1. Configure the topology

Please refer and use the topology configured in Lab - 14 - Routing Protocols & Configuration.

2. Analyzing the Hosts

To analyze how a host has accomplished the routing, address assignment function (DHCP), name resolution (DNS) and IP-to-MAC resolution (ARPs) the following networking commands can be used on a host. Check detailed IP configuration information for all interfaces, including IP address, mask, default gateway, and DNS IP addresses.

To displays a hosts routing table.

3. Analyzing the Routers

Lists the contents of a routers ARP cache.

The Age value represents the number of minutes since the router last received a packet from the host. If the Age is listed as a dash, the ARP entry actually represents an IP address assigned to the router. www.asghars.blogspot.com 4

Tests the route between a router and another host or router.

Using telnet and suspend commands

You can suspends the telnet session by pressing Ctrl-Shift-6, followed by pressing the letter x.

Check the number of suspended sessions. The asterisk marks the most recently suspended session.

The resume command can be used to resume any suspended connection. Note; the interesting and potentially dangerous nuance here is that if a Telnet session is suspended and you simply press Enter, Cisco IOS Software resumes the connection to the most recently suspended Telnet connection.

Disconnect a particular session.
