Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings

In this part, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings on routers and switches to prepare for EIGRP implementation. Follow these steps to ensure all devices are cabled and configured correctly.

Step 1: Cable the Network

Connect the devices as shown in the topology:
- PC1 to D1 (G0/2)
- D1 (G0/0) to R1 (G0/0)
- R1 (G0/1) to R2 (G0/1)
- R2 (G0/2) to R3 (G0/2)
- R3 (G0/0) to D2 (G0/0)
- D1 (G0/1) to D2 (G0/1)
Use Ethernet cables as required.

Step 2: Configure Basic Device Settings

a. Console into each device, enter global configuration mode, and apply the settings below.

Router R1

hostname R1
interface g0/0
no ip address
no shutdown
exit
interface g0/0.1
encapsulation dot1q 1
ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
interface g0/0.2
encapsulation dot1q 2
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
interface g0/1
ip address 10.0.12.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
ip dhcp pool HOSTS
network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.1.1
exit
end

Router R2

hostname R2
interface g0/1
ip address 10.0.12.2 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
interface g0/2
ip address 10.0.23.2 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
end

Router R3

hostname R3
interface g0/2
ip address 10.0.23.3 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
interface g0/0
ip address 172.16.13.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
interface loopback 0
ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
end

Switch D1

hostname D1
vlan 2
name HOST-VLAN
exit
interface g0/1
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
no shutdown
exit
interface g0/0
switchport mode trunk
no shutdown
exit
interface g0/2
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 2
spanning-tree portfast
no shutdown
exit
end

Switch D2

hostname D2
interface g0/1
no switchport
ip address 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
interface g0/0
no switchport
ip address 172.16.13.2 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
end

b. Set the Clock

Set each device’s clock to UTC time

c. Save the running configuration to startup-config.

d. Verify that PC1 receives an address via DHCP.

e. Verify that PC1 can ping its default gateway.
