Background / Scenario
This activity requires you to configure the R2 router using the settings from the Addressing Table and the
specifications listed. The R1 router and the devices connected to it have been configured. This is a
comprehensive review of previously covered IOS router commands. In Part 1, you will complete basic
configurations and interface settings on the router. In Part 2, you will use SSH to connect to the router
remotely and utilize the IOS commands to retrieve information from the device to answer questions about the
router. For review purposes, this lab provides the commands necessary for specific router configurations.

Instructions
Part 1: Configure Devices and Verify Connectivity
Step 1: Configure the PC interfaces.
a. Configure the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on PC3 as listed in the Addressing Table.
b. Configure the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on PC4 as listed in the Addressing Table.
Step 2: Configure the router.
Open configuration window

a. On the R2 router, open a terminal. Move to privileged EXEC mode.

router> enable
b. Enter configuration mode.
router# configure terminal
c. Assign a device name of R2 to the router.
router(config)# hostname R2
d. Configure c1sco1234 as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password.
R2(config)#enable secret c1sco1234
e. Set the domain name of the router to ccna-lab.com.
R2(config)# ip domain-name ccna-lab.com
f. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered commands as
though they were host names.
R2(config)# no ip domain lookup
g. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.
R2(config)# service password-encryption
h. Configure the username SSHadmin with an encrypted password of 55Hadm!n.
R2(config)# username SSHadmin secret 55Hadm!n
i. Generate a set of crypto keys with a 1024 bit modulus.

Packet Tracer - Basic Router Configuration Review

R2(config)# crypto key generate rsa

j. Assign cisco as the console password, configure sessions to disconnect after six minutes of inactivity,
and enable login. To prevent console messages from interrupting commands, use the logging
synchronous command.
R2(config)# line console 0
R2(config-line)# password cisco
R2(config-line)# logging synchronous
R2(config-line)# exec-timeout 6 0
R2(config-line)# login
k. Assign cisco as the vty password, configure the vty lines to accept SSH connections only, configure
sessions to disconnect after six minutes of inactivity, and enable login using the local database.
R2(config)# line vty 0 4
R2(config-line)# password cisco
R2(config-line)# exec-timeout 6 0
R2(config-line)# transport input ssh
R2(config-line)# login local
l. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is prohibited.
R2(config)# banner motd $ WARNING Authorized Users Only! $
m. Enable IPv6 Routing.
R2(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
n. Configure all four interfaces on the router with the IPv4 and IPv6 addressing information from the
addressing table above. Configure all four interfaces with descriptions. Activate all four interfaces.
R2(config)# interface g0/0/0
R2(config-if)# description Connection to S3
R2(config-if)# ip address 10.0.4.1 255.255.255.0

R2(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:feed:224::1/64

R2(config-if)# no shutdown
o. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.
R2# copy running-config startup-config
Close configuration window

Step 3: Verify network connectivity.

a. Using the command line at PC3, ping the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for PC4.
Question:

Were the pings successful?

Type your answers here.
Yes
b. From the CLI on R2 ping the S0/1/1 address of R1 for both IPv4 and IPv6. The addresses assigned to the
S0/1/1 interface on R1 are:
IPv4 address = 10.0.3.1
IPv6 address = 2001:db8:acad:3::1
Question:

Were the pings successful?

Type your answers here.
Yes
From the command line of PC3 ping the ISP address 209.165.200.226.
Question:

Were the pings successful?

Type your answers here.
Yes, the PC is using the default gateway router to forward the traffic.
From PC3 attempt to ping an address on the ISP for testing, 64.100.1.1.
Question:

Were the pings successful?

Type your answers here.
No, routing has not been configured on the router so only local connected networks are
accessible. No default route is set on router R2.
c. From the command line of PC3 open an SSH session to the R2 G0/0/0 IPv4 address and log in as
SSHadmin with the password 55Hadm!n.
C:\> ssh -l SSHadmin 10.0.4.1

Password:
Question:

Was remote access successful?

Type your answers here.
Yes

Part 2: Display Router Information

In Part 2, you will use show commands from an SSH session to retrieve information from the router.

Step 1: Establish an SSH session to R2.

From the command line of PC3 open an SSH session to the R2 G0/0/0 IPv6 address and log in as
SSHadmin with the password 55Hadm!n.

Step 2: Retrieve important hardware and software information.

Open configuration window

a. Use the show version command to answer questions about the router.

Packet Tracer - Basic Router Configuration Review

Type your answers here.

3223551K bytes of flash memory.
b. The show commands often provide multiple screens of outputs. Filtering the output allows a user to
display certain sections of the output. To enable the filtering command, enter a pipe (|) character after a
show command, followed by a filtering parameter and a filtering expression. You can match the output to
the filtering statement by using the include keyword to display all lines from the output that contain the
filtering expression. Filter the show version command, using show version | include register to answer
the following question.
R2# show version | include register
Configuration register is 0x2102
Question:

What is the boot process for the router on the next reload?
Type your answers here.
Answers may vary. In most cases (0x2102), the router will undergo a normal boot, load the IOS
from the Flash memory, and load the startup configuration from the NVRAM if present. If the
config register is 0x2142, the router will bypass the startup config and begin at the user-mode
command prompt. If the initial boot fails, the router goes into ROMMON mode.

Step 3: Display the running configuration.

Use the show running-config command on the router to answer the following questions filtering for lines
containing the word “password”.
R2# show running-config | include password
service password-encryption
password 7 0822455D0A16
password 7 0822455D0A16
Question:

How are passwords presented in the output?

Type your answers here.
Passwords are encrypted due to the service password-encryption command.
Use the show running-config | begin vty command.
R2# show running-config | begin vty
line vty 0 4
exec-timeout 6 0
password 7 0822455D0A16
login local
transport input ssh
Question:

What is the result of using this command?

Type your answers here.
A user receives the running configuration output beginning with the line that includes the first
instance of the filtering expression.
Note: A more specific command would be show running-config | section vty; however, the current
version of Packet Tracer does not support the section filtering command.

Step 4: Display the routing table on the router.

Use the show ip route command on the router to answer the following questions.
R2# show ip route
