Procedures for starting the simulation: IERG4090 Lab00 P.7 1) Clicking the Start/Resume all devices button on the top menu to start up all devices: 2) All devices are turned on. The link color on the devices will change from RED to GREEN when they are started.
Procedure to configure network devices: IERG4090 Lab00 P.8 1) To configure devices, click the Console connect to all devices button on the top menu: - A terminal will be popped up showing all devices tab on the left. 2) To select the console of SW2, click the SW2 tab on the left. The title will be changed to the current terminal SW2.
3) To configure SW1, click the SW1 tab on the left of the terminal. IERG4090 Lab00 P.9 - The terminal screen should show the privilege exec mode of SW1. It is indicated by the # sign in the prompt: - In privilege exec mode, you are the super-user and you have the privilege to configure everything in the device. 4) To switch to user exec mode, use the command disable. disable SW1> - The prompt will change from # to >. It is the mode that general users can obtain limited information about the device. 5) To switch to privilege exec mode, use the command enable SW1>enable 6) To get the information of all interfaces in SW1: show interface status Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type Et0/0 connected 1 auto auto unknown Et0/1 connected 1 auto auto unknown Et0/2 connected trunk auto auto unknown Et0/3 connected trunk auto auto unknown - The Status shows connected. It means that they are in enabled state. - The Vlan shows 1 for Et0/0. It is an access port. - The Vlan shows trunk for Et0/2 and Et0/3. They are negotiated as trunk port with neighbor switches. 7) To configure the device, in the privileged exec mode, change to the global configuration mode by: configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. SW1(config)# 8) To configure an interface, say, Ethenet0/1 (Nothing is connected to this interface), change to the console into interface configuration mode by: SW1(config)#interface e0/1 9) To shutdown an interface, use shutdown command under the interface configuration mode : SW1(config-if)#shutdown SW1(config-if)# *Jan 10 01:26:52.042: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Ethernet0/1, changed state to administratively down *Jan 10 01:26:53.042: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Ethernet0/1, changed state to down - Note: In Cisco IOS, use the prefix no to reverse a command. E.g. Use no shutdown to bring up an interface.
10) After configuration, return to the privilege exec mode by: IERG4090 Lab00 P.10 SW1(config-if)#end *Dec 12 10:58:49.127: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console Summary of walking around different configuration mode: User EXEC mode: To Privilege EXEC mode: To Global Configuration Mode: SW1> SW1>enable configure terminal SW1(config)# To Interface Configuration Mode: SW1(config)#interface e0/0 SW1(config-if)# Return to Global Configuration Mode: Return to Privilege EXEC mode: Return to User EXEC mode: 11) Check the interface status by: show interface status SW1(config-if)#exit SW1(config)# SW1(config)#exit disable SW1> Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type Et0/0 connected 1 auto auto unknown Et0/1 disabled 1 auto auto unknown Et0/2 connected trunk auto auto unknown Et0/3 connected trunk auto auto unknown - The status of Ethernet0/1 becomes disabled now. 12) According to the network diagram, the switch ports SW1:e0/2 and SW1:e0/3 are connected to SW2 and SW3 respectively. Enable the interfaces simultaneously by: SW1(config)#interface range e0/2-3 - By default, the operation mode of switch ports are negotiated dynamically. To change the mode of switch port into static access mode (carries only a single vlan): SW1(config-if-range)#switchport mode access SW1(config-if-range)#end 13) Verify the interface status again: show interfaces status Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type Et0/0 connected 1 auto auto unknown Et0/1 disabled 1 auto auto unknown Et0/2 connected 1 auto auto unknown Et0/3 connected 1 auto auto unknown
IERG4090 Lab00 P.11 14) Similarly, enable the interfaces e0/0, e0/2 and e0/3 on SW2 and SW3. Command shortcut is used in the configuration as shown below: SW2: SW2# SW2#conf?

Compressed configuration from 1225 bytes to 824 bytes[ok] - Similarly, save the configuration in SW2 and SW3. 16) For further information about Cisco IOS Basics, please google with keyword introduction to Cisco IOS CLI. Procedures for Docker container (labvpc) configurations: - In the past, end devices (e.g. hosts) are simulated by routers. The purpose is to use ping and traceroute for verification of network accessibility. - With host running in docker, it can replace routers to act as end devices. - Docker provides the ability to run an application in a loosely isolated environment called a container. The isolation and security allow the system to run many containers simultaneously. - The docker container (labvpc) can execute a few network commands like ping and traceroute. 1) Configure IP address of labvpc-1, labvpc-2 and labvpc-3: labvpc-1 10.0.0.1/24 labvpc-2 10.0.0.2/24 labvpc-3 10.0.0.3/24 Modify the network configuration of labvpc as shown below: Move the mouse over the device, left click and select Configure Click Edit to modify the network configuration
IERG4090 Lab00 P.13 The network configuration window is shown Modify the network setting as shown and click Save Click OK to make the changes. Note: The labvpc will be restarted. 2) Verify the configured IP address by: Select Console to access the terminal.

Verification of network connectivity: 1) At labvpc-1, perform PING test to labvpc-2 and labvpc-3: bash-4.3# ping 10.0.0.2 PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.152 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.403 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.494 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.412 ms ^C --- 10.0.0.2 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.403/0.615/1.152 ms bash-4.3# ping 10.0.0.3 PING 10.0.0.3 (10.0.0.3): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.0.0.3: seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.676 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.3: seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.475 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.3: seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.510 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.3: seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.497 ms ^C --- 10.0.0.3 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.475/0.789/1.676 ms bash-4.3# Discovering directly connected neighbors of a device: - To show which devices are connected, use the following command: show cdp neighbors Capability Codes: R - Router, T - Trans Bridge, B - Source Route Bridge S - Switch, H - Host, I - IGMP, r - Repeater, P - Phone, D - Remote, C - CVTA, M - Two-port Mac Relay Device ID Local Intrfce Holdtme Capability Platform Port ID SW2 Eth 0/2 156 R S I Linux Uni Eth 0/3 SW3 Eth 0/3 156 R S I Linux Uni Eth 0/3 - The Device ID column shows the neighbor device being discovered. - The Port ID column shows the interface of the neighbor device being discovered. - The Local Intrfce column shows the interface of the device discovering the neighbor.
Procedures for packet capture IERG4090 Lab00 P.15 1) Select the port to capture packet - Move the mouse over the link (between SW1 and SW2). - The link turns red. - Right click on the red link. A sub-menu comes out. - Select Start capture - A Packet capture windows pops up showing the port to be captured. - Select SW2:e0/3 and click OK button - Wireshark is started automatically and packets are captured in real time. - In the Wireshark, some spanning tree frames are captured which are shown in the Packet List Pane. - To view the details information of a frame, click the small triangle in the Packet Details Pane.
2) On labvpc-2, perform PING to labvpc-3: IERG4090 Lab00 P.16 bash-4.3# ping 10.0.0.3 PING 10.0.0.3 (10.0.0.3): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.0.0.3: seq=0 ttl=64 time=2.032 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.3: seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.713 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.3: seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.675 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.3: seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.675 ms - Some ICMP frames are captured and appeared on the Wireshark screen in real time. 3) To stop the capture - On GNS3, move the mouse over the link and the link turns to red. - Right click on the link and select Stop capture. This stops packet capture in the Wireshark. - Wireshark has stopped the packet capture. 4) On the Wireshark, move the scroll bar on the right until ICMP frames are displayed.
- According to the Wireshark output: o ARP request is sent by labvpc-2 (10.0.0.2). o ARP response is sent by labvpc-3 (10.0.0.3) with MAC Address 00:50:79:66:68:03 o Five pairs of Echo request and Echo reply follows. IERG4090 Lab00 P.17 4) Packet filter on Wireshark - To only display particular type of packets on Wireshark, say, ICMP packet - On the Filter textbox, type in icmp and then click Apply button - The Wireshark only shows ICMP packets on screen. Check list when a Lab is completed? 1) Have you saved the configurations of all devices? 2) Have you stop all devices and saved the project? 3) Have you restart GNS3, load the project and start all devices for verifications? --- End of Lab--- Note on lab submission: - After finish the lab, save the configurations in all devices. Then save the projects in GNS3. - Exit the GNS3 and then restart the lab again. Make sure that your setup can be recovered. If not, you have to do the lab again until you can save your setup properly. If the tutor cannot recover your lab, it will be scored with ZERO mark even you have submitted lab report properly. - In the command prompt, go to /home/gns3/gns3/projects/ierg4090. Archive your lab directory by the command sudo tar cfz XXX.tar.gz XXX where XXX is the folder name of your lab. - Retrieve the archive file via SCP or Copy and Paste to your desktop computer. - ZIP the lab report and the lab archive into a single file with filename SID_LabXX.zip where SID is your student ID and XX is the lab number. - Submit it to the tutor via elearning system.
