GNS3-Topology: CCNA & CCNP Full Mesh Topology Template

Chris sent me a lab which he says has helped him to work on about 95% of his CCNA and CCNP lab requirements. I think this is a clear sign that using Dynamips or GNS3 can be effective in a big way with exam preperation. That 5% left over can be achieved in a few ways - rack space, friends with labs or purchasing switches on ebay and link them into the virtual topology using real interfaces. Nevertheless Its great to see how much we can do without cash, space or budget (electricity bill) to prepare ourselves for these exams.
This lab is just a template lab and has no configs, routing protocols or scenarios to it. I’ll let Chris explain


I created one simple topology that seems to handle 95% of my CCNA & CCNP lab requirements.  It isn’t fancy, but it should save people an hour+ of labor (that is how long it took me to create this topology).
I was getting tired of making one lab per exercise in the Cisco Lab Portfolios and the Certification Zone lab exercises.  So I whipped up a 6 router setup that could handle the majority of the router scenarios I am using for practice.
It consists of 6 7206 routers in a full mesh topology.  Each router has 2 ethernet connections to a dynamips ’switch’, one each in VLAN1 and VLAN2.
Each router has at least 4 frame connections to the other routers in the topology.
Each router also has 1 frame connection to a frame relay switch, with full mesh DLCI between all routers.
I use dynagen, not GNS3.  I created a diagram of the topology using the freeware tool called Network Notepad (http://www.networknotepad.com/) so I can keep track of all the different connections.
Some of the CCNA & CCNP stuff calls for using the Cisco SDM.  I created one generic_startup.txt config file.  It sets the password to cisco for the router, and enables the http server.  It also sets the exec-timeout on con0 to infinite, and disables domain lookup (your pings will work quickly now).  All you have to do is bridge GNS3 or Dynagen to your physical network card, and you can use the Cisco SDM to interface with the routers.  Or SecureACS, the VPN client, VMWare images, etc….
Warning:  this topo uses a lot of RAM.  When I have all 6 routers running, my memory utilization jumps from 900mb to 3.5GB.  When all 6 routers are idle, I am seeing 10-15% CPU utilization - I have an Intel Core2 Quad processor.

CCNA Drag and Drop Questions

Question 1:
A dental firm is redesigning the network that connects its three locations. The administrator gave the networking team 192.168.164.0 to use for addressing the entire netwok. After subnetting the address, the team is ready to assign the addresses. The administrator plans to configure ip subnet-zero and use RIP v2 as the routing protocol. As a member of the networking team, you must address the network and at the same time conserver unused addresses for future growth. With those goals in mind, drag the host addresses on the left to the correct router interface. Once of the routers is partially configured. Move your mouse over a router to view its configuration. Not all of the host addresses on the left are necessary.
vlsm1

Answer:


vlsm1_solution
Explanation:
 In short, we should start calculating from the biggest network (with 16 hosts) to the smallest one using the formula 2n - 2 (n is the number of bits we need to borrow).Therefore:
  16 hosts < 25 - 2 (we need to borrow 5 bits -> /27)
  11 hosts < 24 - 2 (borrow 4 bits -> /28)
    5 hosts < 23 - 2 (borrow 3 bits -> /29)
From the available ip addresses, we see that each of them has only one suitable solution (they are 192.168.164.149/27,192.168.164.166/28 and 192.168.164.178/29)

The smallest network is the Floss S0/0 which only requires 2 hosts = 22 - 2 (need to borrow 2 bits ->/30). There are 2 suitable answers: 192.168.164.189/30 and 192.168.164.188/30 but notice that 192.168.164.188/30 is the network address so we can not use it (because 188 = 4 * 47) -> we have to choose 192.168.164.189 as the correct solution.
In fact, it is not the formal way to solve a VLSM question so I recommend you to review your CCNA book if you haven't grasped it well yet.

CCNA Implementation SIM

(Updated from real CCNA exam on 12-20-2008)
This topology contains 3 routers and 1 switch. Complete the topology.
Drag the appropriate device icons to the labeled Device
Drag the appropriate connections to the locations labeled Connections.
Drag the appropriate IP addresses to the locations labeled IP address

(Hint: use the given host addresses and Main router information)
To remove a device or connection, drag it away from the topology.
Use information gathered from the Main router to complete the configuration of any additional routers. No passwords are required to access the Main router. The config terminal command has been disabled for the HQ router. The router does not require any configuration.

Configure each additional router with the following:
Configure the interfaces with the correct IP address and enable the interfaces.
Set the password to allow console access to consolepw
Set the password to allow telnet access to telnetpw
Set the password to allow privilege mode access to privpw
Note: Because routes are not being added to the configurations, you will not be able to ping through the internetwork.
All devices have cable autosensing capabilities disabled.
All hosts are PC’s
Answer and explanation:


Specify appropriate devices and drag them on the "Device" boxes
For the device at the bottom-right box, we notice that it has 2 interfaces Fa0/2 and Fa0/4 -> it is a switch
The question stated that this topology contains 3 routers and 1 switch -> two other devices are routers
Place them on appropriate locations as following:

ccna_implementation_1
(Host D and host E will be automatically added after placing two routers. Click on them to access neighboring routers)
Specify appropriate connections between these devices:
+ The router on the left is connected with the Main router through FastEthernet interfaces: use a crossover cable
+ The router on the right is connected with the Main router through Serial interfaces: use a serial cable
+ The router on the right and the Switch: use a straight-through cable
+ The router on the left and the computer: use a crossover cable

ccna_implementation_2
Assign appropriate IP addresses for interfaces:
From Main router, use show running-config command:

ccna_implementation_3
(Notice that you may see different IP addresses in the real CCNA exam, the ones shown above are just used for demonstration)
From the output we learned that the ip address of Fa0/0 interface of the Main router is 192.168.152.178/28. This address belongs to a subnetwork which has:
Increment: 16 (/28 = 255.255.255.240 or 1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 0000)
Network address: 192.168.152.176 (because 176 = 16 * 11 and 176 < 178)
Broadcast address: 192.168.152.191 (because 191 = 176 + 16 - 1)
And we can pick up an ip address from the list that belongs to this subnetwork: 192.168.152.190 and assign it to the Fa0/0 interface the router on the left
Use the same method for interface Serial0/0 with an ip address of 192.168.152.172
Increment: 16
Network address: 192.168.152.160 (because 160 = 16 * 10 and 160 < 172)
Broadcast address: 192.168.152.175 (because 176 = 160 + 16 - 1)
-> and we choose 192.168.152.174 for Serial0/0 interface of the router on the right

Interface Fa0/1 of the router on the left
IP (of the computer on the left) : 192.168.152.129/28
Increment: 16
Network address: 192.168.152.128 (because 128 = 16 * 8 and 128 < 129)
Broadcast address: 192.168.152.143 (because 143 = 128 + 16 - 1)
-> we choose 192.168.152.142 from the list

Interface Fa0/0 of the router on the right
IP (of the computer on the left) : 192.168.152.225/28
Increment: 16
Network address: 192.168.152.224 (because 224 = 16 * 14 and 224 < 225)
Broadcast address: 192.168.152.239 (because 239 = 224 + 16 - 1)
-> we choose 192.168.152.238 from the list Let's have a look at the picture below to summarize

ccna_implementation_4
Configure two routers on the left and right with these commands:
Router1 = router on the left
Assign appropriate IP addresses to Fa0/0 & Fa0/1 interfaces:
Router1>enable
Router1#configure terminal
Router1(config)#interface fa0/0
Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.152.190 255.255.255.240
Router1(config-if)#no shutdown
Router1(config-if)#interface fa0/1
Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.152.142 255.255.255.240
Router1(config-if)#no shutdown
Set passwords (configure on two routers)
+ Console password:
Router1(config-if)#exit
Router1(config)#line console 0
Router1(config-line)#password consolepw
Router1(config-line)#login
Router1(config-line)#exit
+ Telnet password:
Router1(config)#line vty 0 4
Router1(config-line)#password telnetpw
Router1(config-line)#login
Router1(config-line)#exit
+ Privilege mode password:
Router1(config)#enable password privpw

Save the configuration:
Router1(config)#exit
Router1#copy running-config startup-config
Configure IP addresses of Router2 (router on the right)
Router2>enable
Router2#configure terminal
Router2(config)#interface fa0/0
Router2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.152.238 255.255.255.240
Router2(config-if)#no shutdown

Router2(config-if)#interface serial0/0
Router2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.152.174 255.255.255.240
Router2(config-if)#no shutdown
and set console, telnet and privilege mode passwords for Router2 as we did for Router1, remember to save the configuration when you finished

CCNA Troubleshooting Questions 1

Question 1:
Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator is in a campus building distant from Building B. WANRouter is hosting a newly installed WAN link on interface S0/0. The new link is not functioning and the administrator needs to determine if the correct cable has been attached to the S0/0 interface. How can the administrator accurately verify the correct cable type on S0/0 in the most efficient manner?
remoteconnect1
A. Telnet to WANRouter and execute the command show interfaces S0/0
B. Telnet to WANRouter and execute the command show processes S0/0
C. Telnet to WANRouter and execute the command show running-configuration
D. Telnet to WANRouter and execute the command show controller S0/0
E. Physically examine the cable between WANRouter S0/0 and the DCE.
F. Establish a console session on WANRouter and execute the command show interfaces S0/0

Answer: D


Explanation:
The show controller command displays the information about the physical interface itself and the type of serial cable plugged into a serial port. In this case, it should be a DTE cable that plugs into a type of data service unit (DSU).
For your understanding, below is the output of this command:

show_controllers
From the output, we notice that serial 0/0 has a DTE cable and would get its clocking from the DSU.
