d. Console back into the switch and ping the G0/1 IP address on R1. Troubleshoot your physical and logical
configurations if the pings were not successful.
Part 3: Gather Network Device Information

In Part 3, you will use a variety of commands to gather information about the devices on your network, as well
as some performance characteristics. Network documentation is a very important component of managing
your network. Documentation of both physical and logical topologies is important, as is verifying platform
models and IOS versions of your network devices. Having knowledge of the proper commands to gather this
information is essential for a network professional.
Step 1:
Gather information on R1 using IOS commands.
One of the most basic steps is to gather information on the physical device, as well as information on the
operating system.
a. Issue the appropriate command to discover the following information:
Router Model:
IOS Version:
Total RAM:
Total NVRAM:
Total Flash Memory:
IOS Image File:
Configuration Register:
Technology Package:
What command did you issue to gather the information?
b. Issue the appropriate command to display a summary of important information about the router
interfaces. Write down the command and record your results below.
Note: Only record interfaces that have IP addresses.
Page 4 of 11

c.
Issue the appropriate command to display the routing table. Write down the command and record your
results below.
d. What command would you use to display the Layer 2 to Layer 3 mapping of addresses on the router?
Write down the command and record your results below.
e. What command would you use to see detailed information about all the interfaces on the router or about a
specific interface? Write down the command below.
f.
Cisco has a very powerful protocol that operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model. This protocol can help you
map out how Cisco devices are connected physically, as well as determining model numbers and even
IOS versions and IP addressing. What command or commands would you use on router R1 to find out
information about switch S1 to help you complete the table below?
Device ID
Local
Interface
Capability
Model #
Remote
Port ID
IP Address
IOS Version
g. A very elementary test of your network devices is to see if you can telnet into them. Remember, Telnet is
not a secure protocol. It should not be enabled in most cases. Using a Telnet client, such as Tera Term or
PuTTY, try to telnet to R1 using the default gateway IP address. Record your results below.
h. From PC-A, test to ensure that SSH is working properly. Using an SSH client, such as Tera Term or
PuTTY, SSH into R1 from PC-A. If you get a warning message regarding a different key, click Continue.
Log in with the appropriate username and password you created in Part 2. Were you successful?
The various passwords configured on your router should be as strong and protected as possible.
Note: The passwords used for our lab (cisco and class) do not follow the best practices needed for
strong passwords. These passwords are used merely for the convenience of performing the labs. By
default, the console password and any vty passwords configured would display in clear text in your
configuration file.
i.
Verify that all of your passwords in the configuration file are encrypted. Write down the command and
record your results below.
Page 5 of 11

Command:
Is the console password encrypted?
Is the SSH password encrypted?
Step 2:
Gather information on S1 using IOS commands.
Many of the commands that you used on R1 can also be used with the switch. However, there are some
differences with some of the commands.
Instructor Note: Answers for all of Step 2 will vary based on Switch model, ports used and MAC addresses.
a. Issue the appropriate command to discover the following information:
Switch Model:
IOS Version:
Total NVRAM:
IOS Image File:
What command did you issue to gather the information?
b. Issue the appropriate command to display a summary of key information about the switch interfaces.
Write down the command and record your results below.
Note: Only record active interfaces.
c.
Issue the appropriate command to display the switch MAC address table. Record the dynamic type MAC
addresses only in the space below.
d. Verify that Telnet VTY access is disabled on S1. Using a Telnet client, such as Tera Term or PuTTY, try
to telnet to S1 using the 192.168.1.11 address. Record your results below.
e. From PC-A, test to ensure that SSH is working properly. Using an SSH client, such as Tera Term or
PuTTY, SSH into S1 from PC-A. If you get a warning message regarding a different key, click Continue.
Log in with an appropriate username and password. Were you successful?
f.
Complete the table below with information about router R1 using the appropriate command or commands
necessary on S1.

g. Verify that all of your passwords in the configuration file are encrypted. Write down the command and
record your results below.
Command:
Is the console password encrypted?
Step 3:
Gather information on PC-A.
Using various Windows utility commands, you will gather information on PC-A.
a. From the PC-A command prompt, issue the ipconfig /all command and record your answers below.
What is the PC-A IP address?
What is the PC-A subnet mask?
What is the PC-A default gateway address?
What is the PC-A MAC address?
b. Issue the appropriate command to test the TCP/IP protocol stack with the NIC. What command did you
use?
c.
Ping the loopback interface of R1 from the PC-A command prompt. Was the ping successful?
d. Issue the appropriate command on PC-A to trace the list of router hops for packets originating from PC-A
to the loopback interface on R1. Record the command and output below. What command did you use?
e. Issue the appropriate command on PC-A to find the Layer 2 to Layer 3 address mappings held on your
NIC. Record your answers below. Only record answers for the 192.168.1.0/24 network. What command
did you use?

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An
example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be
used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
