Objectives
Configure static routes. Configure a routing protocol (RIP v2). Configure a switch management VLAN IP address. Test and verify configurations.
Background / Preparation
This lab reviews the primary IOS commands used to manage, configure, and monitor devices in a multirouter network. In this lab, you will configure two routers using static routes and then using a routing protocol; configure a switch, including access to management functions; and configure two hosts. You will make and verify configuration changes on the switch. You will also verify network configurations and connectivity. The following resources are required: Cisco 2960 switch or other comparable switch Two 1841 or other compatible Cisco routers with Fast Ethernet interfaces to connect to switch and host Two Windows-based PCs, at least one with a terminal emulation program At least one RJ45-to-DB-9 connector console cable Two straight-through Ethernet cables One crossover Ethernet cable Access to the PC command prompt Access to PC network TCP/IP configuration

Erasing and Reloading the Switch

For the majority of the labs in CCNA Discovery, it is necessary to start with an unconfigured switch. Using a switch with an existing configuration may produce unpredictable results. The following instructions prepare the switch prior to performing the lab so that previous configuration options do not interfere. Instructions are provided for the 2900 and 2950 series switches. a. Enter into privileged EXEC mode by typing enable. If prompted for a password, enter class (if that does not work, ask the instructor). Switch>enable b. Remove the VLAN database information file. Switch#delete flash:vlan.dat Delete filename [vlan.dat]?[Enter] Delete flash:vlan.dat? [confirm] [Enter] If there was no VLAN file, this message is displayed: %Error deleting flash:vlan.dat (No such file or directory) c. Remove the switch startup configuration file from NVRAM. Switch#erase startup-config The responding line prompt is: Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm] Press Enter to confirm. The response should be: Erase of nvram: complete d. Check that VLAN information was deleted. Verify that the VLAN configuration was deleted in Step b using the show vlan command. If previous VLAN configuration information (other than the default management VLAN 1) is still present, you must power cycle the switch (hardware restart) instead of issuing the reload command. To power cycle the switch, remove the power cord from the back of the switch or unplug it, and then plug it back in. If the VLAN information was successfully deleted in Step b, go to Step e and restart the switch using the reload command. e. Restart the software using the reload command. NOTE: This step is not necessary if the switch was restarted using the power cycle method. 1) At the privileged EXEC mode, enter the reload command: Switch(config)#reload The responding line prompt is: System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: 2) Type n, and then press Enter. The responding line prompt is: Proceed with reload? [confirm] [Enter] The first line of the response is: Reload requested by console.

Erasing and Reloading the Router

a. Enter the privileged EXEC mode by typing enable. Router>enable b. In privileged EXEC mode, enter the erase startup-config command. Router#erase startup-config The responding line prompt is: Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm] c. Press Enter to confirm. The response is: Erase of nvram: complete d. In privileged EXEC mode, enter the reload command. Router(config)#reload The responding line prompt is: System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: e. Type n and then press Enter. The responding line prompt is: Proceed with reload? [confirm] f. Press Enter to confirm. In the first line of the response is: Reload requested by console. After the router has reloaded the line prompt is: Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: g. Type n and then press Enter. The responding line prompt is: Press RETURN to get started! h. Press Enter. The router is ready for the assigned lab to be performed.

CCNA Discovery Introducing Routing and Switching in the Enterprise SDM Router Basic IOS Configuration to Bring Up SDM
If the startup-config is erased in an SDM router, SDM will no longer come up by default when the router is restarted. It will be necessary to build a basic config as follows. Further details regarding the setup and use of SDM are can be found in the SDM Quick Start Guide: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps5318/products_quick_start09186a0080511c89.html#wp44788 a. Set the router Fa0/0 IP address. This is the interface that a PC will connect to using a browser to bring up SDM. The PC IP address should be set to 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.248. NOTE: An SDM router other than the 1841 may require connection to a different port to access SDM. Router(config)#interface Fa0/0 Router(config-if)#ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.248 Router(config-if)#no shutdown b. Enable the router's HTTP/HTTPS server, using the following Cisco IOS commands: Router(config)#ip http server Router(config)#ip http secure-server Router(config)#ip http authentication local c. Create a user account with privilege level 15 (enable privileges). Router(config)#username <username> privilege 15 password 0 <password> Replace <username> and <password> with the username and password that you want to configure.
d. Configure SSH and Telnet for local login and privilege level 15. Router(config)#line vty 0 4 Router(config-line)#privilege level 15 Router(config-line)#login local Router(config-line)#transport input telnet Router(config-line)#transport input telnet ssh Router(config-line)#exit
