    Configuring VTP Transparent Mode on Cisco Catalyst Switches

    Objective

    The objective of this lab exercise is to learn and understand how to configure VTP Transparent mode on Cisco Catalyst Switches. By default, all Cisco switches are VTP server devices.

    Purpose

    Configuring VTP Transparent mode is a fundamental skill. VLANs configured on a switch in VTP Transparent mode are not automatically propagated to other switches within the same VTP domain as they would be by a VTP server. Switches configured in VTP Transparent mode use a trunk to forward traffic for configured VLANs to other switches. As a Cisco engineer, and for the Cisco CCNA exam, you will be expected to know how to configure VTP Transparent mode.

    Lab Topology

    Use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:

    Router Setup 1

    Task 1: Configure Hostname

    Objective: Configure a hostname on switches 1 and 2 and routers 1 and 3 as illustrated in the topology.

    Configuration Steps:

    Switch#config t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CTRL/Z.
    Switch(config)#hostname SW1
    SW1(config)#
    
    Switch#config t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CTRL/Z.
    Switch(config)#hostname SW2
    SW2(config)#
    
    Router#config t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CTRL/Z.
    Router(config)#hostname R1
    R1(config)#
    
    Router#config t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CTRL/Z.
    Router(config)#hostname R3
    R3(config)#

    Task 2: Configure VTP Transparent Mode

    Objective: Configure and verify SW1 and SW2 in VTP Transparent mode. Both switches should be in the VTP domain named CISCO. Switches must be in the same VTP domain to share VLAN information via a trunk.

    Configuration Steps:

    SW1#config t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CTRL/Z.
    SW1(config)#vtp mode transparent
    Setting device to VTP TRANSPARENT mode.
    SW1(config)#vtp domain CISCO
    Changing VTP domain name from NULL to CISCO
    SW1(config)#end

    Task 3: Configure 802.1Q Trunk

    Objective: Configure and verify FastEthernet0/1 between SW1 and SW2 as an 802.1Q trunk.

    Note: Some Cisco switches default to 802.1Q trunking, but this is not the case for the 2960 Switch used in the exam.

    Verification Commands:

    SW1#config t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CTRL/Z.
    SW1(config)#interface fastethernet0/1
    SW1(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
    
    SW2#config t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CTRL/Z.
    SW2(config)#interface fastethernet0/1
    SW2(config-if)#switchport mode trunk

    Task 4: Configure and Verify VLANs

    Objective: Configure and verify VLANs 10 and 30 on SW1 with the provided names. Assign FastEthernet0/2 on SW1 to VLAN 10 as an access port. Configure and verify VLANs 10 and 40 on SW2 with the provided names. Assign FastEthernet0/2 on SW2 to VLAN 10 as an access port.

    Verification Commands:

    SW1#config t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CTRL/Z.

    SW2#copy running-config startup-config

    Note: Default switches configured for VTP Transparent mode do not exchange VLAN information. You can see in the output above that VLAN 30 on SW1 is not propagated to SW2, and VLAN 40 on SW2 is not propagated to SW1. In Transparent mode, all VLANs must be manually configured on all switches.


    Task 5: Configure and Verify IP Addresses

    Objective: Configure R1 and R3 FastEthernet interfaces with the IP addresses 10.0.0.1/28 and 10.0.0.3/28, respectively. Test VLAN connectivity by pinging between R1 and R3.

    Verification Commands:

    R1#config t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CTRL/Z.
    R1(config)#interface fastethernet0/0
    R1(config-if)#ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.240
    R1(config-if)#no shutdown
    R1(config-if)#end
    R1#copy running-config startup-config
    
    R3#config t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CTRL/Z.
