Cisco Router • The Cisco router IOS • Enhanced editing • Administrative functions • Hostnames • Banners • Passwords • Interface descriptions • Verifying your configuration 2
Cisco Router IOS • Carries network protocols and functions • Connects high-speed traffic between devices • Adds security to control access • Provides scalability for growth • Supplies reliability
Connecting To A Cisco Router Cisco 2811 Cisco 1841
Bringing up a Router • There are four major phases to the bootup process: 1. Performing the POST 2. Loading the bootstrap program 3. Locating and loading the Cisco IOS software 4. Locating and loading the startup configuration file or entering setup mode
Bringing up a Router 1. Performing the POST • Power-On Self Test (POST) • When the router is powered on, software on the ROM chip conducts the POST. • During this self-test, the router executes diagnostics from ROM on several hardware components including the CPU, RAM, and NVRAM. • After the POST has been completed, the router executes the bootstrap program.
Bringing up a Router 2. Loading the Bootstrap Program • After the POST, the bootstrap program is copied from ROM into RAM. • Once in RAM, the CPU executes the instructions in the bootstrap program. • The main task of the bootstrap program is to locate the Cisco IOS and load it into RAM.
Bringing up a Router 3. Locating and Loading Cisco IOS • The IOS is typically stored in flash memory. • Note: Once the IOS begins to load, you may see a string of pounds signs (#) while the image decompresses. ############################
Bringing up a Router 4. Locating and Loading the Configuration File • Bootstrap program searches for the startup configuration file, known as startup-config, in NVRAM. • file is copied into RAM as the running configuration file, running-config. • If the startup configuration file can not be located, then we enter setup mode.
Memory • ROM : bootstrap • Flash Memory : Cisco IOS • NVRAM : permanent storage for the startup configuration file (startup-config) • If we made changes then we must save it to the NVRAM
Remember • every interface on the router is a member or host on a different IP network. • Each interface must be configured with an IP address and subnet mask of a different network.
Modes • User mode: • Router> • Used mostly to view statistics • Privileged mode: • enable • Router# • Used to view & change router configuration • Global configuration mode. • config terminal or config t • Router (config)#
we use packet tracer program for router configuration in the 3 previous modes . Open Packet Tracer and choose the router :
Double click on the router Choose CLI for router configuration.
Command-Line Interface (CLI) • More flexible than setup mode. • To use the CLI, just say No to entering the initial configuration dialog.
Now we are in the user mode : To know the commands in user mode we use (?) To enter the privilage mode we write: ( enable )
Configuration certain basic tasks are performed including: • Naming the router • Setting passwords • Configuring interfaces • Configuring a banner • Saving changes on a router • Verifying basic configuration and router operations
Configuration • Naming the router • Setting passwords 1- Lone console password to protect the user mode :Console , Telnet 2- Enable password to protect the privilage mode : 3- Secret password for more protection of privilage mode:
Configuration • Banner • Saving changes and restart • or:
Configuration • Interface configuration • To remove password: • To encrypt all passwords:
Using packet tracer in router addressing 1- We connet the figure . • The cables used are : · Straight : between switch, pc and router, switch. · Cross : between switch, switch . · Serial : betweeen the two routers .
Using packet tracer in addressing 2- We put the IP address for each device as the following : • We have in the figure 3 networks :
Using packet tracer in addressing • To distribute the Ip's on the router interfaces we do the following : • Router 0:
Using packet tracer in addressing • For the second router (Router1 ) :
Using packet tracer in addressing • Give each PC it’s IP address: • For PC0 : From IP configuration :
Using packet tracer in addressing • How to ping from PC0 to the default gateway : • For PC0 :
Using packet tracer in addressing We chose command promot and ping on the default gateway :
Homework Exercise 1- Connect the following network using Packet Tracer. 2- Use IP addresses for PC’s as shown in the figure. 3- For each network between two routers make subnetting from the IP address 192.168.4.0/24. What are the 2 networks addresses? IP’s for router interfaces?
