Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to configure RIPv2 using Cisco SDM.
Lab Purpose:
Understanding Cisco SDM is a fundamental skill. SDM is a web-based application that can be used to configure routers as well as troubleshoot internetworks. As a Cisco engineer, as well as in the Cisco CCNA exam, you will be expected to know how to configure RIP version 2 routing using SDM.
Certification Level:
This lab is suitable for CCNA certification exam preparation
Lab Difficulty:
This lab has a difficulty rating of 5/10
Readiness Assessment:
When you are ready for your certification exam, you should complete this lab in no more than 10 minutes
| IMPORTANT NOTE:
In order to use SDM, you must have an SDM-capable router. The following routers support SDM:
The objective of this lab exercise is to familiarize your with the SDM GUI and how to navigate through it. As long as you have one of the platforms listed above, the configuration tasks and GUI navigation will be the same. These lab exercises are based on a Cisco 3640 router with two 10Mbps Ethernet interfaces and two Serial interfaces, but can be completed on any one of the above routers with similar interfaces. Substitute the interfaces in these lab exercises with the ones you have on your router. |
Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab.
Task 1:
Configure hostnames on Sw1 and R2 as illustrated in the topology.
Task 2:
Configure VLAN 200 on Sw1 and assign it the name SDM_VLAN. Next, configure the E0/0 interface of SDM-1 with the IP address of 10.1.1.2/24. Ensure that the PC has the IP address 10.1.1.1/24 configured on the correct NIC.
Task 3:
Using the CLI configure the S0/0 interface of R2 with the IP address specified in the topology. Enable this interface and provide clocking to SDM-1 at 2Mbps. Configure Loopback10 on R2 with the IP address 192.168.254.1/32
Task 4:
Using SDM, configure the S0/0 interface of SDM-1 with the IP address specified in the topology.
Task 5:
Configure RIPv2 using on R2. Configure Serial0/0 and Loopback0 for RIPv2 routing.
Task 6:
Using SDM, configure RIPv2 on SDM-1. Ensure that the Serial0/0 and Ethernet0/0 subnets are configured for RIPv2 routing. Finally, verify the RIPv2 routes on R2.
