Configuring Routers

Oh No! I’ve got to program a router!

What do I have to do
 Log on to the router

Router>
Router>enable
Router#
Router#config t

Config t is the place to be!

 Name the router!
Step One

Router(config)#hostname Lab-A

Lab-A
 Password protect the Privilege
Mode
Step Two
Lab-A(config)#enable secret class

Commands Password
Results in:
enable secret 5 $1$emBK$WxqLahy7YOAf0nifub.hU
 Configure the Interfaces

Step Three

Lab-A(config)#interface serial 0
Lab-A(config-if)#

(Note prompt change)

 Address the Interface(S0)

Lab-A(config-if)#ip address 201.100.11.1 255.255.255.0

Ip address Subnet mask

S0
S0=201.100.11.1
 Clock ticks MUST be set
between routers on the interface
with the serial cable DCE end.

Serial0 is where the

DCE connects in our
lab.
 We use Serial0

• Lab-A(config-if)#clock rate 56000

 Address the next Interface (E0)
Lab-A(config-if)#interface ethernet 0

(This changes to program interface e0)

Lab-A(config-if)#ip address 192.5.5.1 255.255.255.0
E0=192.5.5.1
E0
S0
S0=201.100.11.1
 Address the next Interface (e1)
Lab-A(config-if)#interface ethernet 1

(This changes to program interface e1)

Lab-A(config-if)#ip address 205.7.5.1 255.255.255.0
E0=192.5.5.1 S1=No address
E0
S0 E1
S0=201.100.11.1
E1=205.7.5.1
 Control z

Lab-A#
Lab-A#show running-config
 Results:
• version 12.0
• service timestamps debug uptime
• service timestamps log uptime
• no service password-encryption
• service udp-small-servers
• service tcp-small-servers
• !
• hostname Lab-A
• !
• enable secret 5 $1$emBK$WxqLahy7YOAf0nifub.hU.
• !
• ip subnet-zero

Like people, routers have to talk
to one another!

to one another!

Step Four

Set up routing protocols

 Routing Protocols:

RIP RIPv2
IGRP EIGRP
OSPF
 Set up the routing protocol

Lab-A(config)#router rip
(Note prompt change)

Lab-A(config-router)#network 192.5.5.0
Lab-A(config-router)#network 205.7.5.0
Lab-A(config-router)#network 201.100.11.0
 Note!
• You have to configure for EACH network
• (remember network # is the “wire” #)
• Each network is on a separate line
• Hit Control z to activate and return to:

• Lab-A#
 Lab-A#show run
(router portion of show run)

!
router rip
network 192.5.5.0
network 201.100.11.0
network 205.7.5.0
!
 Control Access

Control and secure access from:

CONSOLE
VTY (telnet)
AUX (modem)
 Control Access
Step Five

Lab-A(config)#line console 0
Lab-A(config-line)#password cisco

(Note prompt change)

Lab-A(config-line)#login
 Continue

Lab-A(config)#line vty 0 4
Lab-A(config-line)#password cisco
Lab-A(config-line)#login
 Control Z
(typing the word “exit” at the prompt takes
you up one level)
Lab-A#show run will give the following results:
line con 0
password cisco
login
transport input none
line aux 0
line vty 0 4
password cisco
login
Want to save time and move fast
between routers?

Step Six
 A REAL time Saver!

Lab_A(config)#ip host Lab_A 192.5.5.1 205.7.5.1 201.100.11.1

Lab_A(config)#ip host Lab_B 219.17.100.1 199.6.13.1 201.100.11.2
Lab_A(config)#ip host Lab_C 223.8.151.1 204.204.7.1 199.6.13.2
Lab_A(config)#ip host Lab_D 210.93.105.1 204.204.7.2
Lab_A(config)#ip host Lab_E 210.93.105.2
Lab_A(config)# ^z
 Turn on the interfaces:
Step Seven
• Lab-A(config)#interface s0
• Lab-A(config-if)#no shutdown
• Lab-A(config-if)#interface e0
• Lab-A(config-if)#no shutdown
• Lab-A(config-if)#interface e1
• Lab-A(config-if)#no shutdown
For Lab-A router, you
are through!
 Program the other routers the
same way, BUT:
• Use the interfaces in use on each particular
router
• Use the correct ip address/network address
for each port on that router
• Check and save your configuration!
• Router#show run (Check)
• Router#copy run start (Save)
 Let’s Review:
• Step 1 – name router
• Hostname xxxxx
• Step 2 – set “privilege” password and
encode it
• Enable secret xxxxx
• Step 3 – configure interfaces
• Interface sX (or eX)
• Step 4 – Set the routing protocols
• Router rip
• Step 5 – Set who and where access comes
from
• Line console (vty)
• Step 6 – Save Time
• Ip host xxx.xxx.xxx yyy.yyy.yyy
• Step 7 – Turn on interfaces
• Router(config-if)#no shutdown
 Check and Save your work!
• Check your config
• Router#show run
• Save your configuration from RAM to
NVRAM
• Router#copy run start
You’re Through!
