Packet Tracer - Connect A Router To A LAN: Addressing Table
Addressing Table
Objectives
Part 1: Display Router Information
Part 2: Configure Router Interfaces
Part 3: Verify the Configuration
Background
In this activity, you will use various show commands to display the current state of
the router. You will then use the Addressing Table to configure router Ethernet
interfaces. Finally, you will use commands to verify and test your configurations.
Note: The routers in this activity are partially configured. Some of the configurations
are not covered in this course but they are provided to assist you in using verification
commands.
b. Which command displays the information about the Serial 0/0/0 interface only?
show interface serial 0/0/0
c. Enter the command to display the statistics for the Serial 0/0/0 interface on R1 and
answer the following questions:
1. What is the IP address configured on R1?
209.165.200.225/30
d. Enter the command to display the statistics for the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface and
answer the following questions:
1. What is the IP address on R1?
There is no IP address configured on the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface.
3. Are all the Ethernet interfaces on R1 the same? If no, explain the difference(s).
No, they are not. There are two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and 4 Fast
Ethernet interfaces. Gigabit Ethernet interfaces support speeds of up to
1,000,000,000 bits per second and Fast Ethernet interfaces support speeds
of up to 1,000,000 bits per second.
3. How does a router handle a packet destined for a network that is not listed in
the routing table?
A router will only send packets to a network listed in the routing table. If a
network is not listed, the packet will be dropped.
Part 2: Configure Router Interfaces
Step 1: Configure the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface on R1.
a. Enter the following commands to address and activate the GigabitEthernet 0/0
interface on R1:
R1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0
R1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)#no shutdown
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet0/0, changed state to up
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/0,
changed state to up
b. It is good practice to configure a description for each interface to help document the
network. Configure an interface description that indicates the device to which it is
connected.
R1(config-if)#description LAN connection to S1
How many interfaces on R1 and R2 are configured with IP addresses and in the “up”
and “up” state?
3 on each router
What part of the interface configuration is NOT displayed in the command output?
The subnet mask
What commands can you use to verify this part of the configuration?
show run, show interfaces, show ip protocols
b. Use the show ip route command on both R1 and R2 to view the current routing tables
and answer the following questions:
1. How many connected routes (uses the C code) do you see on each router?
3
2. How many OSPF routes (uses the O code) do you see on each router?
Both R1 and R2 show 2 OSPF routes.
3. If the router knows all the routes in the network, then the number of connected
routes and dynamically learned routes (OSPF) should equal the total number
of LANs and WANs. How many LANs and WANs are in the topology?
5
4. Does this number match the number of C and O routes shown in the routing
table?
yes
Note: If your answer is “no”, then you are missing a required configuration.
