Designing and Supporting Computer Networks

StadiumCompany Story The Discovery Designing and Supporting Computer Networks course uses the fictional StadiumCompany network upgrade story in the main text and media presentation and in Packet Tracer activities. StadiumCompany is a stadium management company that manages a large sports facility.

When the sports facility was built, the network that supported its business offices and security services provided state-of-the-art communications capabilities. Over the years, the company added new equipment and increased the number of connections without considering the overall business goals and long-term infrastructure design. Some projects went ahead without an understanding of the bandwidth, traffic prioritization, and other requirements needed to support this advanced and business-critical network. Now the StadiumCompany management wants to improve the customer experience by adding high-tech features and support for concerts, but the underlying network cannot support these additions. The StadiumCompany management understands that they do not have sufficient network expertise to support the network upgrade. The StadiumCompany decides to hire network consultants to provide design, project management, and implementation support. The project will be implemented in three phases. The first phase is to plan the project and prepare the high-level network design. The second phase is to develop the detailed network design. The third phase is to implement the design. After a few meetings, StadiumCompany hires the NetworkingCompany, a local network design and consulting firm to support the phase 1, high-level design. NetworkingCompany is a Cisco Premier Partner employing 20 network engineers who have various CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, CCDP, and CCIE certifications and significant industry experience. To create the high-level design, the NetworkingCompany first interviewed the staff at the stadium and developed a profile of the organization and the facility.

CCNA Discovery Designing and Supporting Computer Networks StadiumCompany Organization The StadiumCompany provides the network infrastructure and facilities at the stadium. The StadiumCompany has 170 full-time people:

35 managers and executives 135 salaried personnel

Approximately 80 additional hourly workers are hired as needed to support events in the facility and security departments.

Stadium Management Offices

StadiumCompany Phones and PCs All the managers and executives at the StadiumCompany use PCs and phones connected to a digital voice PBX. With the exception of the full-time grounds people and the janitors, all the salaried personnel also use PCs and phones. Fifty shared phones for the security staff are distributed throughout the stadium. There are also 12 analog phones, some that support faxes and others that provide direct access to the police and fire stations. The security group also has 30 security cameras implemented on a separate network.

Existing Facilities and Support The StadiumCompany provides facilities and network support for two sports teams (Team A and Team B), a visiting team, a restaurant, and a concessions vendor.


CCNA Discovery Designing and Supporting Computer Networks

The stadium is approximately 725 feet wide by 900 feet long (approximately 220 meters wide by 375 meters long). There are two levels. Because of the size of the facility, multiple wiring closets connected with fiber-optic cabling are distributed throughout the stadium. The Team A and Team B locker rooms and player lounges are on the first level of the south side of the stadium. The team offices are on the second level and measure 50 feet x 200 feet (approximately 15 meters wide by 60 meters long) The office and locker room of the visiting team are also located on the first level. StadiumCompany offices are in the north side of the stadium on both levels. The office space on the first level measures 200 feet x 60 feet (approximately 60 meters wide by 18 meters long), and measures 200 feet x 50 feet (approximately 60 meters wide by 15 meters long) on the second level. Team A and Team B are in different sports leagues with different seasons. They both contract with the StadiumCompany for offices and services at the stadium.

Team A Organization Team A has 90 people in the organization:

4 executives 12 coaches 14 support staff (including doctors, masseuse, secretary, assistants, finance and accounting) 60 players

Team A has 15 offices in the stadium to support their non-player staff. Five of these offices are shared. There are 24 PCs and 28 phones installed in the offices. Team A also has a player locker room and a large player lounge and workout room. The non-player staff uses the facility year round. Players have access to the locker room and workout equipment both during the season and


CCNA Discovery Designing and Supporting Computer Networks the off-season. There are 5 phones in the locker room, and 15 phones in the player lounge. There are rumors that Team A recently installed a wireless hub in the player lounge.

Team B Organization Team B has 64 people in the organization:

4 executives 8 coaches 12 support staff (including doctors, masseuse, secretary, assistants, finance and accounting) 40 players

Team B has 12 offices in the stadium to support their non-player staff. Three of the offices are shared. There are 19 PCs and 22 phones installed in the offices. They also have a player locker room and a large player lounge. The non-player staff uses the facility year round. Players have access to the locker room and workout equipment both during the season and the off season. There are 5 phones in the locker room, and 15 phones in the player lounge.

Visiting Team Support The visiting team locker room and lounge has 10 phones. Each visiting team requires temporary support on the game day and for a few days before the game. The visiting teams also contract with the StadiumCompany for office support and services at the stadium.

Concession Vendor A concession vendor manages the concessions provided at games and events. There are five full-time employees. They use two private and two shared offices with five PCs and seven phones. These offices are located on the south side of the stadium between the Team A and Team B office space. Two part-time employees take orders from the luxury boxes during events. The concession vendor uses seasonal hourly workers to support 32 permanent concession stands and other services distributed throughout the stadium. At this time, there are no phones or PCs in the concession areas.

Luxury Restaurant Organization There is one luxury restaurant at the stadium that is open year round. In addition to the customer and kitchen areas, the restaurant contracts for office space from the StadiumCompany. The four managers have private offices. The two salaried financial and accounting staff share an office. Six PCs and phones are supported. Two additional phones are used for reservations in the customer area.



Luxury Skybox Support There are 20 luxury skyboxes. The StadiumCompany provides a phone in each skybox that supports local calls and calls to the luxury restaurant and the concession vendor.

Press Area Support The StadiumCompany provides a press box with three shared areas: The press print area typically houses 40 to 50 reporters during a game. There are 10 analog phones available

in this shared area, and two shared data ports. It is known that one newspaper intern brings in a small wireless Access Point for games that she covers.

The press radio area supports 15 to 20 radio announcers and has 10 analog phone lines. The press TV area typically supports 10 people. There are five phones available here.

Remote Site Support The StadiumCompany currently has two remote locations: a ticketing office located in the downtown area, and a souvenir shop in a local shopping mall. The remote locations are connected using DSL service to a local Internet service provider (ISP).



The stadium is connected to the local ISP using ISP1, a managed services router owned by the ISP. The two remote sites have a connection to the same ISP supported by the ISP2 and ISP3 routers provisioned and managed by the ISP. This connection provides the remote sites access to the databases located on servers in the StadiumCompany management offices. The StadiumCompany also has a perimeter router named Edge Router that connects to the ISP1 router at the stadium.

StadiumCompany Plans The StadiumCompany wants to add new services, such as video, to their network. They are also thinking about replacing the existing digital voice PBX. They would like better access to their existing security camera network. Two new remote sites are planned in the near future: A film production company that has been hired to provide video during and after the sporting events and

concerts needs to connect to the stadium network to exchange files. Team A is expanding to a remote office location. They are requesting access to the same network resources

that they use on the stadium LAN.

1.3.2 Investigating Failure Domains

Objective a. Observe the flow of network traffic in different topologies. b. Observe the change of flow in network traffic when a point of failure is introduced into the network.

Background / Preparation This activity has three different topologies: a partial mesh, a star, and a full mesh. When this activity is started, you will need to allow time for each network topology to converge. This may take several minutes. Once the networks have converged, you will note the following:

a. The partial mesh topology will have one link light on the PM4 switch that remains amber. b. The star topology will have all the link lights green. c. The full mesh topology will have three link lights amber; one on the FM1 switch and two on the FM3

switch. In the partial mesh and full mesh topology the network has redundant links. However, in order to avoid switching loops some of the links have been shutdown as noted by the amber link light. Note that the star topology does not have redundant links between switches. Why are all of the link lights green in this topology?

___________________________________________________________________________


CCNA Discovery


Good Distribution Layer design can limit the parts of the network that are affected by a network failure. The failure of a single device should not cause the network to go down. In this activity you will observe the flow of the network traffic in each topology. Then you will introduce a point of failure in each network topology by deleting a trunk link between two switches. Once the link is removed, you will need to allow time for the network to re-converge. After the network has re-converged, you will again observe the flow of traffic and note how the network failure affected the flow of traffic. Step 1: Observe the flow of traffic on the partial mesh topology

a. Once the network has converged, enter simulation mode by clicking the Simulation tab. b. By default, Scenario 0 should be displayed in the Scenario window. Click the Auto Capture/Play button

and observe the flow of traffic from PM3B to PM4B. c. When the Buffer Full window appears, click Clear Event List. d. Click the Reset Simulation button.

Step 2: Introduce a point of failure on the partial mesh topology

a. Delete the trunk link between PM2 and PM4. b. Change to simulation mode by clicking the Simulation tab. c. Play Scenario 0 again by clicking the Auto Capture/ Play button and observe the flow of traffic from

PMB to PM4B. d. When the Buffer Full window appears, click Clear Event List. e. Click the Reset Simulation button.

Step 3: Observe the flow of traffic on the star topology

a. Click the dropdown arrow to the Scenario window and select Scenario 1. b. Play Scenario 1 by clicking the Auto Capture/ Play button and observe the flow of traffic from S2A to

S4B. c. Click Clear Event List when the Buffer Full window appears and click the Reset Simulation button.

Step 4: Introduce a point of failure on the star topology

a. Delete the trunk link between Star1 and Star2. b. Since the star topology has no redundant links, the network will not need to re-converge. c. Play Scenario 1 again and observe the flow of traffic from S2A to S4B. d. Click Clear Event List when the Buffer Full window appears and click the Reset Simulation button.

Step 5: Observe the flow of traffic on the full mesh topology

a. Click the dropdown arrow to the Scenario window and select Scenario 2. b. Play Scenario 2 by clicking the Auto Capture / Play button and observe the flow of traffic from FM1A to

FM3B. c. Click Clear Event List when the Buffer Full window appears and click the Reset Simulation button.

Step 6: Introduce a point of failure on the full mesh topology

a. Delete the trunk link between FM2 and FM3. b. Switch to the Realtime mode. c. Allow time for the network to converge. (This may take several minutes.) d. Play Scenario 2 again and observe the flow of traffic from FM1A to FM3B. e. Click Clear Event List when the Buffer Full window appears and click the Reset Simulation button.

CCNA Discovery



Background / Preparation This activity demonstrates how the flow of network traffic is affected by applying an ACL to permit or deny traffic in the network. The network administrator has decided that all external web traffic goes only to the Web server. Also, in order to protect the data of their employees, the HR server is only accessible by HR employees. Therefore, ACLs will need to be implemented on the network. Another network technician has already configured the necessary ACLs on both the Gateway and Distribution2 routers. However, the ACLs have not been applied to an interface. You have been asked to apply the ACLs and verify that the appropriate traffic is permitted or denied. Step 1: Verify network connectivity

a. Verify that all of the PCs can communicate with each other and with the servers. b. Verify that the Internet Host can access the Web server (192.168.0.3), Sales server (192.168.10.2) and

HR server (192.168.40.2) using the browser. Step 2: Examine the Access Control Lists that are configured on the routers

a. Access the Distribution2 router. Use the following commands to view the ACL that has been configured on the Distribution2 router:

show running-config show access-lists 1

b. Access the Gateway router. Use the following commands to view the ACL that has been configured on the Gateway router:

show running-config show access-lists 100

Step 3: Determine the appropriate interface to apply the ACLs

a. After examining the ACLs, determine on which interface the ACLs should be applied. b. The ACL must be applied to an interface or subinterface before it will affect the network traffic. c. The extended ACL should be placed closest to the source and the standard ACL should be closest to the

destination. d. Remember that only one ACL per port, per protocol, per direction is allowed. e. Apply the ACL to the appropriate interface or subinterface. f. Your completion percentage should be 100%. If not, click Check Results to see which required

components are not yet completed. Step 4: Examine the effects of the ACLs

a. Internet Host should be able to ping any device in the network, except HR1 or HR server. b. Internet Host should be able to access Web server (192.168.0.3) using the browser. c. Internet Host should not be able to access either the HR server (192.168.40.1) or Sales server

(192.168.10.2) using the browser. d. HR2 should be able to access HR server (192.168.40.1) using ping or the browser. e. RandD2 should not be able to access HR server (192.168.40.1) using ping or the browser.

1.5.3 Using Redundant Links on Server Farm Devices Objective

Determine how redundancy affects server availability.

Background / Preparation The physical topology of the first network (Topology 1) has been designed without redundancy. To test the fault tolerance of the network, links should be removed to test the effect on the network and to determine if the network can recover from the removed link. The physical topology of the second network (Topology 2) has been designed and redundancy has been incorporated into the design. To test the fault tolerance of the network, links should be removed to test the effect on the network and to determine if the network can recover from the downed link. Step 1: Examine the network and the status of the links in Topology 1

a. Examine Topology 1. b. View the network and the active links within the network. c. Note which links are active and which links are blocked. d. Open PC1-A. At the command prompt, enter a command to send 100 ICMP requests to Server Web-A.

The command format is ping n 100 192.168.2.3.

Step 2: Test single point of failure in network without redundancy a. Since switches do not have power buttons, delete the link between Router-A and switch Server-A.

1. Click the red X located in the right panel of the Packet Tracer screen. 2. Click the cable between Router-A and switch Server-A.

b. View the network and note the active links within the topology. c. There is no network redundancy and therefore a single point of failure within the network. There is no

longer a route to the servers.



Step 3: Examine the network and the status of the links in Topology 2

a. Examine Topology 2. b. View the network and note the active links within the topology. c. Open PC1-B. At the command prompt, enter a command to send 100 ICMP requests to Server Web-A.

The command format is ping n 100 192.168.4.3. d. Open PC2-B. At the command prompt, enter a command to send 100 ICMP requests to Server

Marketing-B. The command format is ping n 100 192.168.4.6. Step 4: Test network redundancy

a. Delete the link between switch Server1-B and switch Server2-B. 1. Click the red X located in the right panel of the Packet Tracer screen. 2. Click the cross-over cable between switch Server1 and switch Server2.

b. View the network and note the active links within the topology. c. Spanning Tree should recalculate and automatically begin using the alternate links. d. Delete the link between switch Server3-B and switch Server5-B.

1. Click the red X located in the right panel of the Packet Tracer screen. 2. Click the cross-over cable between switch Server3-B and switch Server5-B.

e. View the network and note the active links within the topology. f. The topology should reconfigure and automatically begin using the alternative links.

3.1.1 Investigating Existing Network Devices

Objective

Use router and switch commands to obtain information about an existing network.

Background / Preparation You have been given the task of documenting a large campus network. When you arrive at the site you discover that the network administrator is not available and he has the only keys to the wiring closets and the cabinets containing the existing network documentation. Since information on the network is needed as soon as possible, you decide to discover as much information as possible using router and switch commands.

You are given access to the administrators PC and are told that the Telnet access password for all devices is cisco and the password to enter privileged exec mode is class.

Step 1: Discover and document the first device. a. Access the Admin PC and issue the ipconfig command from the command prompt to discover the

default gateway.

b. Telnet to the IP address of the gateway device and enter privileged exec mode using the passwords given above.

c. Issue IOS commands such as show running-config, show ip route, show interfaces, show ip interface brief, show version and other commands to learn about the device.

d. Issue IOS commands such as show cdp neighbors and show cdp neighbors detail to discover information about connected devices. It may take a few minutes for the network to converge. If you do not see any neighboring devices initially, repeat the commands until you do.

e. Document the information you gather in the appropriate table below.

f. Close the Telnet session by issuing the exit command.

Step 2: Discover the remaining devices. a. Packet Tracer works best when you successfully ping a device before attempting to Telnet to it.

Issue the ping command to the IP address of one of the devices you discovered in Step 1. Repeat the ping command until it succeeds.

b. Telnet to the IP address of the device and repeat the process in Step 1 to document the device.

c. Do not overuse the resources of Packet Tracer, do not Telnet from device to device. Always exit to the command prompt before accessing the next device.

d. Repeat the process until all devices in the network are discovered and documented.

3.4.3 Placing Wireless Access Points

Objective

Use available tools to perform a wireless site survey.

Background / Preparation A wireless network consists of one or more wireless access points to provide coverage for wireless clients in an office environment. The goal of the site survey is to find the optimal number and placement of access points to provide coverage where it is needed and, for security reasons, to minimize coverage where it is not needed. We will use the tools available in Packet Tracer to simulate a site survey of a one story office building with two access points installed in the ceiling.

The Linksys WRT300N wireless access routers are used to simulate access points installed in the ceiling, a PC with a Linksys WMP300N interface installed is used to simulate a laptop computer with wireless capability.

Objective

Design and diagram the Distribution Layer topology to support given network business and technical requirements.

640-802 CCNA Exam Objectives

This activity contains skills that relate to the following CCNA exam objectives:

Select the components required to meet a network specification. Select the appropriate media, cables, ports, and connectors to connect switches to other network

devices and hosts. Describe enhanced switching technologies (including: VTP, RSTP, VLAN, PVSTP, 802.1q).



Expected Results and Success Criteria

a. Before beginning this activity, read through the tasks you are expected to perform. What do you expect the result of performing these tasks will be?

____________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________

c. Why is Spanning Tree Protocol necessary where there are redundant links?

____________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________

Background / Preparation Equipment installed at the Network Distribution Layer usually consists of multi-layer, modular switches that connect to Layer 2 Access Layer switches through redundant links. These Distribution Layer switches then connect to Core Layer devices, also through redundant links. Spanning Tree Protocol allows these redundant connections without the problems associated with switching loops.

Packet Tracer only supports devices typically found in the CCNA academy lab bundle, not the type of switches typically used at the Network Distribution Layer. We will use regular Layer 2 switches to represent these switches as we connect the redundant links between the Access and Distribution Layer switches and observe the operation of Spanning Tree Protocol.

Step 1: Connect the Access Layer switches to the Distribution Layer switches. a. Using the proper cables, connect the first interface on switch Access1 to the first interface on switch

Distribution1 and the second interface on switch Access1 to the first interface on switch Distribution2.

b. Using the proper cables, connect the first interface on switch Access2 to the second interface on switch Distribution1 and the second interface on switch Access2 to the second interface on switch Distribution2.

c. Using the proper cables, connect the first interface on switch Access3 to the third interface on switch Distribution1 and the second interface on switch Access3 to the third interface on switch Distribution2.

d. Using the proper cables, connect the first interface on switch Access4 to the fourth interface on switch Distribution1 and the second interface on switch Access4 to the fourth interface on switch Distribution2.

e. Your completion percentage should be 100%. If not, click Check Results to see which required components are not yet completed.



Step 2: Observe the operation of Spanning Tree Protocol.

a. Wait a few minutes for Spanning Tree Protocol to open up forwarding ports that are indicated by the green link lights. The ports whose link lights remain orange are blocked by Spanning Tree Protocol.

b. Observe which ports are blocked. Enter Simulation mode to verify that packets from any switch can be sent to every other switch in the network. Be sure that all events are visible in the Event List, then click Auto Capture / Play.

Step 3: Reflection a. Why do you think Spanning Tree Protocol blocked the links that it did?

5.5.3 Implementing Access Control Lists

Objective

Test basic connectivity. Create and apply an Access Control List (ACL). Verify the application of the ACL.

Background / Preparation As part of an IT staff, you have been asked to work with the network designer to define the firewall rule set to be implemented in the new network design. The firewall rule set dictates the exact types of network activity permitted. As the designer of a network, you are responsible for the first line of security on the network. The security policies will dictate which users and groups are permitted access to what resources, and what type of access is denied. When designing firewall rule sets and access control lists, the general policy is to deny all traffic that is either not specifically authorized or is not in response to a permitted inquiry. Each firewall rule set may require more than one ACL statement and may require both inbound and outbound placement. In this scenario, you will be creating a sampling of ACLs that might be applied in a firewall rule set.

Step 1: Verify network connectivity a. Start this activity in Realtime mode.

b. Observe the link lights on the connections. Before testing basic connectivity all links should be green.

c. Verify that both PC devices can communicate with each other by using the command prompt on the PCs to ping all end devices (PCs and servers).

d. Verify that each PC can view the web pages of both servers.

Step 2: Create the Access Control Lists that will be configured on the Edge1 router NOTE: There are many possible ways to write an ACL and the true test is does it work or not. However, for the purpose of this activity there is a specific way that the ACL must be written to show 100% Completion. Special considerations:

Use any instead of 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255. Use the name of the port rather than the number (ex. www instead of 80). Use 100 to identify the ACL.
