Introduction to WANs

• A WAN is a data communications network

that spans a large geographic area such
as a state, province, or country.

Router

• A router is a special type of computer.

• Same basic components as a standard desktop PC.
• It has a CPU, memory, a system bus, and various input/output
interfaces.
• However, routers are designed to perform some very specific functions
that are not typically performed by desktop computers. For example,
routers connect and allow communication between two networks and
determine the best path for data to travel through the connected
networks.
• Just as computers need operating systems to run software
applications, routers need the Internetwork Operating System (IOS)
software to run configuration files.
• Routers use routing protocols to determine the best path for packets.
• The configuration file specifies all the information for the correct setup
and use of the selected, or enabled, routing and routed protocols on a
router.

Internetwork Routers
• Any internetwork must include the following:
– Consistent end-to-end addressing
– Best path selection
– Dynamic or static routing
– Switching

Console Port Connections

1. Configure terminal emulation software on the PC for the

following:
The appropriate com port
9600 baud
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
No flow control
2. Connect a rollover cable to the router console port (RJ-45
connector).
3. Connect the other end of the rollover cable to the RJ-45 to DB-9
adapter
4. Attach the female DB-9 adapter to a PC.
