To view the statistics for a specific interface, enter the show interfaces command followed by the specific interface and port number. show controllers serial – Displays information-specific to the interface hardware show clock – Shows the time set in the router show hosts – Displays a cached list of host names and addresses show users – Displays all users who are connected to the router show history – Displays a history of commands that have been entered show flash – Displays information about flash memory and what IOS files are stored there show version – Displays information about the router and the IOS that is running in RAM show ARP – Displays the ARP table of the router show protocol – Displays the global and interface specific status of any configured Layer 3 protocols show startup-configuration – Displays the saved configuration located in NVRAM s how running-configuration – Displays the configuration currently running in RAM

16. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu16 Configuring a serial interface Router(config)#interface serial 0/0 Router(config-if)#ip address Configuring an IP Address on an interface…

17. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu17 show ip interface command A serial interface will not show “up” and “up” unless both ends are properly configured (mostly) and a the no shutdown command is used. If one router’s configuration looks okay, check the other router’s configuration. Router# show ip interface brief Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol Ethernet0 131.108.1.11 YES manual up up Serial0 198.135.2.49 YES manual administratively down down What is wrong here? The administrator has either done a “shutdown” on the interface or has forgotten to do a “no shutdown”.

18. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu18 Lab Real world On serial links that are directly interconnected, as in a lab environment, one side must be considered a DCE and provide a clocking signal. The clock is enabled and speed is specified with the clock rate command. Router(config)#interface serial 0/0 Router(config-if)#clock rate 56000 Router(config-if)#no shutdown Configuring a serial interface

19. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu19 RouterB(config)#inter serial 1 RouterB(config-if)#clock rate ?

20. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu20 How can you tell which end is the DTE and which end is the DCE? Look at the label on the cable. Look at the connecter between the two cables - The DTE cable will always be male and the DCE cable will always be female. DTE CableDCE Cable Configuring a serial interface

Use the show controllers command! It will also tell you the type of cable, in our labs we will be using a V.35 cable. This is one of few commands where there must be a space between the interface type and the port. Configuring a serial interface

22. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu22 Please be very careful when connecting the male and female V.35 cables together AND when connecting the serial cable to the router! They only connect ONE WAY! Be sure the two ends match! Don’t force it! This end up! (The wider end is up.) Configuring a serial interface

25. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu25 The running-config The configuration file contains global, process, and interface information that directly affects the operation of the router and its interface ports.

If the router loses power or reboots, everything in RAM is lost including the running- config file. To make sure the changes to the router’s configuration remain saved, you must copy the running-config from RAM into the startup-config into NVRAM: Router# copy running-config startup-config copy running-config startup-config

33. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu33 Finishing the Configuration

34. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu34 Importance of configuration standards In order to manage a network, there must be a centralized support standard. Configuration, security, performance, and other issues must be adequately addressed for the network to function smoothly. Creating standards for network consistency helps reduce network complexity, the amount of unplanned downtime, and exposure to events that may have an impact on network performance.

Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu40 Host name resolution Router# ping 172.16.32.1 Router# ping Auckland Router# telnet 192.168.53.1 Router# telnet Beirut Router# traceroute 192.168.89.1 Router# traceroute Capetown The Cisco IOS software maintains a cache of host name-to-address mappings for use by EXEC commands. This cache speeds up the process of converting names to addresses. Host names, unlike DNS names, are significant only on the router on which they are configured. (DNS is also an option – later)

41. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu41 Host name resolution This does not make the router a DNS (Domain Name Server). This command does not turn your router into a DNS server. This command does not effect packets entering your router to be routed. This only affects the IOS commands entered at the router prompt. Multiple ip addresses can be entered in case one interface is down. It is usually a good idea to use the same list of names on all your router configs. Router(config)# ip host SantaCruz 172.16.32.1 192.168.53.1 Configuring Multiple IP Addresses

42. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu42 Configuring host tables

43. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu43 If you are not using the services of a DNS server, it is best to disable this process. DNS (Domain Name Service) is enabled by default with a server address of 255.255.255.255, which is a local broadcast. If enabled, with no DNS server on the network, may cause a slight, but irritable delay when making typing mistakes. Router(config)# ip domain-lookup Router#wreh Translating "wreh"...domain server (255.255.255.255) (Takes a few seconds) Router(config)# no ip domain-lookup Router#wreh Translating "wreh" % Unknown command or computer name, or unable to find computer address

44. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu44 Configuration backup and documentation Configuration files should be stored as backup files in the event of a problem. Configuration files can be stored on a network server, on a TFTP server, or on a disk stored in a safe place.

45. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu45 Copying, editing, and pasting configurations A TFTP server will allow image and configuration uploads and downloads over the network. The TFTP server can be another router, or it can be a host system.

46. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu46 The TFTP host can be any system that has TFTP software loaded and operating and able to receive files from the TCP/IP network. Copying, editing, and pasting configurations

49. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu49 When using Windows, the TFTP server software must be running. The copy can be performed from the console port or from a telnet session. The telnet session can be performed on the same computer where the TFTP server is running (or to a different computer). Router# copy flash tftp TFTP Software and Servers

52. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu52 Summary (1/2) The router has several modes: User EXEC mode Privileged EXEC mode Global configuration mode Other configuration modes The command-line interface may be used to make changes to the configuration: Setting the hostname Setting passwords Configuring interfaces Modifying configurations Showing configurations

53. Rick Graziani graziani@cabrillo.edu53 Summary (2/2) An understanding of the following key points should have been achieved: Configuration standards are key elements in the success of any organization maintaining an efficient network. Interface descriptions can include important information to help network administrators understand and troubleshoot their networks. Login banners and messages-of-the-day provide users with information upon login to the router. Host name resolutions translate names to IP addresses to allow the router to quickly convert names to addresses. Configuration backup and documentation is extremely important to keep a network operating smoothly.
