In this part of the video, the speaker introduces a CCNA version 7 Packet Tracer activity focusing on VLAN configuration. The objectives include verifying default VLAN configuration, configuring a new VLAN, and assigning ports to specific VLANs. The background information emphasizes the role of VLANs in logical group administration. The demonstration involves checking default VLAN settings on switches s1, s2, and s3, where all interfaces are initially assigned to VLAN 1. The video shows how to verify and view current VLAN configurations using specific commands on the switches.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses VLAN configurations and demonstrates verifying connectivity between PCs on the same network. Primary benefits of VLANs are mentioned, including security, performance, cost reduction, and broadcast mitigation. The speaker shows a network topology with PCs in VLANs 10, 20, and 30, highlighting which PCs are in the same VLANs. Ping tests are conducted between PCs in the same subnet to confirm connectivity within VLANs.

00:06:00

In this part of the video, the key actions focus on configuring VLANs on a switch. The process involves creating VLANs with specific names that are case sensitive and must match requirements exactly for scoring purposes. The video demonstrates how to create VLAN 10 with the name “faculty/staff” in global configuration mode, followed by creating VLANs 20, 30, 99, and 150 with their respective names. The video emphasizes using the correct syntax and commands. Verification of the VLAN configuration is done using a specific command that displays VLAN names, status, and associated ports on the switch.

00:09:00

In this segment of the video, the speaker demonstrates how to create VLANs on switches s2 and s3 using commands similar to those used for switch s1. The process involves creating VLANs with specific names such as faculty, staff, students, guest, management, and voice on both s2 and s3 switches. The steps include entering the CLI mode, configuring terminal settings, and assigning names to the VLANs on each switch. Each VLAN is assigned a unique name for identification and configuration purposes.

00:12:00

In this segment of the video, the main points discussed are verifying the VLAN configurations on switches s2 and s3. It involves checking the VLAN configurations using the ‘show VLAN brief’ command on both switches. Additionally, the segment covers assigning VLANs to active ports on switch s2, configuring the interfaces as access ports, and allocating VLANs such as VLAN 10, VLAN 20, and VLAN 30 to specific ports. The demonstration includes commands for assigning VLANs to active ports like fastethernet 0/11, fastethernet 0/18, and fastethernet 0/6 on switch s2. Each assignment is linked to a specific PC connection indicated in the network topology.

00:15:00

In this segment of the video, the focus is on configuring interfaces on switch S3. The speaker goes through various interfaces, setting them to access mode and assigning VLANs. Specifically, the speaker configures VLAN 10 for fastethernet 0/1, VLAN 20 for fastethernet 0/18, and VLAN 30 for fastethernet 0/6. Additionally, the voice VLAN is set for fastethernet 0/11, which connects to a Cisco IP phone with integrated 10/100 switch ports. The configurations are detailed step by step for these specific interfaces on switch S3 in accordance with the topology shown.

00:18:00

In this part of the video, the focus is on configuring the network interface to support user and voice traffic using VLAN 10 and VLAN 150 respectively. Quality of Service (QoS) and Trust settings are crucial for IP voice traffic which requires minimum throughput for voice communication quality. The step-by-step commands for configuring voice VLAN and verifying connectivity between PCs on different VLANs are discussed. Troubleshooting steps involve checking VLAN assignments using the “show VLAN brief” command and testing communication between PCs.

00:21:00

In this part of the video, it is highlighted that packets are being sent with 100% loss due to switches being in the wrong mode (access instead of trunk) and ports not being in the correct VLAN for the connected PCs. The major solution proposed is to configure the link between switches as a trunk to resolve the issue. Further configuration details will be covered in the next video.
