Designing and Supporting Computer Networks
StadiumCompany Story
The Discovery Designing and Supporting Computer Networks course uses the fictional StadiumCompany
network upgrade story in the main text and media presentation and in Packet Tracer activities. StadiumCompany
is a stadium management company that manages a large sports facility.
When the sports facility was built, the network that supported its business offices and security services provided
state-of-the-art communications capabilities. Over the years, the company added new equipment and increased
the number of connections without considering the overall business goals and long-term infrastructure design.
Some projects went ahead without an understanding of the bandwidth, traffic prioritization, and other
requirements needed to support this advanced and business-critical network. Now the StadiumCompany
management wants to improve the customer experience by adding high-tech features and support for concerts,
but the underlying network cannot support these additions.
The StadiumCompany management understands that they do not have sufficient network expertise to support the
network upgrade. The StadiumCompany decides to hire network consultants to provide design, project
management, and implementation support. The project will be implemented in three phases. The first phase is to
plan the project and prepare the high-level network design. The second phase is to develop the detailed network
design. The third phase is to implement the design.
After a few meetings, StadiumCompany hires the NetworkingCompany, a local network design and consulting
firm to support the phase 1, high-level design. NetworkingCompany is a Cisco Premier Partner employing 20
network engineers who have various CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, CCDP, and CCIE certifications and significant
industry experience.
To create the high-level design, the NetworkingCompany first interviewed the staff at the stadium and developed
a profile of the organization and the facility.

StadiumCompany Phones and PCs

All the managers and executives at the StadiumCompany use PCs and phones connected to a digital voice PBX.
With the exception of the full-time grounds people and the janitors, all the salaried personnel also use PCs and
phones.
Fifty shared phones for the security staff are distributed throughout the stadium. There are also 12 analog
phones, some that support faxes and others that provide direct access to the police and fire stations. The security
group also has 30 security cameras implemented on a separate network.
Existing Facilities and Support

The StadiumCompany provides facilities and network support for two sports teams (Team A and Team B), a
visiting team, a restaurant, and a concessions vendor.
Page 2 of 6
CCNA Discovery
The stadium is approximately 725 feet wide by 900 feet long (approximately 220 meters wide by 375 meters
long). There are two levels. Because of the size of the facility, multiple wiring closets connected with fiber-optic
cabling are distributed throughout the stadium.
The Team A and Team B locker rooms and player lounges are on the first level of the south side of the stadium.
The team offices are on the second level and measure 50 feet x 200 feet (approximately 15 meters wide by 60
meters long)
The office and locker room of the visiting team are also located on the first level.
StadiumCompany offices are in the north side of the stadium on both levels. The office space on the first level
measures 200 feet x 60 feet (approximately 60 meters wide by 18 meters long), and measures 200 feet x 50 feet
(approximately 60 meters wide by 15 meters long) on the second level.
Team A and Team B are in different sports leagues with different seasons. They both contract with the
StadiumCompany for offices and services at the stadium.
Team A Organization
Team A has 90 people in the organization:
4 executives
12 coaches
14 support staff (including doctors, masseuse, secretary, assistants, finance and accounting)
60 players
Team A has 15 offices in the stadium to support their non-player staff. Five of these offices are shared. There are
24 PCs and 28 phones installed in the offices.
Team A also has a player locker room and a large player lounge and workout room. The non-player staff uses the
facility year round. Players have access to the locker room and workout equipment both during the season and

the off-season. There are 5 phones in the locker room, and 15 phones in the player lounge. There are rumors that
Team A recently installed a wireless hub in the player lounge.
Team B Organization
Team B has 64 people in the organization:
4 executives
8 coaches
12 support staff (including doctors, masseuse, secretary, assistants, finance and accounting)
40 players
Team B has 12 offices in the stadium to support their non-player staff. Three of the offices are shared. There are
19 PCs and 22 phones installed in the offices. They also have a player locker room and a large player lounge.
The non-player staff uses the facility year round. Players have access to the locker room and workout equipment
both during the season and the off season. There are 5 phones in the locker room, and 15 phones in the player
lounge.
Visiting Team Support

The visiting team locker room and lounge has 10 phones. Each visiting team requires temporary support on the
game day and for a few days before the game. The visiting teams also contract with the StadiumCompany for
office support and services at the stadium.
Concession Vendor
A concession vendor manages the concessions provided at games and events. There are five full-time
employees. They use two private and two shared offices with five PCs and seven phones. These offices are
located on the south side of the stadium between the Team A and Team B office space. Two part-time employees
take orders from the luxury boxes during events. The concession vendor uses seasonal hourly workers to support
32 permanent concession stands and other services distributed throughout the stadium. At this time, there are no
phones or PCs in the concession areas.
Luxury Restaurant Organization

There is one luxury restaurant at the stadium that is open year round. In addition to the customer and kitchen
areas, the restaurant contracts for office space from the StadiumCompany. The four managers have private
offices. The two salaried financial and accounting staff share an office. Six PCs and phones are supported. Two
additional phones are used for reservations in the customer area.
Page 4 of 6
CCNA Discovery
Luxury Skybox Support

There are 20 luxury skyboxes. The StadiumCompany provides a phone in each skybox that supports local calls
and calls to the luxury restaurant and the concession vendor.
Press Area Support

The StadiumCompany provides a press box with three shared areas:
The press print area typically houses 40 to 50 reporters during a game. There are 10 analog phones available
in this shared area, and two shared data ports. It is known that one newspaper intern brings in a small
wireless Access Point for games that she covers.
The press radio area supports 15 to 20 radio announcers and has 10 analog phone lines.
The press TV area typically supports 10 people. There are five phones available here.
Remote Site Support

The StadiumCompany currently has two remote locations: a ticketing office located in the downtown area, and a
souvenir shop in a local shopping mall. The remote locations are connected using DSL service to a local Internet
service provider (ISP).
Page 5 of 6
CCNA Discovery
The stadium is connected to the local ISP using ISP1, a managed services router owned by the ISP. The two
remote sites have a connection to the same ISP supported by the ISP2 and ISP3 routers provisioned and
managed by the ISP. This connection provides the remote sites access to the databases located on servers in the
StadiumCompany management offices. The StadiumCompany also has a perimeter router named Edge Router
that connects to the ISP1 router at the stadium.
StadiumCompany Plans
The StadiumCompany wants to add new services, such as video, to their network. They are also thinking about
replacing the existing digital voice PBX. They would like better access to their existing security camera network.
Two new remote sites are planned in the near future:
A film production company that has been hired to provide video during and after the sporting events and
concerts needs to connect to the stadium network to exchange files.
Team A is expanding to a remote office location. They are requesting access to the same network resources
that they use on the stadium LAN.

1.3.2 Investigating Failure Domains
Objective
a. Observe the flow of network traffic in different topologies
b. Observe the change of flow in network traffic when a point of failure is introduced into the network
This activity has three different topologies: a partial mesh, a star, and a full mesh. When this activity is started,
you will need to allow time for each network topology to converge. This may take several minutes. Once
the networks have converged, you will note the following:
a. The partial mesh topology will have one link light on the PM4 switch that remains amber.
b. The star topology will have all the link lights green.
c. The full mesh topology will have three link lights amber; one on the FM1 switch and two on the FM3
switch.
Required file: Investigating Failure Domains.pka
In the partial mesh and full mesh topology the network has redundant links. However, in order to avoid switching
loops some of the links have been shutdown as noted by the amber link light. Note that the star topology does not
Page 1 of 3
CCNA Discovery
have redundant links between switches. Why are all of the link lights green in this topology?
___________________________________________________________________________
Good Distribution Layer design can limit the parts of the network that are affected by a network failure. The failure
of a single device should not cause the network to go down. In this activity you will observe the flow of the
network traffic in each topology. Then you will introduce a point of failure in each network topology by deleting a
trunk link between two switches. Once the link is removed, you will need to allow time for the network to reconverge. After the network has re-converged, you will again observe the flow of traffic and note how the network
failure affected the flow of traffic.
Step 1: Observe the flow of traffic on the partial mesh topology

a. Once the network has converged, enter simulation mode by clicking on the Simulation tab.
b. By default, Scenario 0 should be displayed in the Scenario window. Click on the Auto Capture/Play
button and observe the flow of traffic from PM3B to PM4B
c. When the Buffer Full window appears, click Clear Event List.
d. Click the Reset Simulation button
Step 2: Introduce a point of failure on the partial mesh topology

a. Delete the trunk link between PM2 and PM4
b. Change to simulation mode by clicking on the Simulation tab.
c. Play Scenario 0 again by clicking on the Auto Capture/ Play button and observe the flow of traffic from
PMB to PM4B
d. When the Buffer Full window appears, click Clear Event List.
e. Click the Reset Simulation button
Step 3: Observe the flow of traffic on the star topology

a. Click on the dropdown arrow to the Scenario window and select Scenario 1.
b. Play Scenario 1 by clicking on the Auto Capture/ Play button and observe the flow of traffic from S2A to
S4B
c. Click Clear event List when the Buffer Full window appears and click the Reset Simulation button
Step 4: Introduce a point of failure on the star topology

a.
b.
c.
d.
Delete the trunk link between Star1 and Star2

Since the star topology has no redundant links, the network will not need to re-converge
Play Scenario 1 again and observe the flow of traffic from S2A to S4B
Click Clear event List when the Buffer Full window appears and click the Reset Simulation button
Step 5: Observe the flow of traffic on the full mesh topology

a. Click on the dropdown arrow to the Scenario window and select Scenario 2
b. Play Scenario 2 by clicking the Auto Capture / Play button and observe the flow of traffic from FM1A to
FM3B
c. Click Clear event List when the Buffer Full window appears and click the Reset Simulation button
Step 6: Introduce a point of failure on the full mesh topology

a.
b.
c.

1.3.4 Placing ACLs
Objectives
Verify network connectivity

Examine the Access Control Lists (ACLs) that are configured on the routers
Determine the appropriate interface to apply the ACLs
Examine the affects of the ACL
Page 1 of 2
CCNA Discovery
This activity demonstrates how the flow of network traffic is affected by applying an ACL to permit or deny traffic in
the network. The network administrator has decided that all external web traffic goes only to the Web server.
Also, in order to protect the data o their employees, the HR server is only accessible to HR employees.
Therefore, ACLs will need to be implemented on the network. Another network technician has already configured
the necessary ACLs on both the Gateway and Distribution2 routers. However, the ACLs have not been applied to
an interface. You have been asked to apply the ACLs and verify that the appropriate traffic is permitted or denied.
Required file: Placing ACLs
Step 1: Verify network connectivity

a. Verify that all of the PCs can communicate with each other and with the servers.
b. Verify that the Internet Host can access the Web server (192.168.0.3), Sales server (192.168.10.2) and
HR server (192.168.40.2) using the browser.
Step 2: Examine the Access Control Lists that are configured on the routers
a. Access the Distribution1 router. Use the following commands to view the ACL that has been configured
on the Distribution1 router:
show running-config
show access-lists 1
b. Access the Gateway router. Use the following commands to view the ACL that has been configured on
the Gateway router:
show running-config
show access-lists 100
Step 3: Determine the appropriate interface to apply the ACLs

a. After examining the ACLs determine on which interface the ACLs should be applied
b. The ACL must be applied to an interface or subinterface before it will affect the network traffic
c. The extended ACL should be placed closest to the source and the standard ACL should be closest to the
destination.
d. Remember that only one ACL per port, per protocol, per direction is allowed.
e. Apply the ACL to the appropriate interface or subinterface.
Step 4: Examine the affects of the ACL

a. Internet Host should be able to ping any device in the network, except HR1 or HR server.
b. Internet Host should be able to access Web server (192.168.0.3) using the browser.
c. Internet Host should not be able to access either the HR server (192.168.40.1) or Sales server
(192.168.10.2) using the browser.
d. HR2 should be able to access HR server (192.168.40.1) using ping or the browser.
e. RandD2 should not be able to access HR server (192.168.40.1) using ping or the browser.

1.5.3 Using Redundant Links on Server Farm Devices

Objective
Determine how redundancy affects server availability.
The physical topology of the first network (Topology 1) has been designed without redundancy. To test the fault
tolerance of the network, links should be removed to test the effect on the network and to determine if the network
can recover from the removed link.
The physical topology of the second network (Topology 2) has been designed and redundancy has been
incorporated into the design. To test the fault tolerance of the network, links should be removed to test the effect
on the network and to determine if the network can recover from the downed link.

3.1.1 Investigating Existing Network Devices
Objective
Use router and switch commands to obtain information about an existing network.
You have been given the task of documenting a large campus network. When you arrive at the site you
discover that the network administrator is not available and he has the only keys to the wiring closets and the
cabinets containing the existing network documentation. Since information on the network is needed as soon
as possible, you decide to discover as much information as possible using router and switch commands.
You are given access to the administrators PC and are told that the Telnet access password for all devices is
cisco and the password to enter privileged exec mode is class.
Step 1: Discover and document the first device.

a. Access the Admin PC and issue the ipconfig command from the command prompt to discover the
default gateway.
b. Telnet to the IP address of the gateway device and enter privileged exec mode using the passwords
given above.
c.
Issue IOS commands such as show running-config, show ip route, show interfaces, show ip
interface brief, show version and other commands to learn about the device.
d. Issue IOS commands such as show cdp neighbors and show cdp neighbors detail to discover
information about connected devices. It may take a few minutes for the network to converge. If you do
not see any neighboring devices initially, repeat the command until you do.
e. Document the information you gather in the appropriate table below.
f.
Close the Telnet session by issuing the exit command.
Step 2: Discover the remaining devices.

a. Packet Tracer works best when you successfully ping a device before attempting to Telnet to it.
Issue the ping command to the IP address of one of the devices you discovered in Step 1. Repeat
the ping command until it succeeds.
b. Telnet to the IP address of the device and repeat the process in Step 1 to document the device.
c.
To not overuse the resources of Packet Tracer, do not Telnet from device to device. Always exit to
the command prompt before accessing the next device.
d. Repeat the process until all devices in the network are discovered and documented.

3.4.3 Placing Wireless Access Points
Objective
Use available tools to perform a wireless site survey.
A wireless network consists of one or more wireless access points to provide coverage for wireless clients in
an office environment. The goal of the site survey is to find the optimal number and placement of access
points to provide coverage where it is needed and, for security reasons, to minimize coverage where it is not
needed. We will use the tools available in Packet Tracer to simulate a site survey of a one story office
building with two access points installed in the ceiling.
The Linksys WRT300N wireless access routers are used to simulate access points installed in the ceiling, a
PC with a Linksys WMP300N interface installed is used to simulate a laptop computer with wireless capability.

c.
Why is Spanning Tree Protocol necessary where there are redundant links?
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
Equipment installed at the Network Distribution Layer usually consists of multi-layer, modular switches that
connect to Layer 2 Access Layer switches through redundant links. These Distribution Layer switches then
connect to Core Layer devices, also through redundant links. Spanning Tree Protocol allows these redundant
connections without the problems associated with switching loops.
Packet Tracer only supports devices typically found in the CCNA academy lab bundle, not the type of
switches typically used at the Network Distribution Layer. We will use regular Layer 2 switches to represent
these switches as we connect the redundant links between the Access and Distribution Layer switches and
observe the operation of Spanning Tree Protocol.
Required file: Connecting Access and Distribution Layer Switches.pka
Step 1: Connect the Access Layer switches to the Distribution Layer switches.
a. Using the proper cables, connect the first interface on switch Access1 to the first interface on switch
Distribution1 and the second interface on switch Access1 to the first interface on switch
Distribution2.
b. Using the proper cables, connect the first interface on switch Access2 to the second interface on
switch Distribution1 and the second interface on switch Access2 to the second interface on switch
Distribution2.
c.
Using the proper cables, connect the first interface on switch Access3 to the third interface on switch
Distribution1 and the second interface on switch Access3 to the third interface on switch

5.5.3 Implementing Access Control Lists
Objective
Test basic connectivity

Create and apply an Access Control List (ACL)
Verify the application of the ACL
As part of an IT staff, you have been asked to work with the network designer to define the firewall rule set to
be implemented in the new network design. The firewall rule set dictates the exact types of network activity
permitted. As the designer of a network, you are responsible for the first line of security on the network. The
security policies will dictate which users and groups are permitted access to what resources, and what type of
access is denied. When designing firewall rule sets and access control lists, the general policy is to deny all
traffic that is either not specifically authorized or is not in response to a permitted inquiry. Each firewall rule set
may require more than one ACL statement and may require both inbound and outbound placement. In this
scenario, you will be creating a sampling of ACLs that might be applied in a firewall rule set.
Required file: Implementing Access Control Lists.pka
Step 1: Discover and document the first device.

a. Access the Admin PC and issue the ipconfig command from the command prompt to discover the
default gateway.
b. Telnet to the IP address of the gateway device and enter privileged exec mode using the passwords
given above.
c.
Issue IOS commands such as show running-config, show ip route, show interfaces, show ip
interface brief, show version and other commands to learn about the device.
d. Issue IOS commands such as show cdp neighbors and show cdp neighbors detail to discover
information about connected devices. It may take a few minutes for the network to converge. If you do
not see any neighboring devices initially, repeat the command until you do.
e. Document the information you gather in the appropriate table below.
f.
Close the Telnet session by issuing the exit command.
Page 1 of 2
CCNA Discovery
Step 2: Discover the remaining devices.

a. Packet Tracer works best when you successfully ping a device before attempting to Telnet to it.
Issue the ping command to the IP address of one of the devices you discovered in Step 1. Repeat
the ping command until it succeeds.
b. Telnet to the IP address of the device and repeat the process in Step 1 to document the device.
c.
To not overuse the resources of Packet Tracer, do not Telnet from device to device. Always exit to
the command prompt before accessing the next device.
d. Repeat the process until all devices in the network are discovered and documented.
e. As you work, sketch out a diagram of the network devices and their interconnections.
Step 3: Examine the Access Control Lists that are configured on the routers
a. Click on the CLI tab on Edge1 to examine the ACLs that have been configured
b. Use the following commands to view the ACLs that have been configured on the routers:
show running-config
show access-lists 100
Step 4: Determine the appropriate interface to apply the ACLs

a.
b.
c.
d.
After examining the ACLs determine where the ACLs should be applied
The ACL must be applied to an interface before it will affect the network traffic
Remember that only one ACL per port, per protocol, per direction is allowed.
Using the CLI mode, apply the ACL to the appropriate interface on the Edge1 router
Step 5: Examine the affects of the ACL

a. Verify that the appropriate traffic is permitted or denied
b. The Inside PC should be permitted to:
Ping all devices (use the command prompt)
Make HTTP request from the Web Server at 192.168.2.10 (use the Web browser on the Inside
PC)
Telnet to the Internet router at 172.16.1.1 (use the command prompt) password = cisco. Use
the command exit to return to PC prompt.
Use FTP to reach other devices (use Simulation mode and a Complex PDU to simulate the FTP
traffic for the Complex PDU set the Select Application: FTP, Destination IP Address:
192.168.1.10, Source Port: 50000, One Shot Time: 1)
c. The Outside PC should be denied the following:
Ping to Edge1, Core, Inside PC, and Data Center (use the command prompt)
Make HTTP request from the Data Center 10.0.10.20 (use the Web browser on the Inside PC).
However, it should still be able to reach the Web Server at 192.168.2.10.
Use FTP to reach other devices (use Simulation mode and a Complex PDU to simulate the FTP
traffic for the Complex PDU set the Select Application: FTP, Destination IP Address:
10.0.10.10, Source Port: 50000, One Shot Time: 1)
d. All other network traffic should be denied from reaching the 10.0.10.0 network
Reflection
1. With the current ACL applied, would you be able to Telnet from the Outside PC to the Edge1 router at
172.16.1.2? Why?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
2. Why is it always necessary to have at least one Permit statement in an ACL?

Goals of Test:
The goal of the test is to verify the expected operation of the EIGRP routing
protocol compared to static routes.
Data to Record:
Configurations
Routing Tables
CPU & Memory
Ping Test Output
Trace Route Output
Estimated Time:
120 minutes
Test 1. Procedures:
network.
5. Verify EIGRP configuration using show ip route, show ip protocols, show ip eigrp
topology, and show ip eigrp interfaces.
Step 2: Verify that EIGRP can recover from a routed link failure.
1. Telnet to Router R2.
2. Disable the link between R2 and R3 by shutting down interface fa0/1 on R2.
3. Wait a few seconds for the EIGRP topology to converge.
4. Examine the show ip route output. Copy and paste the results into a document for later use.
5. Compare the command output with the previously recorded show ip route output for R2.
6. Use the tracert command on PC1 and PC2 to verify the path that the traffic is taking through
the network.
Step 3: Remove EIGRP from R2 and configure static routes.

1. Telnet to router R2,
2. Enable the link between R2 and R3 by activating interface fa0/1 on R2.
3. Remove EIGRP from router R2 by using the no router EIGRP 1 command.
4. Add a static default route to Router R2 that uses Router R3 as the default gateway.
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.18.0.4
5. Telnet to router R3,
6. Add a static route to router R3 using the ip route 172.18.4.0 255.255.255.0
172.18.0.13 to enable R3 to use R2 to reach the 172.18.4.0/24 network.
7. Use the show ip route command on routers R2 and R3 to verify that the static routes are
entered correctly.
8. Use the tracert and ping commands to verify connectivity between PC1 and PC2.
Step 4: Verify that static routes can recover from a link failure.
1. Telnet to router R2.
2. Disable the link between R2 and R3 by shutting down interface fa0/1 on R2.
3. Examine the show ip route output. Copy and paste the results into a document for later use.
4. Compare the output with the previously recorded output from steps 1 and 2.
5. Use the tracert command on PC1 and PC2 to verify the path that the traffic is taking through
the network.

1. EIGRP recovers dynamically from the link failure and restores connectivity between PC1 and
PC2. This can be verified by the output of the show ip route command and a successful
trace route between PC1 and PC2.
2. Static routes in Router R2 and R3 do not recover from the link failure and connectivity between
PC1 and PC2 is not restored.

Test 1. Description: Access Control Lists Test

Goals of Test:
The goal of the test is to verify that access control lists are properly
configured and applied to permit authorized traffic and to block unauthorized
traffic.
Data to Record:
Configurations
Router configurations
ACL information
Ping Test Output
Web page access information
Estimated Time:
120 minutes
Test 1. Procedures:
Step 1: Verify full connectivity from all PCs to all servers.
1. From PC1 and PC2 ping all of the servers in the topology. Record the results.
2. From PC1 and PC2 access the following web pages: www.web1a.com, www.web1b.com,
www.web2a.com, and www.web2b.com. Record the results.
3. From PC2, ping the Fa0/1 interface of routers R1 and R2 to verify connectivity and then telnet to
routers R1 and R2 and get the show running-config output. Copy and paste the results into
a document for later use.
Step 2: Plan access control lists to prevent unauthorized access to the server farm.
1. Design an access control list numbered 101 to allow only web access from hosts on the internal
network, 172.18.0.0/16, to any device and deny all other traffic. Design an access control list
numbered 102 to allow only DNS access from hosts on the internal network, 172.18.0.0/16, to any
device and deny all other traffic.
Step 3: Configure and apply access control lists.
1. Telnet to routers R1 and R2 and add both access control lists and apply them on to the proper
interfaces in the proper direction to protect the servers connected to that interface.
Step 4: Verify proper operation of the access control lists.
3. Telnet to routers R1 and R2 and document the final cofiguration using show runningconfig, and show access-lists.

1. Prior to configuring access control lists both PCs can ping all servers and access all web pages.
2. After configuring access control lists, PC2, representing a legitimate inside user, can not ping any
server but can access all web pages.
3. After configuring access control lists, PC1, representing a PC set up to maintain switch
configurations, can ping servers in its own VLAN, can not ping other servers, and can not access
any web pages.

Test 1. Description: Access Control Lists Test

Goals of Test:
The goal of the test is to verify that access control lists are properly
configured and applied to permit authorized traffic and to block unauthorized
traffic.
Data to Record:
Configurations
Router configurations
ACL information
Ping Test Output
Web page access information
Estimated Time:
120 minutes
Test 1. Procedures:
3. From PC2, ping the Fa0/1 interface of routers R1 and R2 to verify connectivity and then telnet to
routers R1 and R2 and get the show running-config output. Copy and paste the results into
a document for later use.
Step 2: Plan access control lists to prevent unauthorized access to the server farm.
1. Design an access control list numbered 101 to allow only web access from hosts on the internal
network, 172.18.0.0/16, to any device and deny all other traffic. Design an access control list
numbered 102 to allow only DNS access from hosts on the internal network, 172.18.0.0/16, to any
device and deny all other traffic.
Step 3: Configure and apply access control lists.
1. Telnet to routers R1 and R2 and add both access control lists and apply them on to the proper
interfaces in the proper direction to protect the servers connected to that interface.
Step 4: Verify proper operation of the access control lists.
3. Telnet to routers R1 and R2 and document the final cofiguration using show runningconfig, and show access-lists.

1. Prior to configuring access control lists both PCs can ping all servers and access all web pages.
2. After configuring access control lists, PC2, representing a legitimate inside user, can not ping any
server but can access all web pages.
3. After configuring access control lists, PC1, representing a PC set up to maintain switch
configurations, can ping servers in its own VLAN, can not ping other servers, and can not access
any web pages.

estimated time to perform the test. Test 1 is given as an example.
Test 1. Description: Frame Relay Connectivity Test

Goals of Test:
The goal of the baseline is to verify that the Frame Relay network is up and running with the
proper protocols and features.
Data to Record:
Configurations
Interface status
Routing Tables
CPU & Memory
Ping Test Output
Estimated Time:
45 minutes total
30 minutes build
15 minutes test
Test 1. Procedures:
1. Build the topology according to the diagram shown in Figure 1 without Ethernet backup link.
Assign IP addresses according to the IP address plan. To configure the serial connections
through the Frame Relay network, you will need to change the encapsulation type to frame relay.
Then use the frame-relay map ip command to identify what circuit needs to be used to reach
the distant IP address. Lastly, turn on the interface. For example, on the Edge2 router, you need
to enter:
Edge2(config)#interface Serial 0/1/1
Edge2(config)#encapsulation frame-relay
Edge2(config-if)#frame-relay map ip 172.18.0.10 100 broadcast
Edge2(config-if)#no shutdown
Notice that you are using the BR3 Serial 0/1/0 address and connecting it to the local 100 DLCI.
The broadcast will allow EIGRP multicast updates to use the link as well. The BR3 router Serial
0/1/0 will need to be configured in a like manner.
2. Create a basic configuration on each device. Include applicable passwords, device names,
default routes, default gateways, and activate interfaces.
4. Telnet to each device in the configuration and verify that each is reachable.
5. Start a log file and get the show running-config, show ip route, show processes
cpu sorted, show interfaces and the first few lines of show memory . Save the log file
for later analysis. Repeat for all devices in the topology.

8.2.5 Testing Design Redundancy
Objectives
Using the test plan, configure the backup links and verify the failover works as expected.
In this exercise, you will configure a Frame Relay network and a backup link. Once the network is built and
configured, you can perform a Frame Relay Connectivity Test, Floating Static Routes Configuration Test and a
Link Failure Test specified in the designers test plan. Download and complete the Redundancy Test Plan
document in addition to the PT activity.
Required files: Testing Design Redundancy.pka and Redundancy Test Plan
Test 1 Frame Relay Connectivity Test
Configure Edge2 and BR3 hostnames and LAN connection to Switch0. Use the address table in the
Redundancy Test Plan. To configure the serial connections through the Frame Relay network, you will need
to change the encapsulation type to frame relay. Then use the frame-relay map ip command to identify what
circuit needs to be used to reach the distant IP address. Lastly, turn on the interface. For example, on the
Edge2 router, you need to enter:
Edge2(config)#interface Serial 0/1/1
Edge2(config)#encapsulation frame-relay
Edge2(config-if)#frame-relay map ip 172.18.0.10 100 broadcast
Edge2(config-if)#no shutdown
Notice that you are using the BR3 Serial 0/1/0 address and connecting it to the local 100 DLCI. The
broadcast will allow EIGRP multicast updates to use the link as well. The BR3 router Serial 0/1/0 will need to
be configured in a like manner.
Configure EIGRP (AS 1) on Edge2 and BR3. Advertise only the networks connected to the FrameCloud and
Switch0. On BR3, do not send advertisements out fa0/1.
Page 1 of 2
CCNA Discovery
Test 2 Floating Static Routes Configuration Test
On Edge2, configure fa0/1 using the addressing given in the Test Plan.
On Edge2, configure floating static routes (AD=130) to 172.18.225.0/25 and 172.18.225.248/30 through
the back-up network using the local interface argument.
On BR3, configure fa0/0 using the addressing given in the Test Plan.
On BR3, configure a floating default route (AD=130) through fa0/0.
Test 3 Link Failure Test
On Edge2, shutdown interface s0/1/1 and wait a few seconds.

From Edge2, ping 172.18.225.1. Troubleshoot until it is successful.
On Edge2, turn interface s0/1/1 back on and wait a few seconds.
From Edge2, ping 172.18.225.1. Ensure the path is back through the Frame network.
