Lab 8.2.5 Configuring and Verifying WAN Backup Links

Task 1: Build the Network. Task Complete
Step 1 Connect devices
a. Connect the routers as shown in the topology diagram. Refer to the Test Plan in Lab 8.2.2 for cabling required.
b. For each of the routers to be configured, use the erase startup-config and the reloadcommands from the privileged EXEC prompt, to ensure that you are starting with a clean configuration.


Task 2: Configure Router ISPX as a Backup. Task Complete

Step 1: Perform basic configuration of the ISPX router
Connect a PC to the console port of the router to perform configurations using a terminal emulation program.
Configure the router with hostname, passwords, message-of-the–day, and no ip domain lookup.
Router(config)#hostname ISPX
ISPX(config)#line console 0
ISPX(config-line)#password cisco
ISPX(config-line)#login
ISPX(config-line)#exit
ISPX(config)#line vty 0 4
ISPX(config-line)#password cisco
ISPX(config-line)#login
ISPX(config-line)#exit
ISPX(config)#enable password cisco
ISPX(config)#enable secret class
ISPX(config)#no ip domain-lookup
ISPX(config)#banner motd #Unauthorized use prohibited#

Step 2: Configure ISPX router FastEthernet interfaces
Configure the FastEthernet interfaces for the backup links to the Edge2 and BR3 routers. Configure a description and the IP address, and activate each interface.

Step 3: Configure a static route on the ISPX router to the FilmCompany local network
On the ISPX router, configure a normal static route to the BR3 network 172.18.225.0/25 via the Fa0/0 interface on BR3.

Step 4: Configure a static route on the ISPX router to the stadium local network
On the ISPX router, configure a normal static route to the Edge2 network 172.18.3.0/24 via the Fa0/1 interface on Edge2.

Task 3: Configure the Stadium Edge2 Router. Task Complete

Step 1: Perform basic configuration of the router
Connect a PC to the console port of the router to perform configurations using a terminal emulation program. Erase and reload the router before starting.
Configure the router with a hostname, passwords, message-of-the–day, and no ip domain lookup.

Step 2: Configure stadium router Edge2 interfaces
Configure the Serial 0/1/1 interface with Frame Relay encapsulation. Configure a point-to-point subinterface for DLCI 110.
Edge2(config)#interface serial0/1/1
Edge2(config-if)#description primary link to BR3
Edge2(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
Edge2(config-if)#no shutdown
Edge2(config-if)#interface serial0/1/1.110 point-to-point
Edge2(config-subif)#ip address 172.18.0.9 255.255.255.252
Edge2(config-subif)#frame-relay interface-dlci 110
Edge2(config-fr-dlci)#end
Configure FastEthernet 0/0 interface for the stadium LAN network 172.18.3.0/24.
Configure FastEthernet 0/1 interface for the backup link to the ISPX router per the topology diagram.

Step 3: Configure a dynamic routing protocol on stadium router Edge2
On Edge2, configure the EIGRP routing protocol to advertise the 172.18.3.0/24 network and the 172.18.0.8/30 network. Use EIGRP process ID 10. Disable auto-summary.
Configure EIGRP MD5 authentication to accept updates from the FilmCompany router BR3 on the Frame Relay subinterface.
Sample steps to configure EIGRP authentication are:
Edge2#configure terminal
Edge2(config)#key chain MYCHAIN
Edge2(config-keychain)#key 1
Edge2(config-keychain-key)#key-string securetraffic
Edge2(config-keychain-key)#exit
Edge2(config)#interface serial 0/1/1.110
Edge2(config-subif)#ip authentication mode eigrp 10 md5
Edge2(config-subif)#ip authentication key-chain eigrp 10 MYCHAIN
Edge2(config-subif)#end
Edge2#
Until EIGRP and MD5 configuration are complete on router BR3, no EIGRP updates will be received.
The debug eigrp packet command can be used to view the EIGRP exchange as it is occurring between the routers.

Task 4: Configure the FilmCompany BR3 Router. Task Complete

Step 1: Perform basic configuration of the router
Connect a PC to the console port of the router to perform configurations using a terminal emulation program. Erase and reload the router before starting.
Configure the router with a hostname, passwords, message-of-the–day, and no ip domain lookup.

Step 2: Configure router BR3 interfaces
Configure Serial 0/1/0 interface with Frame Relay encapsulation. Configure a point-to-point subinterface for DLCI 100.
BR3(config)#interface serial0/1/0
BR3(config-if)#description primary link to Edge2
BR3(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
BR3(config-if)#no shutdown
BR3(config-if)#interface serial0/1/0.100 point-to-point
BR3(config-subif)#ip address 172.18.0.10 255.255.255.252
BR3(config-subif)#frame-relay interface-dlci 100
BR3(config-fr-dlci)#end
Configure FastEthernet 0/1 interface for the FilmCompany LAN network 172.18.225.0/25.
Configure FastEthernet 0/0 interface for the backup link to the ISPX router per the topology diagram.

Step 3: Configure the dynamic routing protocol on router BR3
On BR3, configure the EIGRP routing protocol to advertise the 172.18.225.0/25 network and the 172.18.0.8/30 network. Use EIGRP process ID 10. Disable auto-summary.
Configure EIGRP MD5 authentication to accept routing updates from the Edge2 router on interface serial0/1/0.100.
BR3#configure terminal
BR3(config)#key chain MYCHAIN
BR3(config-keychain)#key 1
BR3(config-keychain-key)#key-string securetraffic
BR3(config-keychain-key)#exit
BR3(config)#interface serial 0/1/0.100
BR3(config-subif)#ip authentication mode eigrp 10 md5
BR3(config-subif)#ip authentication key-chain eigrp 10 MYCHAIN
BR3(config-subif)#end
When authentication is configured, both Edge2 and BR3 should begin accepting EIGRP updates. Use the show ip route command to verify that the routes to the LAN devices have been learned.
Until EIGRP and MD5 configuration are complete on router BR3, no EIGRP updates will be received successfully. The command debug eigrp packet shows when EIGRP authentication is successful. Example output of the debug eigrp packet command once BR3 is correctly configured is shown below:
BR3#debug eigrp packet
00:47:04: EIGRP: received packet with MD5 authentication, key id = 1
00:47:04: EIGRP: Received HELLO on Serial0/1/0.100 nbr 172.18.0.9

Turn off any debugging using the undebug all command.

Step 5: Clean up
Erase the configurations and reload the routers. Disconnect and store the cabling. For PC hosts that are
normally connected to other networks (such as the school LAN or to the Internet), reconnect the
appropriate cabling and restore the TCP/IP settings.


Task 8: Reflection / Challenge
When is it most important to have a backup link? How does a backup link compare to a redundant link?
Link Backup diperlukan ketika hilangnya link primer yang akan menyebabkan hilangnya akses ke sumber daya kritis. Ini adalah biaya / resiko keputusan yang dibuat oleh sebuah organisasi.

This lab uses the RIP dynamic routing protocol and floating static routes to demonstrate primary and backup routes. Would it be possible to use all static routes and no dynamic routing protocol?
Ya, tapi rute statis untuk semua lokasi jaringan harus ditetapkan untuk komunikasi end-to-end
antara jaringan. Harus ada rute untuk mencapai tujuan jaringan dan rute di tempat tujuan untuk kembali, agar komunikasi dua arah terjadi.
