Set up of Switch and router

I just got a router and switch. I am studying for the ccna. How do I initially connect to them with a pc? I have the Console cable.

As the other posters have noted, if using a Windows PC, Hyperterminal can be used to access the network device's "console".
You will need to insure Hyperterminal is using the correct comm port (the one you've connected the cable to), and insure the comm parameters match your Cisco network device's settings. Parmeters 9600/8/none/1/none will likely work (NB: these might be set if you "press" the Restore Defaults button [as also noted by Ohassairi].)

  • Branch office setup with L3 switch and router with IOS security

    Hello,
    I am in the process of putting together a small branch office network and I am in need of some design advise. The network will support about 10-15 workstations/phones, 3-4 printers, and 4-5 servers. In addition we will eventually have up to 25-30 remote users connecting to the servers via remote access VPN, and there will also be 2-3 site-to-site IPSec tunnels to reach other branches.
    I have a 2911 (security bundle) router and 3560 IP Base L3 switch to work with. I have attached a basic diagram of my topology. My initial design plan for the network was to setup separate VLANs for workstation, phone, printer, and server traffic. The 3560 would then be setup with SVIs to perform routing between VLANs. The port between the router and switch would be setup as a routed port, and static routes would be applied on the switch and router as necessary. The thought behind this was that I'd be utilizing the switch backplane for VLAN routing instead instead of doing router-on-a-stick.
    Since there is no firewall between the switch and router my plan was to setup IOS firewalling on the router. From what I am reading ZBF is my best option for this. What I was hoping for was a way to set custom policies for each VLAN, but it seems that zones are applied per interface. Since the interface between the router and switch is a routed interface, not a trunk/subinterface(s), it doesn't seem like there would be a way for me to use ZBF to control traffic on different VLANs. From what I am gathering I would have to group all of my internal network into one zone, or I would have to scrap L3 switching all together and do router-on-a-stick if I want to be able to set separate policies for each VLAN. Am I correct in my thinking here?
    I guess what I am getting at is that I really don't want to do router-on-a-stick if I have a nice switch backplane to do all of the internal routing. At the same time I obviously need some kind of firewalling done on the router, and since different VLANs have different security requirements the firewalling needs to be fairly granular.
    If I am indeed correct in the above thinking what would be the best solution for my scenario? That is, how can I setup this network so that I am utilizing the switch to do L3 routing while also leveraging the firewall capabilities of IOS security?
    Any input would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Austin

    Thanks for the input.
    1. I agree, since I have only three to four printers, they need not be in a separate VLAN. I simply was compartmentalizing VLANs by function when I initially came up with the design.
    2. Here's a little more info on the phone situation. The phones are VoIP. The IP PBX is on premise, but they are currently on a completely separate ISP/network. The goal in the future is to converge the data and voice networks and setup PBR/route maps to route voice traffic out the voice ISP and data traffic out the other ISP. This leads up to #3. 
    3. The reason a router was purchased over a firewall was that ASA's cannot handle routing and dual ISPs very well. PBR is not supported at all on an ASA, and dual ISPs can only be setup in an active/standby state. Also, an ASA Sec+ does not have near the VPN capabilities that the 2911 security does. The ASA Sec+ would support only 25 concurrent IPSec connections while the 2911 security is capable of doing an upwards of 200 IPSec connections.
    Your point about moving the SVI's to a firewall to perform filtering between VLANs makes sense, however, wouldn't this be the same thing as creating subinterfaces on a router? In both cases you are moving routing from the switch backplane to the firewall/routing device, which is what I am trying to avoid.  

  • Which Switch and Router to choose?

    I am interested in purchasing a Cisco Switch and Router, or possible a Cisco Switch Router.
    However, I am not sure of what model to go with.
    Currently, we have a network with about 200 Workstations and 30 Servers for our Corporation Infrastructure.
    Also, for our lab, we have about 50 Linux Based Servers, and 30 Solaris Based Servers, that are part of our Network. We are a Research and Development Company, and we have had issues with the Lab machines bringing down our network, as well as our corporate network adversely affecting the lab machines. What we would like to do is segment the network so that the different areas will be isolated. However, we also would like to have a lot of control over the traffic that will be able to cross from our network into the lab so that users will still be able to run their tests.
    Security is also an issue, and it would be great to have more control, and a better view of what kind of traffic is running through our network.
    Currently, we have about 8 Gigabyte Switches which are unmanaged (Linksys and NetGear). Our idea was to get a 1 or 2 Cisco Switch Routers, and then split them up into VLANS and cascade our current switches so that we can still make use of them. The other ideas was to just get a Cisco Switch and use our CheckPoint Router/Firewall to do the routing.
    Can you give me any advice as to what model of Cisco Product you would recommend?
    Is it better to go with a Switch Router, or simply get a separate Switch and Router?
    Please note that all of our Machines have 10/100/1000 NICs, so the device will need to be Gigabyte.
    Thanks you so much!

    You have two choices. Either to use a chassis based solution or to use stacable switches such as a 3750. Are all the cat 5(or 5e,6) runs coming into one centralized location ? Or are there separate wiring closets that you plan to put. If then we need to put separate switches at those locations and run fiber back to the central location which has a chassis based or stackable switch.
    If using a chassis based solution, you can get a 4506 (4507 for redundancy, with a redundant supervisor engine). Supervisor engine is nothing but the CPU of the switch. 4506 is a 6 slot modular switch with 2 power supplies for redundancy. You cannot add two Supervisor engines on a 4506 (4507 can).
    Slot 1 is always for supervisor engine, the remaining 5 slots you can fill using 48 port 10/100/1000 modules.(48 * 5 = 240). So your maximum port density is 240 ports on a 4506. (Note that there are 4507, 4510 which are similar models with more slots)
    If using 3750, you can stack upto 9 switches in a stack using stacking cables on the back side of the switch. Each switch will have 48 ports (10/100/1000) and you can stack 5 switches to get 240 ports.
    For the firewall I would recommend using a PIX 515E, (Why go for Checkpoint firewall when you can use all Cisco). For routing between the vlans, the switches that I recommended above are all Layer 3 switches. They will route between the different vlans. You can also configure ACLs to restrict traffic between multiple vlans.

  • Layer3 switch and router

    I have a network that I need to connect to the internet. All internal vlans point to a couple of layer 3 switches. On the layer 3 switch I connected a router for internet access.
    On the inside interface of the router I gave it an ip address of 10.1.0.1 - this is the ip address I want all my lan traffic to route to for internet access.
    1. Do I have to give the layer 3 switch interface port a static ip address or just connect it with a cable (the other side is the internal interface of the router 10.1.0.1)?
    2. On the layer 3 switch what command do I use to forward all lan traffic to this router, is it "ip route 0.0.0.0. 0.0.0.0 10.1.0.1?
    3. Do I use that above command on both of my layer 3 switches or just the one connected directly to the router?
    Thanks.                 

    I cant even ping the router, not sure what else to do. To make it even simpler I removed the layer 3 switch connected to the router above and now have only one layer 3 switch (10.1.0.6) and still cant ping the router. All internal hosts can communicate with each other, just need to get all the vlans routed to the internet.
    Below I pasted the show run from the layer 3 switch connected to the router and the show ip route and show ip int brief from the router.

  • DHCP config in switch and router

    Hi,
    I was wondering if we can configure dhcp in switch and routers such that the IP of device assigned with IP address would change if we assign same static IP to another device in the same network. does cisco support such kind of configuration?
    Thanks,
    Vish

    Consider this (I will not use in a production network): if you statically assign the IP add 192.168.1.1. to the PC both host will detect a uplicate ip address. After this the first host (the one using DHCP)  will not renew the lease, instead it send a:
    DHCPDECLINE - Client to server indicating network address is already
    in use.
    DHCP server will  offer a new IP address and put the old one in the conflict database.
    If you set a very short lease in some way you have the desired behavior but, again, it's nothing I wolud like to use ina production network

  • Switch and Router Redundant Network

    I am trying to learn as much as possible about networking and cisco. I trying to build the following network to practice redundancy. I set up HSRP on my routers because it the only protocol available on packet tracer. The following setup works but how would I go about adding the vlans to switch ALPHA and switch BETA. I would like to use access list for security, for example Sales can't access Accounting but Accounting can access sales. I can do that with one layer 3 switch but how do I do it with 2? Do I add the same VLans to both switches? Should the configurations to both switches be exactly the same? Because I tried that and for some reason the Vlans could not communicate unless I changed the interface to dot1q and trunk mode. I thought it be easier to change all interfaces at one time but when I tried that STP failed. I tried setting only the interfaces being used to dot1q and trunk mode on one switch it worked but as soon as I did it for the other STP failed again. Read layer 3 switches can have HSRP but seems like a waste of a switch. Ive looked online and can't seem to figure it out. So my question is how do I set this up, I would like to add hosts and a server later but I can't even get this to work. Hopefully someone can help me out with this as I find it very interesting and am eager to figure it out. 

    Ok thanks again John. I will set that up as soon as I can. But the issue I was having don't know if its because of HSRP not configured but when I did identical configs on both switches I couldn't ping between Vlans unless I changed the interface, for example the interfaces between Sales to Alpha then Alpha to Marketing, using the command
    Switch(config-if)#int f0/?
    Switch(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    Switch(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
    for both interfaces.
    It worked ok until I did the same thing for the interfaces between Alpha and Beta then STP turned off and everything started blinking. But I had to because I couldn't get to Accounting without doing that to Beta since STP blocks ports and sends traffic through Beta also.The I tried using the same command on all the interfaces for Vlan switches Sales, Marketing, Acc instead of Alpha or Beta to try something different and same thing happened. Not sure if you know why its happening? Wrong interface encapsulation or mode on either side? needed HSRP? 
    Basically if I change all interfaces on Alpha and Beta to dot1q and trunk mode STP fails or if I change all the interfaces and the bottom switches to dot1q and trunk mode everything also fails.
    I guess I try what you said first if it fails I show you what I'm talking about.
    Thanks, 
    John

  • Using Cisco MDS 9148 switch for switching and routing

    Hi Gurus,
    Can you please advice me! Can i configure interface trunking, routing and dhcp services on the Cisco MDS 9148 switch?
    Thanks for your response!!

    Tommy,
    MDS9148 is a Storage SAN Fibre Channel switch, it doesn't support Ethernet, IP, VLANs, VLAN trunking, 802.1Q, IP routing, DHCP. It's meant for Fibre Channel connectivity between Fibre Channel server HBAs and Fibre Channel storage.

  • Performance of switch and router

    i am confused the different between switching capacity and forwarding rate ( performance of CE500 show at this link http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6545/products_data_sheet0900aecd80322aeb.html ), and In some data sheet such as router 1841, they say that the performance of 1841 is wire-speed performance, can anyone help to explain something about this.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    A device which is capable of transmitting traffic without slowing it down is said to work at wire-speed. That is that the processing by the device is not adding delay to normal trasmit speed.
    Switch Fabric interconnects the various components of the networking device. For eg. Line cards,forwarding engine etc. The capacity is measure in Mbps or Gbps.
    Forwarding Engine inspects packet headers; Determines outgoing line card of a packet; Rewrites the header. The capacity is measured in Mpps or Kpps.
    Data rate is the total number of Megabits-per-second (Mbps) that a networking element can handle.
    Packet rate is the number of million-packets-per-sec
    (Mpps) that the networking element can handle. The relation between the data rate and packet rate is simple:
    Packet rate (Mpps) = Data rate (Mbps)/ 8* packet size
    I think the packet size normally taken by Cisco is 64 Bytes.

I got it working to do router on a stick with one physical link to do interVLAN routing, but when I try to configure it using an etherchannel trunk between them, I can't get it working. Please help. Here's my running config for the switch and router:
    2970 Switch:
    <removed irrelevant info>
    interface Port-channel1
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport trunk native vlan 10
    switchport mode trunk
    duplex full
    interface GigabitEthernet0/23
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport trunk native vlan 10
    switchport mode trunk
    duplex full
    channel-group 1 mode on
    interface GigabitEthernet0/24
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport trunk native vlan 10
    switchport mode trunk
    duplex full
    channel-group 1 mode on
    interface Vlan1
    no ip address
    no ip route-cache
    interface Vlan10
    ip address 172.16.1.18 255.255.255.240
    no ip route-cache
    ip default-gateway 172.16.1.17
    2851 Router:
    interface Port-channel1
    no ip address
    duplex full
    speed 1000
    interface Port-channel1.10
    encapsulation dot1Q 10 native
    ip address 172.16.1.17 255.255.255.240
    interface Port-channel1.20
    encapsulation dot1Q 20
    ip address 172.16.2.1 255.255.255.240
    interface Port-channel1.30
    encapsulation dot1Q 30
    ip address 172.16.3.1 255.255.255.240
    interface GigabitEthernet0/0
    no ip address
    channel-group 1
    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
    no ip address
    channel-group 1
    Thank you.

    The following is a similar example , try some debuging to find encapsulation errors.

  • Connecting Cisco 2821 Router, Switch, and Cable Modem

    Hey everyone,
    I am currently in the Cisco Network Academy at my school and just finished CCNA 1.  I have a few questions though.
    I am purchasing new equipment and that equipment includes:
    1-Cisco 2821 2-port Gigabit Router
    1-Linksys SE3016 16-Port Gigabit Switch (unmanaged)
    1-Cisco WAP4410n Wireless Access Point
    1-Motorla SurfBoard Gigabit Cable Modem (no router built in-Just standalone Modem used with Comcast Xfinity High Speed Internet)
    1-12U Network Rack (not enclosed)
    I am confused on how I will connect the cable modem to the router and the router to the switch and the WAP so that I still have WiFi. Since the router only has 2 Ge Ports, how would I cable this up?
    If my assumptions are correct, would I do the following set up?
    Take the Cable Modem and run a Straight Thru to Port 1 of the Router.
    Connect the Switch Port 1 to Port 2 of the Router using a Straight Thru cable (I believe I will most likely have to Subnet a network, won't I?).
    Connect Switch Port 2 to WAP using Straight Thru Cable (so I still have WiFi in my home).
    Connect all my computers and other devices to the Switch (this includes several PC's/Laptops, two printers that are ethernet, two TV's that are ethernet, an AppleTV and a Blue Ray Player that are both ethernet, and some Cisco Powerline Network Adapters).
    Will that set up work? 
    Also, how would I configure the router to work with my cable modem AND act as a DHCP Server so that all of my devices get IP Addresses? I have the Cisco Command Guide Book, but it is confusing to me as of now.
    Thanks!

    A good start but a few points I would make.
    If you set the clock manually, you may find it resets itself after a router reboot. I would look at pointing it at an NTP server:
    #ntp server x.x.x.x
    #clock timezone GMT (Assuming you are UK based)
    Although not required, I would put a description on each of the interfaces as it may help identify them later if you are not physically in front of the Router.
    #interface gi0/0
    #description WAN
    Same for LAN
    You have set up your LAN subnet with a /16 subnet mask which is effectively 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.255.254. This is a large subnet allowing over 65k hosts which is not best practice on enterprise networks. It probably won't cause you any issues but I doubt you will have any more than 254 hosts so personally I would use a /24 subnet (255.255.255.0)
    The only major thing missing is NAT which needs to be configured on the router to translate the LAN IP addresses from their 10.* private range to the Public IP address on the Gi0/0 WAN Interface.
    Firstly you need to define the 'inside' and 'outside' NAT interfaces which is fairly self explanatory:
    #interface gi0/0
    #ip nat outside
    #interface gi0/1
    #ip nat inside
    Gi0/0 is your outside interface because its facing the Outside world (i.e the internet) and Gi0/1 is your inside interface because its facing Inside your LAN.
    Then you need to tell the router which addresses to translate against by first creating an access list:
    #ip access-list standard LAN-Addresses
    #permit 10.0.0.0 0.0.255.255
    Finally you need to tell the router to start translating:
    #ip nat inside source list LAN-Addresses interface gi0/0 overload
    Oh, I have just noticed that you do not have a 'default route' configured. A router forwards packets by first looking up the destination IP address of the packet (i.e where its going) in it's own routing table. Obviously home routers are not going to have an entry for every Public IP subnet on the internet so they use something called a default route which effectively says 'If I cannot find an entry for this packet in my routing table, use the default route'.
    As you are on DHCP and your IP address (and even default gateway) could change on your WAN interface, I would not bother with the next hop address in the default route but rather use the outgoing interface as below:
    #ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 gi0/0
    Hope this helps!
