Background / Scenario
This is a comprehensive lab to review previously covered Layer 2 security features.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release
16.9.3 (universalk9 image). The switches used in the labs are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco
IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can
be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and the
output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface
Summary Table at the end of the lab for the correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you
are unsure, contact your Answers.
Answers Note: Refer to the Answers Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload
devices.

Add VLAN 10 to S1 and S2 and name the VLAN Management.
S1(config)# vlan 10
S1(config-vlan)# name Management

S2(config)# vlan 10
S2(config-vlan)# name Management

Step 2: Configure the SVI for VLAN 10.

Configure the IP address according to the Addressing Table for SVI for VLAN 10 on S1 and S2.
Enable the SVI interfaces and provide a description for the interface.
S1(config)# interface vlan 10
S1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.201 255.255.255.0
S1(config-if)# description Management SVI
S1(config-if)# no shutdown

S2(config)# interface vlan 10

S2(config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.202 255.255.255.0
2S1(config-if)# description Management SVI
S2(config-if)# no shutdown

Step 3: Configure VLAN 333 with the name Native on S1 and S2.
S1(config)# vlan 333
 S1(config-vlan)# name Native

S2(config)# vlan 333

S2(config-vlan)# name Native

Step 4: Configure VLAN 999 with the name ParkingLot on S1 and S2.
S1(config-vlan)# vlan 999
S1(config-vlan)# name ParkingLot

S2(config-vlan)# vlan 999

S2(config-vlan)# name ParkingLot

Part 3: Configure Switch Security.

Step 1: Implement 802.1Q trunking.

a. On both switches, configure trunking on F0/1 to use VLAN 333 as the native VLAN.
S1(config)# interface f0/1
S1(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
S1(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 333

S2(config)# interface f0/1

S2(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
S2(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 333
b. Verify that trunking is configured on both switches.
S1# show interface trunk

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan

Fa0/1 on 802.1q trunking 333

Port Vlans allowed on trunk

Fa0/1 1-4094

Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain

Fa0/1 1,10,333,999

Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned

Fa0/1 1,10,333,999

S2# show interface trunk

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan

Fa0/1 on 802.1q trunking 333

Port Vlans allowed on trunk

Fa0/1 1-4094
 Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Fa0/1 1,10,333,999

Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned

Fa0/1 1,10,333,999
c. Disable DTP negotiation on F0/1 on S1 and S2.
S1(config)# interface f0/1
S1(config-if)# switchport nonegotiate

S2(config)# interface f0/1

S2(config-if)# switchport nonegotiate
d. Verify with the show interfaces command.
S1# show interfaces f0/1 switchport | include Negotiation
Negotiation of Trunking: Off

S2# show interfaces f0/1 switchport | include Negotiation

Negotiation of Trunking: Off

Step 2: Configure access ports.

a. On S1, configure F0/5 and F0/6 as access ports that are associated with VLAN 10.
S1(config)# interface range f0/5 – 6
S1(config-if)# switchport mode access
S1(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10
b. On S2, configure F0/18 as an access port that is associated with VLAN 10.
S2(config)# interface f0/18
S2(config-if)# switchport mode access
S2(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10

Step 3: Secure and disable unused switchports.

a. On S1 and S2, move the unused ports from VLAN 1 to VLAN 999 and disable the unused
ports.
S1(config)# interface range f0/2-4 , f0/7-24, g0/1-2
S1(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
S1(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 999
S1(config-if-range)# shutdown

S2(config)# interface range f0/2-17 , f0/19-24, g0/1-2

S2(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
S2(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 999
S2(config-if-range)# shutdown
b. Verify that unused ports are disabled and associated with VLAN 999 by issuing the show
command.

Step 5: Implement DHCP snooping security.

a. On S2, enable DHCP snooping and configure DHCP snooping on VLAN 10.
S2(config)# ip dhcp snooping
S2(config)# ip dhcp snooping vlan 10
b. Configure the trunk port on S2 as a trusted port.
S2(config)# interface f0/1
S2(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping trust
c. Limit the untrusted port, F18 on S2, to five DHCP packets per second.
S2(config)# interface f0/18
S2(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping limit rate 5
d. Verify DHCP Snooping on S2.
S2# show ip dhcp snooping
Switch DHCP snooping is enabled
DHCP snooping is configured on following VLANs:
10
DHCP snooping is operational on following VLANs:
10
DHCP snooping is configured on the following L3 Interfaces:
Insertion of option 82 is enabled
circuit-id default format: vlan-mod-port
remote-id: 0cd9.96d2.3f80 (MAC)
 Option 82 on untrusted port is not allowed
Verification of hwaddr field is enabled
Verification of giaddr field is enabled
DHCP snooping trust/rate is configured on the following Interfaces:

Total number of bindings: 1

Step 6: Implement PortFast and BPDU guard.

a. Configure PortFast on all the access ports that are in use on both switches.
S1(config)# interface range f0/5 – 6
S1(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast
S2(config)# interface f0/18
S2(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast
b. Enable BPDU guard on S1 and S2 VLAN 10 access ports connected to PC-A and PC-B.
S1(config)# interface f0/6
S1(config-if)# spanning-tree bpduguard enable
S2(config)# interface f0/18
S2(config-if)# spanning-tree bpduguard enable
c. Verify that BPDU guard and PortFast are enabled on the appropriate ports.
S1# show spanning-tree interface f0/6 detail
Port 8 (FastEthernet0/6) of VLAN0010 is designated forwarding
Port path cost 19, Port priority 128, Port Identifier 128.6.
<output omitted for brevity>
Number of transitions to forwarding state: 1
The port is in the portfast mode
Link type is point-to-point by default
Bpdu guard is enabled
BPDU: sent 128, received 0
 Step 7: Verify end-to-end connectivity.
Verify PING connectivity between all devices in the IP Addressing Table. If the pings fail, you
may need to disable the firewall on the PC hosts.
Close configuration window

Reflection Questions
1. In reference to Port Security on S2, why is there no timer value for the remaining age in minutes
when sticky learning was configured?
Type your answers here.
This switch does not support the port security aging of sticky secure addresses.
2. In reference to Port Security on S2, if you load the running-config script on S2, why will PC-B on
port 18 never get an IP address via DHCP?
Port security is set for only two MAC addresses and port 18 has two “sticky” MAC
address bound to the port. Additionally, the violation is protect, which will never send a
console/syslog message or increment the violation counter.
3. In reference to Port Security, what is the difference between the absolute aging type and
inactivity aging type?
If the inactivity type is set, then the secure addresses on the port will be removed only if
there is no data traffic from the secure source addresses for the specified time period.
If the absolute type is set, then all secure addresses on this port age out exactly after the
time specified ends.
