Lab topology for your ccna, ccnp, ccie certification or just playing around

While surf on internet I found a lot of topology ready to test and explore, more come from hacki forum. I just remember Solarflux collecting various pf.conf sample for learning purpose. Same purpose I try to do with this post before take my Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 640 802. Like 101 resources for self learning cisco, I’ll update this list regularly once I found new topology.

List of books that might useful in understanding the topology :

15. MPLS VPNs with duplicate customer addressing

Here’s a topology file I’ve created with a 4-node MPLS network. Two MPLS VPNs are configured with identical LAN and WAN addressing. The 4 PE routers exchange routes using MP-BGP and use OSPF for the full mesh of MPLS connections. Each CE router has two connections to the network. I’ve included a PDF file that lays out the topology, IGP and VPN routing. ( Justin White CCIE #14745)

16. IPExpert Section12 MultiProtA-DiagramA

What you’ll need:

- 1 x PC that can run Dynamips and VMWare. Min 1GB RAM, Pentium Celeron
- 1 x Pix 515 UR
- 1 x 3550 Switch
- 2 x ASA 5510
- 1 x VPN Concentrator 3005
- 1 x IPS 4215 (or FrankenIDS)

17. DMVPN config with EIGRP on 12.2T15

It consists of a Hub and a Spoke router emulated on the Dynamips emulator

18. MPLS VPNs v1.5 with MPLS-TE instead of LDP

Here’s the version 1.5 of my MPLS lab updated to use MPLS-TE instead of LDP for distribution of labels. There aren’t any other changes over version 1, so the diagrams should be identical. Remember that this version consists of a 4-node MPLS network. Two MPLS VPNs are configured with identical LAN and WAN addressing. The 4 PE routers exchange routes using MP-BGP and use OSPF for the full mesh of MPLS connections. Each CE router has two connections to the network ( Justin White CCIE #14745 )

File : mplsv15.zip

19. MPLS VPNs v2.5 with MPLS-TE instead of LDP

Here’s the version 2.5 of my MPLS lab updated to use MPLS-TE instead of LDP for distribution of labels. There aren’t any other changes over version 2, so the diagrams should be identical. Remember that this version consists of a 6-node MPLS network with a pair of P-core routers that also act as route-reflectors for the PE routers. ( Justin White CCIE #14745 )

22. ccie practice lab dynamips

.net topology that is smaller but very useful for IP Services practice like Proxy Arp, NAT, HSRP and all the things you want to test that do not require a full lab of 13 routers.

the lab was prepared from the IEWBv4 IPServices book under Advanced Technologies also to people that do not have this Work Book it can be very handy as it is not very hard to figure the structure of the lab.

26. Sample topology for Inter-AS MPLS VPNs

After reading a section from “MPLS and VPN Architectures, Vol 2”, I looked closer at a feature that allows VPNv4 routes to be exchanged between two MPLS networks without requiring LDP or MPLS-TE, just BGP. Here’s the Cisco document:

MPLS VPNâ€”Interautonomous System Support

Only the sample in the Cisco docs doesn’t document every step involved, so I’ve used their topology and filled in my own blanks. The attached ZIP file has a PDF showing the topology. Table 3 shows the specific platforms and minimum versions of IOS that support this feature.

Personally, this might be one of the coolest features that might appear on the CCIE SP lab. This was really fun to put together and I hope it helps someone one else too.

27. IPV6 RIPng

28. BGP/Default Route Lab (Brian)

Here’s a topology that mimics a network I just completed building. It consists of one location (AS65000) multihomed to 2 ISP’s (AS300,400), with a remote site (R2) connected to ISP B (AS400). Both sites, (R1,R2) are connected with a T1.

What I’m doing with this lab is sending a default route to R2 via BGP, full tables to R65000, and redistributing the default path to OSPF.

Since I’m using IOS firewall images, you could also have IPSec/GRE tunnels setup and run OSPF between R1 and R2.

29. IPv6 EIGRP Topology

Here is an IPv6 EIGRP Topology over Frame-Relay with an OSPFv3 route redistributed in to EIGRP.

Frame-Relay Cloud
R1 – IP Address ABCD::AC0C:7B01/96 (s1/0)
R2 – IP Address ABCD::AC0C:7B02/96 (s1/0)
R3 – IP Address ABCD::AC0C:7B03/96 (s1/0)

Fast Ethernet
R2 – IP Address BCDE::AC0C:1702/96 (fa1/0)
R3 – IP Address BCDE::AC0C:1703/96 (fa1/0)
R4 – IP Address BCDE::AC0C:1704/96 (fa1/0)

Point-to-Point Serial
R3 – IP Address CDEF::A02:203/96 (s1/1)
R4 – IP Address CDEF::A02:204/96 (s1/1)

Loopbacks
R1 – IP Address 1111:1111::/16 (Lo0)
R2 – IP Address 2222:2222::/16 (Lo0)
R3 – IP Address 3333:3333::/16 (Lo0)
R4 – IP Address 4444:4444::/16 (Lo0)
R4 – IP Address 4545:4545::/16 (Lo1)

To use a Full Mesh Frame-Relay you have to map the link-local and interface addresses to the dlci. Only the link-local will have to be broadcast. Link-local addresses may vary from mine.
The command is frame-relay map ipv6 <IP Address> <DLCI>

Do a show ipv6 interface f0/0 to get the Link-Local address for each router connected to the frame-relay cloud.

To enable IPv6 routing type ipv6 unicast-routing followed by ipv6 cef globally

Then type ipv6 router eigrp <process> followed by no shutdown.

TIP
The EIGRP process by default, is in a shutdown status. Just like an interface. You will have to type no shutdown in the EIGRP process. This is a common error for those new to IPv6 EIGRP.

EIGRP also has to be enabled at the interface level by typing ipv6 enable followed by ipv6 eigrp <process>

Put R4’s Loopback 1 into OSPFv3 area 0, then redistribute it into IPv6 EIGRP.

Ping all Address.

If you want to duplicate this topology you need at least IOS Version 12.4(6)T. Thats when Cisco introduced EIGRP for IPv6.

30. IPv6 running OSPFv3 & RIPng

Here is an IPv6 Routing Lab – Using 4-3640 Routers

It is running OSPFv3 and RIPng. Redistribution will be set up on R3. This will be a pure IPv6 environment. (as pure as I can get it)

I recommend IOS 12.3 or better

R1 & R2 are connected via Serial links using these ipv6 addresses
R1 — 0:1111:2222:3333::1/48 (s0/0)
R2 — 0:1111:2222:3333::2/48 (s0/0)

R2 & R3 are connected via Serial links using these ipv6 addresses
R2 — 0:2323:2222:3333::2/48 (s0/1)
R3 — 0:2323:2222:3333::3/48 (s0/0)

R3 & R4 are connected via Ethernet links using these ipv6 addresses
R3 — 0:3434:3333:4444::4/48 (e1/0)
R4 — 0:3434:3333:4444::3/48 (e1/0)

The Loopbacks for each router
R1 — 0:1111:1111:1111::1/48
R2 — 0:2222:2222:2222::2/48
R3 — 0:3333:3333:3333::3/48
R4 — 0:4444:4444:4444::4/48

The first thing you should do is enable ipv6 unicast-routing and ipv6 cef globally.

Then enter the IPv6 addresses.
Note: some IOS require you to type ipv6 enable at the interface level.

Router 1
Enable a router-id of 1.1.1.1 for the OSPFv3 process
The Loopback and the Serial interface should be in area 0
Turn off ipv4 routing

Router 2
Enable a router-id of 2.2.2.2 for the OSPFv3 process
The Loopback and both Serial interfaces should be in OSPFv3 area 0
Turn off ipv4 routing

Router 3
Enable a router-id of 3.3.3.3 for the OSPFv3 process
The Loopback interface should be in OSPFv3 area 3
The Serial interface should be in OSPFv3 area 0
The Ethernet interface should be in RIPng process
Turn off ipv4 routing

Router 4
The Loopback and Ethernet interface should be in the RIPng process
Turn off ipv4 routing

Redistribution on Router 3
1.) Redistribute RIPng routes into OSPFv3 with a metric of 120 and include connected routes.
2.) Redistribute OSPFv3 routes into RIPng with a metric of 3 and include connected routes.

Make sure you can ping all routes.

Some Basic IPv6 commands
ping 0:6754:4567:8899:33:84:4
show ipv6 route
show ipv6 rip
show ipv6 ospf
show ipv6 interface brief
