verify connectivity. If you have configured everything correctly the PC 1 and LTP-1 hosts should be able to connect to the Internet. In addition, the SW-1 switch should be reachable by the PC 1 and LTP-1 hosts and the Internet server.
