Task 1: Configure Cisco Router Global Configuration Settings

Step 1. Physically connect devices.

Connect the console or rollover cable to the console port on the R1-ISP and R2-Central . With 2 different computers, one per network. Ensure that power has been applied to the host computer, switch and router.

Step 2. Connect host computer to router through PT Terminal.

Start the PT Terminal program by clicking on Host1 | Desktop Tab | Terminal Leave all values at default when you click terminal.

Step 3. Configure global configuration hostname setting.

What two commands may be used to leave the privileged exec mode? What shortcut command can be used to enter the privileged exec mode? Examine the different configuration modes that can be entered with the command configure? Write down the list of configuration modes and description. From the privileged exec mode, enter global configuration mode:
router# configure terminal router(config)#

What three commands may be used to leave the global configuration mode and return to the privileged exec mode? What shortcut command can be used to enter the global configuration mode? Set the device hostname to R1-ISP :
router(config)# hostname R1-ISP R1-ISP(config)#

Do the same with router 2

Step 4. Configure a MOTD banner.

The MOTD banner is displayed on all connections before the login prompt. Use the terminating character on a blank line to end the MOTD entry:
R1-ISP (config)# banner motd % Enter TEXT message. End with the character '%' *** Unauthorized access is prohibited and will be prosecuted. *** % R1-ISP (config)#

Task 2: Configure Cisco router password access

Access passwords are set for the privileged exec mode and user entry point such as console, aux, and virtual lines. The privileged exec mode password is the most critical password, since it controls access to the configuration mode. Step 1: Configure the enable and privileged exec password.

Set the console access password to cisco. The console password controls console access to the router.
R1-ISP (config)# line console 0 R1-ISP (config-line)# password cisco R1-ISP (config-line)# login Do the same for 2 routers

Step 3: Configure the virtual line password.

Set the virtual line access password to cisco. The virtual line password controls Telnet access to the router. In early Cisco IOS versions, only five virtual lines could be set, 0 through 4. In newer Cisco IOS versions, the number has been expanded. Unless a telnet password is set, access on that virtual line is blocked.
R1-ISP (config-line)# line vty 0 4 R1-ISP (config-line)# password cisco R1-ISP (config-line)# login
R1-ISP (config-line)# exit

Do the same for 2 routers

Task 3: Configure Cisco Router Interfaces

Step 1: Configure the routers fa0/0 interface with the last usable address in the second subnet.
R1-ISP R1-ISP cable R1-ISP R1-ISP R1-ISP R1-ISP (config)# interface fa0/0 (config-if)# description Connection to Host1 with crossover (config-if)# ip address address mask (config-if)# no shutdown (config-if)# end #

11.6.1: Skills Integration Challenge-Configuring and Testing the Lab Network

Do the same for 2 routers and for each interfaces.

Step 3: Configure the host computer. Configure the host computer for LAN connectivity. Recall that the LAN configuration window is accessed by clicking the PC going to the Desktop tab and then clicking IP configurations. Fill in the following fields:

Step 4: Verify network connectivity.

Use the ping command to verify network connectivity with the router. If ping replies are not successful troubleshoot the connection. You can use ping and tracert command from a pc or a router.

Task 4: Save the Router Configuration File

Cisco IOS refers to RAM configuration storage as running-configuration, and NVRAM configuration storage as startup-configuration. For configurations to survive rebooting or power restarts, the RAM configuration must be copied into non-volatile RAM (NVRAM). This does not occur automatically, NVRAM must be manually updated after any changes are made.

Step 1: Compare router RAM and NVRAM configurations.

Use the Cisco IOS show command to view RAM and NVRAM configurations. Write down one possible shortcut command that will display the contents of NVRAM. Display the contents of NVRAM. If the output of NVRAM is missing, it is because there is no saved configuration.:
R1-ISP # show startup-config R1-ISP #show running-config

Step 2: Save RAM configuration to NVRAM.

For a configuration to be used the next time the router is powered on or reloaded, it must be manually saved in NVRAM. Save the RAM configuration to NVRAM:
R1-ISP # copy running-config startup-config Destination filename [startup-config]? Building configuration... [OK] R1-ISP #
