Question WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO Open the packet Tracer file corresponding to… WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO Open the packet Tracer file corresponding to this assignment. A pre-configured network comes up. Do the following: 1. Replace the old concentrators by switches (Model 2950T) and reconnect all the PCs with the switch located on their respective floor. The switches should be named to reflect their location in the building. Computers are identified by their department and the floor number (ex. Marketing3). 2. Connect the three switches in a way that provides redundancy in case a link goes down. Use the Gigabit links. 3. Create separate VLANs for the three departments on all the switches. Use the following numbers: Marketing = 10 Sales = 20, Administration = 30 4. Assign each of the switch access ports to the appropriate VLANs. 5. Configure trunking on the backbone links, allow only the necessary VLANS (10, 20, and 30, if applicable). Additionally allow VLANs 1, for backward compatibility. WHAT YOU MUST VERIFY 1. Using the simulator, ensure that all computers have connectivity with computers in their own department and not with the computers in other units. 2. Turn off one active backbone interface and verify that connectivity is repaired using the other link. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS 1. Once your configuration is finished, double click on one of the switches and click on the Command Line Interface (CLI) tab. At the prompt, enter the command “enable” to go into privileged command mode. Enter the command “show mac-address-table”. This command displays a table. What is its purpose? Describe the various fields of the table. 2. When you turned off the active port on the switch, explain what happened. What is the advantage of this protocol and what is problem with it? 3. Explain in your own words the benefits of using a trunk link. Engineering & Technology Computer Science CCCS 431 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
