Cisco Network Proposal Part 1: Springfield Device and STP
Configurations
Springfield Site Device and STP Configurations
The Springfield site requirements are innovating device
hostnames by implementing, banners and secure device
passwords. These are all basic initial configurations that should
be made prior to connecting the switch. Spanning-Tree Protocol
prevents loops from forming when switches or bridges are
interconnected. The advantages are that you can add another
link between the switches or bridges that provides fault
tolerance. The link can also provide port bundling that will
increase the speed by twice its capacity. Whenever you are
configuring spanning tree after the adding the additional link, it
stops switching loop by making sure there is only one active
path between the links. Switching loop will keep the circling
around the network which can take down. Since the
administrators are having some problems placing switch 1 as the
root, there will be a reconfiguration to the spanning tree

configurations. The mode best suited for the environment will
be chosen. Also, there will a test of multiple security measures
that can be implemented to protect the devices. Comment by
Jeanette: Why? Don’t just make statements, explain why they
are the basic initial configurations that should be made prior to
connecting the switch? These have nothing to do with the
switches operation so why do you think this?Comment by
Jeanette: What do you mean by “the best mode suited for the
environment will be chosen?
Device Configurations
To correctly word Message of the Day and login banners, it is
best to consult with the legal department first before
proceeding. Once the verbiage is approved and carefully
considered, it can be implemented into these banners. Switch 2
is configured as the root. In order to fix the problem the
administrators are having, there will need to be configuration of
switch 1 by changing the priority number to force it to become
the root switch. Comment by Jeanette: Why does someone need
the MOTD? Why problem are the administrators having?
Currently PVST is enabled on switches 1, 3 and 4 while Switch
2 has RSTP enabled. Spanning tree protocol will be changed on
switches 1, 3 and 4 from the default mode of PVST to RSTP in
order to take advantage of the benefits of RSTP. RSTP improves
processing times by using port roles, using a method of sending
messages between bridges on designated ports, calculating
alternate paths, and using faster timers. This feature ensures
that a bridging loop cannot form, because the switch's shutting
down the port removes the possibility for a loop forming. Root
guard is a feature that will be enabled to prevent unauthorized
switches from becoming the root bridge. Uplink Fast will be
disabled because RSTP has a similar function built into it that
will work the same.Comment by Jeanette: Way too many
acronyms! Don’t assume that your reader will know what these
acronyms meanComment by Jeanette: Don’t spend a lot of time
providing definitions about these protocols, this is probably

why your Turnitin grade is so high. Why are you
recommending that the admins implement change from PVST to
RSTP? Which of the identified problems will this fix.
Message of the Day banner:Comment by Jeanette: You have not
provided any explanation of Banner MOTD, what value it will
provide the Admins.

law enforcement authorities. There is no right to privacy on this

delimiters to indicate the beginning and end of a Banner.
Where are your delimiters? This is something you would to
explain to your readers.
Springfield – Switch1 (config)#exit

Login banner:Comment by Jeanette: What’s the difference
between a Banner MOTD and a Login Banner and why would
the Admins want to use 1 or both at the same time?

Implementing device passwords on both console port and

know that your are configuring Telnet. You don’t provide any
explanations for these configurations. Why do the admins want
to configure Telnet?

Professionalism will be key to your success and advancement in
your academic and professional career. Use the title page to
identify relevant information such as your name, the course,
professor, and submission/completion date.Document
Index/Contents
Organization will allow your document to be divided into key
areas of consideration and allows an overall structure to be
placed over the submission.Sample text:
I. Site “XXXXXXXX” Challenges and Implementation
II. Site “XXXXXXXX” Challenges and Implementation
III. Site “XXXXXXXX” Challenges and Implementation
IV. Bibliography
Site “XXXXXXXXXX” Challenge and Implementation

(Provide a section for each site, as suggested in your table of
contents.)Site Details and Challenges (Summary)
Here, you will simply summarize the site requirements and/or
challenges you are attempting to overcome. You will not need
to implement solutions or discuss your approach at this point.
This information is provided to you and can simply be
organized and restated as you understand it. Think of this area
as what needs to be corrected. Suggested length would be one or
two paragraphs.
Sample text:
As described in the scenario, the xUMUC site was developed
without any VLAN structure, and administrators have found the
need to isolate broadcast traffic from a layer-2 perspective.Site
Solution
(s) and Technologies
With the challenges stated, you will be able to clearly define
your approach to solving those challenges and can state the
technologies you will be implementing. Be sure to use this area
to justify your approach and selection of technologies as well.
The specific length and details of this area will vary based on
the specifics and depth of the challenge you are facing. Your
justification would be your selection of a specific technology or
approach over another and why you chose the approach you are
taking. Show off your knowledge in the foundational skills
here!
Sample text:

In order to relieve the administrative tasks surrounding the
implementation of manual IP addressing per device, we will
configure and implement a DHCP (dynamic host configuration
protocol) server, per site requirements. The DHCP allows for
devices to identify, request and implement IP configurations as
well as other settings….
Since this area may call for facts and details around
technologies and approaches, you will most likely find yourself
using in-text citations, which would appear as follows:
Open Shortest Path First is an open standard routing protocol
that’s been implemented by a wide variety of network vendors,
including Cisco [1].Sample Configuration
Understanding the technologies will satisfy a portion of the
documents' requirements. You will also need to display how the
solutions you are suggesting would be implemented. This will
include the specific commands used to configure the devices.
Instructions will state when sample configurations are required,
and any sample configurations should be limited to the devices
provided, per the site topology. Device syntax to be used can be
found in your training suite, TestOut’s LabSim. Show off your
technical competency here!
