Cisco CCNA Lab Setup 1

Hello, Depends on what topic you are studying. If you are learning about switches ( which is a good place to start) make sure that you know the theory first, then you will need cross-over cables to connect the switches together to form trunks and straight thre cables to connect host to the switches for vlan testing...
to connect the routers together you will need serial dce/dte cables to connect the routers together through the serial interfaces....
the console cable connects to the console port on the router or switch and this will be used to initial configure the switch/router

surjitca,
You are going to need some WIC-1Ts or WIC-2Ts for serial connections for the 2610s and you will need a NM-4a/s or a NM-1E2W or NM-2E2W and a WIC-1T or WIC-2T so that you have Ethernet and WIC slots for the 3640. Since you have 4 network module slots for the 3640 you could get more then 1 network module!!
One thought since you have 2 2610s (just 10baseT Ethernet) you might want to look for a Fast Ethernet Network Module for the 3640 (they are not cheap) so that you can do router on a stick/VLAN routing with the 2924, yes you can do it with the 2610s with the right IOS but it would not hurt to get some practice with a Fast Ethernet interface!
To get good practice for the CCNA - you want the routers connected by serial interfaces to each other with the Ethernet ports connected to the switches, you will change the arrangement based on the labs you are doing!!!
Good luck and you need to check out the Cisco Certification forum here at Tek-Tips!!!

surjitca,
Cross over cables are about $3 - $5 on Ebay or just about any cable seller on the Internet.
If not, you CAN do VLANs and router-on-a-stick with the 2610s with the right IOS, in which case you can at least connect the routers to 2 of the switches. If you bought a CCNA lab that gave you switches AND 2610 routers, I would hope that you have the right IOS on them. I will have to look back over my notes and see if I can find where they added support for interVLAN routing on the 2610s.
Good luck!

I have 2 2900 switches & trying to delete vlan but giving me following error.
Switch1#sh vlan b
VLAN Name Status Ports
---- -------------------------------- ---------
10 VLAN0010 active Fa0/10, Fa0/11
How can I delete a vlan 10, when I issue a command it gives me following msg
"Switch1(config)#no int vlan 10
% Not all config may be removed and may reappear after reactivating the sub-inte
rface"
Switch1#sh vlan b
VLAN Name Status Ports
---- -------------------------------- ---------
10 VLAN0010 active Fa0/10, Fa0/11
How can I delete a vlan 10, when I issue a command it gives me following msg
"Switch1(config)#no int vlan 10
% Not all config may be removed and may reappear after reactivating the sub-inte
rface"
switch#sh flash
then it shows you vlan.dat
switch#delete flash:vlan.dat
That is how you get rid of the vlans---the vlan.dat is a separate file that gets written when implementing vlans, aside from the configuration (sh run).
Also, the interface should be clear of the vlan info when you
switch#no int vlan10
However, if the vlan is in the vlan database (like in a 2912/2924XL switch, or even a 2950), then you will have to
switch#vlan database
and get rid of them that way.
When you delete vlan.dat, it gets rid of all the vlans, though...post a sh run

woo hoo!! I deleted vlan, you were right, I went to vlan database then I was able to delete.
here is my sh run Switch1#sh run ARP type: AR
Thank You so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Current configuration:
!
version 12.0
no service pad
service timestamps debug uptime
service timestamps log uptime
no service password-encryption
!
hostname Switch1
!
enable password ccna
!
!
ip subnet-zero
!
!
interface FastEthernet0/1

Well, when you do
switch(config)#int vlan 10
switch(config-if)#no ip add
switch(config-if)#exit
switch(config)#no vlan 10
It will still give you the message, but you can still create a new svi, and the old vlan 10 will not be in the switch configuration, just vlan.dat.
In those layer 2 switches, this output you see is only for the layer 3 SVI that you create for management.

cisco 2600 no encapsulation in subif config mode
I'm trying to enable intervlan routing on a cisco 2610 using IOS 12.1(21)
when i create subinterface on a Ethernet Port
(I don't have Fastethernet Port) and try to enable dot1q encapsulation i get the following:
**********************
Router(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1q 1
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
Router(config-subif)#encap?
% Unrecognized command
does my version support that ?

You won't be able to trunk with an ethernet (10MBps) interface, unless you have the right image. You will need to max that router out, and I believe something like Advanced Security should do the trick. Truthfully, I would get a 2621, 2620 or a 2611XM. At least a 2620 with 16MB flash and 64MB DRAM. Also, please start another post each time you want to ask a different question, not relating to the original post. You may also want to post in this forum...

It would be cheaper to just get a 2620, 2650 or a 2610xm (like Burt said) to get the Fast Ethernet you really should have!!
Hope this helps!!
