Anyone here got a clue about cisco networking?

So to check functionality I should be able to:

Ping from Router to Router
Ping from Either Router to any Workstation
Ping from workstation to workstation on same vlan
STP packet from switch to switch

Any more?

I think you can ping from switch to switch but you won't get a response from the switch when pinging it from a connected PC.

As I say, I took a step back before we got to VLANs and switch programming but am sure someone will be along who can help with this.

Thanks tho

Am currently just pinging from workstation to workstation and to router

all good so far

Should I be able to access workstations/vice versa from stock router?

If they are on the same VLAN I believe so yes.

*stoke router

Its just on the worksheet it doesnt say anything about configuring stoke vlans

hmm

Might be advisable to have a chat with your instructor/course helpline.

indeed - i'll ask tomorrow

just strange it doesnt say about touching the stoke router other than setting up a loopback

surely I need to configure something to allow vlans to it

I'm guessing that the stoke router probably has nothing to do really with this task and is just there as a reminder in how to setup a router and serial links. I presume that you will probably be covering inter-vlan routing soon which will enable you to contact workstations on other vlans, its basically just adding the networks on the sub interfaces to the routing protocol that you are using.
