Configure a router with CLI in packet tracer

1. Open the packet tracer and select the router from the lower left-hand corner,
and drag it into the center of the window.
2. The next step is to select end devices from the bottom left-hand corner and
drag it to the window screen. Do this twice or more to make more computers
appear below the router.
3. Now select connections from the same bottom left-hand corner. When we
connect like-devices (Such as a router and computer) we use a crossover
cable.
4. Click on Router-1, and connect the cable via FastEthernet0/0 as seen below:

5. Do the same operation to PC-2, only this time connect the cable
to FastEthernet0/1 since FastEthernet0/0 is already taken by PC-1.
6. A router that is turned off doesn’t work very well! Click on your router to bring up the
configuration menu and verify that it is turned on.
7. Next we have to open the Ethernet ports to allow communication. Although
they are physically connected, they are in a state that is known as being
in administrative shut down.
8. Now click on the CLI tab to access the configuration menu.
1) Press RETURN (Enter Key) to start the session
2) Type enable to get to privileged mode (this gives you more options in
configuring the router).
3) Type configure terminal (or config t for short) to access the configuration
menu.
4) Type interface fastethernet0/0 to access Ethernet0/0
5) Type ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 to assign an IP address
and subnet mask to the interface.
6) Type no shutdown to open the interface up for next tasks.

9. Now we have to do the same thing for fastethernet0/1. If we don’t, there still
won’t be a connection to PC1! Make sure to enter the IP address carefully as
seen below:
1) Press Ctrl + Z to go back to the previous mode.
2) Type interface fastethernet0/1
3) Type ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0
4) Type no shutdown
10. At this point our router is configured properly. If you test out a ping, you will
notice that the computers still don’t communicate, however!
11. Our last step is to configure the gateway on each desktop computer. The
gateway is the address we assigned to the Ethernet port that the desktop is
connected to. It will allow the computer to interface with another network, so
our ping won’t work without it!
Click on PC-1 to bring up the configuration menu. Under global settings you
will find a field for the gateway. Enter the corresponding IP address of the
router’s interface, which is 192.168.10.1. Then click the FastEthernet tab on the
left column to set the actual computer’s IP address to be on the network.
Use 192.168.10.2 for the IP address, and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask.
12. Do the same thing for PC1, only use 192.168.20.1 for the gateway address,
192.168.20.2 for the IP address, and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask. You
can confirm that your network works by sending out a packet of information
from PC0 to PC1, and vice versa.
