Configuring a Router from the Command Line Interface (CLI) in Cisco Packet
Tracer

In Cisco Packet Tracer, you can configure routers through the CLI. The following steps will
guide you in setting up a router, creating a second network, and building a WAN between two
LANs.

Step 1: Configuring a Router from the CLI in Cisco Packet Tracer

1. Add a Router

 In Cisco Packet Tracer, drag and drop a router onto the workspace.
 Right-click on the router and select CLI to open the Command Line Interface.

2. Access the Router’s CLI

 You’ll start in User EXEC Mode (indicated by the > prompt).


 Enter Privileged EXEC Mode by typing:

shell
Copy code
Router> enable
Router#

3. Configure Router Hostname

 Enter Global Configuration Mode:

arduino
Copy code
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#

 Set the router's hostname:

scss
Copy code
Router(config)# hostname R1
R1(config)#

4. Configure Interfaces
 Configure the GigabitEthernet interface for LAN connectivity:

arduino
Copy code
R1(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/0
R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# exit

 Configure the Serial interface for WAN connectivity:

arduino
Copy code
R1(config)# interface serial 0/0/0
R1(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.252
R1(config-if)# clock rate 64000
R1(config-if)# no shutdown

5. Save Configuration

 To save the configuration so it persists after a reboot:

lua
Copy code
R1# copy running-config startup-config

6. Verify Configuration

 Use these commands to verify the interfaces and routing:

sql
Copy code
R1# show ip interface brief
R1# show running-config

Step 2: Create a Second Network in Cisco Packet Tracer

Now we will create another network with a second router, which will later connect to the first
network via a WAN.

1. Add Second Router (R2)

 Drag and drop another router onto the workspace.


 Open the CLI for Router 2 (R2).

2. Configure R2

 Enter Privileged EXEC Mode:


shell
Copy code
Router> enable
Router#

 Set a hostname for the router:

arduino
Copy code
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# hostname R2

 Configure the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface for the second LAN:

arduino
Copy code
R2(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/0
R2(config-if)# ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
R2(config-if)# no shutdown
R2(config-if)# exit

3. Configure WAN Interface on R2

 Configure the Serial 0/0/0 interface to connect to R1:

arduino
Copy code
R2(config)# interface serial 0/0/0
R2(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.252
R2(config-if)# no shutdown

4. Save the Configuration on R2

 Don’t forget to save the configuration:

lua
Copy code
R2# copy running-config startup-config

Step 3: Building a WAN Between Two LANs

Now that both routers are configured with their respective LAN and WAN interfaces, we will
build a WAN to connect these two LANs.

Network Setup Overview:

 Router 1 (R1) LAN: 192.168.1.0/24


o Interface: GigabitEthernet 0/0 (IP: 192.168.1.1)
 Router 2 (R2) LAN: 192.168.2.0/24
oInterface: GigabitEthernet 0/0 (IP: 192.168.2.1)
 WAN Link:
o R1 Serial 0/0/0 (IP: 10.0.0.1)
o R2 Serial 0/0/0 (IP: 10.0.0.2)

1. Connect the Routers

 Use a Serial DCE Cable to connect Serial 0/0/0 on R1 to Serial 0/0/0 on R2.

2. Enable Routing Protocol (RIP) on R1 and R2

 We will use RIP (Routing Information Protocol) to share routing information between
the routers.
 On R1:

arduino
Copy code
R1(config)# router rip
R1(config-router)# version 2
R1(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0
R1(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0
R1(config-router)# exit

 On R2:

arduino
Copy code
R2(config)# router rip
R2(config-router)# version 2
R2(config-router)# network 192.168.2.0
R2(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0
R2(config-router)# exit

3. Verify Connectivity

 Use the ping command to check the connectivity between the two networks.
 From a PC in LAN 1 (192.168.1.2), ping a PC in LAN 2 (192.168.2.2):

shell
Copy code
PC1> ping 192.168.2.2

 If the routing is properly set up, you should get a successful reply.

Diagram: Building a WAN Between Two LANs

1. Network Diagram:
oTwo routers (R1 and R2) connected via a Serial DCE Cable to form a WAN.
oEach router connects to its own LAN via GigabitEthernet interfaces.
2. Router CLI Configuration:
o Router 1 (R1) and Router 2 (R2) CLI views where IP addresses and routing
protocols (RIP) are configured.

Summary of Key Steps:

1. Configure routers from the CLI in Packet Tracer, setting up interfaces for LAN and
WAN.
2. Build a second network with another router (R2).
3. Connect the two LANs using a WAN link between the routers.
4. Enable dynamic routing (RIP) or configure static routes to ensure connectivity between
the two networks.
5. Verify connectivity by pinging devices in the opposite LAN.

By following these steps, you will be able to configure routers in Cisco Packet Tracer and
establish communication between two separate LANs using a WAN connection.
