1-3 Semester 8 Internetwork Troubleshooting v1.0 - Lab 6.2.2 Copyright  2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. Lab 6.2.2 Trunking Misconfiguration (Troubleshooting LAN Switches) Fast 2/3 Fast0/1 Fa 0/2 Trunk Crossover Connection ALSwitch 2900XL-Ent VLAN 10 Client Objective Trunking changes the formatting of the packet. The ports need to be in agree- ment as to what format they are using on the link or they will not understand each other. If you turn the trunking mode to on (as opposed to auto or desir- able) for one port and the other port has the trunking mode set to off, they will not be able to communicate. Scenario This is not part of the International Travel Agency network. As the Enterprise Network Administrator, you add a new access layer switch to the network. You establish trunking using the command “switchport mode trunk” on interface FastEthernet 0/1 for the access layer switch and establish the necessary VLAN trunking parameters for VTP. The message “02:18:24: %LINK-4-ERROR: FastEthernet0/1 is experiencing errors” appears on ALSwitch. Lab Tasks Clear the DLRouter configuration using the following commands: Router#erase start Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm]y[OK] Erase of nvram: complete Router#reload Proceed with reload? [confirm]y Clear the DLSwitch configuration using the following commands: Console> (enable) clear config all This command will clear all configuration in NVRAM. This command will cause ifIndex to be reassigned on the next system startup.

Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]? y Clear the ALSwitch configuration and VLAN database using the following com- mands: ALSwitch#clear start Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm]y[OK] Erase of nvram: complete ALSwitch#delete vlan.dat Delete filename [vlan.dat]? Delete flash:vlan.dat? [confirm]y ALSwitch#reload Proceed with reload? [confirm]y Load the file called Lab6-2-2-DLSwitchBrokenConfig.txt into the DLSwitch. Load the file called Lab6-2-2-ALSwitchBrokenConfig.txt into the ALSwitch. Step 1 Define your problem. Step 2 Gather the Facts.
