Title: Configure router using static routing to connect multiple networks in Cisco
Packet Tracer

Objectives:
1. Understand how to operate Cisco Packet Tracer
2. Learn to create and connect multiple networks using static routing
3. Understand wiring of different network components like router, switch, PC etc.
4. Configure router and switch interfaces
5. Verify connectivity of the network

Working Procedure:
Firstly I have set all the 4 PCs and assigned them with IP addresses according to the lab sheet.
Then I have set up the switches. Then I connected switches with PCs and configured the switches.

Then set up the routers. For connection I configured the routers. I have used the following
commands for configuring the routers. Here I have used router 4331 for both.

For 1st router,

For 2 nd Router,
After setting all the connections and configurations, I saw the status of the routers to make sure
they are running.
For router R1_220:
For router R2_220
Finally I have used the command “ping” to see if the gateway routers can be reached from
each PCs.

Questions (Answer to the point):

Q1. Write the command for adding a motd banner with the string "Restricted Access. Only for
authorized individuals."
Ans: switch(config)# banner motd #Restricted Access. Only for authorized individuals.#

Q2. What is the recommended way of enabling password in a cisco device? Why it's better than
other methods?
Ans: enable secret password
We can store it as an encrypted message so this method is better . md5 hash method is used
to store the password.

Q3. What are the differences between DCE and DTE cables?
Ans: DTE is the acronym for Data Terminal Equipment. At the physical layer, the function
of DTE is to look for clocking from the device on the other end of the cable on a link and
look for a frame-switching service.
DCE is the acronym for Data Communications Equipment. It is also called Data
Circuit-Terminating Equipment. At the physical layer, the function of DCE is that it
supplies that clocking.
Q4. Write the command to check the status of all interfaces in a router.
Ans:show interfaces

Q5. How do you make all the configuration changes in a Cisco device persistent? What would
happen if you don’t do this?
Ans To modify running mode, we need to enable privileged mode and then global
configuration mode. Using hostname and password, we make switches and routers
authorized so that no unauthorized action can take place.

Without changing configuration we will not be able to enter in the privileged mode.
Besides, the connecting devices will be unauthorized.

Challenges (if any):

I have faced a lot of troubles. Firstly I could not do this set up properly. Then
using YouTube I am able to detect my eroor and do it properly.
