LAB 2 ADVANCED ROUTER CONFIGURATION

1. In this lab you will practice using some advanced configuration and show
commands on the Cisco router. Please remember your lab 1 commands needed to
switch between Router modes (i.e. exit, end, disable)

2. On Router1, configure a console password of aupece. The console user nust enter
this password before gaining access to the user mode prompt.
Router1(config)#line console 0
Router1(config-line)#login
Router1(config-line)#password aupece

- This command will enable the prompt password. This will give a more
secure interface because there will be multiple security check.

3. Configure a banner that says Welcome to Router1 Authorized Users Only.

Router1(config)# banner motd #Welcome to Router1 Authorized Users Only#

- A banner can be added for easy identification of the interface being

configured.

4. Test the banner and console password by logging out of the router and logging
back in. Get into privileged mode after successfully logging into the console.
Router1#logout
Password: aupece
Router1>enable
Password: cisco
Router1#

- This will check if the password and banner will be displayed before entering
to the prompt.

5. Configure a password of cisco on Router2 that will enable remote users to Telnet
into it:
Router2(config)#line vty 0 4
Router2(config-line)#login
Router2(config-line)#password cisco

- This will enable the Telnet with the corresponding 5 lines to be operated and
a password for confirmation.
6. On Router1, associate a name of Router2 with the remote IP address 160.10.1.2.
This will allow you to ping Router2s name rather than having to remember its IP
address.
Router1(config)#ip host Router2 160.10.1.2

- This will make an easier way of communicating routers because the name is
changed and theres no need type the IP address.

7. Verify that the name is in Router1s host table with the show hosts command.
Router1#show hosts

- This will show the list of hosts installed or configured on the selected router.

8. Ping Router2 and verify that the pings succeed.

Router1#ping Router2

- Checking if the ping can be made with typing the hostname that is
configured earlier.

9. Display the contents of flash memory on Router2. What is the name of the IOS
image in flash and how large is it?
Router2#show flash

- This will show the specifications of the configured router. In this list, it
shows the capacity of the link with its corresponding used space.
-
10. Display the history table on Router1. This shows the last 10 commands that were
entered on the router. You can recall commands by entering ctrl-p or by hitting the
up arrow key.
Router1#show history
Router1#ctrl-p (to see previously entered commands)

- This will automatically input the last typed command.

11. On Router1, do a show interfaces on Serial 1/0/0. Note on the third line of the
output that the bandwidth is assumed to 1544 kb. This is because the router
assumes all serial links are T1s unless you configure otherwise. Configure
Router1s Serial 1/0/0 link to have a bandwidth of 64 kb and then reenter the show
interfaces command.
Router1#show interfaces Serial1/0/0
Router1#cofigure terminal
Router1(config)#interface Serial1/0/0
Router1(config-if)#bandwidth 64
Router1(config-if)#clock rate 64000
Router1(config-if)#ctrl-z
Router1#show interfaces Serial1/0/0

- This will configure the clock rate and the bandwidth of the interface with
serial link connection.

12. On Router1, add a description to interface Serial 1/0/0 that says Serial Link to
Router3. This description will appear whenever you issue a show interfaces
command for Serial 1/0/0.
Router1(config)#interface Serial1/0/0
Router1(config-if)#description Serial Link to Router3
Router1(config-if)#exit
Router1(config)#exit
Router1#show interfaces Serial1/0/0

- This will show a description on the interface and display the desired
description. In this one, the description is the type of link.
