CCNA Discovery: Designing and Supporting Computer Networks
Chapter 7 Case Study
Prototyping the Campus Network
Note: This case study utilizes Packet Tracer.
Please see the Chapter 7 Packet Tracer file located in
Supplemental Materials.
Introduction and Scenario
It is recommended to test a new network design before approval or deployment which provides a proof ‐ of ‐ concept for the design.
Two methods of accomplishing this are prototyping and/or installing a pilot on the existing network to identify risks and weaknesses.
Before performing either one, a detailed test plan should be created.
This test plan document includes an equipment list, logical and physical topologies, testing descriptions and procedures as well as results and conclusions.
You have been contracted by the ABC Company to prototype their enterprise network following specific guidelines as outlined in their requirements document below.
The company has provided you with the network topology and their IP addressing scheme they propose to use when deployed.
You notice that this design includes redundancy at all layers in this hierarchical model.
Out of several choices, you
decide to use Packet Tracer as the tool of choice for prototyping the network.

Using the IP addressing table above, connect all devices as shown in the topology diagram except for the Gateway Edge Router R5 and ISP devices.
Step 1: Configure the hostnames, interface IP addresses, and default gateways on switches S1, S2, S3, and S4, PC1 and all of the servers.
Step 2: Configure basic security on switches S1, S2, S3, and S4.
Configure privileged mode secret password and require login on VTY ports 0 and 1 only.
Step 3: Create VLAN21, VLAN22 and VLAN23 on switches S1, S2, S3, and S4.
Assign proper switchport roles to all connected interfaces and the proper VLAN numbers to ports that connect to end user devices.
Step 4: Set the STP priority on switch S3 to 4096 for all VLANs to make it the primary root bridge.
Set the
STP priority on switch S4 to 8192 for all VLANs to make it the secondary root bridge.
Step 5: Configure Fa0/0 sub ‐ interfaces and inter ‐ vlan routing parameters on routers R1 and R2 with the
IP addresses shown in the table.
Step 6: Configure the hostnames, interface IP addresses on routers R1, R2, R3, and R4.
Configure basic security on switches S1, S2, S3, and S4.
Configure privileged mode secret password and require login on
VTY ports 0 ‐ 4.
Step 7: Configure EIGRP routing for AS 100 on R1, R2, R3, and R4 and advertise all connected networks.
Disable EIGRP automatic route summarization on all routers.
Step 8: Verify full connectivity from PC1 to all servers.
Make sure PC1 can reach the ISP Web server.
Perform basic connectivity tests using ping, trace route, telnet, relative show and debug commands.
Step 9 : Simulate a failure in the switched portion of the network and verify and observe recovery.
Step 10: Simulate a failure in the routed portion of the network and verify and observe recovery.
