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.

Part 1: Display Router Information

Step 1: Display interface information on R1.
Note: Click a device and then click the CLI tab to access the command line directly. The console password is
cisco. The privileged EXEC password is class.

Type your answers.
3) What is the bandwidth (BW) of the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface?
Type your answers 1000000
here. Kbit/sec

Step 2: Display a summary list of the interfaces on R1.

Questions:

a. Which command displays a brief summary of the current interfaces, interface status, and the IP
addresses assigned to them?
Type your answers here.
b. Enter the command on each router and answer the following questions:
1) How many serial interfaces are there on R1 and R2?

here.
2) How many Ethernet interfaces are there on R1 and R2?
Type your answers here.
R1: 2, R2 :2
3) Are all the Ethernet interfaces on R1 the same? If no, explain the difference(s).
No, difference on speed

Type your answers here.

Step 3: Display the routing table on R1.

Questions:

a. What command displays the contents of the routing table?

show ip route
Type your answers here.
b. Enter the command on R1 and answer the following questions:
1) How many connected routes are there (uses the C code)?
Type your1 answers here.
2) Which route is listed?
Type your 209.165.200.224/30.
answers here.
3) How does a router handle a packet destined for a network that is not listed in the routing table?

ICMP Destination Unreachable

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:
Open configuration window

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
c. R1 should now be able to ping PC1.
R1(config-if)# end
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
R1# ping 192.168.10.10

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.10.10, timeout is 2 seconds:
.!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0/2/8 ms

Step 2: Configure the remaining Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces on R1 and R2.

a. Use the information in the Addressing Table to finish the interface configurations for R1 and R2. For each
interface, do the following:
1) Enter the IP address and activate the interface.
2) Configure an appropriate description.
b. Verify interface configurations.

Step 3: Back up the configurations to NVRAM.

Question:

Save the configuration files on both routers to NVRAM. What command did you use?
write memory
Type your answers here.
Close configuration window

Part 3: Verify the Configuration

Step 1: Use verification commands to check your interface configurations.
a. Use the show ip interface brief command on both R1 and R2 to quickly verify that the interfaces are
configured with the correct IP address and are active.
Questions:

How many interfaces on R1 and R2 are configured with IP addresses and in the “up” and “up” state?
GigabitEthernet0/0
Type your answers here. 192.168.10.1 YES manual up up
GigabitEthernet0/1 192.168.11.1 YES manual up up
Serial0/0/0 209.165.200.225 YES manual up up

What part of the interface configuration is NOT displayed in the command output?
Type your answers here. Detailed interface configuration
What commands can you use to verify this part of the configuration?
show running-config interface <interface-name>
Type your answers here.
b. Use the show ip route command on both R1 and R2 to view the current routing tables and answer the
following questions:
Questions:

1) How many connected routes (uses the C code) do you see on each router?
3
Type your answers here.
2) How many OSPF routes (uses the O code) do you see on each router?
Type your answers here.
2
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?
Type your answers here.
4) Does this number match the number of C and O routes shown in the routing table?
Type your answers here. yes
Note: If your answer is “no”, then you are missing a required configuration. Review the steps in Part
2.

Step 2: Test end-to-end connectivity across the network.

You should now be able to ping from any PC to any other PC on the network. In addition, you should be able
to ping the active interfaces on the routers. For example, the following tests should be successful:
• From the command line on PC1, ping PC4.
• From the command line on R2, ping PC2.
Note: For simplicity in this activity, the switches are not configured. You will not be able to ping them.
