15 Cisco Device Management

- Lab Exercise
In this lab you will perform a factory reset, password recovery, configuration
backup, and system image backup and recovery on a Cisco router. You will also
perform an IOS upgrade on a Cisco switch.

Use Cisco Packet Tracer for this exercise. The generic server in Packet Tracer
(as shown in the topology diagram below) has built-in TFTP server software.

Lab Topology

Load the Startup Configurations

Open the ‘15 Cisco Device Management.pkt’ file in Packet Tracer to load the lab.
Factory Reset

1) View the running configuration on R1. Note that the hostname and
interface have been configured.

2) Factory reset R1 and reboot.

3) Watch the boot up process as the router boots.

4) The router should boot into the Setup Wizard. Exit out of the wizard and
then confirm the startup and running configurations are empty.

5) Paste the configuration for R1 from the ‘15 Cisco Device Management
Configs.zip’ file back into the configuration and save. You will find it here:
Password Recovery

6) Set the enable secret ‘Flackbox1’ on R1 and save the running-


configuration.

7) Configure the router to boot into the rommon prompt on next reload with
an appropriate command and reboot the router.

8) In rommon mode, configure the router to ignore the startup-config when


booting up, and reload the router.

9) The router should boot into the Setup Wizard. Exit out of the wizard.

10) What do you expect to see if you view the running and startup
configurations? Confirm this.

11) Copy the startup config to the running config. Do not miss this step or you
will factory reset the router!

12) Verify the status of interface GigabitEthernet0/0. Why is it down?

13) Bring interface GigabitEthernet0/0 up.

14) Remove the enable secret.

15) Ensure the router will reboot normally on the next reload and that you will
be able to access the router.

16) Reboot the router and confirm it has the expected configuration.

Configuration Backup

17) Backup the running configuration to Flash on R1. Use a suitable name for
the backup file. Verify the configuration has been backed up.

18) Backup the R1 startup configuration to the TFTP server. Use a suitable
name for the backup file. Verify the configuration has been backed up.
IOS System Image Backup and Recovery

19) Backup the IOS system image on R1 to the TFTP server. Verify the
configuration has been backed up.

20) Delete the system image from Flash and reload.

21) Use Internet search to find system recovery instructions for your model of
router. Recover the system image using the TFTP server.

IOS Image Upgrade

22) Verify SW1 is running C2960 Software (C2960-LANBASE-M), Version


12.2(25)FX

23) Use the TFTP server to upgrade to c2960-lanbasek9-mz.150-2.SE4.bin

24) Reboot and verify the switch is running the new software version.
