DHCP

Snippet: Enable Router DHCP Server

This snippet configures a DHCP Server on R1 and will hand out IPs on the 10.0.0.1/24 network. Great for using an FTP Server with.

conf t
ip domain name cisco.com
ip dhcp excluded-address 10.0.0.1
ip dhcp pool test
network 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 10.0.0.1
end

Snippet: Enable Switch DHCP Server

ip dhcp pool test
network 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0
domain-name cisco.com
default-router 10.0.0.1
dns-server 10.0.0.1
lease 4
ip dhcp snooping
ip dhcp-server 10.0.0.3
interface vlan 1
ip address 10.0.0.3

Create DHCP Pool

Workaround for CCNA labs at Liberty University since we can't change the LAB IP addresses

conf t
ip domain name cisco.com
ip dhcp excluded-address 10.0.0.1
ip dhcp pool managementpool
network 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
default-router 10.0.0.1
end

conf t
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.10.1
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.10.254
ip dhcp pool office-pool-1
network 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.10.1
dns-server 192.168.5.5
domain-name linux.org
end

DHCP Verification

show running-config | section dhcp
show ip dhcp binding
show ip dhcp server statistics

Disable DHCP

conf t
no service dhcp
end

Re-enabled DHCP

conf t
service dhcp
end

Create VLAN DHCP

Creates a Seperate DHCP Pool for each VLAN

Create VLANS

conf t
vlan 10
name Management
vlan 20
name Sales
vlan 30
name Operations
end

Configure SVI's and IP Address

VLAN IP Address Gateway
10 192.168.10.254 192.168.10.1
20 192.168.20.254 192.168.20.1
30 192.168.30.254 192.168.30.1 
conf t
int vlan 10
ip address 192.168.10.254 255.255.255.0
ip default-gateway 192.168.10.1
no shut

int vlan 20
ip address 192.168.20.254 255.255.255.0
ip default-gateway 192.168.20.1
no shut

int vlan 30
ip address 192.168.30.254 255.255.255.0
ip default-gateway 192.168.30.1
no shut
end

Add interfaces to VLANS, 8 ports per vlan

conf t
int range f0/1-7
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10

int range f0/8-15
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 20

int range f0/16-24
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 30
end

Create DHCP Pools for each vlan

conf t
ip domain name cisco.com
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.10.1
ip dhcp pool vlan10pool
network 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.10.1
import all


ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.20.1
ip dhcp pool vlan20pool
network 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.20.1
import all

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.30.1
ip dhcp pool vlan30pool
network 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.30.1
import all
end

Now when a device plugs into a port f0/4 for instance and performs a DHCP request, it should get an IP like 192.168.10.3 because it is plugged into the ports assigned to VLAN 10

Verify DHCP Pool

show ip dhcp pool

Delete DHCP Pool

conf t
no ip dhcp pool managementpool
end

delete vlan.dat

Delete VLANS in memory

Warning: Make sure you move ports to another vlan or the will be unsable

conf t
no vlan 10
no vlan 20
end

Inter-VLAN Routing

Creates multiple sub-interfaces on a router port to enable inter-vlan routing.

Note: encapsulation dot1q must be called on a sub interface before an IP can be assigned to it.

conf t
interface G0/0/1.10
description Default Gateway for VLAN 10
encapsulation dot1Q 10
ip add 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
exit

interface G0/0/1.20
description Default Gateway for VLAN 20
encapsulation dot1Q 20
ip addr 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0
exit

interface G0/0/1.99
description Default Gateway for VLAN 99
encapsulation dot1Q 99
ip addr 192.168.99.1 255.255.255.0
exit

interface G0/0/1
description Trunk link to S1
no shut
end

Trunks

Create multi-switch vlan trunk

S1

conf t
interface Gi0/1
description Trunk Line to S2 Gi0/1
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 99
switchport trunk allowed vlan 99
end

Note: Remember to set the native vlan (to 99 for instance) on each switch in the trunk so you don't get a native vlan mismatch warning

Trunk Verification

show interface trunk
show interface g0/1 switchport

EtherChannel

Etherchannel protocols LACP and PAgP configure multiple physical interfaces and links to act as one logical one. You can configure up to 8 ports to act as a single link. This increases bandwidth and improves redundancy.

Note: mode active sets the etherchannel group to use the LACP protocol

Configure EtherChannel

Configure etherchannel between two switches connected with two ethernet cables.

conf t
int range f0/1-2
channel-group 1 mode active
exit
int port-channel 1
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,20

Verify EtherChannel

show interfaces trunk
show etherchannel summary

DTP (Dynamic Trunking Protocol)

Configure DTP

conf t
int gi0/1
switchport mode dynamic auto
end

or

conf t
int gi0/1
switchport mode dynamic desirable
end

Disable DTP

Usefull for connecting to devices that don't support Cisco propietary DTP or creating a static trunk

conf t
int gi0/1
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
end

Verify DTP

show dtp interface gi0/1

How To's

FTP Server Usage

  1. Clone the repo:

    git clone https://github.com/grplyler/cisco-utils

  2. Install python requirements (for ftp server):

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. Run python ftp_server.py

    python3 ftp_server.py

  4. Pull a script onto a network device (WARNING: Backup to avoid any losses)

    Switch#> copy ftp://192.168.1.10/sw_base.txt running-config

    Replace 192.168.1.10 with the IP of the computer connected to the switch or router.

Install Packet Tracer on Fedora Workstation

(Credit for this howto goes to philpinch from the Fedora Forums)

1. Log into the Fedora GNOME Desktop

Remove old version of PacketTracer (if necessary):

rm -rf /opt/pt
rm -rf /usr/share/applications/cisco-pt7.desktop
rm -rf /usr/share/applications/cisco-ptsa7.desktop
rm -rf /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/pt7.png

2. Download from the netacad web site the PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb package.

Open a terminal :

mkdir -p tmp/pt730

copy the PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb package to tmp/pt730

4. We’re going to extract the deb file in this folder:

cd tmp/pt730
ar -xv PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb
mkdir control
tar -C control -Jxf control.tar.xz
mkdir data
tar -C data -Jxf data.tar.xz

5. Copy PacketTracer files to install it:

cd data
cp -r usr /
cp -r opt /

6. Configure Gnome Environment:

sudo xdg-desktop-menu install /usr/share/applications/cisco-pt7.desktop
sudo xdg-desktop-menu install /usr/share/applications/cisco-ptsa7.desktop
sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache --force --ignore-theme-index /usr/share/icons/gnome
sudo xdg-mime default cisco-ptsa7.desktop x-scheme-handler/pttp
ln -sf /opt/pt/packettracer /usr/local/bin/packettracer

Console Access with minicom on Linux

under construction

Configure Serial Port with stty on Linux

Set the default configuration with stty to cisco console default, 9600 bps, 8N1, no flow control:

stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 litout -crtscts

or:

stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 cs8 -parenb -cstopb -echo raw speed 9600

 # What the arguments mean:
 #   cs8:     8 data bits
 #   -parenb: No parity (because of the '-')
 #   -cstopb: 1 stop bit (because of the '-')
 #   -echo: Without this option, Linux will sometimes automatically send back
 #          any received characters, even if you are just reading from the serial
 #          port with a command like 'cat'. Some terminals will print codes
 #          like "^B" when receiving back a character like ASCII ETX (hex 03).

Console Access with Screen on Linux

For this you will need a USB console cable. These can be picked up on amazon for about $9-$12.

  1. Connect your the USB console cable from the computers usb port to the cisco RJ-45 console port.

  2. Install the screen program if you dont already have it.

apt install screen
  1. Find the USB device.

If its the first USB serial device you plugged in, it should be /dev/ttyUSB0. The second one should be /dev/ttyUSB1, etc.

You can verify with with ls /dev | grep USB

  1. Run screen

You will need root access.

screen /dev/ttyUSB0

Running with a specific baudrate.

screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

To exit screen, hit Ctrl-a, Ctrl-d

If you have trouble with the connection, e.g. it lags or is funky, cisco serial connections require the following settings by default:

  • 9600 baud
  • 8 data bits
  • no parity
  • 1 stop bit
  • no flow control

To do that exactly with screen:

screen /dev/ttyS0 9600,cs8,-parenb,-cstopb,-hupcl
screen /dev/ttyS0 19200,cs8,-parenb,-cstopb,-hupcl
screen /dev/ttyS0 115200,cs8,-parenb,-cstopb,-hupcl

With odd parity:

screen /dev/ttyS0 9600,cs8,parenb,parodd,-cstopb,-hupcl

With even parity:

screen /dev/ttyS0 9600,cs8,parenb,-parodd,-cstopb,-hupcl
