    Lab 5.2.

    3 Building a Basic Routed WAN

    Objective
    • Create a simple routed wide-area network (WAN) with two PCs, two switches or hubs, and two
    routers
    • Identify the proper cables to connect a PC and router to each switch
    • Identify the proper cables to connect the routers to form a WAN link
    • Configure workstation IP address information
    • Test connectivity using the ping command

    Background / Preparation
    This lab focuses on the ability to connect two simple LANs, each consisting of a workstation and a
    switch or hub, to form a basic router-to-router WAN. A router is a networking device that can be
    used to interconnect LANs which routes packets between different networks using Layer 3 IP
    addressing. Routers are typically used to connect the Internet.
    In addition to the physical and data link connections, which are layers 1 and 2, the computers and
    routers must also be configured with the correct IP network settings, which is Layer 3, so that they
    can communicate. Straight-through patch cables are used to connect each PC and router to its
    switch or hub. Two special V.35 cables are used to create the simulated WAN link between the
    routers.

    Note: The two routers need to be preconfigured by the instructor or lab assistant to have the
    correct IP addresses on their LAN and WAN interfaces. Router A will provide the clocking
    signal as DCE.
    Start this lab with the equipment turned off and with cabling disconnected. Work in teams of two with
    one person per LAN. The following resources will be required:
    • Two workstations with an Ethernet 10/100 NIC installed
    • Two Ethernet 10BaseT or Fast Ethernet switches or two hubs
    • Two routers with an RJ45 Ethernet or Fast Ethernet interface (or an AUI interface) and at least
    one serial interface.
    • 10Base-T AUI transceiver (DB15 to RJ45) for a router with an AUI Ethernet interface, which is a
    2500 Series
    • Four Ethernet straight-through cables for connecting the workstations and routers to the hub or
    switch
    • One female (DCE) and one male (DTE) V.35 cable for interconnecting the routers

    Step 1 Identify and connect the proper Ethernet cable from the PC to the switch
    a. The connection between the PC and the switch will be accomplished using a cat 5 or 5e straight-
    through patch cable. Attach one end to the NIC and the other end to a port on the switch or hub.
    Be sure to examine the cable ends carefully and select only a straight-through cable.
    b. Examine the switch or hub.
    What is the model number of the switch or hub? _________________________________________

    Step2 Identify the Ethernet or FastEthernet interfaces on the routers


    a. Examine the routers.
    b. What is the model number of the Router A? _________________________________________
    c. What is the model number of the Router B? _________________________________________
    d. Locate one or more RJ45 connectors on each router labeled “10/100 Ethernet” as shown below.
    This identifier may vary depending on the type of router used. A 2500 series router will have an
    AUI DB15 Ethernet port labeled “AUI 0”. These will require a 10Base-T transceiver to connect to
    the RJ45 cable.

    e. Identify the Ethernet ports that could be used for connecting the routers. Record the information
    below. Record the AUI port numbers when working with a Cisco 2500 series router.

    Step 3 Cable the router LAN links
    a. Router configuration
    The routers should be preconfigured by the instructor or lab assistant so that the Ethernet 0
    interface on each router has the proper IP address and subnet mask as indicated in the table
    below. This will allow the routers to route packets between local area networks 192.168.1.0 and
    192.168.2.0.

    Router E0 Interface IP Address Subnet mask

    Router – A 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

    Router – B 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0

    b. Connecting the cables


    The connection between the router and the hub or switch will be accomplished using a CAT 5
    straight-through patch cable. Locate a patch cable that is long enough to reach from the router to
    the hub. Be sure to examine the cable ends carefully and select only straight-through cables.
    Connect the Ethernet interface that uses the 0 (zero) designation on the router to a port on the
    hub or switch. Also use the 10BASE-T AUI transceiver for the 2500 series routers.

    Step 4 Verify the physical Ethernet connections


    a. Plug in and turn on the computers, switches/hubs and routers. To verify the connections, insure
    that the link lights on the both PC NICs, both switch/hub interfaces and router Ethernet interfaces
    are lit. Are all link lights lit? _____________________If not, check connections and cable types.

    Step 5 Identify the serial interfaces on the router


    a. Examine the routers.
    b. Identify the serial ports on each router that could be used for connecting the routers to simulate a
    WAN link. Record the information below. If there is more than one serial interface, use Interface
    0 on each router.

    Router Name Router Serial Port Router Serial Port

    Router A

    Router B

    Step 6 Identify and locate the proper V.35 cables


    a. Next, inspect the serial cables available in the lab. Depending on the type of router and/or serial
    card, the router may have different connectors.
    b. Router serial port characteristics

    The two most common types are the DB-60 connector and the smart serial. Using the table
    below indicate which type routers that are being used.

    Router Smart Serial DB60

    A

    RTR
    B

    c. Simulating the WAN link - DCE / DTE and Clocking


    Since this will not be through a live lease line, one of the routers will need to provide the clocking
    for the circuit. This is normally provided to each of the routers by a DCE device such as a
    CSU/DSU. To provide this clocking signal, one of the routers will need a DCE cable instead of
    the normal DTE that is used on the other router. Therefore, the connection between routers
    needs to be done using one DCE cable and one DTE cable between routers. A V.35 DCE cable
    and a V.35 DTE cable will be used to simulate the WAN connection.
    d. V. 35 cable characteristics
    The V.35 DCE connector is a large female V.35 (34-pin) connector. The DTE cable has a large
    male V.35 connector. The cables are also labeled as DCE or DTE on the router end of the cable.
    Use the DCE cable on Router A since it will be providing the clock signal.

    DTE DCE

    Step 7 Cable the router WAN link


    a. Router configuration
    Router A should be preconfigured by the instructor or lab assistant to provide the DCE clock
    signal on the Serial 0 interface. The Serial 0 interface on each router should have the proper IP
    address and subnet mast as indicated in the table below. The network interconnecting the router
    serial interfaces is 192.168.3.0.

    4-7 CCNA 1: Networking Basics v 3.0 - Lab 5.2.3 Copyright  2003, Cisco Systems, Inc.
    Router Clocking S0 Interface IP Address Subnet mask

    Router – A DCE 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0

    Router – B DTE 192.168.3.2 255.255.255.0

    b. Connecting the cables


    The DCE cable will attach to the Serial 0 interface on Router A. The DTE cable should be attached
    to the Serial 0 interface on Router B. First make the connection between the two V.35 cables. There
    is only one proper way for the cables to fit together. Align the pins on the male cable with the sockets
    on the female cables and gently couple them. When they are joined, turn the thumbscrews clock-
    wise to secure the connectors.
    Make the connection to each of the routers. Holding the connector in one hand, properly orient the
    cable connector and the router connecter so that the tapers match. Push the cable connector
    partially into the router connector and tighten the thumb screws to fully insert the cable into the
    connector.

    Step 8 Configure Workstation IP settings


    Note: Be sure to write down the existing IP settings so that they can be restored at the end
    of the lab. These include IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers. If the
    workstation is a DHCP client, it is not necessary to record this information.
    Access the IP Settings window.
    Windows 95 / 98 / ME/ users should do the following:
    • Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel and then click the Network icon.
    • Select the TCP/IP protocol icon that is associated with the NIC in this PC and click on
    Properties.
    • Click on the IP Address tab and the Gateway tab.

    Windows NT / 2000 users should do the following:


    • Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel and then click the Network icon.
    • Click on the Protocols tab and select the TCP/IP protocol icon that is associated with the NIC in
    this PC.
    • Click on Properties and click on Specify an IP address.

    Windows XP users should do the following:


    • Click on Start > Control Panel and then click the Network Connection icon.
    • Select the Local Area Network Connection and click on Change settings of this connection.
    See the example below.

    5-7 CCNA 1: Networking Basics v 3.0 - Lab 5.2.3 Copyright  2003, Cisco Systems, Inc.
    Set the IP address information for each PC according to the information in the table.
    Note that the IP address of each PC is on the same network as the default Gateway, which is the
    Ethernet interface of the connected router. The default Gateway is required on local area networks
    that are connected to a router.

    Computer IP Address Subnet mask Default Gateway

    PC – A 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

    PC – B 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1

    Step 9 Verify that PCs can communicate across the WAN


    a. Access the Command Prompt (MS-DOS-like):
    Windows 95 / 98 / Me users should do the following:
    Start > Programs > MS-DOS Prompt
    Windows NT / 2000 users should do the following:
    Start > Programs > Command Prompt
    Windows XP users should do the following:
    Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

    b. Test connectivity
    Ping the IP address of the computer on the other LAN using Enter the following command at the
    command prompt.
    C:>ping 192.168.1.2 (or 192.168.2.2)
    This will test IP connectivity from one workstation through its switch and router across the WAN link
    and through the other router and switch to the other PC.
    c. Look for results similar to those shown below. If not, check the PC connections and TCP/IP
    settings for both PCs. What was the ping result?
    _____________________________________________________________________________

    Step 10 Restore the PCs to their original IP settings, disconnect the equipment, and store
    the cables
