Phase 1 (Beginner GUI + Single CLI Command)

Router Port IPs (GUI) & DHCP Relay (CLI)

Set up Router0 interfaces using Packet Tracer's visual Config Tab, then use the 1 required CLI command for DHCP relay!

Step 1A: Configure Router Interfaces in GUI (Config Tab)

  1. Click on ISR4331 Router0 in Packet Tracer.
  2. Click the Config Tab at the top.
  3. Under INTERFACES on the left menu:
    • Click GigabitEthernet0/0/0: Check Port Status: ON $\rightarrow$ IPv4 Address: 192.168.50.1 $\rightarrow$ Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Click GigabitEthernet0/0/1: Check Port Status: ON $\rightarrow$ IPv4 Address: 192.168.100.1 $\rightarrow$ Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Click GigabitEthernet0/0/2: Check Port Status: ON $\rightarrow$ IPv4 Address: 192.168.200.1 $\rightarrow$ Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Step 1B: The ONLY CLI Command in this Lab! (DHCP Relay)

Click the CLI Tab on Router0. Type ip helper-address 192.168.200.100 on GigabitEthernet0/0/0 and 0/0/1 so PCs in subnets 50 and 100 can reach the DHCP server (192.168.200.100)!

Router0 CLI Tab - DHCP Relay Command
Router> enable Router# config t Router(config)# interface Gig0/0/0 Router(config-if)# ip helper-address 192.168.200.100 Router(config-if)# exit Router(config)# interface Gig0/0/1 Router(config-if)# ip helper-address 192.168.200.100 Router(config-if)# end
Configured Router0 interface IPs (50.1, 100.1, 200.1) & turned Port Status ON in the Config GUI tab.
Entered CLI tab and ran ip helper-address 192.168.200.100 on Gig0/0/0 and Gig0/0/1.
Phase 2 (Server GUI)

DHCP Server GUI Setup (Server1)

Configure Server1 DHCP using the Packet Tracer visual GUI tabs.

Step 2A: Set Server Static IP in Desktop Tab

Select Static $\rightarrow$ IP Address: 192.168.200.100 | Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 | Gateway: 192.168.200.1 | DNS Server: 192.168.200.110

Step 2B: Configure DHCP Pools in Services Tab

Click Services Tab $\rightarrow$ Click DHCP on the left $\rightarrow$ Toggle Service: ON.
Fill in each pool, then click Add or Save:

Server1 DHCP Services GUI Table (As shown in screenshot)
Pool Name Default Gateway DNS Server Start IP Address Subnet Mask WLC Address

Set Server1 Static IP (192.168.200.100) in Desktop > IP Configuration GUI.
Toggled DHCP Service to ON and created/saved all 3 pools with WLC Address 192.168.200.130.
Phase 3 (DNS & Web GUI)

DNS Records & Web Server GUI

Configure Server0 DNS and Server2 Web Server via visual GUI tabs.

Step 3A: Static IP Setup in GUI

Server0 DNS: Desktop Tab $\rightarrow$ Static IP 192.168.200.110, Mask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.200.1
Server2 Web: Desktop Tab $\rightarrow$ Static IP 192.168.200.120, Mask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.200.1

Server0 DNS > Services Tab > DNS GUI Menu
  1. Click Services Tab $\rightarrow$ Click DNS on the left $\rightarrow$ Toggle Service: ON.
  2. Create A Record: Name: kableacademy.com $\rightarrow$ Type: A Record $\rightarrow$ Address: 192.168.200.120 $\rightarrow$ Click Add.
  3. Create CNAME Record: Name: www.kableacademy.com $\rightarrow$ Type: CNAME $\rightarrow$ Host Name: kableacademy.com $\rightarrow$ Click Add.
Type Name Address / Hostname Target
A Record kableacademy.com 192.168.200.120
CNAME www.kableacademy.com kableacademy.com
Configured Static IPs for Server0 DNS (110) & Server2 Web (120).
Added A Record (kableacademy.com) and CNAME (www.kableacademy.com) in DNS GUI.
Phase 4 (WLC GUI)

Wireless LAN Controller GUI Setup

  • DNS Server: 192.168.200.110
WLC Controller0 > Config Tab > Wireless LANs GUI Menu

Click Wireless LANs on the left menu. Create 2 WLANs:

WLAN Name SSID Authentication PSK Pass Phrase
Administration Dept kable-staff WPA2-PSK staff123
Student Learning kable-students WPA2-PSK student123
Set WLC Management IP (192.168.200.130) in Config > Management GUI tab.
Configured WLAN SSIDs kable-staff (pass: staff123) and kable-students (pass: student123).
