Task 1: Analyze the Test Plan
Analyze the test plan shown above and answer the following questions:
a. What are the four main sections of the test plan?
1) Introduction,
2) Equipment,
3) Design / Topology Diagram,
4) Test Descriptions and related testing information. (Test procedure, success criteria, and conclusions subsections repeat for each test within the test plan.)
b.How many tests are defined within the test plan in this lab? ____ 2
c.In which testing subsection would you find the types of commands or analysis tools used to determine
if the test was successful? ____ Procedures
d. In which main test plan section would you find a description the devices and cabling used to build the
prototype for the test plan? _____ Equipment
e. In which main testing section would an overall description of the tests to be performed and the
reasons why they are being specified in the test plan? ______ Introduction
Task 2: Configure the PCs and switch VLANs and perform Test 1
Step 1: Connect devices and configure PC IP addresses
Connect the switch to the router as shown in the Test Plan topology diagram.
Connect the PC1 and PC2 hosts to the switch using the ports indicated in the Test Plan topology table.
Using the IP address information from the Test Plan table, configure PC1 and PC2.
Step 2: Prepare the switch for configuration
Connect a PC with a console cable to the switch to perform configurations using a terminal emulation
program. Confirm that the switch is ready for lab configuration by ensuring that all existing VLAN and general configurations are removed. Remove the switch startup configuration file from NVRAM.
Switch#erase startup-config
Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm]
Press Enter to confirm. The response should be:
Erase of nvram: complete
If the switch has previously been configured with VLANs, it will necessary to delete the VLAN
database information file. From the privileged EXEC mode, issue the following commands:
Switch#delete vlan.dat
Delete filename [vlan.dat]?[Enter]
Delete flash:/vlan.dat? [confirm] [Enter]
If there was no VLAN file, this message is displayed.
%Error deleting flash:/vlan.dat (No such file or directory)
It is recommended that the delete command not be issued as: delete flash:vlan.dat.
Accidentally omitting vlan.dat from this command could lead to the complete IOS being deleted
from flash memory. Issuing the reload command to restart the switch may not always clear the previous VLAN configuration; for that reason, the power cycle (hardware restart) step is recommended.
