TASK1: Disable LAN Connections to the Core

FROM THE POD SWITCH:
1. Shut down the uplink ports (Fa0/11 & Fa0/12)
as they are not used in this lab.
2. Verify that the uplink ports are
administratively down.
3. Change the IP address on the Pod Switch
VLAN 1 interface using the provided table.
4. Change the Pod Switch default gateway to
point to the Pod Router.
5. From the Pod Switch, assign the Pod Routers
port to VLAN 1.
6. What command can you use to verify that
the Pod Routers port is now in VLAN 1?
____________________________________________
8. Connect to the Pod Router and configure
interface Fa0/0 using the provided IP address
chart.
9. Verify the Pod Switch and Router can
communicate with each other by using ping.

TASK2: Enable the Serial / WAN Connection to

the Core
FROM THE POD ROUTER:
1. Remove any default or static routes from the
router by using the no ip route 0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0 10.#.#.3 command
2. Configure interface S0/0 with an IP Address
from the provided table.
3. Enable the interface by using the no
shutdown command.
4. Ping the Core router (10.140.#.1). The ping
should work. Why?
____________________________________________
5. Ping the TFTP Server (10.1.1.1). The ping
should not work. Why?
____________________________________________
6. What command can you use to show the
routing table?
____________________________________________

TASK3: Enable OSPF for Dynamic Routing

TASK4: Enable OSPF Plaintext Authentication

FROM THE POD ROUTER:

1. Configure the loopback 0 interface using the
provided table.
interface loopback 0
ip address #.#.#.# 255.255.255.255

FROM THE POD ROUTER:

1. Assign a password of san-fran to be used
for OSPF plaintext password authentication
on Serial0/0.
ip ospf authentication-key password

2. Configure OSPF using process id 100

router ospf 100

2. Configure plaintext password authentication

on Serial0/0.
ip ospf authentication

3. Configure network statement for the LAN,

WAN and Loopback interfaces using the
following command:
network #.#.#.# 0.0.0.# area 0
4. Verify that the LAN, WAN and Loopback
interface have been enabled for OSPF by
using the show ip ospf interface brief
command.

3. What command should be used to verify that

the Pod Router has established a neighbor
adjacency with the Core router.
____________________________________________
4. What command can be used to verify that
routes are being learned from the core
router? How do you know the routes are
learned via OSPF?
____________________________________________
5. Ping the TFTP server. The ping should be
successful.
