OBJECTIVE
• Cable a network according to the Topology Diagram.
• Perform basic configuration on the router.
• Check if the PC is pinging successful from the other PC.
REQUIREMENTS
(Lower left of the screen)
• 2 PCs
• Switch (2960)
• Router (1941)
CONNECTIVITY
• Cable the network as shown in the Topology
• Connect the devices using suitable cable
o From PC1 to switch (F0 – F0/1) and Switch to Router (F0/2 – G0/1) Use Copper
Straight-Through
o Router to PC2 (G0/0 – F0) use Cross Over Cable
CONFIGURATION
• Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings on PC1 and PC2
o Click the PC1 and go to Config>Global>Settings to set the Gateway
o Next go to Interface>FastEthernet0 from IP Configuration set it on Static and set
the proper IP address and Subnet Mask
o Repeat the process on PC2 base on the Addressing Table
• Configure the Router
o Click the router and go to CLI
• Console into the router and enable privileged EXEC mode.
o Router> enable
o Router#
• Enter into global configuration mode.
o Router# config terminal
o Router (config)#
• Set the network hostname to R1
o Router (config)# hostname R1
o R1 (config)#
• Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered
commands as though they were hostnames.
o R1 (config)# no ip domain-lookup
• Require that a minimum of 5 characters be used for all passwords
o R1(config)# security passwords min-length 5
• Assign cisco as the privileged EXEC encrypted password
o R1(config)# enable secret cisco
• Assign ciscocon as the console password, set a timeout, enable login, and add the logging
synchronous command.
o R1(config)# line con 0
o R1(config-line)# password ciscocon
o R1(config-line)# exec-timeout 5 0
o R1(config-line)# login
o R1(config-line)# logging synchronous
o R1(config-line)# exit
o R1(config)#
• Set ciscovty as the vty password, set a timeout, enable login, and add the logging synchronous
command
o R1(config)# line vty 0 4
o R1(config-line)# password ciscovty
o R1(config-line)# exec-timeout 5 0
o R1(config-line)# login
o R1(config-line)# logging synchronous
o R1(config-line)# exit
o R1(config)#
• Encrypt the clear text passwords.
o R1(config)# service password-encryption
• Set the banner to “Welcome to Cisco Router1”
o R1(config)# banner motd # Welcome to Cisco Router1#
• IP Configuration
o R1(config)# int g0/0
o R1(config-if)# description Connection to PC2
o R1(config-if)# ip address [Link] [Link]
o R1(config-if)# no shutdown
o R1(config-if)# int g0/1
o R1(config-if)# description Connection to Switch
o R1(config-if)# ip address [Link] [Link]
o R1(config-if)# no shutdown
o R1(config-if)# exit
o R1(config)# exit
o R1#
• Set the clock on the router, for example:
o R1# clock set [Link] 1 Nov 2020
• Save the configuration
o R1# copy running-config startup-config
VERIFY THE NETWORK CONNECTIVITY
• Ping PC2 on the command prompt of PC1
o Click PC1 and go to Desktop>Command Prompt
o Ping PC2 using the Command ping [Link]
