IEWB-RS Lab 14
Difficulty Rating (10 highest): 10
Lab Overview:
The following scenario is a practice lab exam designed to test your skills at
configuring Cisco networking devices. Specifically, this scenario is designed to
assist you in your preparation for Cisco Systems CCIE Routing and Switching
Lab exam. However, remember that in addition to being designed as a
simulation of the actual CCIE lab exam, this practice lab should be used as a
learning tool. Instead of rushing through the lab in order to complete all the
configuration steps, take the time to research the networking technology in
question and gain a deeper understanding of the principles behind its operation.
Lab Instructions:
Prior to starting, ensure that the initial configuration scripts for this lab have been
applied. For a current copy of these scripts, see the Internetwork Expert
members site at http://members.internetworkexpert.com
Refer to the attached diagrams for interface and protocol assignments. Any
reference to X in an IP address refers to your rack number, while any reference
to Y in an IP address refers to your router number.
Upon completion, all devices should have full IP reachability to all networks in the
routing domain, including any networks generated by the backbone routers
unless explicitly specified.
Lab Do s and Don ts:
" Do not change or add any IP addresses from the initial configuration
unless otherwise specified
" Do not change any interface encapsulations unless otherwise specified
" Do not change the console, AUX, and VTY passwords or access methods
unless otherwise specified
" Do not use any static routes, default routes, default networks, or policy
routing unless otherwise specified
" Save your configurations often

CCIE Routing & Switching Lab Workbook Version 4.0 Lab 14
1. Troubleshooting
" There are three issues with the initial configurations.
" Each issue is worth one point.
" These issues will need to the solved prior to completion of this lab.
2. Bridging & Switching
2.1. Initial Configuration
" All devices have reachability to their directly connected Ethernet
neighboring devices with the exception of R4 to BB2 and R4 to SW4.
" Use SW2 interface Fa0/20 and SW4 interface Fa0/17 to allow
communication between R4 and BB2.
" Use SW2 interface Fa0/21 and SW4 interface Fa0/18 to allow
communication between R4 and SW4.
" Do not using dot1q or ISL encapsulation for this task.
3 Points
2.2. EtherChannel
" Configure an EtherChannel between SW1 s interface Fa0/15 and SW2 s
interface Fa0/15.
" Do not run either PAgP or LACP on these interfaces.
" Use the IP addressing and Port-channel numbering from the diagram.
2 Points
2.3. Packet Sniffing
" Users in VLAN 1011 have been reporting slow network response time,
however you have not been able to track down the problem. In order to
collect more information regarding the issue a Mac OS X host running
tcpdump has been connected to port Fa0/12 of SW1.
" Configure SW1 so that all traffic received in VLAN 1011 is redirected to
this host.

CCIE Routing & Switching Lab Workbook Version 4.0 Lab 14
2.4. Configuration Management
" In order to protect against network downtime your operations team has
implemented a new policy which dictates that the current running
configuration of SW1 must be archived in flash before any changed are
made. Therefore this file can be used as a reference against any newer
configurations that cause problems in the future.
" This backup of the configuration should be stored in the archive directory
and use the name backup.config.
" In order to make this process as simple as possible configure SW1 so that
when your level 1 administrators run the command backup it automatically
runs this process for them.
" Additionally in order to minimize downtime in the event of a software crash
due to faulty configuration changes configure SW1 to load the archived
backup configuration created upon the next bootup.
3 Points
2.5. Traffic Filtering
" In an effort to increase security the network administrator has requested
that SW1 s port Fa0/5 be configured to only accept traffic from the MAC
address 0000.0c12.3456.
" Configure SW1 to reflect this request, but do not use the command
switchport port-security mac-address 0000.0c12.3456 to accomplish
this.
3 Points
2.6. Spanning Tree
" Disable spanning tree for VLAN 1363 on SW3.
" Ensure that this does not create a spanning tree loop with SW4 since
SW3 and SW4 are connected using two interfaces in VLAN 1363.
" Use the minimal configuration needed on SW4 s interface Fa0/20 to
accomplish this task without using the shutdown command.

3. WAN Technologies
3.1. Hub-and-Spoke
" Using only physical interfaces configure a Frame Relay hub-and-spoke
network between R1, R3, and R5 with R3 as the hub.
" Traffic from R1 destined for R5 should transit R3, and vice versa.
" Use only the DLCIs specified in the diagram.
" Do not use any dynamic layer 3 to layer 2 mappings over these Frame
Relay connections.
" Do not send any redundant broadcast traffic from the spokes to the hub.
2 Points
3.2. Point-to-Point
" Configure a Frame Relay point-to-point network between R3 and R4.
" R3 should use a point-to-point subinterface numbered .34 for this Frame
Relay connection.
" Do not use subinterfaces on R4.
" Use only the DLCIs specified in the diagram.
" Do not use any dynamic 3 to layer 2 mappings over these Frame Relay
connections.
2 Points
3.3. Point-to-Point
" Configure R6 to match the highlighted output below:
Rack1R6#show frame-relay map
Serial0/0/0 (up): ip 54.1.1.254 dlci 101(0x65,0x1850), static,
broadcast,
CISCO, status defined, active

CCIE Routing & Switching Lab Workbook Version 4.0 Lab 14
3.4. WAN Addressing
" Configure R4 and R5 s Serial interfaces to use the IP addresses
167.X.45.4/32 and 167.X.45.5/32 respectively.
" Ensure that R4 and R5 can ping each other s Serial interfaces.
" The creation of additional interfaces is permitted for this task.
" Do not use static routing to accomplish this.
2 Points
4. Interior Gateway Routing
4.1. RIP
" Configure RIPv2 on R4 on the Ethernet segment connecting to BB2.
" RIP updates received on this interface should be authenticated with a
secure hash value of the password CISCO.
" Recently you have been getting complaints from users about reachability
problems to prefixes learned from BB2. After consulting with the
administrators of BB2 it appears that your RIP updates are getting
periodically lost when sent over VLAN 42. Coincidentally you seem to
remember a recent issue with the Catalyst switch not forwarding multicast
packets as it should. In order to see if this is in fact the problem configure
R4 so that RIP packets are sent as a broadcast instead of a multicast as
they go out to BB2.

4.2. OSPF
" There have been recent talks about your network merging with another
network from a different business unit within your company. Since this
other unit already runs OSPF as their IGP you have advised against
running an OSPF area 0 in your portion of the network. In order to
prevent a migration problem you have instead decided to use OSPF area
2578.
" Configure OSPF area 2578 on all interfaces in the transit path between
R2, R5, SW1 and SW2.
" Advertise the Loopback 0 interfaces of R2 and R5 into OSPF area 2578.
" Ensure that these networks appear with a subnet mask of /24 throughout
your network.
3 Points
4.3. OSPF
" One of your concerns about this migration is sub-optimal routing due to
link speeds higher than 100Mbps in your network. In response to this the
other business unit has agreed that the layer 3 EtherChannel between
SW1 and SW2 should be seen with a cost of 10.
" Configure your network to reflect this policy.
" Ensure that all other link costs are automatically updated accordingly.
2 Points
4.4. EIGRP
" Configure EIGRP AS 10 on R1, R3, R4, R5, and R6.
" Enable EIGRP on the Frame Relay network between R3 & R4.
" Enable EIGRP on the Serial links between R1 & R3 and R4 & R5.
" Advertise the Loopback0 networks of R1, R3, and R4 into EIGRP.
" Do not allow EIGRP to use more than 384Kbps of the 1.536Mbps T1 link
between R4 and R5.
2 Points

CCIE Routing & Switching Lab Workbook Version 4.0 Lab 14
4.5. EIGRP
" Configure EIGRP on VLAN 1363 between R1, R3, and R6.
" Do not allow BB3 to intercept EIGRP updates coming from any of these
devices.
" Do not use the neighbor command to accomplish this.
" Advertise the Loopback0 network of R6 into EIGRP.
3 Points
4.6. EIGRP
" Enable EIGRP on the Frame Relay network between R1, R3, & R5.
" Authenticate the EIGRP adjacency between R1 & R3 with the MD5
hashed password CISCO13.
" Authenticate the EIGRP adjacency between R3 & R5 with the MD5
hashed password CISCO35.
2 Points
4.7. EIGRP
" Recently you have noticed some inconsistencies in the EIGRP topology of
various devices throughout the network. After looking into this issue
further you have discovered that R1 is low on memory and has not been
computing DUAL correctly. Until the exact cause of this problem can be
located configure R1 so that it can only be used to reach networks which
are directly connected to it.
2 Points
4.8. IGP Redistribution
" Redistribute between EIGRP and RIP on R4.
" Since R5 is the only place where EIGRP and OSPF meet there is no
reason for these domains to have specific reachability information about
each other. Configure R5 to generate a default route into both the OSPF
and EIGRP domains.

5. Exterior Gateway Routing
5.1. BGP Peering
" Configure BGP AS 100 on R1, R3, R4, R5, and R6.
" Configure BGP AS 65078 on SW1 and SW2.
" Configure BGP peerings between SW1 & SW2, SW2 & R5, R6 & BB1, R6
& BB3, R1 & BB3, and R3 & BB3.
1 Point
5.2. BGP Peering
" In order to reduce the amount of iBGP peering sessions that need to be
maintained within AS 100 R3 has been chosen as a central point of
distribution for all iBGP learned routes. Your design team has notified you
that additional devices will be added to your BGP network within the near
future. These devices will be assigned the Loopback 0 addresses of
150.X.9.9 and 150.X.10.10. In order to ease in the integration of these
and future devices into your BGP domain, the design team has suggested
that you configure all iBGP peers of R3 (R1, R4, R5, & R6) in the peer
group iBGP. Members of this group should all share the following
attributes:
o remote-as 100
o route-reflector-clients
o send-community
o update-source Loopback 0
" In order to prepare for the upcoming additions to R3 s iBGP peers
configure these new devices as part of the peer group, however do not
allow R3 to attempt to initiate the BGP session.

CCIE Routing & Switching Lab Workbook Version 4.0 Lab 14
5.3. BGP Peering
" R4 has recently been acquired from AS 200, however its upstream peer in
AS 254 has not yet updated its BGP configuration. In the meantime
configure R4 to peer with BB2 in such a way that BB2 thinks R4 is in AS
200.
" This adjacency should be authenticated with an MD5 hash value of the
password CISCO.
2 Points
5.4. AS-Path Manipulation
" Soon after implementing this quick fix you received a call from an engineer
from AS 200 who stated that they have lost reachability to AS 254. After
working together on the problem you and this engineer have realized that
routes you are learning from AS 254 are getting prepended with AS 200 in
the AS-Path, and are subsequently getting dropped when entering AS 200
downstream. Configure your network to resolve this problem.
2 Points
5.5. BGP Bestpath Selection
" Advertise VLANs 4 and 5 into BGP.
" Traffic from AS 54 destined to these prefixes should come in the Frame
Relay link between R6 and BB1.
" Traffic for these prefixes should only come in from BB3 if the link between
R6 and BB1 is down.
2 Points
5.6. BGP Summarization
" Advertise the Loopback0 networks of SW1 and SW2 into BGP.
" Routers outside of AS 65078 should only see one route to these prefixes.

CCIE Routing & Switching Lab Workbook Version 4.0 Lab 14
5.7. AS-Path Manipulation
" Since SW1 and SW2 s only connection to the rest of the network is
through AS 100 administrators of SW1 and SW2 have decided not to
apply for their own BGP AS number. Instead AS 100 has assigned them
the locally significant AS number of 65078. However since this is not a
valid public AS number it cannot be leaked out onto the Internet.
" Configure your network so that AS 65078 is stripped out of the AS path
when updates are sent to AS 100 s upstream peers.
2 Points
5.8. BGP Route Injection
" Due to AS 65078 s aggregation policy AS 100 cannot implement a
detailed ingress traffic engineering policy. Despite requests from your
network team for AS 65078 to stop this aggregation they have continued
to do so. In response to this your network team has had no choice but to
manually re-inject the prefixes which AS 65078 has aggregated.
" Configure your network so that traffic for SW1 s loopback enters the
Frame Relay link between R6 and BB1.
" Additionally all traffic for SW2 s loopback should enter the Ethernet
segment between R3 and BB3.
" Ensure that all other routers throughout your domain only have the
aggregate block for this address space that AS 65078 has originated.

6. Multicast
6.1. PIM
" Configure IP Multicast routing on R3, R4, and R5.
" Enable PIM in sparse-mode on VLANs 4, 5, and 1363.
" Configure PIM in sparse-mode on the Frame Relay segments between R3
& R4 and R3 & R5, and the Serial link between R4 and R5.
2 Points
6.2. RP Assignments
" Configure R4 as the RP for all multicast groups throughout your network.
" Recently you read of a multicast network attack in which rogue hosts were
injecting false Auto-RP messages into the PIM domain. Configure your
network so that R4 s RP assignment cannot be preempted by any Auto-
RP learned information.
2 Points
6.3. MBONE Connectivity
" Your network design team has informed you that they would like to
connect to the MBONE with a DVMRP tunnel over the Internet.
" The mrouted host where the tunnel will terminate has an IP address of
220.20.3.192.
" This host will be expecting the tunnel to be originated from R4 with a
source address of 192.10.X.4.
" Configure R4 to reflect this request.
" Ensure that R3, R4, and R5 can use DVMRP derived information for RPF
checks on multicast sources.

CCIE Routing & Switching Lab Workbook Version 4.0 Lab 14
6.4. DVMRP Interoperability
" Multicast sources on VLANs 4 and 5 in your will be delivering multicast
feeds to hosts on the MBONE.
" Configure R4 to advertise a single route for these networks over your
DVMRP tunnel to the MBONE.
" Do not advertise any other networks into the MBONE.
2 Points
7. IPv6
7.1. IPv6 over Frame Relay
" Configure IPv6 on the Frame Relay segment between R6 and BB1 using
the network 2001:54:254:X::/64.
" R6 s link-local address should be FE80::6.
" BB1 s global unicast address on this segment is 2001:54:254:X::254/64.
1 Point
7.2. IPv6 Tunneling
" Configure an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel between R4 and R6.
" This tunnel should remain up if R4 loses the connection to either R3 or
R5.
" Use the network 2001:167:X:46::/64 for this segment.
2 Points
7.3. RIPng
" Configure the network 2001:167:X:4::/64 on R4 s connection to VLAN 4.
" Enable RIPng on VLAN 4 and the tunnel between R4 and R6.
" R6 should advertise just a default IPv6 route to R4 via RIPng.

" Configure RIPng on the Frame Relay segment between R6 and BB1 using
the process-id RIPng.
" Advertise the network 2001:167:X::/48 to BB1 via RIPng.
2 Points
8. QoS
8.1. Priority Queueing
" One of your company s executives has been complaining about slow
network response time. After your manager promised this executive that
the problem would have been fixed by the last network upgrade, concerns
are growing about the future of your IT department. In order to appease
this executive and save the department you have decided to prioritize all
of his traffic as it exits out to BB2.
" The executive s host resides on VLAN 4, and has an IP address of
167.X.4.204.
" Configure your network so that traffic for this host has absolute priority
over all other traffic as it exits out towards BB2.
" Do not use legacy priority queueing to accomplish this.
3 Points
8.2. Congestion Management
" Recently your customers in AS 54 have mentioned that access to your
public web server is very slow. After further investigation you have
discovered that there is congestion on the Frame Relay link to BB1.
" Configure the network so that traffic from the web server is guaranteed
50% of the bandwidth of the Frame Relay circuit to BB1.
" The web server s IP address is 167.X.4.119.
" Do not use a policy-map to accomplish this.

9. Security
9.1. DoS Protection
" After further investigating the slow response time to your web server it
appears that the server is undergoing a TCP SYN DoS attack. You have
reported this attack to your upstream provider for them to take the
appropriate action. In the meantime configure R4 to be a proxy for all
TCP sessions initiated to this server.
" R4 should send a reset for any TCP sessions that have not reach the
established state after 30 seconds.
" Additionally R4 should start closing half open TCP sessions after they
have exceeded 1000.
" Once the amount of half open sessions has dropped below 500 R4 should
stop closing them.
3 Points
9.2. Attack Mitigation
" While researching recent security bulletins you have discovered you re
your ISA web server in VLAN 4 is vulnerable to an attack from packets
with malformed IP options headers.
" Configure R6 to prevent this type of attack by dropping all packets it
receives from BB1 containing IP options.

10. System Management
10.1. Configuration Management
" Recently your operations team has suggested a new policy of backing up
router configurations to your internal web server. They have requested
that you create a menu system on R6 as a test deployment for level 1
engineers in the NOC to backup configurations.
" These engineers will login to R6 via telnet with the username NOC and
the password CISCO.
" Once they login the following menu should appear:
Menu for Level 1 NOC users
1. View Current Configuration
2. Backup Current Configuration
3. Exit
Choose your selection:
" The internal web server s IP address is 167.X.5.115 and will be expecting
the username NOC and password CISCO to be received via SSL at port
8080.
" R6 s current configuration should be saved in the directory CONFIGS and
have a filename of R6_CONFIG.txt on the web server.
" Ensure that the users can view the entire running configuration when they
choose the first selection.

11. IP Services
11.1. NAT on a Stick
" Port Fa0/14 of SW1 connects to one of your client sites. Your design
team has allocated this customer the IP address 167.1.27.2/24. Users at
this site are using the private IP address space 172.16.0.0/24. Since this
address space is not routable throughout your network your client's onsite
administrator has requested that you configure Network Address
Translation (NAT) on the border router to hide their address space.
Unfortunately the device you are using to connect to this client is a
Catalyst switch, which does not support NAT. After further investigation
you have discovered that the client does have an extra router onsite.
Unfortunately this router (R2) only has one Ethernet interface. Despite
this fact your operations team has left you with the task of determining an
appropriate solution.
" Configure R2 so that these hosts can access the network.
3 Points
11.2. ICMP Error Reporting
" Traffic accounting has indicated that hosts in VLAN 5 are sending traffic to
destinations that R5 does not have a route to, and that R5 is constantly
informing these hosts that it cannot reach the destination in question. To
reduce processor load on R5 configure it so that it only generates these
error messages every five seconds.

11.3. Gateway Redundancy
" SW3 s default gateway is set to 204.12.X.100.
" Configure R1 to proxy for this IP address using HSRP.
" If R1 s interface S0/0 is down, R6 should proxy for this IP address.
" If R6 s interface S0/0/0 is down and R1 s interface S0/0 is down, R3
should proxy for this IP address.
" Do not use the standby command with the track option on
R1.
" Use the minimal configuration needed to accomplish this task.
