warm up switch lab exercise...

does my ass look big in these ellipses...

prep

a. dls1 ports 1,2 to ports 1,2 on als1
    dls1 ports 3,4 to ports 3,4 on dls2
    dls1 ports 5,6 to ports 5,6 on als2

    dls2 ports 1,2 to ports 1,2 on als2
    dls2 ports 5,6 to ports 5,6 on als1

    als1ports 3,4 to ports 3,4 on als2

b. delete vlan.dat, erase start and  reload all switches

c. console each switch, set hostnames, enable secret, line cons 0 and vty's, give each vlan 1 interface 172.16.x.x /24

d. set console back to dls1

if possible open multiple telnet windows... start timer, begin

1.  set dls2, als1 and als2 as clients in vtp domain test, version 2
2.  set dls1 as vtp server
3.  on dls1 create vlans 10,20, 30 named ten, twenty and thirty
4.  verify vlans in the domain
5. on dls1 create svi's for each vlan and make all vlans root primary
6. on dls2 create svi's for each vlan and make all vlans root secondary
7. hard code trunks on every switch, dot1q where necessary, do not allow dtp
8. verify trunking
9. bundle all links between switches using only group numbers 1,2 and 3, with lacp... ensure that the numbers match on both sides of the channels... verify
10. equally distribute all non-trunked ports into vlans 10,20 and 30 on every switch... make them access ports and limit the impact of stp

verify vtp, vlans, vlan membership, trunking, channels, svi's

done

this should take less than a half hour...
