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 andtraceroute.
Create a startup configuration file.
Reload a startup configuration file.
Install a terminal emulation program.

Scenario
In this lab activity, you will review previously learned skills including cabling devices, establishing a
console connection, and basic IOS command line interface operation and co nfiguration commands. You
will also learn to save configuration files and capture yourconfigurations 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
shorter version, 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 labis 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 the available interfaces on a router
is by entering the show ip interface brief command.
W hich 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 on the S1 switch.
W hat color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/0 interface on R1? _______________
W hat 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.
W hat color is the link status light next to the NIC interface on PC1? _______________
W hat color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/2 interface on S1? _______________
If the link status lights arenot 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 straight through Ethernet cable 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...
