Cisco Equipment Configuration

Context​

Complete configuration of a Cisco network infrastructure: VLANs, ACLs, link aggregation, NAT/PAT and IPv6 addressing.

Objectives​

  • Configure VLANs and inter-VLAN routing
  • Implement ACLs for traffic filtering
  • Configure link aggregation (EtherChannel)
  • Implement NAT/PAT for Internet access
  • Deploy dual-stack IPv6 addressing

Technologies Used​

  • Cisco IOS: equipment operating system
  • VLAN / Trunk: network segmentation
  • ACL: Access Control Lists
  • EtherChannel (LACP): link aggregation
  • NAT/PAT: address translation
  • IPv6: next-generation addressing
  • Packet Tracer: network simulation

Configuration Example - ACL​

ip access-list extended VLAN10_TO_SERVERS
 permit tcp 10.0.10.0 0.0.0.255 host 10.0.20.10 eq 80
 permit tcp 10.0.10.0 0.0.0.255 host 10.0.20.10 eq 443
 permit icmp 10.0.10.0 0.0.0.255 10.0.20.0 0.0.0.255
 deny ip any any log
