This Presentation
 We will accompany this presentation with the
instructor demonstrating these commands on the
router.
 The lab assignment this will be your first experience
with hands-on router configuration.
 Do this lab several times until you feel very
comfortable with the commands and the user
interface.
 Be sure to review my “8 Steps to Success” which is a
Semester 2 command summary.
– I strongly suggest creating your own command summary
which you will be able to use (2 pages) for the skills-based.
– Creating your command summary will greatly increase your
knowledge of the commands and your success on the skills-
based assessment.

Connecting to the Router
 Initial router configuration can be done from a terminal or a computer
(PC) running a terminal emulator.
 When using a PC with a terminal emulator, the terminal emulation
program (I.e. HyperTerminal) is functioning only as a “dumb” terminal.
 If you are using a PC with a terminal emulator, you are not using the
TCP/IP or Ethernet – your terminal emulator is functioning as if you
were using a “dumb” terminal connected to the router. 3
Configuring the Router

Terminal Emulator - HyperTerminal


 We will be using a terminal emulator call HyperTerminal from Hilgraeve
Software (www.hilgraeve.com/index.html) and comes with Windows.
 Name: The name does not matter.

4
HyperTerminal (continued)
 Connect using: This will be whichever serial port you are connected
to on your PC. In the lab, we will be using Com2.
 Port Settings: Be sure it is configured as: bps = 9600, data bits = 8,
parity = None, stop bits = 1, flow control = None
– This is critical, as this is how the router is configured and is
expecting the same settings on the “terminal” or communications 5
will be garbled or not occur at all.
<Router Output>

HyperTerminal (Continued)
 Now you are ready to start entering commands.
 Troubleshooting:
 If you are not seeing any output on the screen:
– Is the router powered on?
– Press <return>, the router’s output may have already gone to the
screen before HyperTerm was started.
– Are the port settings and port selection correct?
– Are you connected in the proper serial port?
 If you are not seeing garbled characters: 6
– Check your port settings.

<rest of output omitted>

First Output – What should you see?


 I suggest starting HyperTerminal before turning on the router.
 Then, when you turn on the router you will see all of the startup
information as the router boots-up.
 It may take a minute to get this first output after turning on the router,
so be patient.
7
 If you are not seeing anything, be sure to hit return.
Would you like to enter the initial configuration
dialog? [yes]: no
Would you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes]: yes
Note: You may or may not get this second question.

Router>

First Output – First Input


 If the router’s startup-config file was erased (and it should be for our lab
purposes so students start with an unconfigured router), you should
eventually see the message above.
 You will answer no or n to the first question.
 If you get the second question (you may not, depending upon router 8
model and the version of the IOS), answer yes or y.
Output from startup…

<press Return>
Router>

The Router Prompt – Router>


 During the bootup, there is a lot of output to the screen.
 The router prompt, “Router>”, may even get lost in this output.
 So, after a the output to the screen ends, if you do not see the router
prompt, press the <Enter> key a few times.
9
Logging on the Router

Commands
 Note: Until you configure a password, you will not see the “User
Access Verification” message or the “Password:” prompt.
 Router> enable
 Router# disable
 10
Router> exit
Command List

Commands
 Router> ? (user mode command list)
 Router# ? (privilege mode command list)
 -- More – <space bar> – next screen
 -- More – <return> – next line
 -- More – <any key> – back to prompt 11
Command List

Commands
 Router> show ?
 Router# show ip ?
 Don’t worry about the number of these commands, most network
administrators are only familiar with the ones necessary to configure
their routers.
 The Cisco IOS includes the processes and functions necessary to run a 12
wide variety of protocols over many different type of connections.
Command List

Commands
 Router> ena
 Notice that the enable command has been abbreviated to ena.
 Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System) commands and parameters
following the command, may be abbreviated up to the point where they
are still uniquely recognizable by the IOS.
 I suggest typing out the entire command until you become familiar with
it.
13
 The <tab> key can be used to complete a command or parameter.
Help Function

Commands
 Notice that you do not have to re-type the command and any
parameters if you used the “?” and pressed enter.
 Rely on the ?, everyone does, including CCIE’s!
 The commands you see after the ?, help function, depends upon user
or privilege mode, and which specific configuration mode (coming
soon). 14
Using IOS Editing Functions

Editing Commands
 Knowing the “hot-keys” are useful for two things:
1. When you are using a terminal which does not have arrow-keys.
2. When you are taking the current version of the CCNA exam, CCNA
2.0.
 Good “short-term” memory studying, just before you take the CCNA
exam.
 On HyperTerm you can use the left and right arrow, backspace, delete,
home and end keys. 15
Using IOS Command History

More IOS History Command


 These are more good “short-term” memory commands.
 On HyperTerm you can use the up and down arrow keys.

16
Router# erase startup-config
Router#
We have not yet discussed this command, so
for now do not worry about it.

Shutting down the Router


 For now, you can just power-off the router.
 Since we have not saved any configuration changes we might have
made (we haven’t made any yet), there is no need to erase the startup-
config.
 We will discuss how to save and erase the configuration file later. 17

software

Com1 or Com2 serial port


Just a Terminal…
 Remember, you are not connected via the PC’s NIC – so you cannot communicate
between the router and your computer using TCP/IP.
 This can be confusing for many students, as they open up a separate DOS Window
and expect to be able to ping the router (after it has been configured), because they
have a connection from the com port on the PC to the Console port on the router.
 This connection is only for “terminal” connectivity.
 If the router and the PC are connected via a Cat5 cable between the PC’s NIC card, a
hub/switch, and the router’s Ethernet interface, then TCP/IP commands such as ping 18
can be used. – Similar to two hosts connecting via a hub or switch (later).
