PACKET TRACER ACTIVITY

ACTIVITY 1

1.  The IOS can provide help for commands depending on the level accessed. The prompt currently displayed is called User EXEC, and the device is waiting for a command. The most basic form of help is to type a question mark (?) at the prompt to display a list of commands.

S1> ?

2.  At the prompt, type t and then a question mark (?).

S1> t?

  3. At the prompt, type te and then a question mark (?).

S1> te?

  4. At the prompt, type the question mark (?).

S1> ?

  

 5.  Type en and press the Tab key.

S1> en<Tab>

What displays after pressing the Tab key?

6. When prompted, type the question mark (?).

      S1# ?

7. When in privileged EXEC mode, one of the commands starting with the letter ‘C’ is configure. Type either the full command or enough of the command to make it unique. Press the <Tab> key to issue the command and press ENTER.

S1# configure

What is the message that is displayed?

8.  This is called global configuration mode. This mode will be explored further in upcoming activities and labs. For now, return to privileged EXEC mode by typing end, exit, or Ctrl-Z.

S1(config)# exit

S1#

 

9. Use the clock command to further explore Help and command syntax. Type show clock at the privileged EXEC prompt.

S1# show clock

What information is displayed? What is the year that is displayed?

10.  Use the context-sensitive Help and the clock command to set the time on the switch to the current time. Enter the command clock and press ENTER.

S1# clock<ENTER>

What information is displayed?

11. The “% Incomplete command” message is returned by the IOS. This indicates that the clock command needs more parameters. Any time more information is needed, help can be provided by typing a space after the command and the question mark (?).

S1# clock ?

What information is displayed?

 12. Set the clock using the clock set command. Proceed through the command one step at a time.

S1# clock set ?

What information is being requested?

 13.  Based on the information requested by issuing the clock set ? command, enter a time of 3:00 p.m. by using the 24-hour format of 15:00:00. Check to see if more parameters are needed.

S1# clock set 15:00:00 ?

The output returns a request for more information:

<1-31> Day of the month

MONTH Month of the year

 14.  Attempt to set the date to 01/31/2035 using the format requested. It may be necessary to request additional help using the context-sensitive Help to complete the process. When finished, issue the show clock command to display the clock setting. The resulting command output should display as:

S1# show clock

 15. If you were not successful, try the following command to obtain the output above:

S1# clock set 15:00:00 31 Jan 2035

 16. Issue the following command and record the messages:

S1# cl

What information was returned?

S1# clock

What information was returned?

S1# clock set 25:00:00

What information was returned?

S1# clock set 15:00:00 32

What information was returned?

c.     The first password is the console password you configured for line con 0. Enter this password to return to user EXEC mode.

d.    Enter the command to access privileged mode.

e.     Enter the second password you configured to protect privileged EXEC mode.

f.     Verify your configurations by examining the contents of the running-configuration file:

S1# show running-config

 

3. The enable password should be replaced with the newer encrypted secret password using the enable secret command. Set the enable secret password to itsasecret.

S1# config t

S1(config)# enable secret itsasecret

S1(config)# exit

S1#

4.  Enter the show running-config command again to verify the new enable secret password is configured.

Note: You can abbreviate show running-config as

S1# show run

5. We will now encrypt these plain text passwords using the service password-encryptioncommand.

S1# config t

S1(config)# service password-encryption

S1(config)# exit

6. The Cisco IOS command set includes a feature that allows you to configure messages that anyone logging onto the switch sees. These messages are called message of the day, or MOTD banners. Enclose the banner text in quotations or use a delimiter different from any character appearing in the MOTD string.

S1# config t

S1(config)# banner motd "This is a secure system. Authorized Access Only!"

S1(config)# exit

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

S1#

7. You have completed the basic configuration of the switch. Now back up the running configuration file to NVRAM to ensure that the changes made are not lost if the system is rebooted or loses power.

S1# copy running-config startup-config

Destination filename [startup-config]?[Enter]

Building configuration...

[OK]

Configure S2 :

1. You have completed the configuration on S1. You will now configure S2. If you cannot remember the commands, refer to Parts 1 to 4 for assistance.

Configure S2 with the following parameters:

a.     Name device: S2

b.    Protect access to the console using the letmein password.

c.     Configure an enable password of c1$c0 and an enable secret password of itsasecret.

d.    Configure a message to those logging into the switch with the following message:

Authorized access only. Unauthorized access is prohibited and violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

e.     Encrypt all plain text passwords.

f.     Ensure that the configuration is correct.

g.    Save the configuration file to avoid loss if the switch is powered down.

ACTIVITY 4

1. 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.

a.     Which command displays the statistics for all interfaces configured on a router?

b.    Which command displays the information about the Serial 0/0/0 interface only?

   2. Enter the following commands to address and activate the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface on R1:

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

      4. It is good practice to configure a description for each interface to help document the network information. Configure an interface description indicating to which device it is connected.

R1(config-if)# description LAN connection to S1

     

     5. 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

6. Save the configuration files on both routers to NVRAM. What command did you use?
