Cisco Configuring The Router

This document provides step-by-step instructions for configuring a Cisco 2600 series router with two FastEthernet ports and two serial ports. It describes connecting the router to a computer terminal emulator and configuring the ports with IP addresses and subnet masks. The configuration process involves entering global commands to configure the router and interface-specific commands to configure each port, and includes enabling routing information protocol (RIP) routing.

This page provides a step by step procedure for configuring the CISCO 2600 series router(2 Fastethernet Ports

and 2 serial ports). The Cisco


2500(series 2501 and 2514) router also can be configured in the same way as discribed here, the only difference being, 2501 series router has only one
Ethernet port and the 2514 series router has 2 Ethernet ports. (Note - On the 2500 series routers, the Ports are called Ethernet Ports and not
FastEthernet Ports, as in 2600 series router.)
In order to configure the router, you will have to connect the router to a computer having a terminal Emulator(such as Hyper Terminal). Please refer to
"Router Basics" for hardware connections. On a Windows-NT Workstation click on
"Start--> Programs --> Accessories --> Hyperterminal-->Hyper Terminal".
To run HyperTerminal, you will have to use the following configuration
Com Port : The COM port you have connected the router to (Example:com1,com2...)
Bits per second : 9600
Data Bits : 8
Parity : None
Stop Bits : 2
Flow Control : None
Router Configuration
Entering Configurations
NOTE : For this example it is assumed that the interfaces of the router have to be configured with the following details :

Name IP Address Subnetmask
Interface 0/0 128.82.8.10 (Class A IP address) 255.255.0.0 (Standard Class B Subnetmask)
Interface 0/1 128.82.10.10 (Class B IP address) 255.255.0.0 (Standard Class B Subnetmask)
The Example attempts to briefly explain the meaning of each individual command. The command prompt changes as the user navigates through the IOS
CLI hierarchy. Also notice that global parameters are configured at the global configuration level (indicated by the "Router(config)#" prompt) whereas
interface specific commands are entered after switching to the particular interface {indicated by the "Router(config-if)#" prompt}. Global parameters and
interface parameters are discussed further in the Displaying Configurations section under Router Management.
1.) Bring the Router to Priveleged EXEC mode
Router>enable
2.)Change to global configuration level giving the user access to change the configuration of the router.
Router# configure terminal
3.) Switch to Configure the fastethernet0/0 interface
Command : interface <interface type>
Router(config)# interface fastethernet0/0
4.)Configure an IP address 128.82.8.10 and Subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
Command : ip address <ip address> <subnet mask>
Router(config-if)# IP address 128.82.8.10 255.255.0.0
5.)Activate fastethernet0/0 interface.
Command : no shutdown
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
6.)Exit back to global configuration level.
Router(config-if)# exit
7.)Configure the fastethernet0/1 interface
Command : interface <interface type>
Router(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
8.)Configure IP address 128.82.10.10 with subnetmask of 255.255.0.0 on fastethernet0/1 interface.
Command : ip address <ip address> <subnet mask>
Router(config-if)# ip address 128.82.10.10 255.255.0.0
9.)Activate fastethernet0/1 interface
Command : no shutdown
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
10.)Exit back to global configuration level
Router(config-if)# exit
11.)Specify routing engine (RIP) - {Other details may be required for some other routing engines}
Command : router <routing engine>
Router(config)# router rip
12.)Add the network 128.82.0.0 to RIP engine
Command : network <network ip address>
Router(config-router)# network 128.82.0.0
13.)Exit back to global configuration level
Router(config-router)# exit
14.)Exit out of global configuration level
Router(config)# ^z
15.)Save Configuration into NVRAM
Router# write
16.)See the current configuration of the Router.
Router# show configuration
17.)Router> - indicates user is back to user EXEC level
Router# disable
18.)Router> - indicates user is back to user EXEC level
