Part 1: Display Router Information

Step 1: Display interface information on R1.
Note: Click a device and then click the CLI tab to access the command line directly. The console
password is cisco. The privileged EXEC password is class.
Questions:
a. Which command displays the statistics for all interfaces configured on a router? Type your
answers here. show interfaces
b. Which command displays the information about the Serial 0/0/0 interface only? Type your
answer here. show interfaces serial 0/0/0
c. Enter the command to display the statistics for the Serial 0/0/0 interface on R1 and answer the
following questions:
1) What is the IP address configured on R1? Type your answers here. 209.165.200.225/30
2) What is the bandwidth on the Serial 0/0/0 interface? Type your answers here. 1544 kbits
d. Enter the command to display the statistics for the GigabitEthernet0/0 interface and answer the
following questions:
1) What is the IP address on R1? Type your answers here. there is no IP address
2) What is the MAC address of the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface? Type your answers.
000d.bd6c.7d01
3) What is the bandwidth (BW) of the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface? Type your answers here.
1000000 kbits

Step 2: Display a summary list of the interfaces on R1.

Questions:
a. Which command displays a brief summary of the current interfaces, interface status, and the
IP addresses assigned to them? Type your answers here. show IP interface brief
b. Enter the command on each router and answer the following questions:
1) How many serial interfaces are there on R1 and R2? Type your answers here. 2
2) How many Ethernet interfaces are there on R1 and R2? Type your answers here. R1-6, R2-2
3) Are all the Ethernet interfaces on R1 the same? If no, explain the difference(s). Type your
answers here. No, they aren’t. There are two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and four Fast
Ethernet interfaces. Gigabit Ethernet interfaces support speeds of up to 1,000,000,000 bits
per second and Fast Ethernet interfaces support speeds of up to 1,000,000 bits per second
Step 3: Display the routing table on R1.
Questions:
a. What command displays the contents of the routing table? Type your answers here. show IP
route
b. Enter the command on R1 and answer the following questions:
1) How many connected routes are there (uses the C code)? Type your answers here. 1
2) Which route is listed? Type your answers here. 209.165.200.224/30
3) How does a router handle a packet destined for a network that is not listed in the routing
table? Type your answer here. A router will only send packets to a network listed in the
routing table. If a network is not listed, the packet will be dropped
Part 2: Configure Router Interfaces
Step 1: Configure the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface on R1.
a. Enter the following commands to address and activate the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface on R1:
Open configuration window
R1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0
R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# no shutdown
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet0/0, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/0, changed state to
up
b. It is good practice to configure a description for each interface to help document the network.
Configure an interface description that indicates the device to which it is connected.
R1(config-if)# description LAN connection to S1
c. R1 should now be able to ping PC1.
R1(config-if)# end
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
R1# ping 192.168.10.10
Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.10.10, timeout is 2
seconds: .!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0/2/8 ms
Step 2: Configure the remaining Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces on R1 and R2.
a. Use the information in the Addressing Table to finish the interface configurations for R1 and
R2. For each interface, do the following:
1) Enter the IP address and activate the interface.
2) Configure an appropriate description.
b. Verify interface configurations.
Step 3: Back up the configurations to NVRAM.
Question: Save the configuration files on both routers to NVRAM. What command did you use?
Type your answers here. copy running-config startup-config
Part 3: Verify the Configuration
Step 1: Use verification commands to check your interface configurations.
a. Use the show ip interface brief command on both R1 and R2 to quickly verify that the
interfaces are configured with the correct IP address and are active.
Questions: How many interfaces on R1 and R2 are configured with IP addresses and in the “up”
and “up” state? Type your answers here. R1-3, R2-3
What part of the interface configuration is NOT displayed in the command output? Type your
answers here. The subnet mask
What commands can you use to verify this part of the configuration? Type your answers here.
show run, show interfaces, show ip protocols
b. Use the show ip route command on both R1 and R2 to view the current routing tables and
answer the following questions:
Questions:
1) How many connected routes (uses the C code) do you see on each router? Type your answers
here. R1-3, R2-3
2) How many OSPF routes (uses the O code) do you see on each router? Type your answers
here. R1-2, R2-2
3) If the router knows all the routes in the network, then the number of connected routes and
dynamically learned routes (OSPF) should equal the total number of LANs and WANs. How
many LANs and WANs are in the topology? Type your answers here. 5
4) Does this number match the number of C and O routes shown in the routing table? Type your
answers here. yes
Note: If your answer is “no”, then you are missing a required configuration. Review the steps in
Part 2.
Step 2: Test end-to-end connectivity across the network.
You should now be able to ping from any PC to any other PC on the network. In addition, you
should be able to ping the active interfaces on the routers. For example, the following tests
should be successful:
• From the command line on PC1, ping PC4.
• From the command line on R2, ping PC2.
Note: For simplicity in this activity, the switches are not configured. You will not be able to ping
them.
