Objectives

Part 1: S et Up Devices in the Net work as Shown in the Topology

Part 2: Initialize the R outer and Reload

Part 3: Initialize the Switch and Reload

Backgroun d / Scena rio

Before st arting a CCN A hands-on l ab that make s use of either a Cisco router or switch, ensure that the devices
in use have be en erased a nd have no startup configu rations prese nt. Otherwis e, the results of your lab may
be unpredictable. This lab provides a de tail procedure for initializin g and reloading a Cisco router and a Cisco s
witch.

Note: The routers use d with CCNA hands-on lab s are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISR s) with Cisco IOS
Release 15 .2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Cataly st 2960s wit h Cisco IOS Rele ase
15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switc hes, and Cisco IOS versio ns can be us ed.

Depending on the mod el and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary from
wha t is shown in the labs.

Required R esources

1 Rou ter (Cisco 19 41 with Cisc o IOS softwa re, Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparab le)

1 Switch (Cisco 29 60 with Cisc o IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 imag e or comparable)

2 PC s (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with termina l emulation program, such as Tera Term)

Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via th e console ports

Part 1: S et Up De vices in the Netw ork as Shown in the Topology

Step 1: Cable the net work as sh own in the topology.

Attach console cables to the devices shown in th e topology diagram.

Step 2: Power on all the devices in the


topology.

Wait for all devices to finish the software load


process before moving to Part 2.

Part 2: Initialize the Router and


Reload

Step 1: Connect to the router.

Console into the router and enter privileged


EXEC mode using the enable command.

Router> enable Router#

Step 2: Erase the startup configuration


file from NVRAM.

Type the erase startup-config command to


remove the startup configuration from nonvolatile
random-access memory (NVRAM).

Router# erase startup-config

Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove


all configuration files! Continue?
[confirm] [OK]

Erase of nvram: complete Router#

Step 3: Reload the router.

Issue the reload command to remove an old


configuration from memory. When prompted to
Proceed with reload, press Enter to confirm the
reload. Pressing any other key will abort the
reload.

Router# reload

Proceed with reload? [confirm]

*Nov 29 18:28:09.923: %SYS-5-RELOAD:


Reload requested by console. Reload
Reason: Reload Command.

Note: You may receive a prompt to save the


running configuration prior to reloading the router.
Respond by typing no and press Enter.

System configuration has been modified.


Save? [yes/no]: no

Step 4: Bypass the initial configuration


dialog.

After the router reloads, you are prompted to


enter the initial configuration dialog. Enter no and
press Enter.

Would you like to enter the initial


configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no

Step 5: Terminate the autoinstall


program.

You will be prompted to terminate the autoinstall


program. Respond yes and then press Enter.

Would you like to terminate autoinstall?


[yes]: yes

Part 3: Initialize the Switch and


Reload

Step 1: Connect to the switch.

Console into the switch and enter privileged


EXEC mode.

Step 2: Determine if there have been any


virtual local-area networks (VLANs)
created.

Use the show flash command to determine if


any VLANs have been created on the switch.

Step 3: Delete the VLAN file.

If the vlan.dat file was found in flash, then delete


this file.

Switch# delete vlan.dat

Delete filename [vlan.dat]?

You will be prompted to verify the file name. At


this point, you can change the file name or just
press Enter if you have entered the name
correctly.

When you are prompted to delete this file, press


Enter to confirm the deletion. (Pressing any other
key will abort the deletion.)

Delete flash:/vlan.dat? [confirm]


Switch#

Step 4: Erase the startup configuration


file.

Use the erase startup-config command to erase


the startup configuration file from NVRAM. When
you are prompted to remove the configuration
file, press Enter to confirm the erase. (Pressing
any other key will abort the operation.)

Switch# erase startup-config

Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove


all configuration files! Continue?
[confirm] [OK]

Erase of nvram: complete Switch#

Step 5: Reload the switch.

Reload the switch to remove any old configuration


information from memory. When you are prompted
to reload the switch, press Enter to proceed with the
reload. (Pressing any other key will abort the
reload.)

Switch# reload

Proceed with reload? [confirm]

Note: You may receive a prompt to save the


running configuration prior to reloading the
switch. Type no and press Enter.

Reflection

Why is it necessary to erase the startup


configuration before reloading the router?

_______________________________________
_______________________________________
_________

The startup configuration file is loaded into


memory and becomes the running-config after
the router reloads. Erasing this file allows the
router to return to its basic configuration after a
reload.

You find a couple configurations issues after


saving the running configuration to the startup
configuration, so you make the necessary
changes to fix those issues. If you were to reload
the device now, what configuration would be
restored to the device after the reload?

_______________________________________
_______________________________________
_________

The configuration at the time of the last save is


restored to the device after a reload. Any
changes made to the running configuration after
the last save would be lost.
