Configuring a Router Name

A router should be given a unique name as one


of the first configuration tasks. This task is
accomplished in global configuration mode
using the following commands:
Router(config)#hostname Tokyo
Tokyo(config)#

Configuring Router Passwords

The service password-


encryption command
applies a weak encryption
to all unencrypted
passwords.

Examining the show Commands

• There are many show commands that you


can use to examine the contents of files in the
router and for troubleshooting.
• In both privileged EXEC and user EXEC
modes, the command show ? provides a
list of available show commands.

Examining the show Commands
Continued

• show interfaces – Displays all the statistics for all the


interfaces on the router
• show clock – Shows the time set in the router
• show hosts – Displays a cached list of host names and
addresses
• show users – Displays all users who are connected to
the router
• show history – Displays a history of commands that
have been entered
• show flash – Displays information about flash memory
and what IOS files are stored there

Examining the show Commands
Continued

• show version – Displays information about the router


and the IOS that is running in RAM
• show ARP – Displays the ARP table of the router
• show protocol – Displays the global and interface
specific status of any configured Layer 3 protocols
• show startup-configuration – Displays the
saved configuration located in NVRAM
• show running-configuration – Displays the
configuration currently running in RAM

Configuring an Ethernet Interface

To configure an Ethernet interface follow these steps:


• Enter global configuration mode.
• Enter interface configuration mode.
• Specify the interface address and subnet mask.
• Enable the interface.

Configuring an Serial Interface
To configure an Ethernet interface follow these
steps:
• Enter global configuration mode.
• Enter interface configuration mode.
• Specify the interface address and subnet
mask.
• Set clock rate if a DCE cable is connected.
Skip this step if a DTE cable is connected.
• Enable the interface.

Configuring Interface Descriptions

• An interface description should be used to identify important


information such as a distant router, a circuit number, or a
specific network segment.
• A description of an interface can help a network user
remember specific information about the interface, such as
what network the interface services.

Login Banners

© 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 16


Login Banners (MOTD)
• A login banner is a message that is displayed at login.
• Login banners can be used to convey messages that
affect all network users, such as scheduled system
shutdowns.
• Login banners can be seen by anyone.
• “Welcome” is an invitation for anyone to enter a router
and is probably not an appropriate message.
• A login banner should warn users not to attempt login
unless they are authorized.
• A message such as “This is a secure system,
authorized access only!” informs unwanted visitors that
any further intrusion is illegal.

Configuring Message-of-the-Day
(MOTD)

• Enter global configuration mode to configure a message-


of-the-day (MOTD) banner.
• Use the banner motd command, followed by a space
and a delimiting character, such as the pound sign (#).
Add a message-of-the-day (MOTD) followed by a space
and the delimiting character again

Host Name Resolutions

• Host name resolution is the process that a


computer system uses to associate a host
name with an IP address.
• Host names, unlike DNS names, are
significant only on the router on which they
are configured.
