QUESTION

Discuss the basic router commands and troubleshooting purposes

PROCEDURE

WIRED
▪ Connect a router to two switch-and-switch topologies.
▪ Both topologies should be given IP addresses of various classes, and the router should be
given the default gateway (ensure the router status is set on)
▪ Message to confirm

WIRELESS
▪ Connect two topologies connected by two wireless routers to a home router.
▪ Establish a password and unique names for each device.
▪ Establish a password and unique names for each device.
▪ Provide IP addresses of various classes to both topologies.
▪ Provide the router with the default gateway.
▪ Send a message to confirm.

DESCRIPTION

A command line interface (CLI) can give the network administrator more detailed control and
flexibility than a graphical user interface. In Cisco Packet Tracer, you can access the command line
interface by clicking on the connectivity device and then going to the “CLI” menu Manage Execution
Modes
▪ CLI Command Modes
The Cisco IOS supports two levels of access to the CLI: user EXEC mode and privileged EXEC
mode.
▪ User EXEC mode
When a router or other Cisco IOS device is powered up, the access level defaults to user EXEC
mode.
▪ Router
Commands that can be executed in user EXEC mode are limited to obtaining information about
how the device is operating, and troubleshooting using some show commands and the ping and
traceroute utilities.
▪ Global Configuration Mode
To enter global configuration, type the command configure terminal or config t.
 ▪ Router(config)#
Any commands entered in this mode take effect immediately and can alter the operation of the
device.
