    Basic Router Configuration

    Honolulu Community College


    Cisco Academy Training Center
    Semester 2
    Version 2.1
    Overview
    1. This chapter covers general information
    about the router.
    2. Elements of the Router.
    3. Cisco Discovery Protocol.
    4. Remotely accessing a router - telnet.
    5. Testing network connectivity:
    ping
    trace
    debug
    Configuration Sources
    Router can be configured from:
    console terminal (initial configuration).
    via modem using AUX port.
    virtual terminal (telnet), once configured.
    TFTP server on network.
    Internal Configuration Components
    RAM/DRAM
    Routing tables.
    ARP cache.
    Packet buffering
    Packet queues.
    Running configuration.

    RAM contents lost when power is lost.

    NVRAM - nonvolatile.
    Backup configuration, (startup config).
    NVRAM retains data when power is turned off.
    Internal Configuration Components (cont)
    Flash - erasable, reprogrammable ROM.
    OS image & microcode.
    Can have multiple copies of IOS.

    Flash contents are retained when power is turned


    off.

    ROM - read only memory.


    POST (power on self test).
    Bootstrap program.
    Operating system software.
    Internal Configuration Components
    Interfaces - network connections thru which
    packets enter and exit the router.
    Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
    Ciscos proprietary command.
    Allows access to configurations of directly
    connected routers.
    Commands include:
    cdpenable
    show cdp interface
    show cdp entry {device name}
    show cdp neighbors
    show cdp neighbors detail
    Telnet Operations
    Telnet is a virtual terminal protocol, which
    allows connections to hosts.
    Telnet is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
    Routers can have up to 5 simultaneous telnet
    sessions.
    Can telnet by entering host name.
    EXIT or LOGOUT to end telnet session.
    Telnet tests upper-layer
    connectivity.

    Ping (ICMP)checks network


    connectivity (end-to-end).

    Trace tests each step along


    the way, when data is sent.

    Show ip route checks for a


    routing table entry.

    Show interface serial


    displays line and data-link
    protocol status.
    Is Link Operational?
    Interface has two components:
    Hardware.
    Software.
    show interface serial Command
    Displays line and data-link protocol status.
    Line status:
    triggered by
    Carrier Detect signal.
    Physical-layer status.

    Line protocol:
    triggered by
    keepalive frames.
    Data-link framing.
    show interface Command
    Displays statistical data about interface.
    clear counters will reset counters to zero.
    Debug Command
    Displays the specified network events on
    console.
    Used for troubleshooting, can significantly
    slow the network.
    undebug all command to turn debugging off.
    Debug messages can be diplayed on console,
    telnet terminal, UNIX host, or internal buffer.
    terminal monitor command lets you redirect
    debug data to virtual terminal (telnet).
    Summary 1
    Router modes in Cisco IOS.
    User-mode: allows limited checks on
    configuration status.
    Privileged-mode: allows detailed examination,
    remote access, debugging.
    Global Configuration mode: make simple one
    line changes in config file.
    Specific Configuration mode: make complex,
    multi-line changes in config file.
    Setup mode: configuration dialog.
    RXBOOT mode: password recovery.
    Summary 2
    Router elements:
    RAM/DRAM
    NVRAM
    Flash
    ROM
    Interfaces

    CDP - to access configuration information


    about directly connected routers.
    Summary 3
    Testing:
    Telnet - layer 7, can router be accessed?
    Ping - layer 3, are protocol packets being
    routed? (end-to-end)
    Trace - tests each step along the way.
    Show ip route - looks at routing table for target
    network table entry.
    Show interface serial - checks line and
    protocol status.
    Debug.
