Time management is very important, if you get stuck on a lab scenario be sure to write it down.
Formulate a Checklist for skipped sections and then return to those sections once you have gone
through the entire lab. Be sure to revisit the questions that you do not understand.

This lab will test your knowledge on several items of CCIE Wireless
blueprint version 2. The wording in the LAB questions might seem extra
hard because they are meant to prepare the candidate to read in between
the lines. The network and WLCs are partly pre-configured in order to save
time but some of the configurations have to be altered to meet the exam
requirements

et

sa
lta

ce
ns

ed

el

lip

ex
cl
r u

The fact that WLC are pre-configured doesnt mean that there are no tasks
where you have to rectify wrong pre-configs or make some small changes,
both on the WLCs and the network. Those are all part of solving this lab.
Throughout this lab you may expect to rectify basic IP connectivity issues
on more than one occasion. This is meant to prepare the candidate not to
take anything for granted and stay focused while the lab tries to confuse
you.

Li

This lab will use ALL equipment in the LAB 1: topology. Refer to the names
of the equipment on that topology.
When configuring WLANs/ SSIDs. The lab refers to SSID-XX replace XX
with your pod number where POD01 is for example SSID-01
Unless otherwise indicated, use admin for usernames and IPexpert123
for passwords.
It is strongly advised to read the whole LAB over before you start
configuring. And in each section read it briefly over to refresh. In some
sections some later tasks would better be done first
Estimated Time to Complete: 8 hours

Cat1 should be the root for odd numbered VLANs in the HQ
Cat2 should be the root for the even numbered VLANs in the HQ
Do not configure Cat3 for the last question above.

L2 switching in HQ: To prepare your network we need to take extra care that the network is
properly set up. All future configurations with wireless components will rely on the network to
work. Please bear in mind that most wireless issues are related to the network. The Proctor
Labs lab environment will have some preconfigured equipment. It is up to you to change
configuration according to the requirements in this lab.

Li

Site HQ: Cat1 SVIs always have the last IP usable address from each VLAN network. Cat2
SVIs always have next IP address below in each VLAN network. VLAN 10 should be .2 on Cat1
and .3 on Cat2. Cat3 only needs SVI Interface and IP address in VLAN10 (HQSwitchMgmt). For
Cat3 VLAN10 SVI, Use IP address 10.10.10.4/24. VLAN 5 is preconfigured dont change that
as that will ruin management access to your servers.

Create the SVIs on your appropriate HQ switches and ensure you have
connectivity between all L3 interfaces. Refer to table 1 for the VLAN IDs. HQ,
MO have different VTP domains as can be seen in table 1.

Create a Loopback99 interface on your Cat1 with IP 10.99.99.99/32

o On Cat1 and Cat2, Use a Cisco proprietary method to create a redundant
SVI for VLAN 12.
o The VLAN 12 virtual IP should be the next available IP address below
Cat1 and Cat2.
o Cat1 should always be the primary router for VLAN 12 and in case of
failure it should revert back when things go back to normal.
Create a DHCP pool for VLAN 12. The pool starts from .65 and ends with .125.

recommend
o VoIP SCCP AVVID gets value of 24 (CS3) instead of the default 26
(AF31) VoIP RTP stream gets value of 46 (EF) instead of the default 40.
The traffic from MO should have a policy that marks skinny traffic and RTP VOIP
traffic.
o Skinny is TCP port 2000
o RTP traffic is UDP port range 16384 to 32767.
o It is uncertain that the ISP is marking the packets correctly over the WAN.

VLAN 17. As the industrial PC is not ready yet. Configure DHCP on AAP2
to see DHCP work. Configure DHCP on Cat1 for VLAN 17. Exclude the
first 9 addresses.
o Use the most secure EAP option that is Cisco proprietary
The Crane is mobile. Ensure that it only scans non-overlapping channels in your
2.4 GHz frequency. So it uses the least time to scan channels when moving

the lines. The network and WLCs are partly pre-configured in order to save
time but some of the configurations have to be altered to meet the exam
requirements.

The fact that WLCs are pre-configured doesnt mean that there are no tasks
where you have to rectify wrong pre)configs or make some small changes,
both on the WLCs and the network. Those are all part of solving this lab.
Throughout this lab you may expect to rectify basic IP connectivity issues
on more than one occasion. This is meant to prepare the candidate not to
take anything for granted and stay focused while the lab tries to confuse
you.
This lab will use ALL equipment in the LAB 2: topology. Refer to the names
of the equipments on that topology.
When configuring WLANs/SSIDs, the lab refers to SSID-XX, replace XX
with your pod number where POD01 is for example SSID-01

1.2 QoS

v3150

et

Make sure that every port has the right QoS configuration. We want to trust layer
3 tagging of traffic on all ports susceptible to transport voice traffic.
The traffic from the headquarters should preserve its QoS tagging across the
WAN link to the remote office. It seems the ISP doesnt preserve this tagging so
make sure that the traffic is re-tagged accordingly after crossing the WAN.
Skinny uses TCP port 2000 and RTP uses UDP port range 16384 to 32767.
Make sure that you are as precise as possible and do not tag traffic that would
not be voice traffic.

To reach any internet (i.e. behind WAN / non-local) resource, switches from the
headquarters should use Cat2 as gateway since Cat2 has the right static route
towards outside.
When you need to create an interface on a WLC, use the last digit of the
management interface to determine the last digit of your dynamic interface. For
example, a WLC with a management ip on 10.10.110.10 will have all its dynamic
interfaces ending by .10
Connectivity between all Cat switches should be fine. Cat4 default gateway
should not be mentioned with an IP address but with an outgoing interface on
Cat4.
The 3 client VLANs are split in 2 between Cat1 and Cat2. Make sure that the
Catalysts do not operate on those VLANs as load-balanced gateway and
configure OSPF routing to make sure every switch is aware of those subnets.
OSPF should use a loopback interface to identify itself to other routers and Cat1
should be the designated router. OSPF updates should only be sent through
VLAN 10 when possible.
Make sure that only the necessary VLANs are allowed on each trunk ports.

On Cat1, ports fa0/13 to fa0/20 included will be connected with desk IP phones

WLC 2 and 4 should be configured with the same WLANs.


HQData SSID should use enterprise-class authentication with 802.11i
encryption. It should not forward traffic into any valid subnet until the user
authenticates at which point it will select the VLAN depending on the user
group. User admin belongs to user group department1; user john
belongs to department2 and user lisa to department3. Users from group
department1 should be granted access to VLAN 12 or 32 depending
where they connect from (Users connecting through WLC2 should use
lower numbered VLANs and users connecting through WLC4 should use
higher numbered VLANs). Users from group department2 should be
given access to VLAN 13 or 33 depending on the same conditions and
users from group department3 to VLAN 14 or 34. Users should have
their identity re-verified every 60 minutes and they should not be able to
use a static IP address. Since we know that old clients will use this SSID,
the WLC should not pay attention and take actions if clients refuse to roam
and stay connected at very bad signal strength. Clients of this SSID
should not be able to exchange files between themselves directly.
HQVoice SSID should use a shared-key authentication with RSN
encryption. It should balance the clients between VLAN 15 and 16.

a dedicated controller serving as fallback for WLC3. The clients will be

clients. You have to make sure that traffic never gets released on the
headquarters side.
We need to make sure that the clients will be placed in that VLAN even if
the access points move to WLC1 because WLC3 went down.
The SSID MOGuest will have a pre-shared key IPexpert123 using
standards with the best RC4-based encryption as well as a web
authentication portal hosted on the controller itself.
The SSID MOData will use the best encryption standard available and will
authenticate users against ACS.
The SSID MOVoice will use a Cisco-proprietary fast roaming mechanism
and the best encryption/authentication standard among those that have no
fast-roaming mechanism on their own. The Cisco proprietary fast roaming
mechanism should not be mandatory to use the SSID.

WLC1 and 3 are the only WLC susceptible to manage Medium Office
access points while WLC 2 and 4 are the only ones to manage

other (but not to 1 and 3) to elect RF-leader and make RF decisions while
WLC1 and 3 talk to each other but not to 2 and 4 for those decisions.
All WLCs should:
o Support all data rates above 11Mbps (included) on 2.4 GHz.
11Mbps being the only mandatory rate.
o The WLC will increase the power (if possible) on an AP if 5 clients
are detected to be sticking with low signal.
o Never bring an AP transmission power lower than 1dbm
o Support all data rates above 12Mbps (included) on 5 GHz. 12Mbps
being the only mandatory rate
o Support beamforming on 11n-class access points when dealing
with 11a/g clients.
o Lower the APs transmission power if several surrounding APs are
heard at -67 or louder.
o Support phones and devices that make their transmit power
variable depending on AP power level
o When selecting a channel for an AP, the WLC should take into
account the load of other Cisco APs as well as rogues in the
deployment (for example 2 APs could be on the same channel next
to each other if they have relatively low load).
o If CleanAir APs, thanks to their CleanAir chipset, detect a specific
source of interference, this should count in the algorithm decision if
its worth to change channel immediately.

Ensure that both voice SSIDs follow usual VoWlan recommendations like :
o It must support the phones sending tagged voice UP traffic.
o They should allow phones to sleep and only wake up every 2
beacons for broadcast buffered traffic.
o The APs should not do off-channel scanning (for RRM, rogue
scanning purposes etc ..) in the 200ms after they last received a
voice-tagged frame (and only in this case)
o The AP should block phones to initiate a new call if there is not
enough bandwidth available and should therefore reserve 10% of
their bandwidth for roaming devices.
o For the medium access parameters, do not use the 802.11e
parameters but optimize the channel access timers for Voice. Also
limit the amount of wireless retries.

The fact that WLC are pre-configured doesnt mean that there are no tasks
where you have to rectify wrong pre-configs or make some changes. Both
on the WLCs APs and the network. Those are all part of solving this lab.
Throughout this lab you may expect to rectify basic IP connectivity issues.
In this lab and the real lab we cannot take anything for and stay focused.

This lab will use All equipment in the LAB 1: topology. Refer to the names of
the equipment on that topology. Rectify names according to Table 2.

When configuring WLANs/ SSIDs. If the lab refers to SSID-XX replace XX


with your pod number where POD01 is for example SSID-01
Unless otherwise indicated, use admin for usernames and IPexpert123
for passwords. When not specially mentioned use 2,4 GHz frequency.
It is strongly advised to read the whole LAB over before you start
configuring. And read each section briefly over to refresh your memory. In
some sections some later tasks would better be done first. Tip: WCS
templates may seriously speed things up!

To prepare your network we need to take extra care that the network is properly set up. All
future configurations with wireless components will rely on the network. Please bear in mind that
most wireless issues are related to the network. The Proctor Labs lab environment will have
some preconfigured equipment. It is up to you to change configuration according to the
requirements in this lab.

Site HQ: Do not configure or change anything that is not requested by the lab.
Cat1 is SVI has always the first IP address from each VLAN network.
Cat2 is SVI has always second IP address in each VLAN network.
For Cat3 VLAN10 SVI, Use IP address 10.10.10.4/24

Create the SVIs on your appropriate HQ switches and ensure you have
connectivity between all L3 interfaces. Refer to table 1 for the VLAN IDs. HQ,
MO have different VTP domains as can be seen in table 1. VLANs should flow
between all 3 switches in the HQ.
Create a Loopback99 interface on your CAT1 with ip 10.99.99.99/32
o Use a link state open standard based routing protocol to advertise
Loopback99 to CAT2.
o Only advertise loopback99 in your configuration.
o Dont summarize the classful networks in your routing domain.
VLAN 12 should be redundant for CAT1 and CAT2
o On CAT1 and CAT2, Use a Cisco proprietary method to create a
redundant SVI for VLAN 12.
o The VLAN 12 virtual IP should be the next available ip address after CAT1
and CAT2 .
o CAT1 should always be the primary router for VLAN12 and in case of
failure it should revert back when things go back to normal.

Controllers should synch time every 2 hours.
CAT1 should be the NTP master for all switches and routers. For routers and
switches: use password "ipexpert" for NTP authentication. Use EST timezone -5.
CAT1 should answer ntp requests only on VLAN10 and only allow switches and
routers in your network to synch time with CAT1. CAT2 uses VLAN5 IP, CAT4
uses VLAN20 IP and CAT3 uses VLAN10 IP address for NTP communications.
Dont forget the autonomous APs ! Configure them to use the same time

access should be redundant too.
Configure Port 1 so no other VLANs are allowed except guests and for
management redundancy purposes (4.10)
Create the WLAN HQ-guests-xx on all HQ WLCs. HQ WLCs should transport
all guest access traffic to WLC1 Vlan 11 and they should traverse default out of
Port1 on WLC1.
Use SSID HQ-guests-XX. There are also complaints that users from APs on
WLC2 and also other users trying to roam to APs on WLC2 dont work. This
problem is seen mainly on the guest SSID. Rectify the mobility config so it will be
seamless.
o No encryption
o Web-splash page will authenticate guest users on WLC1
o The guest SSID hast to work on all APs in the HQ. Guest need to reach

This lab will test your knowledge on several items of CCIE Wireless
blueprint version 2. The wording in the LAB questions might seem tricky but
they are supposed to prepare the candidate to read in between the lines.
The network and WLCs are partly pre-configured but some of the
configuration have to be altered to meet the exam requirements

The fact that WLC are pre-configured doesnt mean that there are no tasks
where you have to rectify wrong pre-configs or make some changes. Both
on the WLCs APs and the network. Those are all part of solving this lab.
Throughout this lab you may expect to rectify basic IP connectivity issues.
In this lab and the real lab we cannot take anything for and stay focused.

ce
ns

This lab will use All equipment in the LAB 4: topology. Refer to the names of
the equipment on that topology. Rectify names according to Table 2.

Li

When configuring WLANs/ SSIDs. If the lab refers to SSID-XX replace XX


with your pod number where POD01 is for example SSID-01
Unless otherwise indicated, use admin for usernames and IPexpert123
for passwords. When not specially mentioned use 2,4 GHz frequency.
It is strongly advised to read the whole LAB over before you start
configuring. And read each section briefly over to refresh your memory. In
some sections some later tasks would better be done first. Tip: WCS
templates may seriously speed things up!

To prepare your network we need to take extra care that the network is properly set up. All
future configurations with wireless components will rely on the network. Please bear in mind that
most wireless issues are related to the network. The Proctor Labs LAB environment will have
some preconfigured equipment. It is up to you to change configuration according to the
requirements in this LAB.

CAT1 is SVI has always the first IP address from each VLAN network.
CAT2 is SVI has always second IP address in each VLAN network.
VLAN 10 should be .2 on CAT1 and .3 on CAT2 dont change them.
For CAT3 VLAN10 SVI, Use ip address 10.10.10.4/24

connectivity between all L3 interfaces. Refer to table 1 for the VLAN IDs. HQ,
MO have different VTP domains as can be seen in table 1. HQ should be able to
reach all networks on CAT4. CAT4 should reach any network in HQ. Dont use a
routing protocol in any of your switches. VLAN10 on CAT1 and CAT2 is not
working for some reason. Find out and rectify. CAT1 will have the first IP in each
SVI1 and CAT2 should have the second IP in each SVI. (Apart from VLANs
already created on the switches.)

MO WLC 3 should advertise multicast group for its locally registered APs. Use
239.x.x.x where x is the last 3 digits in MO WLC 3 Management IP. All CAT4
VLANs should have multicast routing enabled for CAT4. Use a method that
doesnt flood your network as it should be built for growth later. On your CAT4 ,
use RP address of 10.99.254.254/30. When the IGMP timeout expires (70
seconds), the controller sends a query to all WLANs. Those clients which are
listening in the multicast group should send a packet back to the controller
The traffic from MO should have a policy that marks skinny traffic and RTP VOIP
traffic with the RTP and Skinny (not encrypted) known udp and tcp ports.

o CAT1 should answer ntp requests only on VLAN10 and only allow
switches and routers in your network to synch time with CAT1. CAT2 uses
VLAN5 IP, CAT4 uses VLAN20 IP and CAT3 uses VLAN10 IP address for

those Aps are listed in table 2. Configure your network accordingly. This
should be done for all other LAP APs.
o Exclude the range from 1 to 20 and 200 to 254.
Make sure that WLC2 will be primary Controller for LAP2 and WLC4 Primary
controller for LAP3. Mobility group should be named HQ2 for WLC2 and HQ4 for

secondary is WLC4 and LAP3 secondary is WLC2.
LAP4 and LAP5 should join WLC3 with DHCP from Cat4. You are forbidden to
enter option 43 or DNS on your MS DHCP. Also you cant use the AP CLI to
manually join them. Use the network to deliver the LAP management traffic to
WLC3. Set those APs on VLAN 121 on CAT4:

You are at the end of LAB 4. It is a bit difficult to finish in 8 hours. Harder the training thus easier
the battle. The question phrasing can slow you down as it might do on the actual LAB. So I hope
this was a good exercise. Do this lab many times to practice speed and work on things you want
to improve in the meantime. I recommend having a LAB strategy in place that you practice when
you take this LAB because this LAB is built up from the blueprint sections and hopefully
prepares you for the actual LAB.

o CAT2 is SVI has always second IP address in each VLAN network.
o VLAN 10 should be .2 on CAT1 and .3 on CAT2 dont change them.
o For CAT3 VLAN10 SVI, Use ip address 10.10.10.4/24
o VLAN 5 ip configuration should not be changed
o CAT1 needs to reach WCS. Dont use a routing protocol to accomplish
this. CAT2 need to reach all networks on MO. Use EIGRP. MO should
have default route distributed via the routing protocol. Let the SVI
interfaces only be advertised in your EIGRP configuration
o Use the DHCP pool for VLAN12 on CAT1, dont give out addresses from
1. -60. Default gateway is .2:
CAT4 should be ready to exchange and serve VLAN configuration to other
switches.VTP domain should be MO4.Prepare VLAN22 for IPv6 connectivity
using IPv6 with dhcp functionality DHCP on CAT4. This will be needed later for
clients connecting to WLC3 MOData1-xx SSID. use any link local address you

QOS:

On all routers and switches, trust layer2 and layer3 QOS markings where
appropriate. Between switches trust layer2 QOS tagging.
Tune your COS to DSCP mapping (and vice versa) as Cisco best practices
recommend
VoIP SCCP AVVID gets value of 24 (CS3) instead of the default 26 (AF31)
VoIP RTP stream gets value of 46 (EF) instead of the default 40.

MO WLC 3 should advertise multicast group for its locally registered APs. Use
239.x.x.x where x is the last 3 digits in MO WLC 3 Management IP. All CAT4
VLANs should have multicast routing enabled for CAT4. Use a method that
doesnt flood your network as it should be built for growth later. On your CAT4,
use RP address of 10.99.254.254/30. When the IGMP timeout expires (70
seconds), the controller sends a query to all WLANs. Those clients which are
listening in the multicast group should send a packet back to the controller.
The traffic from MO should have a policy that marks skinny traffic and RTP VOIP
traffic with the RTP and Skinny (not encrypted) known udp and tcp ports.
Ensure the correct marking is maintained when VoIP traffic enters MO from HQ
and vice versa.
There will be phones on CAT3 ports 12-19. Voice VLAN is 16.
We dont trust marking over the cloud network between MO CAT4 and HQ
CAT2. We need to ensure that voice traffic (skinny and sccp) will be marked
correctly between MO and HQ. Make a policy that marks this traffic correctly

You are at the end of LAB 5. It should be easily done in 7 hours with 1 hour to verify and
complete tasks you left unfinished. Because most of the network is configured we only need to
find errors built into the network. This is essential to pass the lab, there must be some time left
to verify and fix things. There will be some mistakes and we should take it into account. The
question phrasing can slow you down as it might do on the actual LAB. Calculate your score.
The passing score is 85 points or above. Be critical in your scoring, no partial score is allowed if
one item is not correct in a multi item question. Do this lab many times to practice speed and
work on things you want to improve in the meantime. I recommend having a LAB strategy in
place that you practice when you take this LAB because this LAB is built up from the blueprint
sections and hopefully prepares you for the actual LAB.
