CIT 4209 - Router and Routing Basics

Basic Device Navigation and Configuration


Learning Objectives
As a result of this lab section, you should achieve the following tasks:

 Configure device system parameters including device name, the system time, and the
system time zone.

 Configure the console port idle timeout duration.

 Configure the login information.

 Configure the login password

 Save configuration files.

 Configure IP addresses for router interfaces.

 Test the connectivity between two directly connected routers.

 Restart a device using VRP.

Tasks
Step 1 View the system information.
Run the display version command to view the software version and hardware information for the
system.

The command output includes the VRP operating system version, device model, and start up time.

Step 2 Change the system time parameter.


The system automatically saves the time. If the time is incorrect, run the clock timezone
and clock date time commands in the user view to change the system time.

The keyword Local can be exchanged with the current regional time zone name, and add
replaced with minus where the time zone is west of UTC+0.

Run the display clock command to check that the new system time has taken effect.

Step 3 Access the system view.
Run the system-view command to access the system view to configure interfaces and
protocols.

Step 4 Change device names.


To more easily identify devices, set device names during the device configuration. Change
device names based on the lab topology, as shown below:

Change the name of the R1 router to R1.

Change the name of the R3 router to R3.

Step 5 Configure the login information.


Configure the login information to indicate the login result.
[R1] header shell information "Welcome to the ICI lab."
Run the preceding command to configure the login information. To check whether the login
information has been changed, exit from the router command line interface, and log back in to
view the login information.

Step 6 Configure console port parameters.


The console port by default does not have a login password. Users must configure a
password for the console port before logging in to the device.

The password can be changed in the password authentication mode to ICI in plain text.

If there is no activity on the console port for the period of time specified by the timeout
interval, the system will automatically log out the user. When this occurs, log in to the
system again using the configured password.

2
The default timeout interval is set to 10 minutes. If a 10 minutes idle period is not a
reasonable amount of time for the timeout interval, change the timeout interval to a more
suitable duration, here this is set to 20 minutes.

Run the display this command to check the configuration results.

Log out of the system and log back in, using the password set. It should be noted that this
password is required to be set when the router is first initialized.

Step 7 Configure interface IP addresses and descriptions.

Run the display this command to check the configuration results at the current interface view.

3
Run the display interface command to view the interface description.

Step 8 View the file list stored on the current device.

Step 9 Manage device configuration files.

There is no correct configuration file in FLASH

Step 10 Device restart procedure.
