Objectives

Troubleshoot the logging issues for the devices in the topology and make the necessary corrections.

Background / Scenario

In this topology, routers R1, R2, and switch D1 are configured with logging and SNMP. You will be loading configurations with intentional errors onto the network. Your tasks are to FIND the error(s), document your findings and the command(s) or method(s) used to fix them, FIX the issue(s) presented here, and then test the network to ensure both of the following conditions are met:

1)the complaint received in the ticket is resolved

2)full functionality is restored

Note: The routers used with CCNP hands-on labs are Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 (universalk9 image). The switches used in the labs are Cisco Catalyst 3650 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 (universalk9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of the lab for the correct interface identifiers.

Note: Make sure that the devices have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure, contact your instructor.

Answers Note: Refer to the Answers Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Required Resources

  • 2 Routers (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
  • 1 Switch (Cisco 3560 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
  • 1 PC (Choice of operating system with terminal emulation and syslog programs installed)
  • Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
  • Ethernet cables as shown in the topology

Part 1:Trouble Ticket 23.1.3.1

Scenario:

SNMP messages should be coming from router R1 and switch D1. To avoid service interruption, loopback interfaces have been configured on those devices to test SNMP operation. Disabling and enabling the loopback interface should generate an SNMP trap that is displayed on the Syslog server log screen. Correct any necessary configuration issues and verify traps are being logged from both devices.

Use the commands listed below to load the configuration files for this trouble ticket:

Answers Note: Commands for uploading the configuration are provided at the end of this document.

Device

Command

R1

copy flash:/enarsi/23.1.3.1-r1-config.txt run

R2

copy flash:/enarsi/23.1.3.1-r2-config.txt run

D1

copy flash:/enarsi/23.1.3.1-d1-config.txt run

  • PC1 should be manually configured and able to ping its default gateway, as shown in the Addressing Table.
  • PC1 needs to have syslog software running. In this example, the Kiwi Syslog Server software is used and the following settings is used for all the trouble tickets in this lab.

Kiwi Syslog Server Settings:

File->Setup->Inputs – Add addresses 10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.2, and 10.10.12.2

File->Setup->Inputs->UDP – Checkbox for Listen for UDP messages checked

File->Setup->Inputs->SNMP – Checkbox for Listen for SNMP Traps checked

File->Setup->Inputs->SNMP – Add/Remove SNMP v3 Credentials dialog

User Name – USER1

Authentication Password – cisco12345

Algorithm – SHA

Private Password – cisco54321

Algorithm – AES

Security Level Authentication & Privacy dropdown selected

Click Add User

Close the Setup dialog box.

  • Passwords on all devices are cisco12345. If a username is required, use admin.
  • After you have fixed the ticket, change the MOTD on EACH DEVICE using the following command:

banner motd # This is $(hostname) FIXED from ticket <ticket number> #

  • Then save the configuration by issuing the wri command (on each device).
  • Inform your instructor that you are ready for the next ticket.
  • After the instructor approves your solution for this ticket, issue the reset.now privileged EXEC command on each device. This script will clear your configurations and reload the devices.
  • Clear the log messages on PC1 to prepare for the next ticket.

Answers Notes:

This trouble ticket contains one intentional error:

D1 has been configured with an incorrect host IP address

The commands used to fix this error should be:

D1(config)# no snmp-server host 10.10.10.11 version 2c ciscolab

D1(config)# snmp-server host 10.10.10.10 version 2c ciscolab

D1(config)# end

Part 2:Trouble Ticket 23.1.3.2

Scenario:

A network technician notices that logging messages from the routers are not consistent. All messages should record the time the event occurs. Both routers should record when changes are made to the devices. Use the loopback interfaces on the routers to determine if messages are being recorded correctly.

Use the commands listed below to load the configuration files for this trouble ticket:

Answers Note: Commands for creating these files are at the end of this document.

Device

Command

R1

copy flash:/enarsi/23.1.3.2-r1-config.txt run

R2

copy flash:/enarsi/23.1.3.2-r2-config.txt run

D1

copy flash:/enarsi/23.1.3.2-d1-config.txt run

  • PC1 should be manually configured and able to ping its default gateway, as shown in the Addressing Table.
  • PC1 needs to have the Kiwi Syslog Server software running with the same setting used in Trouble Ticket 23.1.3.1.
  • Passwords on all devices are cisco12345. If a username is required, use admin.
  • After you have fixed the ticket, change the MOTD on EACH DEVICE using the following command:

banner motd # This is $(hostname) FIXED from ticket <ticket number> #

  • Then save the configuration by issuing the wri command (on each device).
  • Inform your instructor that you are ready for the next ticket.
  • After the instructor approves your solution for this ticket, issue the reset.now privileged EXEC command. This script will clear your configurations and reload the devices.

Answers Notes:

This trouble ticket contains two intentional error. R1 is not configured to record timestamps. R2 is configured for an incorrect trap level.

The commands used to fix these errors should be:

R1(config)# service timestamps debug datetime msec

R1(config)# service timestamps log datetime msec

R1(config)# end

R2(config)# logging trap debug

R2(config)# end

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.

Uploading Configuration Files

Use the commands below to create the configuration files on the lab devices for each trouble ticket in this lab. The TCL script commands help create and copy the configurations. However, the configuration commands could also be copied and pasted directly into global config mode on each device. Simply remove the TCL script commands, enter the enable and configure t commands on the device, and copy and paste the configuration commands.

Important: The device requires a folder in flash named enarsi. Use the dir command to verify. If the folder is missing, then create it using the mkdir flash:/enarsi privileged EXEC command. For all switches, make sure the vlan.dat file is set to the default. Use the delete vlan.dat privileged EXEC command, if necessary.

Reset scripts

These TCL scripts will completely clear and reload the device in preparation for the next ticket. Copy and paste the appropriate script to the appropriate device.

Router Reset Script

tclsh

puts [ open “flash:/enarsi/reset.tcl” w+ ] {

typeahead “\n”

copy running-config startup-config

typeahead “\n”

puts “Reloading the router”

typeahead “\n”

reload

}
