The next step is to configure IP addresses on the access switches.
So access switch 1 needs to have an IP address of 10.1.1.1.
Show IP interface brief VLAN 1 is currently administratively down, interface VLAN 1 no shut it
interfaces come up IP address 10 111
/24. So show IP route notice IP routing is not enabled on this switch, show IP interface brief shows
us the IP address of the switch we can ping ourselves and hopefully we'll be able to ping the core
switches, which we can.
Now one thing we need to still configure on the switch is a default gateway so later on, I'll show you
how to configure an IP default gateway on these switches so that they can get to other VLANs.
On access 2
interface VLAN1, IP address 10 112/24 mask no shut the interface.
Can we ping core 1?
Yes, we can.
What about Core 2?
Yes, we can.
And let's have a look at access switch 3,
so on this switch
interface VLAN 1, IP address 10.1.1.3/24 mask, no shut save the config, can
we ping the two core switches?
Yes, we can.
So we've successfully completed our set of tasks, as a last step.
I suggest that you always save your configurations, so again go to every switch and every router in your
topology and save the configuration.
I would also do that in the exam make sure that you save your configs.
So there we go.
We've completed this set of tasks.
This is quite a difficult set of tasks.
Were you able to complete them all?
Make sure that you can before attempting your exam.
