Cisco 2 - Routers Perrine. J Page 53/7/2016 Chapter 3 Configure a Router - Show One will compile a list of “show” commands to help debug the router. Some of the commands will be: show interface show interface serial port show version show protocol show startup-configuration show running-configuration

Cisco 2 - Routers Perrine. J Page 63/7/2016 Chapter 3 Configure a Router - Interfaces In the following commands, type, refers to either, ethernet, or serial ports. Router(config)#interface type port OR Router(config)#interface type slot/port To bring a port down, or ‘shut it down’, do: Router(config)#interface type port Router(config-if)#shutdown To bring ‘up’ an interface or ‘initialize’ it, do: Router(config)#interface type port Router(config-if)#no shutdown

Cisco 2 - Routers Perrine. J Page 73/7/2016 Chapter 3 Configure a Router - Interfaces Before one does a ‘no shutdown’, all interfaces are in the state: administrative down, line protocol down

Cisco 2 - Routers Perrine. J Page 83/7/2016 Chapter 3 Configure a Router - Interfaces When you are at interface mode, you need to give characteristics to the ethernet or serial port: Router(config)#interface serial 0/0 Router(config-if)#ip address If the serial port is the DCE, then the clock rate must be applied: Router(config-if)#no shutdown Router(config-if)#clock rate Router(config)#interface serial 0/0 Router(config-if)#ip address

Cisco 2 - Routers Perrine. J Page 93/7/2016 Chapter 3 Configure a Router To erase the configuration of a router: Router#erase startup-config Router#reload To load the running configuration of a router into NVRAM, do: Router#copy running-config startup-config

Cisco 2 - Routers Perrine. J Page 103/7/2016 Chapter 3 Configure a Router Give a description to an interface: Router(config)#interface e0 Router(config-if)#description Engineering LAN, Bldg B Give a message of the day (MOTD): Router(config)#banner motd #You have entered a secure area! #

Cisco 2 - Routers Perrine. J Page 113/7/2016 Chapter 3 Configure a Router Give host name resolution, or a mini-DNS table, do: Router(config)# ip host Auckland Router(config)# ip host Beirut Router(config)# ip host Dallas

Cisco 2 - Routers Perrine. J Page 123/7/2016 Chapter 3 Configure a Router To copy information from one place to another, do: Router# copy Router#copy running-config startup-config Router#copy running-config tftp Router#copy tftp startup-config

Cisco 2 - Routers Perrine. J Page 133/7/2016 Chapter 3 Standards One wants to create a standard for networking consistency which will alleviate router configuration by: reducing complexity limiting unplanned downtime limiting events that may impact network performance
