Router Configuration and Setup

Objective:

Learn how to perform basic configuration on a Cisco router using Cisco Packet Tracer.

Materials Needed:

 Cisco Packet Tracer installed on your computer


 A Cisco router (e.g., 1841 or 2811 model)
 Two PCs for testing

Part 1: Introduction to Router Configuration

Overview:

Router configuration involves setting basic settings such as hostname, passwords, interface
configuration, and routing protocols. This ensures proper communication between different
network segments.

Part 2: Basic Router Configuration

Steps:

1. Open Cisco Packet Tracer:


o Launch Cisco Packet Tracer from your computer.

2. Add a Router to the Workspace:


o Click on the "Network Devices" icon.
o Select "Routers" and choose a router model (e.g., 1841).
o Drag the router to the workspace.

3. Add PCs to the Workspace:


o Click on the "End Devices" icon.
o Select "PC" and drag two PCs to the workspace.

4. Connect Devices:
o Using Copper Straight-Through Cable:
 Click on the "Connections" icon (lightning bolt).
 Select "Copper Straight-Through" cable.
 Connect one end to the router's "FastEthernet0/0" and the other end to
PC1's "FastEthernet0".
 Connect the second cable from the router's "FastEthernet0/1" to PC2's
"FastEthernet0".

5. Access the Router CLI:


o Click on the router.
o Go to the "CLI" tab to access the Command Line Interface.

6. Enter Privileged EXEC Mode:


o In the CLI, press Enter to start.
o Type enable to enter Privileged EXEC mode.

Router> enable
Router#

7. Enter Global Configuration Mode:


o Type configure terminal to enter Global Configuration mode.

Router# configure terminal


Router(config)#

8. Set the Hostname:


o Type hostname followed by the desired hostname.

Router(config)# hostname Router1


Router1(config)#

9. Configure Console Access Password:


o Enter the console line configuration mode.

Router1(config)# line console 0


Router1(config-line)#

o Set the console password.

Router1(config-line)# password cisco


Router1(config-line)# login
Router1(config-line)# exit

10. Configure VTY Lines Password:


o Enter the VTY line configuration mode.

Router1(config)# line vty 0 4


Router1(config-line)#

o Set the VTY password.

Router1(config-line)# password cisco


Router1(config-line)# login
Router1(config-line)# exit

11. Configure Enable Password:


o Set the enable password to protect Privileged EXEC mode.
Router1(config)# enable password cisco

12. Configure Enable Secret:


o Set the enable secret password for better security (it overrides the enable
password).

Router1(config)# enable secret class


Part 3: Configuring Router Interfaces

Steps:

1. Configure FastEthernet0/0:
o Enter the interface configuration mode for FastEthernet0/0.

Router1(config)# interface fastethernet0/0


Router1(config-if)#

o Assign an IP address and subnet mask.

Router1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0


Router1(config-if)# no shutdown
Router1(config-if)# exit

2. Configure FastEthernet0/1:
o Enter the interface configuration mode for FastEthernet0/1.

Router1(config)# interface fastethernet0/1


Router1(config-if)#

o Assign an IP address and subnet mask.

Router1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0


Router1(config-if)# no shutdown
Router1(config-if)# exit

3. Save the Configuration:


o Exit to Privileged EXEC mode.

Router1(config)# exit
Router1#

o Save the configuration to NVRAM.

Router1# write memory


Part 4: Verifying the Configuration

Steps:

1. Check the IP Configuration:


o Use the show ip interface brief command to verify IP address configuration.

Router1# show ip interface brief

2. Connect PCs and Assign IP Addresses:


o Click on PC1.
o Go to the "Desktop" tab and select "IP Configuration."
o Assign IP address 192.168.1.2 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Set default
gateway to 192.168.1.1.
o Click on PC2.
o Go to the "Desktop" tab and select "IP Configuration."
o Assign IP address 192.168.2.2 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Set default
gateway to 192.168.2.1.

3. Ping Test:
o From PC1, ping the router interface IP 192.168.1.1.
o From PC2, ping the router interface IP 192.168.2.1.
o Ping between PC1 and PC2 to verify routing.
