Cisco Trunking and switching:Router on a stick (Part2)

Router on a stick 

(Part 2)

Introduction

This is a beginner course that talks about router on a stick topology and is devided on 3 parts, each part will contain certain tasks to do, after finishing these three parts you will be able to configure a router on a stick topology using CiscoPacketTracer.


Today we are covering the second part of configurations,that will include adding  a router to our topology and assigning IP addresses to local user machines.

Task 4 - Configure static IP addresses to user machines.
Task 5 - Configure two sub-interfaces on the router.
Task 6 - Ping hosts
Please note that this lab was created with CiscoPacketTracer.

Task 4 : Configure static IP addresses to user machines

Here we added some configurations

On PC1
Click on PC1 -> select IP configuration
than add addresses as follows

IP Address: 10.10.10.10
Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway :10.10.10.1

On PC0
Click on PC0-> select IP configuration
than add addresses as follows

IP Address: 20.20.20.20
Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway:20.20.20.1

Task 5 - Configure two sub-interfaces on the router.

To configure the router these commands must be entered

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1.10
encapsulation dot1Q 10
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1.20
encapsulation dot1Q 20

ip address 20.20.20.1 255.255.255.0

Then activate the port G0/0/1 by issuing

#int g0/0/1
#no shutdown (or no sh)

This is the new topology:

Task 6 - Ping hosts

On PC 1:

click on PC1-> select command prompt

than issue this command 

>ping 20.20.20.20 //Now PC1 and PC0 are communication through the router

This result will appear

That means our two PCs see each other.

In the Next Lab we'll be digging into details and issuing some troubleshooting commands.
