Background / Scenario
The switches at your company were configured by an inexperienced network administrator. Several errors in
the configuration have resulted in speed and connectivity issues. Your manager has asked you to
troubleshoot and correct the configuration errors and document your work. Using your knowledge of
EtherChannel and standard testing methods, find and correct the errors. Ensure that all of the EtherChannels
use Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP), and that all hosts are reachable.
Note: The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other
switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the
commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs.
Note: Make sure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure,
contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.
Required Resources
3 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
2 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with a terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
