Packet Tracer – Configure Initial Router Settings
Step 2:
Configure and Verify the Initial Router
Configuration
b.
What is the router’s hostname?
Router
How many Fast Ethernet interfaces does the Router have?
4
How many Gigabit Ethernet interfaces does the Router have?
2
How many Serial interfaces does the router have?
2
What is the range of values shown for the vty lines?
0 – 4
c.
Why does the router respond with the startup-config is not present
message?
It displays this message because the configuration file was not saved to
NVRAM. Currently it is only located in RAM.
Step 2: Verify the initial settings on R1.
a.
What command do you use?
show running-config.
C.
Why should every router have a message-of-the-day (MOTD) banner?
Every router should have a banner to warn unauthorized users that access is
prohibited. MOTD Banners can also be used to send messages to network
personnel (such as impending system shutdowns or who to contact for
access).
If you are not prompted for a password before reaching the user EXEC prompt, what
console line command did you forget to configure?
R1(config-line)#login
d.
Enter the passwords necessary to return to privileged EXEC mode.
Why would the enable secret password allow access to the privileged EXEC
mode and the enable password no longer be valid?
The enable secret password overrides the enable password. If both are
configured on the router, you must enter the enable secret password to
enter privileged EXEC mode.
If you configure any more passwords on the router, are they displayed in the
configuration file as plain text or in encrypted form? Explain.
The service password-encryption command encrypts all current and
future passwords.
Part 3: Save the Running Configuration File
Step 1: Save the configuration file to NVRAM.
a.
You have configured the initial settings for R1. 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.
What command did you enter to save the configuration to NVRAM?
copy running-config startup-config
What is the shortest, unambiguous version of this command?
cop r st
Which command displays the contents of the NVRAM?
show startup-configuration or show start
Step 2: Optional: Save the startup
configuration file to flash.
a.
Examine the contents of flash using the show flash command:
R1# show flash
How many files are currently stored in flash?
3
Which of these files would you guess is the IOS image?
c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M4.bin
Why do you think this file is the IOS image?
Answers may vary, but two clues are the file length compared to the
others and the .bin at the end of the file name.
