Task 1

Lab Objective:

The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to configure standard VLANs 1–1001 on Cisco Catalyst IOS Switches. In addition, you are also required to familiarize yourself with the commands available in Cisco IOS to validate and check your configurations.

Lab Purpose:

VLAN configuration is a fundamental skill. VLANs allow you to segment your network into multiple, smaller broadcast domains. As a Cisco engineer, as well as in the Cisco CCNA exam, you will be expected to know how to configure VLANs on Cisco switches.

Lab Topoogy:

Task 1.

In preparation for VLAN configuration, configure a hostname on Sw1 as well as the VLANs depicted in the topology.

Task 2.

Configure ports FastEthernet0/5 to FastEthernet0/8 as access ports and assign them to the VLANs specified.

Task 3.

Verify your VLAN configuration using relevant show commands in Cisco IOS.
