Configure Switch ES1-24p-1 for L3 Routing Using RIP

  1. Start the configuration with all ports and the default VLAN shutdown.

    Disable GVRP and GMRP.

    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# set gvrp disable
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# set gmrp disable
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# set port-channel enable
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 1
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no ip address
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface range extreme-ethernet 0/1-24
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if-range)# shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if-range)# end
  2. Create and enable port-channels between switches per the topology.

    See L2 and L3 Topology.

    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface port-channel 12
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface port-channel 13
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# end
  3. Configure VLANs manually.

    You must add at least one port to the VLAN before you can assign the VLAN a name.

    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# vlan 2003
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add port-channel 12 untagged port-channel 12 name 192_168_203_0_RIP_P2P
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# vlan 2004
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add port-channel 13 untagged port-channel 13 name 192_168_204_0_RIP_P2P
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# vlan 50
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/1 untagged extreme-ethernet 0/1 name 192_168_50_0_HOST_P2P
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# vlan 100
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/1 name access-layer-vlan-1
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# vlan 101
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/1 name access-layer-vlan-2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-vlan)# end
  4. Configure the port-channels as access links by setting the pvid and adding port-channels to VLANs.

    Also, disable spanning-tree on all uplinks.

    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface port-channel 12
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# switchport pvid 2003
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# spanning-tree disable
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface port-channel 13
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# switchport pvid 2004
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# spanning-tree disable
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# end
  5. Add the ports to the appropriate port-channels and enable the uplink interfaces to the aggregation switches.

    Configure the host port as an access link with a different VLAN.

    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/1
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# description "connected to eth1 Host-1"
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# switchport pvid 50
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/23
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# description "connected to ToR72p-1 on port67"
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# channel-group 12 mode active
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/21
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# description "connected to ToR72p-1 on port71"
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# channel-group 12 mode active
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/24
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# description "connected to ToR72p-2 on port68"
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# channel-group 13 mode active
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/22
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# description "connected to ToR72p-2 on port71"
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# channel-group 13 mode active
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# end
  6. Configure the L3 interface for all VLANs defined previously.
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 2003
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip address 192.168.203.20 255.255.255.0
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 2004
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip address 192.168.204.20 255.255.255.0
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 50
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip address 192.168.50.10 255.255.255.0
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 100
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip address 192.168.100.10 255.255.255.0
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 101
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip address 192.168.101.10 255.255.255.0
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# end
  7. Enable RIP, and advertise the networks that are reachable through this switch.
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# router rip
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-router)# version 2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-router)# auto-summary disable
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-router)# redistribute connected
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-router)# network 192.168.203.20
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-router)# network 192.168.204.20

    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-router)# network 192.168.100.10
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-router)# network 192.168.101.10
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-router)# end
  8. Enable the VLANs to send and receive RIP version 2 updates.
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 2003
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip send version 2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip receive version 2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 2004
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip send version 2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip receive version 2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit

    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip send version 2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip receive version 2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 100
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip send version 2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip receive version 2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 101
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip send version 2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# ip rip receive version 2
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# end
  9. Save the configuration.
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# copy run start
    Building configuration ...
    [OK]
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# 
  10. Verify the status of the interfaces.
    ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# show interface description
