Lab-1: IP Addresses and Network Communication
Objectives
• Build a simple peer-to-peer network and verify physical connectivity.
• Assign various IP addresses to hosts and observe the effects on network communication
Background / Preparation
In this lab, you will build a simple peer-to-peer network using two PCs and an Ethernet crossover cable. You will
assign various compatible and non-compatible IP addresses to the hosts and determine the effects on their ability
to communicate.
The following resources are required:
• Two Windows XP Professional PCs, each with an installed and functional Network Interface Card (NIC)
• An Ethernet cross-over cable to connect the PCs (provided by instructor)
• (Optional lab setup) A hub or switch and two straight-through cables to connect the PCs (provided by instructor)
Step 1: Connect the PCs to create a peer-to-peer network

a. Obtain an Ethernet crossover cable provided by the instructor to connect the two PCs.
NOTE: (optional lab setup) The PCs may be connected to a hub (or switch) using two straight-through cables.
The following instructions assume you are using a crossover cable.
b. Plug one end of the cable into the Ethernet NIC of PC1. Plug the other end of the cable into the Ethernet NIC of
PC2. As you insert the cable, you should hear a click which indicates that the cable connector is properly inserted
into the port.
Step 2: Verify physical connectivity

a. After the Ethernet crossover cable is connected to both PCs, take a close look at each Ethernet port. A link light
(usually green or amber) indicates that physical connectivity has been established between the two NICs. Try
unplugging the cable from one PC then reconnecting it to verify that the light goes off then back on.
b. Go to the Control Panel, double click the Network Connections icon, and confirm that the local
PTCL Academy
area connection is established. The following figure shows an active local area connection. If physical connectivity
problems exist, you will see a red X over the Local Area Connection icon with the words Network cable
unplugged.
c. If the Local Area Connection does not indicate that it is connected, troubleshoot by repeating Steps 1and 2.
You may also want to ask your instructor to confirm that you are using an Ethernet crossover cable.
Step 3: Configure IP settings for the two PCs

a. Configure the logical IP addresses for the two PCs so that they are able to communicate usingTCP/IP. On
PC1, go to the Control Panel, double click the Network Connections icon, and then right click the connected Local
Area Connection icon. Choose Properties from the pull-down menu.

Lab-2: Basic Router Configuration
Objectives
• Configure the device host name for a router.
• Configure console, privileged mode and virtual terminal passwords.
• Configure Ethernet and Serial interfaces.
• Verify connectivity between hosts and routers.
Background / Preparation
Set up a network similar to the one in the topology diagram. Any router that meets the interface requirements
displayed in that diagram – such as 800, 1600, 1700, 1800, 2500, and 2600 routers, or a combination – may be
used. Refer to the Router Interface Summary table at the end of the lab to correctly determine the interface
identifiers to be used based, on the equipment in the lab. Depending on the router model, output may vary
somewhat from that shown in this lab. The steps in this lab are intended to be executed on each router unless you
are specifically instructed otherwise.
The following resources are required:
• Two routers, each with an Ethernet and Serial interface. These should be non-SDM routers, if
possible, since the required SDM startup configuration is deleted when the startup-config is erased.
• Two Windows XP computers
• Straight-through category 5 Ethernet cable (PC1 to switch)
PTCL Academy
• Crossover category 5 Ethernet cable (PC2 to router R2)
• Null Serial cable
• Console cable(s) (from PCs 1 and 2 to routers R1 and R2)
• Access to the PC command prompt
• Access to PC network TCP/IP configuration
From each PC start a HyperTerminal session to the attached router.
Step 1: Configure host IP settings

a. Make sure that the PCs are connected according to the topology diagram.
b. Configure static IP addresses on them as follows:
PC attached to R1 switch:
IP address: 172.16.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: 172.16.0.1
PC attached to R2 directly:
IP address: 172.18.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: 172.18.0.1
Step 2: Log in to each router and configure a hostname and password

c. Configure a hostname for each of the two routers.
Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#hostname R1
Repeat this process for router R2 (use R2 for the name of the second router).
d. Configure a console password and enable login for each of the two routers.
R1(config)#line console 0
R1(config-line)#password cisco
R1(config-line)#login
PTCL Academy
R1(config-line)#exit
R1(config)#
Repeat this process for router R2.
e. Configure the password on the virtual terminal lines for each of the two routers.
R1(config)#line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)#password cisco
R1(config-line)#login
R1(config-line)#exit
R1(config)#
f. Configure the enable and enable secret passwords for each of the two routers.
R1(config)#enable password cisco
R1(config)#enable secret class
R1(config)#exit
NOTE: Remember the enable secret password is encrypted from the configuration view. Also do not type enable
secret password class. If you do, the secret password will be password, not class. The enable secret
password takes precedence over the enable password. Once an enable secret password is entered, the enable
password no longer is accepted.
Step 3: Show the router running configuration

a. From the privileged EXEC prompt, issue the show running-config command. This command can be
abbreviated as sh run.
R1#show running-config
b. Is there an encrypted password? _____________
c. Are there any other passwords? _____________
d. Are any of the other passwords encrypted? _____________
Step 4: Configure the serial interface on R1

R1(config-if)#no shutdown
R1(config-if)#exit
R1(config)#exit
NOTE: Enter the clock rate only on the router serial interface to which the DCE interface end of the cable is
attached. The cable type (DTE or DCE) is printed on the outside of each end of the null serial cable. When in
doubt, enter the clock rate command on both router serial interfaces. The command will be ignored on the router
to which the DTE end is attached. The command no shutdown turns on the interface. The command shutdown
turns the interface off.
Step 5: Display information about the serial interface on R1

a. Enter the show interface command on R1.
R1#show interface serial 0/0
b. List at least three details discovered by issuing this command.

a. Use the ping command to test connectivity to the serial interface of the other router. From R1, ping the R2
router serial interface.
R1#ping 172.17.0.2
Does the ping work? _____
b. From R2, ping the R1 router serial interface.
R2#ping 172.17.0.1
c. If the answer is no for either question, troubleshoot the router configurations to find the error. Then ping the
interfaces again until the answer to both questions is yes.
Step 9: Configure the FastEthernet interface on R1

From global configuration mode, configure the Ethernet interface on router R1.
R1(config)#interface FastEthernet 0/0
PTCL Academy
R1(config-if)#exit
R1(config)#exit
NOTE: Ethernet interfaces do not have a DTE or DCE distinction; therefore, it is not necessary to enter the clock
rate command.

______________________________________________________________________________
Step 13: Save the configuration on both routers

Save the running configuration to the startup configuration at the privileged EXEC mode.
R1#copy running-config startup-config
R2#copy running-config startup-config
NOTE: Save the running configuration for the next time that the router is restarted. The router can be restarted
either by a software reload command or a power shutdown. The running configuration will be lost if the running
configuration is not saved. The router uses the startup configuration when the router is started.
Step 14: Check the overall router configurations

Issue the show running-config command from the privileged EXEC mode on both routes and verify all of the
configuration commands you have entered so far. Note that this command can be abbreviated as sh run.
Step 15: Verify that the FastEthernet connection is functioning

a. Open a Command Prompt window by clicking Start > Run and typing cmd. Alternatively, you may click Start
> All programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
b. Use the ping command to test connectivity to the FastEthernet interface of each router from its
associated PC. From PC1, ping the R1 router FastEthernet interface.
R1#ping 172.16.0.1
c. From PC1, ping the R2 router FastEthernet interface.
PTCL Academy
R2#ping 172.18.0.1
d. If the answer is no for either question, troubleshoot the router configurations to find the error. Then ping the
interfaces again until the answer to both questions is yes.
Step 16: (Optional challenge) Test connectivity

a. From PC1, ping the R1 router FastEthernet interface (default gateway).
C:\>ping 172.16.0.1
a. From the PC1 command prompt, use the ping command to test end-to-end connectivity from PC1 (172.16.0.2)
to PC2 (172.18.0.2).
C:\>ping 172.18.0.2
b. The ping from PC1 to PC2 does not work because router R1 has no knowledge of the Ethernet
network on R2 and router R2 has no knowledge of the Ethernet network on R1. The pings cannot get from PC1 to
PC2; even if they could, they could not return.
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]

Lab-7: Configuring OSPF with Loopback Addresses
Objective
• Configure routers with a Class C IP addressing scheme.
• Observe the election process for designated routers (DR) and backup designated routers (BDR) on the
multiaccess network.
• Configure loopback addresses for Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) stability.
• Assign each OSPF interface a priority to force the election of a specific router as DR.
Cable a network similar to the one shown in the diagram Any router that meets the interface requirements may be
used. Possible routers include 800, 1600, 1700, 2500, 2600 routers, or a combination. The configuration output
used in this lab is produced from 1721 series routers. Any other router used may produce slightly different output.
The following steps are intended to be executed on each router unless specifically instructed otherwise.

configure the console, virtual terminal and enable passwords. Next configure the interfaces according and the IP
hostnames. If there are any problems configuring the router basics, refer to the lab “Review of Basic Router
Configuring with RIP”. Do not configure loopback interfaces and routing protocol yet.
Step 2 Save the configuration information for all the routers

Why save the running configuration to the startup configuration?
__________________________________________________________________________

networks are in area 0.
Brasilia(config)#router ospf 1
Brasilia(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
Brasilia(config-router)#end
b. Examine the Brasilia router running configuration file.
Did the IOS version automatically add any lines under router OSPF 1? ___________________
c. What did it add? __________________________________________________________
d. If there were no changes to the running configuration, type the following commands:
Brasilia(config)#router ospf 1
Brasilia(config-router)#log-adjacency-changes

a. Ping the Brasilia router from the London router. Was it successful? ___________________
b. If not troubleshoot as necessary.
Step 10 Show OSPF adjacencies

has formed adjacencies.
b. Is there a designated router identified? __________________________________________
c. Is there a backup designated router? ___________________________________________
d. Type the command show ip ospf neighbor detail for more information.
e. What is the neighbor priority of 192.168.1.1 from router Brasilia? _______________________
f. What interface is Identified as being part of Area 0? _________________________________
Step 11 Configure the loopback interfaces

Configure the loopback interface on each router to allow for an interface that will not go down due to network
change or failure. This task is performed by typing interface loopback # at the global configuration mode prompt,
where the # represents the number of the loopback interface from 0 -2,147,483,647.
London(config)#interface loopback 0
London(config-if)#ip address 192.168.31.11 255.255.255.255
Ottawa(config)#interface loopback 0
PTCL Academy
Ottawa(config-if)#ip address 192.168.31.22 255.255.255.255

b. What is the OSPF state of the interface? _________________________________________
c. What is the default priority of the interface? _______________________________________
d. What is the network type of the interface? ________________________________________
Step 15 Configure London to always be the DR

To ensure that the London router always becomes the DR for this multi-access segment, the OSPF priority must
be set. London is the most powerful router in the network and so best suited to become DR. To assign the
London loopback a higher IP address is not advised, as the numbering system has advantages for
troubleshooting. Also London is not to act as DR for all segments to which it may belong. Set the priority of the
interface to 50 on the London router only.
London(config)#interface Fastethernet 0/0
London(config-if)#ip ospf priority 50
London(config-if)#end
Display the priority for Interface fastethernet 0/0.
London#show ip ospf interface fastethernet 0/0
Step 16 Watch election process

a. To watch the OSPF election process restart all of the routers using the reload command. Be sure to save the
running config before restarting the routers. As soon as the router prompt is available type:
Ottawa>enable
Ottawa#debug ip ospf events
b. Which router was elected DR? ________________________________________________
c. Which router was elected BDR? _______________________________________________
PTCL Academy
d. Why? __________________________________________________________________
e. To turn off all debugging type undebug all.
Step 17 Show OSPF Adjacencies

a. Type the command show ip ospf neighbor on the Ottawa router to verify that the OSPF
routing has formed adjacencies.
b. What is the priority of the DR? ________________________________________________
