1. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 1 cisco router configuration basics

2. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 2 overview ärouter configuration controls the operation of the router: äinterface address and netmask ärouting information (static or dynamic) äbooting and startup information äsecurity (passwords)

3. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 3 overview äconfiguration statements have different contexts: äglobal: enable-password mysecret äinterface: interface ethernet0 ip address 195.176.118.254 255.255.255.0 router: router ospf 1 network 195.176.118.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

4. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 4 global configuration äglobal configuration statements are independent of any particular interface or routing protocol, e.g.: hostname myrouter enable-password mysecret service password-encryption logging facility local0 logging 195.176.118.42

5. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 5 global configuration äip-specific global configuration statements: ip classless ästatic route creation: ip route 195.176.118.0 255.255.248.0 195.176.31.1

6. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 6 interface configuration äinterfaces are named by type and position; e.g.: ethernet0, ethernet1,... ethernet5 serial0, serial1... serial3 äand can be abbreviated: ethernet0 or eth0 or e0 serial0 or ser0 or s0

7. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 7 interface configuration äip address and netmask configuration, using interface commands (interactive configuration example, showing prompts): router#config terminal router(config)#interface e0 router(config-if)#ip address 195.176.118.254 255.255.255.0 router(config-if)#no shutdown router(config-if)#^Z router#

8. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 8 There are two modes on a cisco router ä normal mode  router> äenable mode ärouter> enable ärouter# config terminal

9. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 9 interface configuration äadministratively enable/disable the interface router(config-if)#no shutdown router(config-if)#shutdown (config-if)# no ip proxy-arp (config-if)# no ip directed broadcast (config-if)# no ip redirect ädescription #description 128k circuit 123-ABC to hotel

10. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 10 where is the configuration? ärouter always has two configurations: ärunning configuration äin RAM, determines how the router is currently operating  is changed by using the configuration command  to see it: show running ästartup configuration äin NVRAM, determines how the router will operate after next reload  is changed using the copy command  to see it: show startup

11. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 11 where is the configuration? äcan also be stored in more permanent places: äexternal hosts, using TFTP to move it around äin flash memory in the router äcopy command is used to move it around copy run start copy run tftp copy start tftp copy tftp start copy flash start copy start flash

12. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 12 looking at the configuration  use “show running-configuration” to see the current configuration  use “show startup-configuration” to see the configuration in NVRAM, that will be loaded the next time the router is rebooted or reloaded

13. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 13 changing the configuration äconfiguration statements can be entered interactively at the console, or in a telnet session, äor, edited in a text file and uploaded to the router at a later time; äsome configuration statements, especially access lists, are very difficult to work with interactively, so editing and uploading the file is the only practical way to work; äalso allows version control and auditing changes

14. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 14 interactive configuration äcan use direct serial connection to console port, or ätelnet to vty’s (“virtual terminals”), or ämodem connection to aux port äin every case, changes are made (almost) immediately, to the running configuration

15. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 15 interactive configuration äenter configuration mode, using “configure term” äprompt gives a hint about where you are: router#configure terminal router(config)#hostname K-rtr K-rtr(config)#ip classless K-rtr(config)#ip subnet-zero K-rtr(config)#interface ethernet3 K-rtr(config-if)#ip address 195.176.118.253 255.255.255.0 K-rtr(config-if)#no shutdown use the no command to nullify command given: (config-if)# no ip addr 195.176.118.253 255.255.255.0

16. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 16 storing the configuration on a host  requires: `tftpd’ on a unix host; destination file must exist before the file is written and must be world writable... copy run tftp K-rtr#copy run tftp Remote host []? 195.176.118.42 Name of configuration file to write [K-rtr-confg]? /usr/local/tftpd/K-rtr-confg Write file /usr/local/tftpd/K-rtr-confg on... host 195.176.118.42? [confirm] Building configuration... Writing /usr/local/tftpd/K-rtr-confg !![OK]

17. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 17 restoring the configuration from a host äuse ‘tftp’ to pull file from unix host, copying to running config or startup K-rtr#copy tftp start Address of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 195.176.118.42 Name of configuration file [K-rtr-confg]? Configure using K-rtr-confg from 195.176.118.42? [confirm] Loading K-rtr-confg from 195.176.118.42 (via Ethernet0): ! [OK - 1005/128975 bytes] [OK] K-rtr# reload

18. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 18 getting help äIOS has a built-in help facility; use “?” to get a list of possible configuration statements ä“?” after the prompt lists all possible commands: router#?  “ ?” lists all possible subcommands, e.g.: router#show ? router#show ip ?

19. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 19 getting help ä“ ?” shows all possible command completions router#con? configure connect äthis is different (space before “?”): router#conf ? memory Configure from NV memory network Configure from a TFTP network host overwrite-network Overwrite NV memory from TFTP... network host terminal Configure from the terminal

20. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 20 getting help äthis also works in configuration mode: router(config)#ip a? accounting-list accounting-threshold accounting-transits address-pool alias as-path router(config)#int e0 router(config-if)#ip a? access-group accounting address

21. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 21 getting help äcan “explore” a command to figure out the syntax: router(config-if)#ip addr ? A.B.C.D IP address router(config-if)#ip addr 169.222.64.1 ? A.B.C.D IP subnet mask router(config-if)#ip addr 169.222.64.1 255.255.255.0 ? secondary Make this IP address a secondary address router(config-if)#ip addr 169.222.64.1 255.255.255.0 router(config-if)#

22. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 22 getting lazy help äTAB character will complete a partial word router(config)#int router(config)#interface et router(config)#interface ethernet 0 router(config-if)#ip add router(config-if)#ip address... 195.176.118.1 255.255.255.0 änot really necessary; partial commands can be used: router#conf t router(config)#int e0 router(config-if)#ip addr 195.176...

23. cisco router configuration NTW2000 / track 2 # 23 getting lazy äcommand history äIOS maintains short list of previously typed commands  up-arrow or ‘ ^P ’ recalls previous command  down-arrow or ‘^N’ recalls next command äline editing äleft-arrow, right-arrow moves cursor inside command  ‘^D’ or backspace will delete character in front of cursor
