Packet Tracer - 0.0.0.1 Lab - Initializing and Reloading a Router and Switch

Part 1 - Set Up Devices in the Network as Shown in the Topology

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology

Once you have listed your network and end devices select the connections tab and select the blue console cable. Connect this from your end device on port RS 232 to the console port in the network devices. This allows you to configure the network devices through the terminal now. It should look like the image below

Step 2: Power on all the devices in the topology
To power on the devices. Click on the devices and it will open up a visual interface of what the device would look like in a real environment. Zoom in if need to find the power switch and make sure that all devices are turned on. If your device is turned on then there will be a green light next to the power switch.

Part 2 - Initialize the Router and Reload

Step 1: Connect to the router 

Step 2: Erase the startup configurationf ile from NVRAM

Step 3: Reload the router

Step 4: Bypass the initial configuration dialog

Step 5: Terminate the autoinstall program

step 1 - is it a LAN, WAN or MAN?


global commands

step 1 - Display current configurations (show running-config)
step 2 - Save current configurations set! (copy running-config startup-config / hit enter to save!)

Entering the computers
step 1 - click the PC
step 2 - go to desktop tab
step 3 - click I.P configuration
step 4 - set static I.P (192.168.1.2) subnet mask should autofill
step 5 - set default gateway as the network address (192.168.1.1)
step 6 - close PC

second PC
step 1 - same routine but change I.P (192.168.2.2)
step 2 - same routine but change gateway (192.168.2.1)


Entering the router
step 1 - enter the router
step 2 - enter CLI
step 3 - enable priveledge mode (enable)
step 4 - configure terminal (conf t)
step 5 - rename router (hostname matts_router)
step 6 - set a password for logging into priveledged exec mode (enable secret sony123)
step 7 - configure the password for the console line (line con 0)
step 8 - set password (password matt)
step 9 - enable password prompting (login)
step 10 - exit config line mode (exit)
step 11 - configure password for virtual terminal lines (line vty 0 4)
step 12 - password (password matt)
step 13 - enable password prompting (login)
step 14 - exit (exit)
step 15 - configure the interfaces
step 16 - configuring interface 1 (interface fastethernet0/0)
step 17 - give the interface a description (description Router0 FastEthernet0/0)
step 17 - give interface 1 an I.P address and subnet mask (ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0)
step 18 - ENABLE THE INTERFACE! - (no shutdown)
