CSCI342 - Command Set Required for the Skills Exam

For Routers:

1. Change the device Name:


Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# hostname xxxxx (where xxxxx is the Router’s Name)

2. Enable password: Limits access to the privileged EXEC mode.


R1(config)# enable password xxxxx (where xxxxx is the Enable ’s Password)

3. Enable Secret password: Encrypted, limits access to the privileged EXEC mode. It is same
as enable password but this password is encrypted using MD5 encryption hash algorithm.
R1(config)# enable secret xxxxx (where xxxxx is the Enable Secret’s Password)

4. Setup Banner Messages: Banners can be an important part of the legal process in the event
that someone is prosecuted for breaking into a device.
R1(config)# banner motd #Unauthorized access to this device is prohibited!#

5. Setup Console password: Limits device access using the console connection.
R1(config)# Line con 0
R1(config-line)# password xxxxx (where xxxxx is the Console line’s Password)
R1(config-line)# login
R1(config-line)# exit

6. Setup VTY password: Limits device access using Telnet


R1(config)# line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)# password xxxxx (where xxxxx is the vty line’s Password)
R1(config-line)# login
R1(config-line)# exit

7. Configuring Interfaces: Each interface must have an IP address and subnet mask to route
IP packets
R1(config)# int G0/1
R1(config-if)# ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
R1(config-if)# description XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
R1(config-if)# no shut
R1(config-if)# exit

R1(config)# int G0/2


R1(config-if)# ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
R1(config-if)# description XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
R1(config-if)# no shut
R1(config-if)# exit

8. Encrypt Plain Text Passwords: Prevent all passwords from being viewed in clear text in
device configuration files.
R1(config)# service password-encryption
R1(config)# exit

9. Saving the Configuration: Saving the running configuration to the startup configuration in
NVRAM preserves the changes as the new startup configuration. To save your
configuration changes in the router, write:
R1#copy running-config startup-config

For Switches:

1. Change the device Name:


Switch> enable
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# hostname xxxxx (where xxxxx is the Switch’s Name)

2. Enable Secret password: Encrypted, limits access to the privileged EXEC mode. It is same
as enable password but this password is encrypted using MD5 encryption hash algorithm.
S1(config)# enable secret xxxxx (where xxxxx is the Secret’s Password)

3. Setup Console password: Limits device access using the console connection.
S1(config)# line con 0
S1(config-line)# password xxxxx (where xxxxx is the Console line’s Password)
S1(config-line)# login
S1(config-line)# exit

4. Configuring a Switch Virtual Interface:


S1(config)# int vlan1
S1(config-if)# ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
S1(config-if)# no shut
S1(config-if)# exit

5. Configuring a Default Gateway:


S1(config)# ip default-gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx – which is the router’s gateway address

6. Setup VTY password: Limits device access using Telnet


S1(config)# line vty 0 15
S1(config-line)# password xxxxx (where xxxxx is the vty line’s Password)
S1(config-line)# login
S1(config-line)# exit

7. Saving the Configuration: Saving the running configuration to the startup configuration in
NVRAM preserves the changes as the new startup configuration. To save your
configuration changes in the switch, write:
S1#copy running-config startup-config

For PCs:

1. Statically assign ipv4 addresses

Testing:

1. All PCs can ping all other PCs using ipv4 addresses (C:\>ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
2. All PC can telnet to the switches using ipv4 addresses (C:\>telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
