switch1>enable

switch1#config t

switch1#ip routing

switch1#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.12.112.1

switch1(config)# interface vlan 2

switch1(config-if)# ip address dhcp

switch1(config-if)# no shutdown

switch1(config-if)# end

switch1#write memory

Physical Set Up

Plug an ethernet cable of cat5 or 6 into any port 7 through 12. If unsure of the ports contained in vlan 2. Run show vlan brief if unsure.

Plug the other end into the wall port that contains the default-gateway

Confirming

switch1# show running-config | include default-gateway

switch1# show ip route

switch1# show ip interface brief

switch1# show interfaces vlan 2

Testing

switch1# ping 10.12.112.1

switch1# ping 8.8.8.8

Test 1: Pinging 8.8.8.8 - Internet

Test 2: Pinging 10.8.112.1 - Default Gateway
