Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to: • • • • • • • •Cable devices and establish console connections. Erase and reload the routers. Perform basic IOS command line interface operations. Perform basic router configuration. Verify and test configurations using show commands, ping and traceroute. Create a startup configuration file. Reload a startup configuration file. Install a terminal emulation program.

Scenario
In this lab activity, you will reviewpreviously learned skills including cabling devices, establishing a console connection, and basic IOS command line interface operation and configuration commands. You will also learn to save configuration files and capture your configurations to a text file. The skills presented in this lab are essential to completing the rest of the labs in this course. However, you may substitute the shorterversion, Lab 1.5.2: Basic Router Configuration, if your instructor determines that you are proficient in the essential skills reviewed in this lab.

Lab 1.5.1:Cabling a Network and Basic Router Configuration

Task 1: Cable the Ethernet Links of the Network.
Cable the Ethernet links for a network that is similar to the one in the Topology Diagram. The output used in this lab is from Cisco 1841 routers. But you can use any current router in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces as shown in the topology. A simple way to identify theavailable interfaces on a router is by entering the show ip interface brief command. Which of the devices in the Topology Diagram require an Ethernet cable between them? ____________________________________________________ Step 1: Connect the R1 Router to the S1 Switch. Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the FastEthernet 0/0 interface of the R1 router to the FastEthernet 0/1 interface onthe R1 switch. What color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/0 interface on R1? _______________ What color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/1 interface on S1? _______________ Step 2: Connect PC1 to the S1 Switch. Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the network interface card (NIC) of PC1 to the FastEthernet 0/2 Interface of the S1 switch. What coloris the link status light next to the NIC interface on PC1? _______________ What color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/2 interface on S1? _______________ If the link status lights are not green, wait a few moments for the link between the two devices to become established. If the lights do not turn green after a few moments, check that you are using a straightthrough Ethernetcable and that the power is on for the S1 switch and PC1. Step 3: Connect PC2 to the R2 Router. Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the FastEthernet 0/0 interface of the R2 router to the NIC of PC2. Because there is no switch between PC2 and the R2 router, a crossover cable is required for a direct link between the PC and the router. What color is the link status light next to the NIC...
