Description
In this particular lab students will be connecting to the devices using the console
port, please check with the instructor for the console server details in case the
access is given through the console / Terminal server.
Procedure
Section A, Reset configuration files.
Section B, Verify the OS & Hardware Information.
Section C, Basic Switch Configuration.
Section D, Basic Router Configuration.
Section E, Basic Troubleshooting.
Section A: Resetting the Device to the Factory Default
Load Factory Default Configuration

In this section, you will reset both your router and switch back to their factory
defaults. This involves deleting their saved configuration file in flash, rebooting
them, and verifying that the devices come up with a base configuration.
Commands you can use include:

system-view
reset saved-configuration
reboot
display current-configuration
display interface
display stp
stp enable
save
Tip:
Use the ? (question mark) to find available options for any particular commands. For example:
<H3C> display device ?
1. Log into your router’s console and reset it back to its factory defaults.
After reloading, what is the default name of the router? ______________

What is the default status of the router’s interfaces? ________________
2. On the router, save the current configuration to flash.
3. Log into your switch’s console and reset it back to its factory defaults.
After reloading, what is the default name of the switch? ______________

What is the default status of the switch’s interfaces? ________________
Is STP enabled, by default, on the switch? ________________________
4. Enable STP on the switch globally (not on an interface) and verify that it is
enabled.
Tip:
STP has been enabled to prevent any inadvertent layer-2 loops; if a loop occurred, the CPU
cycles on a device could reach 100%, making console access difficult, if not impossible.
5. On the switch, save its current configuration to flash.

Section B: Verify the OS and Hardware Information
Checking the current software and hardware details

In this section, you will verify the switch’s and router’s configuration and operation.

When you execute the “save” command, what is the name of the file, in flash,
where this is stored? ________________
What file extension is used to denote the operating system that will be loaded?
_________________
Note:
The flash file system commands are accessed from the user view, not from the system view.
4. On your router, delete the startup.cfg file in flash and verify that it was deleted.
Did the size of flash decrease after deleting the file on the router? _________
5. View the deleted file in the recycle bin.
What special characters appear before and after the filename of the deleted
file? ___________________
6. On your router, restore the deleted file from the recycle bin and verify that it
appears in a directory listing.
7. On the router, permanently delete the startup.cfg file on your router (use the
“/unreserved” option). View all the files in flash (deleted and undeleted).
Do you see the deleted file in the recycle bin?
8. Save the router’s running configuration to flash.
9. On the router, delete the “startup.cfg” file in flash. Then empty the recycle bin.
Do you see the startup.cfg file with the “dir /all” command?
10. Save the router’s running configuration to flash.

Section C: Basic Switch configuration
Basic Switch Configuration Tasks
The default switch name is H3C. For this labs purpose we are going to name the
switch Switchx, where “x” represent the pod number assigned to you. You will also
enable one interface to your connected router and one interface to the
CoreSwitch-1. You’ll then place a basic IP configuration on the switch, where all
the devices in the network will be in VLAN 1, whose subnet is 10.254.254.0/24.
You’ll also allow telnet access to the switch.
Use the following chart to determine the IP addresses to use for this exercise; if
your pod is 10, use 0 for “x”.
Device Interface IP address
CoreRouter-1 G0/0 10.254.254.101

CoreRouter-2 G0/0 10.254.254.102
CoreSwitch-1 Vlan 1 10.254.254.201
Routerx G0/0 10.254.254.1x
Switchx Vlan 1 10.254.254.2x

1. Change the name of your switch to Switchx, where “x” is your pod number.
What is displayed in your prompt? ________________________.
2. Created a local user account called “admin”. This user should be allowed telnet
access and the password for the account should “3com”, in lower case, and
should be in clear text.
WARNING:
All passwords MUST BE “3com”—this facilities using the lab gear for multiple classes. Thank you
for your assistance in this matter.
3. Set up 5 vtys (0-4) to use the local authentication scheme. Allow only the telnet
protocol for the vtys.
4. Enable the telnet server.
5. Create a level 3 super password of “3com”, lower case—this is equivalent to

Cisco’s “enable password” and “enable secret” commands.
6. Enable the G1/0/4 interface connected to the RouterX and give it a description
that includes this will be an Access Port in VLAN 20x (the access port will be
configured in the next lab).
7. Verify that the G1/0/4 interface is active.
What does an interface status of “UP line protocol is DOWN” mean?

______________________________________________________
8. Enable the G10/5 interface connected to the RouterX and give it a description
that includes that this will be a trunk port (the trunk port will be configured in the
next lab).
9. Verify that the G1/0/5 interface is active.
10. Enable the G1/0/11 interface connected to the CoreSwitch-1 and give it a
description. Verify that the interface is active.
11. Disable the G1/0/12, interface connected to the CoreSwitch-1 and give it a
description. Verify that the interface is Administratively Down.
12. Disable the G1/0/21 and G1/0/22 interfaces connected to the CoreSwitch-2 and
give it a description. Verify that the interface is Administratively Down.
13. If any other interface is enabled on SwitchX, disable it and verify that it is
Administratively Down. (only interfaces G1/0/2, G1/0/4, G1/0/5, and G1/0/11
should be enabled).
14. Create the VLAN 1 interface, enable it, and give it the appropriate IP address
based on the table above. Verify that the interface is active and that it has the
correct IP address configured.
15. Save the switch’s configuration to flash.

Section D: Basic Router configuration
Basic Router Configuration Tasks

The default router name is H3C. For this labs purpose we are going to name the
switch Routerx, where “x” represent the pod number assigned to you. You will also
enable one interface to your connected switch place a basic IP configuration on it,
where all the devices will be in VLAN 1, whose subnet is 10.254.254.0/24. You’ll
also allow telnet access to the router.
Use the following chart to determine the IP addresses to use for this exercise; if
your pod is 10, use 0 for “x”.
Device Interface IP address
CoreRouter-1 G0/0 10.254.254.101
CoreRouter-2 G0/0 10.254.254.102

1. Change the name of your router to Routerx, where “x” is your pod number.
What is displayed in your prompt? ________________________.
2. Set up the aux port so that the instructor can access it while you are on your
console. You’ll need to first enable the “interface aux 0”. Next, set up the
user-interface aux 0 with a simple password of “3com” (lower case), a privilege
level of 3, and an idle timeout of 120 minutes.
3. Created a local user account called “admin”. This user should be allowed telnet
access and the password for the account should “3com”, in lower case, and
should be encrypted.
4. Set up 5 vtys (0-4) to use the local authentication scheme. Allow only the telnet
protocol for the vtys.
5. Enable the telnet server.
6. Create a level 3 super password of “3com”, lower case—this is equivalent to

Cisco’s “enable password” and “enable secret” commands.
7. Remove the existing IP address on the G0/0 interface. Enable the G0/0
interface connected to the SwitchX and give it a description. Assign it an
appropriate IP address (based on the above chart) in the 10.254.254.0/24
subnet. Verify that the interface is active.
8. Save the router’s configuration to flash.

Section E: Basic troubleshooting
Basic testing and troubleshooting

In this section you’ll test layer-2 and layer-3 connectivity in the network. You’ll use
LLDP which is similar to the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP); unlike CDP, LLDP is
an open standard. Currently, only H3C switches support LLDP; support will soon be
added to the H3C routers.
You’ll also use some additional commands that will help you in basic
troubleshooting tasks.
Here are some commands you’ll use:

debug ip icmp
display arp
display cpu-usage
display diagnostic-information
display history-command
display interface
display ip interface brief
display lldp status
display lldp neighbor
display mac-address
display memory
ping
super
telnet
terminal debugging
undo debug all
1. Access the console of SwitchX and verify that you see the core switch as an
LLDP neighbor.
What is the system name of the core switch? __________________________
On what core switch port is your local switch connected to? ______________
How often are LLDP updates advertised?_____________________________
2. On the console of SwitchX, make sure you can ping RouterX, CoreSwitch-1,
CoreRouter-1, and at least one neighboring pod device. If you are having a
problem, make sure that the interfaces are enabled and that the VLAN 1
interface has the correct IP address.
3. On the console of the switch, examine the ARP table.
What is the MAC address of CoreSwitch-1 (10.254.254.201)? ______________
What is the MAC address of CoreRouter-1 (10.254.254.101)? ______________
4. On the console of the switch, examine the MAC address table.
What VLAN are the CoreSwitch-1 and Core-Router-1 in? ________________
5. On the console of your SwitchX, change to User View and telnet to

RouterX—log in using “admin/3com” as a username and password. If you are
having a problem, make sure that RouterX has a telnet server enabled, the
VTYs are configured, and that the admin account has been properly configured.
To access Privilege mode functions, you need to use the super command with
its corresponding password (“3com”). Use CNTRL-K to about the telnet.
6. From the console of your RouterX, make sure you can ping SwitchX,
CoreSwitch-1, CoreRouter-1, and at least one neighboring pod device.
7. On RouterX, change to User View and telnet to SwitchX—log in using

“admin/3com” as a username and password.
8. Display the commands you have currently executed up to this point.
9. Create a diagnostic report.

Tip:
You may want to capture your Hyper Terminal session before executing the display
diagnostic-information command. Sometimes, H3C/3Com Technical Support engineers may
ask you to send this log. To assistance in this process, use the screen-length disabled
command (this is equivalent to Cisco’s terminal length 0 command). Using this command
removes the need of hitting the space bar to page through the output—all output is displayed and
then the prompt is redisplayed.
10. View the CPU and memory utilization of your switch.
What is the CPU utilization? ____________________________
What is the memory usage? ____________________________
11. Access the console of your router and ping CoreRouter-1.
12. From the console of your router, enable output of debugging messages to the
console with the terminal command.
13. From the console of your router, turn on the debugging for IP ICMP with the
debug command. Repeat the ping process to the CoreRouter-1.
How is the console output different from the previous ping?
14. Disable all debug processes on your router.
Tip:
Sometimes once you enable terminal debugging, the screen becomes flooded with debugging
information output. If that’s the case and you would like to turn off all debugging, simply ignore
what you see on the terminal screen and type “u d a”, which stands for undo debugging all and
hit enter. CNTRL+O will also disable debugging.
Some other shortcuts you might want to remember include CTRL+G corresponds to the display
current-configuration command; and CTRL+L corresponds to the display ip routing-table
command.
15. Disable output of debugging messages to the console terminal.
16. This completes this lab exercise.
