2. Router is a device which provides communication possible between two or more different networks. To allow communication between two or more different networks present in the same geographical location, what are the steps to be taken: Answer : Configure a Software Router. What is a Router ?

3. Is communication possible ? 10.0.0.1/8 S0 10.0.0.2/8 S1 E0 192.168.1.1/24 E0 192.168.1.2/24 LAN 192.168.1.0/24 HYD CHE 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.7 1.6 1.5

4. As both the Networks have the same Network ID, the hosts will look for the Destination within the LAN and does not forward the request to the Default Gateway (Router). Hence the communication is not possible. Is communication possible ?

10. Example Modular Router

11. Fixed Router - Model 2501 Serial Ports S0 and S1 AUI Attachment Unit Interface E0 Console Con 0 Auxiliary Aux 0 Power Switch Power Supply Chassis

12. AUI pin configuration is 15 pin female. It is known as Ethernet Port or LAN port or Default Gateway. It is used for connecting LAN to the Router. Transceiver is used for converting 8 wires to 15 wires. i.e. RJ45 to 15 pin converter. Attachment Unit Interface

13. Transceiver

14. An IP address needs to be assigned to this interface and it should be in the same network as of the LAN. Attachment Unit Interface E0 192.168.1.1/24 LAN - 192.168.1.0/24 Straight Cable 1.4 1.3 1.2

15. Attachment Unit Interface If you connect Router AUI to directly to PC LAN Card then You have to use Cross Cable LAN - 192.168.1.0/24 Cross Cable LAN - 192.168.1.0/24 1.2

23. It is known as Local Administrative Port It is generally used for Initial Configuration, Password Recovery and Local Administration of the Router. It is RJ45 Port IMP : It is the most delicate port on the Router. So make less use of the Console Port. Console Port

24. Console Connectivity

25. Connect a rollover cable to the router console port (RJ-45 connector). Connect the other end of the rollover cable to the RJ-45 to DB-9 converter Attach the female DB-9 converter to a PC Serial Port. Open Emulation Software

26. DB9 Converter

27. It is known as Remote Administrative Port. Used for remote administration Its an RJ-45 port A console or a rollover cable is to be used. Auxiliary Port

28. Auxiliary Connectivity

29. BRI Port Basic Rate Interface used to connect ISDN to the Router. It is a RJ45 Port. It is available on 2503 and 2520 model router. 10 Base T Port It is a RJ45 Port and used for connecting LAN to the Router. Its function is same as the AUI Port but there is no need for a Transceiver. It is available on 2520 model router. Other Ports
