OBJECTIVES:
• Part 1: Set Up the Topology and Initialize Devices
o Cable equipment to match the network topology.
o Initialize and restart the router and switch.
• Part 2: Configure Devices and Verify Connectivity
o Assign static IPv4 information to the PC interfaces.
o Configure basic router settings.
o Verify network connectivity.
o Configure the router for SSH.
• Part 3: Display Router Information
o Retrieve hardware and software information from the router.
o Interpret the output from the startup configuration.
o Interpret the output from the routing table.
o Verify the status of the interfaces.
• Part 4: Configure IPv6 and Verify Connectivity
INTRODUCTION
This is a comprehensive lab to review previously covered IOS router commands. In Parts 1 and 2, you will
cable the equipment and complete basic configurations and IPv4 interface settings on the router. In Part 3, you will
use SSH to connect to the router remotely and utilize IOS commands to retrieve information from the device to
answer questions about the router. In Part 4, you will configure IPv6 on the router so that PC-B can acquire an IP
address and then verify connectivity. For review purposes, this lab provides the commands necessary for specific
router configurations
INSTRUCTION:
PART 1:
1. Cable the network as shown in the topology

2. Configure the PC interfaces. Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings on PC-A
and on PC-B.

3. Configure the router.


a. Console into the router and enable privileged EXEC mode.
Router> enable
Router#
b. Enter into global configuration mode.
Router# config terminal
Router(config)#
c. Assign a device name to the router.
Router(config)# hostname R1

2|Page
d. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered
commands as though they were hostnames.
R1(config)# no ip domain-lookup
e. Require that a minimum of 10 characters be used for all passwords.
R1(config)# security passwords min-length 10
Besides setting a minimum length, list other ways to strengthen passwords.

ANSWER: __________________________________________________________

f. Assign cisco12345 as the privileged EXEC encrypted password.


R1(config)# enable secret cisco12345
g. Assign ciscoconpass as the console password, establish a timeout, enable login, and add the
logging synchronous command. The logging synchronous command synchronizes debug and Cisco
IOS software output and prevents these messages from interrupting your keyboard input.
R1(config)# line con 0
R1(config-line)# password ciscoconpass
R1(config-line)# exec-timeout 5 0
R1(config-line)# login
R1(config-line)# logging synchronous
R1(config-line)# exit
R1(config)#
For the exec-timeout command, what do the 5 and 0 represent?

ANSWER: _________________________________________________________

h. Assign ciscovtypass as the vty password, establish a timeout, enable login, and add the logging
synchronous command.
R1(config)# line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)# password ciscovtypass
R1(config-line)# exec-timeout 5 0
R1(config-line)# login
R1(config-line)# logging synchronous
R1(config-line)# exit
R1(config)#
i. Encrypt the clear text passwords.
R1(config)# service password-encryption
j. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is prohibited.
R1(config)# banner motd #Unauthorized access prohibited!#
k. Configure an IP address and interface description. Activate both interfaces on the router.
R1(config)# int g0/0
R1(config-if)# description Connection to PC-B
R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168. 0.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# int g0/1
R1(config-if)# description Connection to S1
R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# exit
R1(config)# exit
R1#
l. Set the clock on the router; for example:
R1# clock set 17:00:00 18 Feb 2013
m. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.
R1# copy running-config startup-config
Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...
[OK]

R1#
What would be the result of reloading the router prior to completing the copy running-config
startupconfig command?

ANSWER: _________________________________________________________________

4. Verify network connectivity.


5. Ping PC-B from a command prompt on PC-A.
Note: It may be necessary to disable the PCs firewall.
Were the pings successful?

ANSWER: _________________________________________________________________
