ed 5769 Day 3 wlan2 and Server 2008

Day 3 : vlan 2 and server 2008

Day 3 was a successful day. There was successful connection to the Alcatel switch via the serial to usb connection to the laptop. The Coolview software was easily connected and the Alcatel switch Ip address of 198.168.10.254 was still held.
The next step was more CLI commands on the Alcatel switch to make a v lan2 as we had already made a vlan-1.
This was confirmed on the show ip interface command that we had only a vlan1

The following CLI commands were used with the need to add a vlan-2 on the Alcatel switch.
aaa authentication default local (This will set up the switch to respond to web browser, telnet, and ftp requests)
vlan 2 (This creates a new vlan - vlan 2)
ip interface vlan-2 address 10.0.10.254. mask 255.255.0.0 vlan 2 (this command gave ip address for port 1 on the switch)
ip static-route 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 gateway 10.0.1.254 which was (The will be the next hop that packets will be forwarded to if they are undeliverable on the local switch)
vlan 2 port default 8/1 (sets up the vlan 2 networking port to be on slot 8 port 1 on the switch and starts forwarding packets)

The next thing to do is to verify that both vlans are assigned to the correct ports as well as forwarding traffic. We logged in to the switch using a web browser and using Webview. In a web browser go to 192.168.10.254
We saw the following on the web view brower going through the vlan link, we saw the 2 assigned vlans, 1 and 2 .
We logged back into theswitch via the terminal ( usb to serial) and ran the following CLI commands
Show vlan Show ip interface – where we say both ip interfaces are forwarding packets.

write memory (Saves the configuration to the working directory)
copy working certified (These last two commands permanently save the configuration to the switch.)

We pinged 192.168.10.254 from a workstation, and received a positive response from the switch.
We should have been able to ping the NAT/Firewall/Router at 192.168.1.1 and receive a reply back. We could not do this step cuz there needed to be some adjustments made by our instructor on this switch.J


The second part of the session was working a PC, collecting the vital information of hardware, as we prepared for server 2008 install.
We had to boot up the dell machine acting as a server from the DVD provide to us. There was no problem running the start up disc. We followed the instructions provided and setup the permissions. The server did have the static ip address 192.168.10.50, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway of 192.168.10.254
which we added.
We ran Windows Server 2008 basic as we only had 3 Gb of ram on the Dell machines.
