Configuring Interfaces
1. Let’s change the Encapsulation method to the Industry Standard PPP
Protocol between R1 & R2.

R1 c R2

R1#config t R2#config t
R1(config)#Interface S 1/0 R2(config)#Interface S 1/0
R1(config-if)#encap ppp R2(config-if)#encap ppp
R1(config-if)#no shut R2(config-if)#no shut
Verifying a PPP Connection
2. To verify the configuration and status of all my interfaces, type the “Show ip interface brief” command.

R1

R1#show ip interface brief

R2 c
R2#show ip interface brief

The status and the configured IP Addresses will be shown.

3. To Verify the default Encapsulation of the Serial Interface.

R1

R1#show interface S 1/0 (Check the Enapsulation)

R2

R2#show int S 1/0 (Check the Enapsulation)

Verifying the Configuration
4. Another verification is to check the connectivity of the 2 routers. This is done by using the Ping
command. The ping command sends a dummy packet to the specified destination and expects a
response. If you receive a response as “!”, the ping is successful. If you receive a “.”, the ping is
unsuccessful. c

As we haven’t enabled full routing yet on the router, we will ping the directly connected interface
between R1 and R2.

R1

Router#Ping 192.168.12.2

R2

Router#Ping 192.168.12.1
