Implementing Network Redundancy in a routed and switched network

Detailed Task Requirements

• Select appropriate routers and switches
• Cable all devices as indicated in Figure 1
• Assign IP addresses to all devices as indicated in Table 1
  
• Configure SW1 as a VTP server, SW2 as a VTP client, use the VTP domain Solar & VTP Password System
  
• Create all required VLAN’s on switches SW1 & SW2, name the VLAN’s, put relevant switch-ports into the VLAN’s
  
• Create a LACP Ether-channel between SW1 & SW2. SW1 active, SW2 passive.
  
• Create any trunk-links that are required for full connectivity
  
• Configure RoaS Inter-VLAN routing on R2 & R3 (this must be configured on both routers in preparation for HSRP)
  
• SW1 must be the STP root bridge for VLAN’s 100 & 101, SW2 for VLAN’s 102 & 103
  
• HSRP Active / Standby on R2 & R3 must produce the output in Figure 1 – show standby brief
  
• Enable preemption for active HSRP routers
  
• Configure Multi-area OSPF to provide full connectivity across the network, all non-router-to-router
• links/interfaces should be passive. Do not use routing protocol peering between R1 and the ISP router.
  
• By default R4’s loopback networks will appear in R1’s routing table with incorrect /32 prefixes, they should have the correct /26 prefix. This will require some research in order to fix. Ensure that R4’s loopback networks appear in R1’s routing table with /26 prefixes.
  
• The final task is to ensure that there is only a single summary route for the four 192.168.X.X LAN’s in R4’s routing table. By default they will appear as four separate routes, see Figure 2
