Configure IP Addressing on Router
- Configure the following IP addresses on R1’s interfaces and enable them (remember that router interfaces are shut down by default):
a. G0/0/0: DHCP client
b. G0/1/0: DHCP client
c. G0/0: 10.0.0.33/30
d. G0/1: 10.0.0.37/30
e. Loopback0: 10.0.0.76/32

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
CSW1(config)#ip routing
- Create a Layer-3 EtherChannel between CSW1 and CSW2 using a Cisco-proprietary protocol. Both switches should actively try to form an EtherChannel. Configure the following IP addresses:
a. CSW1 PortChannel1: 10.0.0.41/30
b. CSW2 PortChannel1: 10.0.0.42/30
Confirm the interfaces needed for the port channel with cdp:
CSW1(config)#do sh cdp nei

Select the interfaces, make them routed ports with no switchport, and enable the EtherChannel for PaGP with mode desirable:
CSW1(config)#int range g1/0/2-3
CSW1(config-if-range)#no switchport
CSW1(config-if-range)#channel-group 1 mode desirable
Configure an IP Address on the Port Channel:
CSW1(config-if-range)#int po1
CSW1(config-if)#ip add 10.0.0.41 255.255.255.252
Configure CSW2:

CSW2(config-if-range)#int port-channel 1
CSW2(config-if)#ip add 10.0.0.42 255.255.255.252
Check the status of the Ether Channel:
CSW2(config-if)#do sh etherchannel summary

Configure IP Addressing on Switch Ports
- Configure the following management IP addresses on the Access switches (interface VLAN 99), and configure the appropriate subnet’s first usable address as the default gateway.
a. ASW-A1: 10.0.0.4/28
b. ASW-A2: 10.0.0.5/28
c. ASW-A3: 10.0.0.6/28

e. ASW-B2: 10.0.0.21/28
f. ASW-B3: 10.0.0.22/28
Set for all of the access switches like such:
ASW-A1(config)#ip default-gateway 10.0.0.1
ASW-A1(config)#interface vlan 99
ASW-A1(config-if)#ip add 10.0.0.4 255.255.255.240
ASW-A1(config-if)#do wr
Configure HSRP
- Configure HSRPv2 group 1 for Office A’s Management subnet (VLAN 99). Make DSW-A1 the Active router by increasing its priority to 5 above the default, and enable preemption on DSW-A1.
a. Subnet: 10.0.0.0/28
b. VIP: 10.0.0.1
c. DSW-A1: 10.0.0.2
d. DSW-A2: 10.0.0.3
Configure DSW-A1
DSW-A1(config-if)#int vlan 99
DSW-A1(config-if)#ip add 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.240
DSW-A1(config-if)#standby ver 2
DSW-A1(config-if)#standby 1 ip 10.0.0.1
DSW-A1(config-if)#
%HSRP-6-STATECHANGE: Vlan99 Grp 1 state Init -> Init
DSW-A1(config-if)#standby 1 priority 105
DSW-A1(config-if)#standby 1 preempt
DSW-A1(config-if)#
%HSRP-6-STATECHANGE: Vlan99 Grp 1 state Speak -> Standby
%HSRP-6-STATECHANGE: Vlan99 Grp 1 state Standby -> Active
The preempt command above was used so that the switch will always be the active switch as long as it is up and running. Increasing the priority ensured that DSW-A1 becomes the Active router.
Configure DSW-A2
DSW-A2(config-if)#int vlan 99
DSW-A2(config-if)#ip add 10.0.0.3 255.255.255.240
DSW-A2(config-if)#standby ver 2
DSW-A2(config-if)#standby 1 ip 10.0.0.1
DSW-A2(config-if)#
%HSRP-6-STATECHANGE: Vlan99 Grp 1 state Init -> Init
DSW-A2(config-if)#
%HSRP-6-STATECHANGE: Vlan99 Grp 1 state Speak -> Standby
We can leave A2 at the default priority since we already raised DSW-A1’s priority. There’s no need to configure preemption on the standby router, although you can use the command if you want to – it won’t do any harm.
- Configure HSRPv2 group 2 for Office A’s PCs subnet (VLAN 10). Make DSW-A1 the Active router by increasing its priority to 5 above the default (which is 100), and enable preemption on DSW-A1.
