Task 13: Clean Up
Erase the configurations and reload the routers. Disconnect and store the cabling. For PC hosts that
are normally connected to other networks (such as the school LAN or the Internet), reconnect the
appropriate cabling and restore the TCP/IP settings.
Packet Tracer Companion: Challenge RIP Configuration
(5.6.2)
Packet Tracer
Companion
You can now open the file LSG02-Lab562.pka on the CD-ROM that accompanies this topic to repeat
this hands-on lab using Packet Tracer. Remember, however, that Packet Tracer is not a substitute for a
hands-on lab experience with real equipment. A summary of the instructions is provided within the
activity.
Lab 5-3: RIP Troubleshooting (5.6.3)
Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to
Cable a network according to the topology diagram in Figure 5-14
■
Erase the startup configuration and reload a router to the default state
■
Load the routers with supplied scripts
■
Discover where convergence is not complete
■
Gather information about the nonconverged portion of the network along with any other errors
■
Analyze information to determine why convergence is not complete
■
Propose solutions to network errors
■
Implement solutions to network errors
■
Document the corrected network
■
Scenario
In this lab, you will begin by loading configuration scripts on each of the routers. These scripts con-
tain errors that will prevent end-to-end communication across the network. You will need to trou-
bleshoot each router to determine the configuration errors and then use the appropriate commands to
correct the configurations. When you have corrected all the configuration errors, all the hosts on the
network should be able to communicate with each other.
Figure 5-14 shows the topology diagram for this lab, and Table 5-7 shows interface, IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway (where applicable) information for all devices in the network.
