Computer Networks Lab: Lab No. 5 Router Administrative Functions

This document describes a lab experiment on router administrative functions. The objectives are to learn how to change a router's hostname and passwords, set the system clock, and add and configure a port. The procedures demonstrate how to configure these settings using Cisco IOS commands in both privileged EXEC and configuration modes, and how to view the configurations and save them to RAM and NVRAM.

Introduction
Router Administrative Functions

Even though this section isn’t critical to making a router or switch work on a network, it’s still
really important; in it, I’m going to lead you through configuring commands that will help
administrate your network.

The administrative functions that you can configure on a router and switch are

1. Hostnames
2. Banners
3. Password
4. Interface descriptions

Procedure
1. Pick a PC from the menu and place it in blank space.
2. Drag a router and connect it with PC through Console Cable.
3. To change the hostname of a router, click on the PC, select desktop and then
terminal.
4. Tap the Ok button a window will appear.
5. Write enable (after switch#>) and then configure terminal command to enter in
configuration mode.
6. After that write a command hostname space name of a router.
7. To configure router password, write a command enable password space password
to be assigned.
8. To assign a secret password, write a command enable secret space the password
to be assigned.
9. To assign a console password, write a command line console 0 and then password
space password to be assigned.
10. Use banner motd E command to set the banner.
11. Enter exit twice command to move from command mode to user/console mode.
12. To see the settings, you have applied in RAM, write a command in privilege
mode show running-config, a window will appear which will show your user
name, password, and secret password and console password.
13. To save your settings in ROM from RAM, write a command copy running-config
startup-config and press enter.
14. Write a command show startup-config to see the settings saved in ROM from
RAM.
15. Turn off the router and select a port (in this case WIC-1T) from the menu at the
extreme left of the window.
16. Add the port in designated location of the router.
17. Allot IP to the serial port using the following commands in configuration mode:
a) interface serial 0/0/0 b) ip address space IP to be assigned space subnet mask.
18. You can view the IP you have assigned to the port by using show running-config
command
LAB TASKS
Compare IOS commands used in this lab to the ones used in switch
labs and write a brief report on it. Use at least 6 (any) commands.
