Command Summary
Command Description
clock rate clock-rate sets the clock rate for a Data Communications Equipment
(DCE) interface
configure terminal enters global configuration mode from privileged EXEC mode
enable enters privileged EXEC mode
end ends and exits configuration mode
hostname host-name sets the device name
interface type number changes from global configuration mode to interface
configuration mode
ip address ip-address subnet-mask assigns an IP address to an interface
ipconfig /ip ip-address subnet-mask is used in NetSim to assign an IP address and subnet mask to
a workstation interface
ipconfig /dg ip-address is used in NetSim to assign a default gateway IP address to a
workstation interface
no shutdown enables an interface
ping ip-address sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo
request to the specified address
show running-config displays the active configuration file

 The IP addresses and subnet masks used in this lab are shown in the tables below:

IP Addresses
Device Interface IP Address Subnet Mask
Router1 FastEthernet 0/0 192.168.101.1 255.255.255.0
Serial 0/0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router2 FastEthernet 0/0 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0
Serial 0/0 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

Device IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway

HostA 192.168.101.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.101.1
HostB 192.168.100.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1

Lab Tasks
1. Configure Router1 with a host name of Router1. Configure the appropriate IP addresses on the
interfaces; refer to the IP Addresses table. A DCE cable is connected to Router1. The Serial link
should have a speed of 64 kilobits per second (Kbps). Enable the interfaces.

2. Configure Router2 with a host name of Router2. Configure the appropriate IP addresses on the
interfaces; refer to the IP Addresses table. Enable the interfaces.

3. On HostA and HostB, configure the appropriate IP address and default gateway; refer to the IP
Addresses table.

4. Verify your configuration by sending a ping from each workstation to its default gateway. The pings
should be successful.

 Lab Solutions
1. On Router1, issue the following commands to configure a host name, to configure the appropriate IP
addresses on the interfaces, to configure a clock rate on the Serial 0/0 interface, and to enable the
interfaces:

Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#hostname Router1
Router1(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0
Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.101.1 255.255.255.0
Router1(config-if)#no shutdown
Router1(config-if)#interface serial 0/0
Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router1(config-if)#clock rate 64000
Router1(config-if)#no shutdown

2. On Router2, issue the following commands to configure a host name, to configure the appropriate IP
addresses on the interfaces, and to enable the interfaces:

Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#hostname Router2
Router2(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0
Router2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0
Router2(config-if)#no shutdown
Router2(config-if)#interface serial 0/0
Router2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
Router2(config-if)#no shutdown

3. On HostA and HostB, issue the following commands to configure the appropriate IP addresses and
default gateways:

On HostA:
C:>ipconfig /ip 192.168.101.2 255.255.255.0
C:>ipconfig /dg 192.168.101.1

On HostB:
C:>ipconfig /ip 192.168.100.2 255.255.255.0
C:>ipconfig /dg 192.168.100.1

4. Verify your configuration by sending a ping from each workstation to its default gateway. The pings
should be successful.

On HostA:
C:>ping 192.168.101.1

On HostB:
C:>ping 192.168.100.1
