Thank you so much for putting me back on track. I started in internetworking when Cisco had AGS (I think that was the model) routers. So its really nice to have this CCNA playlist and have someone like Keith be so encouraging. Ok, so this lab as easy as it seems took me a bit to get working (well two whole days) I have learned to add CLI commands just as fast as Keith. So here are some of my curiosities: 1. After the configuration from sw1 I am not able to ping the server or any other client or server. I think I have this figured out that SW1 does not have a management IP address. Also trace IP ending up in the bucket is hard to brake on an apple laptop. 2. Spanning tree orange ball on the two links between SW1 and SW2, this is why I trashed the configs and took me nearly 2 days on this lab. I think this is ok but I would like to understand the orange balls. Anyway thank you very much all this.
Did this lab over and over until it really sunk in and made sense. I took this topology and made it my own. I scaled it out to include even more vlans and DHCP IP scopes, 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x and a 192.168.x.x network with a /24 mask. This last time I built the network topology it worked perfectly on the first attempt. Previously I made a network similarly and it didn't work on the first try. So, I started to troubleshoot the issue. This was a test to see if I truly understand what is happening. After some troubleshooting I realized that the static IP address for my DHCP server was set to the same.as the network address for my DHCP relay address. Once I corrected that every machine grabbed the correct address. It was a great feeling and moment for me. Mr. Barker, I can't thank you enough since your teaching has taught me so much about networking and what to look for and how to troubleshoot. Next is doing custom subnetting and learning more about routing. Thanks again for all you do.
@@KeithBarker it certainly has helped as I've been working on Network discovery with SNMP, DHCP reservations and using CLI and the Cisco OS for changing IP addresses of devices to throw them on the correct subnet.
wow..I thought I knew how to configure all the required Configurations.....watching this video taught me bunch of stuff I didn't know. So many new commands to learn. gonna have to watch DHCP relay thing. Thanks very much for this lab , Keith . so much to learn.😀
Hey Keith, I really appreciate the time that you invest to teach us and help us with this labs. Thank you for the knowledge that you are sharing, may God bless you LOTS!! Greetings from Costa Rica!!
You are so great, Tutorials you provide are not only exam-oriented or just useful, on the top of it, it is interesting, you gain a feeling like suddenly find out a solution for a long-standing puzzle. GREAT!!! Thank you.
I completed the lab! I kept messing up the switchport mode access and switchport access commands. Kept flipping them, but it was great! Thank you Keith and everyone who helped!
Keith, great video!! i have been learning Cisco on & off for the last few months and not really getting anywhere. Have subscribed to your channel i am really enjoying getting back into it. Really like your way of teaching
So I did this while reading the netacad book. and they tell me what it does and I understand it. but just love the way you also explain it. just love you energi :D
I typed the Configuration commands in notepad like you did..and just paste it on packet tracer. I never knew that method before. That's my biggest takeaway from this video..and also the ip helper command. Thanks Keith.😀
I love you man ! The lab is fantastic ! I read from the text book then I come to watch the corresponding videos ! I really feel totally different and confident and have a deeper understanding after watching your videos! Thanks KEITH !
Awesome videos. As a recent convert from Meraki, your videos are welcome change from a lot of the boring, syntax only videos! Thanks! Looking forward to more!
Hi Keith, good reinforcing of concept. I did not realise, until I di this lab, that creating the VTP domain will replicate the VLANs from the L3 SW3 to the other L2 switches. I did find the DHCP start giving out some IP address from the pre-configured severpool range but 'bouncing' the end devices brought it back correctly, thanks for the lab
I finish this awesome practice lab today. Thanks Keith your videos help me a lot. I wish you the best in everything you do. Best regards from San Juan Puerto Rico.
This was a very challenging lab. I tried to do it on my own and wasn't able to get through it without watching the video. I place to repeat it a few additional times to ensure I understand all the concepts.
Thank you David Laufer! Taking the time to go through the hands on practice is one of the best ways to learn the technology. My hat is off to you! Way to go.
I completed the lab! I just finished a CCNA course at my local college, you make it so much fun and interesting! Using your videos to get ready for my cert!
Thanks Keith (and Dan) This helped me study for my CCNA really needed to review this after missing a scenario on my Cisco practice exam that required configuring DHCP.
Hey Keith, I really appreciate your work on this course and i had completed this lab in less than 30 min. It was so fun and dope!! Wish you would do more labs.
Seriously, watching something not work as it should and then seeing how you fix it is practical knowledge and it helps more than hours of cramming. Glad you leave that stuff in.
Awesome lab Keith. I got a better understanding of these commands and how they all fit together. Funny thing is I made all the same slip-ups as you did when I tried the lab by myself. Great fun.
Just scheduled my exam for the 19th! I read through Lammle's great 200-301 book and took an online weeklong course. Now to bust out these labs and the master playlist :)
I completed it. Good idea to type End when done configuring a step. Also, when pinging PCs, make sure you look at the IP address YOUR OWN packet tracer assigned. I was trying to ping what Keith had and the IP address assigned by DHCP were different between his and mine.
I was stomped a bit because my Lan 20 was not getting DHCP. But I forgot or messed up on setting up helper. Once I performed it again it worked. I like that I screwed up, made me think about it and work a bit harder.
30:03 voila dhcp! is it possible to get ip addresses from specific dhcp pool to a specific vlan..end devices..for example only vlan 20 devices are allowed to have IPs from 172.16.x.x dhcp pool ...
Thank you for the question Waqar. The DHCP relay will indicate to the server which subnet the request came from, and as a result the DHCP server will make an offer from a pool of addresses in that same subnet (if configured for a pool in that subnet).
here is my story :D i did this lab , exactly same everything , configured each switches , everything was perfect , checked each interface , but i couldnt get IP's from DHCP server .... i was looking for a problem for about 2 hrs :D :D and finaly found that i did not asigne VLAN to the switchport that was connecting to DHCP server i did it and BUM , i recived my IP addresses from DHCP , cound not be happier :D
I signed up for packet tracer, then I went to this link in the video and downloaded it. Then I opened the download form its ziped file and it opened in my terminal? Then it said “ab pkt 3: No such file or directory” in my terminal. Why didn’t it open in packet tracer ? I’m lost I got a 2015 MacBook Pro.. Can anyone help ?
Thank you for the question Anshul Mehta. If you save your PT lab, DM me on Discord and send me the PT file (links are in the video for Discord), I would be happy to take a look at it.
Thanks for great video! I have only one question. How do I know which PC is connected to interface without using "show port labels"? I though that if I go to show interface fa 0/1 I gonna be able to find mac address of PC connected but it's not there.
Great lab. I did most of the lab on my 3 3560 switches but i felt so embarrassed when i wasn't able to ping my PC in Vlan 10, only to find out my LAN cable was unplugged lol
I dont fully understand the need for this VTP configuration , can anyone share more light, how do i create it? and is it compulsory when when managing a large network?
Hi Sir Keith! You are superb IT Teacher! Thank you very much for always sharing your knowledge to the IT Community. I just finished your packet tracer lab now. :) Hoping you can create HSRP lab (like industry real / common setup) for us please please please. Thank you in advance.

Great stuff. I am preparing for my Cisco CCNA 200-301 with your labs, videos etc. I just have one question. Why are on this topology interfaces between switches Sw1 and SW2 connected together, two times?
Way to commit to your goal Mikrotik GM❗ You can do this. Multiple connections could be used for: Etherchannel Bundling Fault Tolerance Separate primary VLANs/Networks for each connection, with a fallback to the other combinations of the above.
I think I got it figured out after watching your next lesson on STP, those ports are in blocking mode and SW2s ports and designated as the forwarding ports
Amazing video. I had one quick question. What is up with the Fa0/11 and 22 connection on SW1? ip interface brief shows that they are up but the color is orange and it is slowly driving me insane.
Thank you for the question @dei_walker. At the end of the day PT is a simulator, not an emulator. The orange could be due to a trunk that is forwarding for some vlans, but blocking for others. That is one example I can think of where an UP port may have an orange indicator on live gear.
Mr Barker, just started watching your vids. so i watch them according to their numbering. but on this one compared to the last you didnt cover VTP and the Spanning tree and what line console interface is used for. now im kinder lost and im still a newbie
I have to be super critical with this lab in that there were huge distractions 1. VTP (and how to configure it) is NOT a part of the CCNA curriculum and not presented in the Netacad curriculum. 2. DHCP overtook the lab's focus nearly completely from a trunking exercise and made it into a dhcp configuration exercise. 3. 'comfort commands' at the beginning. I would suggest that the server and helper already be configured so that we students can spend time on actually doing what the exercise called for :TRUNKING and vlans.
I find it odd we needed a routing table to get between VLANs. I don't recall routers needing them, you just put the subinterface on that VLANs network. Is it because it's a multilayer switch that we need a routing table?
Thank you for the question 2x2is22. A VLAN is a layer 2 domain. In that layer 2 domain we logically use an L3 address space for a given network. On a multi-layer switch we can use logical layer 3 interfaces that support a VLAN. These logical layer 3 interfaces are called Switched Virtual Interfaces (SVIs). Interface VLAN 1 is an example. This is the layer 3 interface that can now support other devices in the layer 2 VLAN of VLAN 1. Feel free to join my Discord sever. Lots of people there helping each other out. Each Saturday at 10am Pacific I hold my "Office Hour" where learners can ask questions about the topics they are studying. Mostly focusing on Cisco CCNA 200-301 topics. Feel free to join us there live if you are available. Here is the link ogit.online/Join_OGIT_on_Discord Thanks again 2x2is22!
Hi Keith. A simple question, If the internet provider increase the Network Speed to a certain amount on the Enterprise network. How can we test it? if there is an increase in the Bandwidth? Also where should we test, the Internet facing router or some other device? is there a specific command?
Hey Keith, i got another question on this particular lab. How was switch 3 able to do intervlan routing without disabling switchport on either of the connected ports? I though you need to disable the switchport on a port to enable routing capabilities of a L3 switch? Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the question John B. A multi-layer switch can do routing a couple of different ways. 1 of those ways is to use the "no switchport" command on a physical interface, and then use that physical interface similar to a L3 interface on a router. The other (and more common) option, is to use a logical layer 3 virtual interface, referred to as a "Switch Virtual Interface" or SVI. To create one of these logical layer 3 interfaces for a VLAN, such as VLAN 11, we would use the command: interface vlan 11 Followed by applying the L3 ip address we want to use on that interface. There is no physical port for this interface. It is like it "lives" virtually in vlan 11, and the devices in VLAN 11 can use the ip address of that SVI as their default gateway. Let me know if any of that helps, of if you have further questions. Happy studies John.
Thank you Keith for doing this. I have a question here- assuming I dont use VTP, do I need to configure vlan 777 on SW1 for all the communications to happen. Why should the trunks on SW1 need to allow vlan 777 since we anyway dont have any host communicating to the vlan 777 in L2. I'm confused. Could you pls help here?
Thank you for the question anitha soundararajan. If a trunk is expected to carry a VLAN between 2 other switches, that middle switch needs to have knowledge of that VLAN, otherwise it will drop those frames.
Thank you very much Keith this was very helpful, also can you attach a pdf of instructions for the particular lab in the upcoming packet tracer labs and also do you have any plans for covering the network automation part of the CCNA, I appreciate it you've been a great teacher as you make complicated topics become easily understandable, I enjoy learning from you.
Taking my CCNA in 3 weeks, your labs have been super fun and informative, hoping it leads to my success. Thanks Mr. Barker!

Completed the lab while sitting home on easter holiday. VTP server domain name OGIT, I used the same name before even watching the video...lolz.
Awesome! Way to go Farmedi! I appreciate you doing the lab, and letting me know. Happy continued studies.
Mr Barker, just started watching your vids. so i watch them according to their numbering. but on this one compared to the last you didnt cover VTP and the Spanning tree and what line console interface is used for. now im kinder lost and im still a newbie
I see the same thing but I feel you may have to jump around a bit and do research outside of the playlist.
While Configuring Switch-1 when I type sw it shows "Incomplete Command" but why?
I have to be super critical with this lab in that there were huge distractions 1. VTP (and how to configure it) is NOT a part of the CCNA curriculum and not presented in the Netacad curriculum. 2. DHCP overtook the lab's focus nearly completely from a trunking exercise and made it into a dhcp configuration exercise. 3. 'comfort commands' at the beginning. I would suggest that the server and helper already be configured so that we students can spend time on actually doing what the exercise called for :TRUNKING and vlans.
Thank you Pauly-Wauly Doodlealdaday for the insights! Appreciated.
I find it odd we needed a routing table to get between VLANs. I don't recall routers needing them, you just put the subinterface on that VLANs network. Is it because it's a multilayer switch that we need a routing table?
Thank you for the question 2x2is22. A VLAN is a layer 2 domain. In that layer 2 domain we logically use an L3 address space for a given network. On a multi-layer switch we can use logical layer 3 interfaces that support a VLAN. These logical layer 3 interfaces are called Switched Virtual Interfaces (SVIs). Interface VLAN 1 is an example. This is the layer 3 interface that can now support other devices in the layer 2 VLAN of VLAN 1.
Feel free to join my Discord sever. Lots of people there helping each other out. Each Saturday at 10am Pacific I hold my "Office Hour" where learners can ask questions about the topics they are studying. Mostly focusing on Cisco CCNA 200-301 topics. Feel free to join us there live if you are available. Here is the link ogit.online/Join_OGIT_on_Discord
Thanks again 2x2is22!
Hi Mr. Keith, thank you for your video tutorial. The explanation easy to understand 😊.
Glad it was helpful!
Lab Completed.
Thank you Robert Andrade for working on that lab! Hands on practice is one of the best ways to build your skills, and get better. Thank you!
Hi Keith. A simple question, If the internet provider increase the Network Speed to a certain amount on the Enterprise network. How can we test it? if there is an increase in the Bandwidth? Also where should we test, the Internet facing router or some other device? is there a specific command?
There are many free speed tests available on the Internet. Try a google search for "free speed test"
Can you specify a course which can help in learning about dmz and configuration for ASA FW on CBT Nuggets
Hey Keith, i got another question on this particular lab. How was switch 3 able to do intervlan routing without disabling switchport on either of the connected ports? I though you need to disable the switchport on a port to enable routing capabilities of a L3 switch? Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the question John B. A multi-layer switch can do routing a couple of different ways. 1 of those ways is to use the "no switchport" command on a physical interface, and then use that physical interface similar to a L3 interface on a router.
The other (and more common) option, is to use a logical layer 3 virtual interface, referred to as a "Switch Virtual Interface" or SVI. To create one of these logical layer 3 interfaces for a VLAN, such as VLAN 11, we would use the command:
interface vlan 11
Followed by applying the L3 ip address we want to use on that interface. There is no physical port for this interface. It is like it "lives" virtually in vlan 11, and the devices in VLAN 11 can use the ip address of that SVI as their default gateway.
Let me know if any of that helps, of if you have further questions.
Happy studies John.
@@KeithBarker thanks Keith! This is the best answer i could ask for! Its very well detailed. More power to you
Thanks for making me discover such a powerful tool as notepad o_O'
You're a crazy dude, you know that ?!
Keith..You are the best!!! Thanks a lot.
Happy to do it, thanks for the feedback Atilio.
Thank you Keith for doing this. I have a question here- assuming I dont use VTP, do I need to configure vlan 777 on SW1 for all the communications to happen. Why should the trunks on SW1 need to allow vlan 777 since we anyway dont have any host communicating to the vlan 777 in L2. I'm confused. Could you pls help here?
Thank you for the question anitha soundararajan. If a trunk is expected to carry a VLAN between 2 other switches, that middle switch needs to have knowledge of that VLAN, otherwise it will drop those frames.
Thanks Keith. Very refreshing.
Thank you T G!
Thank you very much Keith this was very helpful, also can you attach a pdf of instructions for the particular lab in the upcoming packet tracer labs and also do you have any plans for covering the network automation part of the CCNA, I appreciate it you've been a great teacher as you make complicated topics become easily understandable, I enjoy learning from you.
Umair M thanks for your input! That is definitely in my queue to include the PDFs with the labs. Stay tuned, and thanks for the suggestion.
Is the download no longer available on the website?
Amazing tutor i love the way you teach amazing keep walking
Thank you, I will
