One of the new features of the latest version of Ciscos Packet Tracer version 6.0 is the addition of a HWIC-8 module along with an 8 port octal cable. These new feature allows the user to create a Terminal Server using a router and the HWIC-8. The HWIC-8 is an 8 port Async-serial interface card that can be connected to the console port of other routers and switches using the 8 connector octal cable, providing one router to control them all. In this Free CCNA Lab we will demonstrate how to manage your lab routers and switches not only locally but remotely. This type of network management is referred to as In-Band and Out-Of-Band management, and we will learn to configure both of these technologies using Packet Tracer 6.0. We will also configure a DNS (Domain Naming Service) and RADIUS server to help us find and authenticate our network routers and switches.
Terminal Server:
A terminal or comm server commonly provides out-of-band access for multiple devices. A terminal server is a router with multiple, low speed, asynchronous ports that are connected to other serial devices, for example, modems or console ports on routers or switches. The terminal server allows you to use a single point to access the console ports of many devices. A terminal server eliminates the need to configure backup scenarios like modems on auxiliary ports for every device. You can also configure a single modem on the auxiliary port of the terminal server, to provide dial-up service to the other devices when network connectivity fails.
Learning Objectives:
Understand and configure In-Band network management. Understand and configure Out-Of Band network Management. Configure remote In-Band management through VPN Understand and Configure a Terminal Server. Configure remote Out-Of-Band management through PSTN.
Tasks:
1. Configure the routers and switches with in the local network with the following VLAN information: VLAN 10 20 25 30 35 100 125 135 1000 VLAN NAME Engineering Sales Seattle-Sales Service Seattle-Service Eng-Management Sales-Management Service-Management Native NETWORK 192.168.10.0/24 192.168.20.0/24 192.168.25.0/24 192.168.30.0/24 192.168.35.0/24 192.168.100.0/25 192.168.125.0/24 192.168.135.0/24 Trunk
2. Configure all routers and switches within Engineering, Sales, and Service so that they can be accessed via Telnet by their IP address or device name. 3. Connect local network to the ISP. 4. Configure the remote-office and connect it to the ISP. 5. Configure the RADIUS server to authenticate VPN access from remote-office. 6. Configure VPN access from remote-office. 7. Connect via VPN from remote office and test network management with Telnet. 8. Configure Terminal Server to access routers and switches with Telnet. 9. Configure PSTN access to Terminal Server and test access to routers and switches using Telnet.
