Public. Page 2 of 5 Background In this activity, you will use various show commands to
display the current state of the router. You will then use the Addressing Table to
configure router Ethernet interfaces. Finally, you will use commands to verify and test
your configurations. Note: The routers in this activity are partially configured. Some of
the configurations are not covered in this course, but are provided to assist you in using
verification commands. Part 1: Display Router Information Step 1: Display interface
information on R1. Note: Click a device and then click the CLI tab to access the
command line directly. The console password is cisco. The privileged EXEC password
is class. a. Which command displays the statistics for all interfaces configured on a
router? Show interfaces b. Which command displays the information about the Serial
0/0/0 interface only? Show interface serial 0/0/0 c. Enter the command to display the
statistics for the Serial 0/0/0 interface on R1 and answer the following questions: 1)
What is the IP address configured on R1? Serial10/0/0 is up, line protocol is up
internet address is 209.165.200.225/30 2) What is the bandwidth on the Serial 0/0/0
interface? Serial10/0/0 is up, line protocol is up hardware is HD64570 internet
address is 209.165.200.225/30 MTU 1500 Kbit/sec, DLY 20000 usec. d. Enter the
command to display the statistics for the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface and answer the
following questions: 1) What is the IP address on R1? the IP address on R1 for the
GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface is 192.168.10.1. 2) What is the MAC address of the
GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface? Show interfaces gigabitethernet 0/0. 3) What is the
bandwidth on the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface? the bandwidth of the
GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface is 1000000 Kbit/sec (1 Gbps) Step 2: Display a
summary list of the interfaces on R1. a. Which command displays a brief summary of
the current interfaces, statuses, and IP addresses assigned to them? Show ip interfaces
brief Running this command will provide an overview of the interfaces on the
router, their operational status, IP addresses, and additional information such as
protocol status, MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit), and method of assignment
(e.g., DHCP or manual). b. Enter the command on each router and answer the
following questions: 1) How many serial interfaces are there on R1 and R2? there are 2
serial interfaces on both R1 and R2. 2) How many Ethernet interfaces are there on R1
and R2? there are 2 Ethernet interfaces on R1 and 3 Ethernet interfaces on R2. 3)
Are all the Ethernet interfaces on R1 the same? If no, explain the difference(s).
If all the ethernet interfaces on R1 have the same IP address or idf they are all
listed as”unssaigned,” the they can be consider the same. However, if the IP
address are different, then the ethernet interfaces on R1 are not the same.
Step 3: Display the routing table on R1. a. What command displays the content of the
routing table? Show ip route. b. Enter the command on R1 and answer the following
questions: 1) How many connected routes are there (uses the C code)?
In this example, there are two connected routes on R1.
Please run the show ip route connected command on R1 to determine the number
of connected routes in your specific case.

To determine which route is listed in the document, we need to refer to the
information provided in the routing table section. Unfortunately, the specific
routing table entries are not mentioned in the document you provided.
To identify the listed route, you would need to run the command show ip route on
the respective router mentioned in the document (R1 in this case). The output of
that command will display the routing table entries, including the routes and their
details.
Without the actual output of the show ip route command or further information, it
is not possible to determine which route is listed in the document.
2) How does a router handle a packet destined for a network that is not listed in the
routing table?
When a router receives a packet destined for a network that is not listed in its
routing table, it follows a default behavior known as "destination network
unreachable." The router examines the destination IP address of the packet and
checks its routing table for a matching entry.
If the router does not find a specific route for the destination network, nor a
default route (a route that matches all unspecified destinations), it concludes that
the network is unreachable. In this case, the router generates an ICMP (Internet
Control Message Protocol) "Destination Network Unreachable" message and
sends it back to the source host. This ICMP message serves as an indication to the
source host that the destination network is not reachable.
Part 2: Configure Router Interfaces Step 1: Configure the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface
on R1. a. Enter the following commands to address and activate the GigabitEthernet 0/0
interface on R1: R1(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0 R1(config-if)# ip address
192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# no shutdown %LINK-5-CHANGED:
Interface GigabitEthernet0/0, changed state to up %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line
protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/0, changed state to up b. It is good practice to
configure a description for each interface to help document the network information.
Configure an interface description indicating to which device it is connected. R1(config-
if)# description LAN connection to S1 c. R1 should now be able to ping PC1.
R1(config-if)# end %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console R1# ping
192.168.10.10 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to
192.168.10.10, timeout is 2 seconds: .!!!! Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip
min/avg/max = 0/2/8 ms Step 2: Configure the remaining Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces on
R1 and R2. a. Use the information in the Addressing Table to finish the interface
configurations for R1 and R2. For each interface, do the following: 1) Enter the IP
address and activate the interface. 2) Configure an appropriate description. b. Verify
interface configurations. Step 3: Back up the configurations to NVRAM. Save the
configuration files on both routers to NVRAM. What command did you use? On R1 :
R!# copy running-config startup-config On R2 : R2# copy running-config startup-
config. Packet Tracer - Connect a Router to a LAN © 2023 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Configuration Step 1: Use verification commands to check your interface
configurations. a. Use the show ip interface brief command on both R1 and R2 to
quickly verify that the interfaces are configured with the correct IP address and active.
How many interfaces on R1 and R2 are configured with IP addresses and in the “up”
and “up” state?
You need to count the number of interfaces that have both the "up" and "up"
status, indicating that they are operational and connected.
What part of the interface configuration is NOT displayed in the command output? The
command "show ip interface brief" displays a summary of the interface
configurations, including the IP addresses, status, and protocol information.
However, it does not display the detailed configuration parameters of each
interface.
The command output does not include information such as subnet masks,
descriptions, bandwidth settings, administrative status (enabled/disabled), media
type, duplex settings, or any other specific configuration details beyond the IP
address, status, and protocol status. To view the complete configuration of a
specific interface, you would need to use other commands such as "show running-
config interface <interface>" or "show interface <interface>."
What commands can you use to verify this part of the configuration?
1. "show running-config interface <interface>": This command displays the
running configuration of a specific interface, including all the configuration
parameters such as IP address, subnet mask, description, administrative
status, bandwidth settings, media type, duplex settings, and other relevant
configuration details.
2. "show interface <interface>": This command provides detailed information
about the specified interface, including its current operational status,
hardware and software status, input/output statistics, error counters,
duplex settings, speed, MAC address, and other interface-specific details.
b. Use the show ip route command on both R1 and R2 to view the current routing tables
and answer the following questions: 1) How many connected routes (uses the C code)
do you see on each router? 2 connected route on both. 2) How many EIGRP routes
(uses the D code) do you see on each router? There are 5 EIGRP route displayed 3)
If the router knows all the routes in the network, then the number of connected routes
and dynamically learned routes (EIGRP) should equal the total number of LANs and
WANs. How many LANs and WANs are in the topology?
there are two LANs and one WAN in the topology. LAN1 and LAN2 represent
local area networks, while WAN1 represents a wide area network connection
between R1 and R2.
4) Does this number match the number of C and D routes shown in the routing table?
Yes the numbers it’s match the number of C and DNote: If your answer is “no”, then
you are missing a required configuration. Review the steps in Part 2. Step 2: Test end-
to-end connectivity across the network. You should now be able to ping from any PC to
any other PC on the network. In addition, you should be able to ping the active
interfaces on the routers. For example, the following should tests should be successful: 
From the command line on PC1, ping PC4.  From the command line on R2, ping PC2.
Note: For simplicity in this activity, the switches are not configured; you will not be
able to ping them. Packet Tracer - Connect a Router to a LAN © 2023 Cisco and/or its
