Set Up the Topology.
Configure Devices and Verify Connectivity

Cable the network


a. Connect the devices as shown in the topology. Use appropriate ports.
Click on PC’s, Switches, and Routers.
b. Establish a console connection from PC-A to S1 and from S2 to PC-B
Use console to connect PC-A to S1
Use console to connect S2 to PC-B

Assign static IP information to the PC interfaces.


c. Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings on PC-A.
Click on PC-A > Desktop tab > IP configuration > Enter IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway.
d. Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings on PC-B.
Click on PC-B > Desktop tap > IP configuration > Enter IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway.

Configure the routers.


e. Assign a device name to the router.
Click on Router>CLI
Router> enable
Router# config t
Router(config)# hostname R1
R1(config)# exit
R1# copy run start

f. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered
commands as though they were host names.
R1(config)# no IP domain-lookup
g. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password.
R1(config)# enable secret class
h. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login.
R1(config)# line console 0
R1(config-line)# password cisco
R1(config-line)# login

i. Encrypt the plain text passwords.


R1(config-line)# exit

j. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is
prohibited.
R1(config)# service password-encryption
R1(config)# banner motd #Unauthorized access is prohibited#
k. Configure an interface description for each interface, indicating which device is connected to
it.
R1(config)# int G0/0/0
R1(config)# int G0/0/1
R1(config-if)# description link to S1 and PC-A
R1(config-if)# description link to R1
l. Configure the router interfaces with IP address information according to the IP addressing
table and activate all the interfaces.
R1(config-if)# IP address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# IP address 192.168.21.5 255.255.255.252

r. Configure the encryption key method and set the modulus to 1024 bits.
R1(config)# crypo key generate rsa
How many bits in modulus[512]: 1024
s. Configure static routing on the routers to ensure full connectivity between all networks. Use
the next hop IP address as the argument.
R1(config)# IP router 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.21.5
