Lab 5

The document provides instructions for configuring the Ethernet and serial interfaces on a Cisco router, including assigning IP addresses, enabling the interfaces, and verifying connectivity. It outlines steps to configure the FastEthernet interface connected to a customer switch and the Serial interface connected to an ISP router, and provides commands to verify the configurations are working properly. Completing the configuration involves entering global and interface configuration modes, assigning IP addresses and descriptions, enabling the interfaces, and saving the running configuration.

4: Configuring Ethernet and Serial Interfaces


Objectives

 Configure a LAN Ethernet interface.


 Configure a WAN serial interface.
 Verify the interface configurations.

Background / Preparation

In this activity, you will configure the LAN Ethernet interface and the WAN serial
interface on the Customer Cisco 1841 router.

Step 1: Configure the LAN Ethernet interface.

a. Use the terminal emulation software on the Customer PC to connect to the


Cisco 1841 Customer Router. Enter cisco for the console password.

b. Enter privileged EXEC mode using cisco123 for the privileged EXEC
password. The CustomerRouter# prompt indicates that you are in
privileged EXEC mode.

c. Enter global configuration mode. The CustomerRouter(config)# prompt


indicates that you are in global configuration mode.
d. Identify which LAN interface to configure with an IP address. To configure
the FastEthernet interface, use this command.
e.
f. CustomerRouter(config)#interface FastEthernet 0/0
g.
h. Add a description to the interface.
i.
j. CustomerRouter(config-if)#description Connected to CustomerSwitch
k.
l. Specify the IP address and subnet mask for the interface.
m.
n. CustomerRouter(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
o.
p. Ensure that the interface is enabled.
q.
r. CustomerRouter(config-if)#no shutdown
s.
t. Exit interface configuration mode.
u.
v. CustomerRouter(config-if)#end
w.

Step 2: Verify the LAN interface configuration.

Use the show ip route command to verify your configuration. This is a partial
example of the output.

CustomerRouter#show ip route

<output omitted>

Gateway of last resort is not set

C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0

Step 3: Configure the WAN serial interface.

Refer to the diagram in the Packet Tracer workspace area and the commands used
in Step 1 to configure the WAN serial interface on Customer Router.

Tip: Remember the Cisco IOS CLI Help commands to configure the interface.

a. Enter global configuration mode.

b. Identify the serial interface to configure.

c. Describe the interface. (Connected to ISP)

d. Specify the interface IP address and subnet mask. (209.165.200.225


255.255.255.224)
e. Ensure that the interface is enabled.

f. End interface configuration mode.

Step 4: Verify the interface configurations.

a. Use the show run command to verify your configuration. This is a partial
example of the output.
b.
c. CustomerRouter#show run
d. <output omitted>
e. !
f. interface FastEthernet0/0
g. description Connected to CustomerSwitch
h. ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
i. duplex auto
j. speed auto
k. !
l. interface FastEthernet0/1
m. no ip address
n. duplex auto
o. speed auto
p. shutdown
q. !
r. interface Serial0/1/0
s. description Connected to ISP
t. ip address 209.165.200.225 255.255.255.224
u. !
v.
w. Use the ping command to verify connectivity to the WAN interface on the
ISP router. This is a partial example of the output.
x.
y. CustomerRouter#ping 209.165.200.226
z.
aa. Type escape sequence to abort.
bb. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 209.165.200.226, timeout is 2
seconds:
cc. !!!!!
dd. Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max =
35/37/47 ms
ee.
ff. Use the ping command to verify connectivity to the customer switch. This is
a partial example of the output:
gg.
hh. CustomerRouter#ping 192.168.1.1
ii.
jj. Type escape sequence to abort.
kk. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.1, timeout is 2
seconds:
ll. !!!!!
mm. Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0/5/12
ms
nn.

Step 5: Save the configuration.


a. In privileged EXEC mode, save the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
b.
c. CustomerRouter#copy run start
d.
e. Click the Check Results button at the bottom of this instruction window to
check your work.

Reflection

a. When you ping the LAN IP address of the ISP router, what happens and
why?

b. Which Cisco ISO CLI mode do you need to be in to configure the


description of an interface?

o CustomerRouter#
o CustomerRouter>
o CustomerRouter(config)#
o CustomerRouter(config-if)#

c. After completing Step 4, what would happen if you rebooted the router
before completing Step 5?
