Core and 2 distribution blocks with L3 and L2 access switches

I just arranged this lab I used when I was studying for CCNP, I hope someone will find it useful.

We have a 2 distribution blocks network linked with the core layer; all elements are dual linked to the upstream layer for redundancy.

Block 1 has L3 access switches, running EIGRP as stub routers. Distribution routers send default route only to the access switches, and perform route aggregation toward core routers.

Block 2 has L2 access switches, with 2 local Vlans and 1 spanning Vlan. Local Vlans upstream traffic is load-balanced toward the distribution switches using GLBP, having STP blocking distrib-to-distrib link. The spanning vlan’s traffic is not load-balanced, but HSRP and STP grant redundancy in case of link failure.

Multicasting is implemented with anycast RP.

The included startup.vpc file contains the configuration for VPCS.
Remember to add Vlan to the switches!!

vlan database

vlan XX

Vlans to add:
A1 – Vlan 10
A2 – Vlan 20
D3, D4 – Vlan 3, 4 and 100
A3 – Vlan 3 and 100
A4 – Vlan 4 and 100

I strongly recommend you to read Cisco Solution Reference Design Guide at www.cisco.com/go/srnd.
