Bridging the gap between CCIE RS and SP

Im forever starting the Solution Guide then get nowhere because I want it perfected. I decided to just do a post per Question. The mini lab was built on the IE workbooks topology. I have also spent way too much time making a dynamips version of the mini lab, more on that later. Once all posts are completed I will make a pdf version.

Update: The dynamips version has been posted.

Question 1:

Pretty simple question requesting that the switchports are cofigured with the correct vlans. Looking at the diagram its clear R2 is in vlan2 and R4 in vlan4. The ports on Sw2 are Fa0/2 and Fa0/4. Everyone is expected to get this one right.

Rack1SW2#sh run in fa0/2
!
interface FastEthernet0/2
shutdown

Rack1SW2#sh run in fa0/4
!
interface FastEthernet0/4
shutdown

Enable and set the vlans.

Rack1SW2(config)#int fa0/2
Rack1SW2(config-if)#switchport access vlan 2
Rack1SW2(config-if)#no shut
Rack1SW2(config-if)#int fa0/4
Rack1SW2(config-if)#switchport access vlan 4
Rack1SW2(config-if)#no shut

Verify Config:

Rack1SW2#sh int status | in Fa0/2 |Fa0/4
Fa0/2       connected       2 a-full a-100 10/100BaseTX
Fa0/4       connected       4 a-full a-100 10/100BaseTX

Verify Connectivity:
