VTP Configuration Sim
Question
[am4show have=’p2;’]A new switch is being added to our LAN. Complete the following steps:
+ Configuring the building_2 switch with an IP address and default gateway.
+ Use the last available IP address on the management subnet for the switch host address.
+ In addition, the switch needs to be configured to be in the same VTP domain as the building_1 switch and also needs to be configured as a VTP client.
+ Assume that the IP configuration and VTP configuration on building_1 are complete and correct.
The configuration of the router is not accessible for this exercise. You must accomplish the following tasks:
Determine and configure the IP host address of the new switch.
Determine and configure the default gateway of the new switch.
Determine and configure the correct VTP domain name for the new switch.
Configure the new switch as a VTP client.
Note: You might be asked to use first, second… available IP address on the management subnet.[/am4show]
Answer and Explanation
If you are not sure about VTP, please read my VTP tutorial
The question states we can’t access the router so we can only get required information from switch building_1. Click on the PC connected with switch building_1 (through a console line) to access switch building_1’s CLI. On this switch use the show running-config command:
building_1#show running-config
Next use the show vtp status command to learn about the vtp domain on this switch
building_1#show vtp status
(Notice: the IP address, IP default-gateway and VTP domain name might be different!!!)
You should write down these 3 parameters carefully.
Configuring the new switch
+ Determine and configure the IP host address of the new switch
The question requires “for the switch host address, you should use the last available IP address on the management subnet”. The building_1 switch’s IP address, which is 192.168.22.50 255.255.255.224, belongs to the management subnet.
Increment: 32 (because 224 = 1110 0000)
Network address: 192.168.22.32
Broadcast address: 192.168.22.63
->The last available IP address on the management subnet is 192.168.22.62 and it hasn’t been used (notice that the IP address of Fa0/1 interface of the router is also the default gateway address 192.168.22.35).
Also notice that the management IP address of a switch should be configured in Vlan1 interface. After it is configured, we can connect to it via telnet or SSH to manage it.
Switch2#configure terminal
Switch2(config)#interface Vlan1
Switch2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.22.62 255.255.255.224
Switch2(config-if)#no shutdown
+ Determine and configure the default gateway of the new switch
The default gateway of this new switch is same as that of building_1 switch, which is 192.168.22.35
Switch2(config-if)#exit
Switch2(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.22.35
+ Determine and configure the correct VTP domain name for the new switch
The VTP domain name shown on building_1 switch is 9tut so we have to use it in the new switch (notice: the VTP domain name will be different in the exam and it is case sensitive so be careful)
Switch2(config)# vtp domain 9tut
+ Configure the new switch as a VTP client
Switch2(config)#vtp mode client
We should check the new configuration with the “show running-config” & “show vtp status”; also try pinging from the new switch to the the default gateway to make sure it works well.
Finally save the configuration
Switch2(config)#exit
Switch2#copy running-config startup-config
You can download this sim and practice it with Packet tracer here. If you have any problem with this file you can download another version of this sim here.
This question was there. Cheers !
Just wrote my ICND2 today, and i got 902/1000.. This sim was in the exam.. Thanks to the 9tut team..
Can someone please clarify if this earlier post is correct,”Today (8/7/2013) I got the same lab on my ICND2. But IP address was changed. 192.168.53.128/27 subnet was used for management network. And ask to assign the first available IP address to building_2. 192.168.53.129 was the default gatway for building 1 and it’s interface vlan 1 had the 192.168.53.130. So I assign 192.168.53.131 for building_2 interface vlan 1.”
Can someone tell me please how to calculate the first available IP address of the management subnet to configure on the new switch?
according to this post the first available IP to be used is 192.168.53.131, SHOULDN’T it be 192.168.53.130, if the management IP is 192.168.53.128/27, and the default gateway is 192.168.53.129
the calculation would be:
network number: 192.168.53.128
broadcast number: 192.168.53.159
if .128 is reserved for the management ip and .129 for the default gateway, logically it should be .130 used for the first available address, please i am new to this so somebody please clarify.
Thank u
Re: Max20
That”s what I’m seeing as well…right with u!
I think I got it now, what the writer said was: ,”Today (8/7/2013) I got the same lab on my ICND2. But IP address was changed. 192.168.53.128/27 subnet was used for management network. And ask to assign the first available IP address to building_2. 192.168.53.129 was the default gateway for building 1 and it’s interface vlan 1 had the 192.168.53.130. So I assign 192.168.53.131 for building_2 interface vlan 1.”
I think he wanted to say, the IP address of the MGMT subnet (interface VLAN1) was .130 therefore the network address would be .128 and the default gateway .129 and therefore since .129 is reserved for the DG, I skip it, and since .130 is used for the MGMT Vlan 1, skip it, and so .131 would be the first available address for the new switch. I think I understand now,sorry if I confused anyone.
Alright..got my glasses on now–bldg 1’s vlan 1 is .130, so next available option is .131 for bldg 2!
This is an example from past exam, the IP addresses change for each exam so you must be prepared to face any question with different IP addresses. Don’t try to memorize the IP’s try to understand the concept.
As far as the question is concerned, you still use the same DG for the configuration of the new switch. I just used the word ‘skip’ to point out the process in used in getting the first available ip address for the new switch, since the network address is .128, if you were to use the first address after .128 it would be .129 (same as the address for the DG) since it is reserved you don’t use it, then .130 is next (it’s also reserved because it’s the address for VLAN1 in the MGMT network) so the next available address left is .131
Hope this helps!
Had this question on ICND2 exam on saturday.. just different Ip address and DG

****** got the above ip info also on my test
i could do a show vtp status on the sw i just added and it received the vlan information from the other sw. The ip the sw had received the vlans from also matched the ip of the first SW. i had the domain name mercy in and set up the new switch as a client.
on the topic configure verify and troubleshoot a switch with vlans and interswitch communication i got a 73%….im not sure why im not getting full credit. i did a show vlan brief and noticed i got vlan 10 and vlan 20 to cross over to my new switch.
the only issue i noticed with mine was that my vlan 1 was down/down even after doing a no shut…when you do a show ip int brief it listed it in a down down status…..even though i could still ping the router default gateway. i got onto the int vlan1 and did a no shut but when i did a show ip int brief. it still showed it in a down down.
im not sure why i didnt get a 100% in this area. i used the right ip scheme “first availiable” like everyone else here my 129 was the DGW and the 130 was the ip of SW1 so i had to use the next one .131 as the ip for my new switch.
i just dont know why my vlan1 on switch 2 did not come up it was in a down down even though you do show vtp status and the ip it copied the vlans over from was correct.
was there an issue with anyones trunk link for some reason i could ping the DFG from R1 but i couldnt bring vlan1 up even tho it copied the vlans over from sw1. i dont know i got 74% in this area i maybe missed some multiple choice Q
@fail
You must have configured everything correctly. But also bear in mind that the results in each section are not cumulative. It is possible you missed a couple of multiple choice questions.
i probably did i can think of some that i may have missed
can you post question & answer on CCNP R/S

944/1000 this one was on mine today. Thank you 9tut. This helped so much.
download latest dumps from
9 t u t . w e e b l y . c o m
Pass with 944. There are a few questions not on this site. Just know your stuff. Had VTP and Frame Relay SIM.
@Anonymous
hey congratulations can u tell me which exam u did?old one or new one?
thanks
I got this sim on my icnd2 exam today. make sure you know this..
@ NeedHelp use Cisco packet tracer. It’s free. Search for it. Then download packet tracer files from various places including here. Not all sims have them but some do. This one does.
Had this on my exam 23/8. Passed 916. Cheers to all on here Great work.
Studied with cisco press book, nuggets and 9tut.
Had this today 😀
Passed with 874
Passed Today 916 VTP SIM was there
Passed with 888 all because of this question. 🙂
to download ccna labs check

hello, had this sim on Friday, but no Default-Gateway and no info about Vlan1 in show running-config…
see related discussion here, for same issue https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/22722 ,
is there some show commands to show Default Gateway, if not accessible router, not accessible command line from PC
(also Default-Gateway was not found under Vlan1 settings, there I could find only SW1 Vlan IP and subnet)
and no info in start and run in SW1? any ideas?
well I had the same LAB yesterday and it had default-gateway and everything, for default gateway you may check SH IP ROUTE and it will show you everything, I cleared my exam with 944/1000 Alhamdullilah
Passed CCNA today with 916.
This Sim was on.
The default gateway was given in Show Run.
VTP domain name was mercy.
No VTP password set.
Was instructed to use last available address for VLAN 1 IP address. Which ended up actually being the last available address. I know in some versions of this the last host address is used by something else.
Frame Relay Sim was also there.
VLSM drag and drop was there.
OSPF teslet was in there. 4 questions on a given network diagram.
– Know Hello and Dead timers need to be same for neighbours to form for one of the questions.
– Know how DR is elected. 1.Priority,2.Loopback, 3.Highest active interface.
-Know setting priority to Zero stops a router becoming a DR
-Basically read the OSPF section of this site!
Study CCNA Nuggest, Train Signal, 9Tut (every page!) Use Packet tracer with SIMS available from this site. There is a link to a zip file that has a load if them in. Find it. Get it and use Latest version of Packet tracer….
Hope this helps.

Just passed 986, 9tut and heavymod dumps are sufficient to pass with a high score, thnx 9tut.
Just passed 860/ I got this, same last available IP.
Dear 9tut page, Today I entered in 9tut.com and it was correctly the link, now I cant accesss with this error “Error establishing a database connection” I need urgently access to practice all points of 640-802 examen practice labs questions and beacuse I have my exam the next week and I cannot belive that the link is down, please help meeee !!!!!!
Had this question on test last week. Ran into an issue though. When i clicked on the console for switch 2, it came up as router. couldnt make any changes or exit.
Anyone else see this issue?
Passed Today 916 VTP SIM was there
PLEASE I HAVE TO TAKE THE EXAM IN FEW DAYS , WHAT IS THE TRICK TO PASS THIS CCNA
I HAVE TO PASS BEFORE THE END OF THIS MONTH. I NEED UR ADVICE PLSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
This question was on the exam today. I passed w/ 846 and I had six simulation questions.
VTP lab always have all the CCNA exam. Note configure VLANs, trunking, VTP, routing intervlan. Reference in site: http://thietbivienthongbachkhoa.com/Default.asp?mod=NewsCatalog&action=list&newstype=83&temp=Vertuvn_vn&Object=1&ItemID=83&Language=vn
there are many posts about routing CCNA R&S (CCNA5.0) cpnfig OSPF ..
http://thietbivienthongbachkhoa.com/Default.asp?mod=News&action=list&NewsID=330&temp=Vertuvn_vn&Object=1&ItemID=83&Language=vn
T-man – 6 Sims on your test? Isn’t that more that 9tut.net has for ICND2?
Thank you so much for making this available on Packet Tracer!!!! 😀
Fail. Took the supposed ICND2 640-816 today and there was nothing like the material contained on this site. No VTP, No VLSM, No Drags and Drop (except 1, had Split Horizon), no ACL or NAT. It was all about SNMP and Netflow. 2 Different SIMS OSPF and EIGRP (not on this site or dump) A lot IPV6. I nailed ICND1 exam but this wasnt the test I prepared for. Please reply.
I took test did not pass. I was not ready. Test is fast paced so you have to know it and can’t hesitate. My score was not too bad considering I did not finish and left 10 questions. My IP’s were as follows: Gateway was 192.168.53.129 the old switch was 192.168.53.134. The said to assign the new switch the highest IP address. Since the range was from 192.168.53.128 to 192.168.53.159, the VLAN 1 address on the new switch was 192.168.53.158. I could not get my ports to come up no matter what. Trying it again soon.
Is icnd2 640-816 the same questions as icnd 200-101? Please help. We went to book the exam and the only option was 200-101.
Always has a VTP lab in the CCNA exam. Note: basic configuration, administration, VLANs, trunking, VTP, intervlan routing. VTP lab reference here:
http://www.thietbivienthongbachkhoa.com/Default.asp?mod=News&action=list&NewsID=395&temp=Vertuvn_vn&Object=1&ItemID=83&Language=vn
Cycerwiz , did you do a no shutdown on the ports ?
hi guys were the all questions multiple choice, and how many questions were on the ccna exam? thanks
I got this question today…..2nd question….passed with 972 score.
Passed today with 944 !! this VTP one came with different addressing. Thanks heaps everyone
passed today. had this VTP labsim with different addresses
Passed today with 846. This sim was there, and i had a major issue with it. The running-config command on the console wasn’t working, therefore couldn’t go any further. Thankfully, i was still able to clear the test.
Any idea what i could have done differently?
Ali- I took the test today as well and passed. I had this sim as well. I at first was in rush mode,and tried the running config without being enabled and sat there with a stupid look on my face before realizing that I hadnt enabled and that you had to do it from privileged mode. I then took a deep breath haha.
9Tut – This site is a true life saver. I have a background, and have been networking for a while but have never had to do routers because of the world I live in they are managed else where. Without this test things would have been a lot harder. I recommend this site and cbt nuggets, and just spending some time on youtube. Dan has some great courses.
Good Luck every one.
hey gays i have schedule for icnd2 tomorrow any advice or something to take note on.
thanks indvance
passed with 944 today. i thank God.
failed on 3rd attempt, on this SIM (VTP) i got a weird error, something about the “default-gateway command not being avilable at this time”, it took me a while to get it to accept, it asked for the first aval ip, the default gateway was 192.168.111.1 the first switch was .2 so i used .3, not sure how i failed studied for months, pass Heaveymod everytime, studied 9tut, scored %67 on the “Config and verify vlans”. %100 on implemnt IP, 33% on ACL which i new was my weekness.
This was in my exam… thank you very much for you great help… God bless you…
Hi Guys, Gave my ICND2 today and passed with 986/1000. I had VTP and Frame Relay (Note: In frame-relay, show run command was disabled to find out default encapsulation for serial interface. So I had to use Show Interface Serial 0/1 to get encapsulation details.
Will be donating to this site for continues support…
Goodluck
Could anyone explain the complete frame relay question? Thx
I just passed the test. Had this sim and the frame relay.I’m glad I came across this site. I studied most the questions here.Had only 5 days to study but was able to get 930.I also used the icnd2 dump by anonymnus
i just had my exam passed with 868/1000. thanks 9tut. for the sims question.
This is for Bola. the exam is 50questions with 3 sims. but you have to study hard if not the questions will be confusing. good luck!!!!!!!1
Had this sim on today’s exam. Nailed it with 888/1000. Thanks to 9tut, CBT Nuggets, CiscoPress, HeavyMod.
Hmm… Cant get this SIM or others to run on packet tracker 5.0.
Only one I can get to open is the NAT sim. The others give me errors or crash PT upon opening..
Getting PT v5.3 and 4.11 now…hopefully it’ll work.
ok…Got this SIM to open with PT5.3. Others still wont open. Hopefully the older 4.11 will fix that.
Just passed my ICND 2! Got a little over 880 =D
Got the VTP config sim only. The other sim was the frame relay config confirmation.
Other than that there were like 3 simlets ranging from OSPF, proper addressing, etc.
Anyways, the site was very helpful in terms of practice. Congrats to all other last minute CCNAs!
Sims and tutorials here are very helpful to got my CCNA on the very last day.
Cheers to 9tut and the cisco pipz here
Passed on my ICND2 yesterday 🙂
Thank you 9tut!!!!
Passed my ICND 2 on the 28th of Sept, this lab was on it. Excellent website and along with VCE dumps, didnt come see any question that i hadnt seen before. Next step will probably be CCNA Voice and then CCNP Voice. Im glad i passed before the change in exam.
So building_2 is where the “new” switch is placed?
It’s NOT talking about a third switch/building here?
i am an Indian……. if any1 of u gave exam in India …would u plz tell me how much exam cost u in rupees????? because yesterday i register for exam …that time exchange rate was 62.54… but they charge me 66 rs. 66*150=9900…. is it ok??? plz guide…
Anyone still getting this lab in the EXAM ICND 2 ?? Thanks guys i would really appreciate it if you tell me.
Ciscoita.
just scheduled icnd1 for june, i have ben using this site and cbt nuggets, are there any other sites you folks have used that have been beneficial
Taking ICND2 200-101 tomorrow to try and rap up my CCNA! Here we go!
All you have to do is reference Cisco’s own homepage to see what content is still on the exam:
http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/exams/docs/200-101_icnd2.pdf
VTP, ACLs, and NAT have been completely removed.
@tscib87
i passed ICND1 back in July and have the ICND2 set for Monday.
This website was hugely helpful for ICND1, but you do need to revise also. get a book. also, well worth checking examcollection.com…you need to d/l a bit of software to view the huge number of past (and present) exam questions for ICND1, ICNd2 and the full CCNA, but it’s well worth the £20.
hopefully that site and this one will also stand me in good stead for the ICND2 next week!
mike,
examcollection.com should be free. all of the tests are up to date, no spending required.
Latest VCE Software

Here you go:)
dERP,
Exam chert.com says 49.99 for icnd2 test. Do you have the files to share?
are there vtp questions on the new icnd 2?
Very interesting, I didnt know that VTP configuration is not stored in NVRAM! so when you do a ‘show run’ on building 1, you can’t see any VTP configuration, you have to use show vtp status. If you have VTP mode set to transparent (like switch 2 is initially) then that is stored in the running config!
This stuff is GOLD. Thanks. Re-sitting again; expiration of ccna in Feb. Thankyou all contributers and moderators.
New dump questions please, amanimtae@yahoo.com
Can I get the ICND 2 dump questions and a good exam simulator to use it with? knighten1974@yahoo.com
Hi Zain , Is there a possibility that you will share that file for the new exam please
Thank you and much appreciated.
Passed ICND2 today.
No NAT, VTP, IPv6, ACLs multiple choice questions or Labsims at all.
Mostly EIGRP, OSPF, frame relay, STP, VLAN and Port security questions.
Had EIGRP, OSPF and Frame relay Labsims
Good luck.
Bob , Do you have Dump questions For CCNA exam??
The practice sim isn’t working in Packet Tracer. Please addvise
Also, the link to the older version isn’t working either. Please advise as I would like to practice for the exam. Thanks in advance
just follow the link for dumps
wurl. cc/dumps
I have passed the CCNA just two days ago, all the question was from 9tut there is no need to buy dumps or to read any other website. my score was 973 out of 1000.
thanks 9tut
Passed ICND2 today, this sim was not on the exam.
Had EIGRP, OSPF and Frame Relay sims.
Thanks, khaliq & Jay!
all pkt files are not opening, is there specific version of packet tracer or files are not ok ???
@Anonymous: Please at least Packet Tracer v5.3.3 to open them. Or we recommend you to use Packet Tracer v6.1 (newest one).
Im heading for ICND 2 soonest. I have a question. Is there any difference btw configuring vtp through privilege config mode (Switch#vlan database) command and going tru the global config command(Switch(config)#vtp mode ?). Also is there any difference btw “write memory” and copy “running-config startup-config”
Before entering VTP commands, shouldn’t you go into VLAN configuration mode with following command:
Router# vlan database
?
see ref: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/lan-switching/vtp/98154-conf-vlan.html
Can some send me the last dump {email not allowed}
Can someone send me the latest ICND2 dump? Thanks
pzzza1234 at gmail dot com
Is this lab only for ICDN2 or also for 200-120?
I truly appreciate this forum post.Really looking forward to read more. Want more. Kelso
Hi. What version of packet tracer are your labs for?
Lab say to enter show running-config command, but on my PT 6.3 it says it
building_1>show running-config
