Config Register is 0x4a6f6469

Now I will write about basic router configuration (BRC).
BRC is the first thing ‘must-do’ when working with router.
Points of BRC includes:

1. setting up hostname
2. enable password (plain text)
3. service password-encryption (make it encrypted)
4. enable secret (password with MD5, higher priority than enable password)
5. setting up banner
6. setting up telnet
7. turning on all interfaces connected to other router or network devices (very usefull for CDP)

 
console:

router> enable

router# conf t

router(config)# hostname router-1

router-1(config)# enable password pass

router-1(config)# service password-encryption

router-1(config)# enable secret passwd

router-1(config)# banner motd #

                           —!!! Restricted Shell !!!— #

router-1(config)# line vty 0 4

router-1(config-line)# password cisco

router-1(config-line)# login

router-1(config-line)# exit

router-1(config)# int s0/0

router-1(config-if)# no shut

router-1(config-if)# exit

router-1(config)# int s0/1

router-1(config-if)# no shut

router-1(config-if)# exit

router-1(config)# int e0/1

router-1(config-if)# no shut

router-1(config-if)# exit

router-1(config)# int fa0/1

router-1(config-if)# no shut

router-1(config-if)# exit

router-1(config)#
 

As mention before, Trunk is a physical connection containing logical connection to connected VLANs. How many logical connection can be made inside the Trunk is depend on how many VLAN used.

In this topic, I will talk about how to setup VLAN-Trunking. This topology made possible for different VLANs connected each other. Router is needed, because communication between VLANs are based on network layer using IP address. We can say that router act as a gateway for each VLANs.

That is the main different with previous topology, VLAN-Switch and VLAN-Switches, those are based on data link layer using MAC Address

scenario:

Switch-A has VLAN 10 on port e0/1, and VLAN 20 on port e0/2. Fa0/27 (fast ethernet port) is connected to access point. Fa0/26 made a trunk connection to Fa0/26 switch-B.

Switch-B has VLAN 10 on port e0/1, and VLAN 20 on port e0/2. Fa0/27 made a trunk connection to Fa0/0 on router.

console:

switch-A:

switch> enable

switch# conf t

switch(config)# hostname switch-A

switch-A(config)# enable password level 15 cisco

switch-A(config)# ip address 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.0

switch-A(config)# vlan 10 name Group-A

switch-A(config)# vlan 20 name Group-B

switch-A(config)# int fa0/26

switch-A(config-if)# trunk on

switch-A(config-if)# exit

switch-A(config)# int e0/1

switch-A(config-if)# vlan-membership static 10

switch-A(config-if)# exit

switch-A(config)# int e0/2

switch-A(config-if)# vlan-membership static 20

switch-B:

switch> enable

switch# conf t

switch(config)# hostname switch-B

switch-B(config)# enable password level 15 cisco

switch-B(config)# ip address 192.168.1.12 255.255.255.0

switch-B(config)# vlan 10 name Group-A

switch-B(config)# vlan 20 name Group-B

switch-B(config)# int fa0/26

switch-B(config-if)# trunk on

switch-B(config-if)# exit

switch-B(config)# int fa0/27

switch-B(config-if)# trunk on

switch-B(config-if)# exit

switch-B(config)# int e0/1

switch-B(config-if)# vlan-membership static 10

switch-B(config-if)# exit

switch-B(config)# int e0/2

switch-B(config-if)# vlan-membership static 20
