Objectives
 Define the role of the Internetwork Operating System
(IOS)
 Use Cisco CLI commands to perform basic router and
switch configuration and verification
 Given a network addressing scheme, select, apply,
and verify appropriate addressing parameters to a
host
 Use common utilities to verify network connectivity
between hosts
 Use common utilities to establish a relative
performance baseline for the network

Role of Internetwork Operating System (IOS)
 Identify several classes of devices that have IOS
embedded

 Define the purpose of startup config.

 Identify the relationship between IOS and config

 Recognize that Cisco IOS is modal and describe the
implications of modes.

 Define the different modes and identify the mode
prompts in the CLI

 Identify the basic command structure for IOS
commands

 Identify the types of help and feedback available while
using IOS and use these features to get help, take
shortcuts and ascertain success

 Identify the purpose of the show command and several
of its variations

 Identify several of the configuration modes, their
purpose and their associated prompt

 Use the CLI to access various IOS configuration modes
on a device

Use Cisco CLI Commands to Perform Basic
Router & Switch Configuration and Verification
 Explain the reasons for naming devices.

 Describe two common approaches to establishing
naming conventions

 Based on a diagram, configure host names using the
CLI

 Describe the role of passwords in limiting access to
device configurations

 Describe several ways in which access to a device
configuration can be limited

 Use the CLI to set passwords and add banners to a
device

 Trace the steps used to examine the startup config,
make changes to config, and replace the startup config
with the running config

 Use basic IOS config commands to manage a device.

 Use a text file to backup and restore config settings

 Identify the role of a router in a network.

 Describe the purpose of having multiple interfaces in
one router

 Explain the purpose of assigning interface descriptions
to a router

 Assign a router interface, assign a meaningful interface
description, and enable the interface

Select, Apply, and Verify Appropriate
Addressing Parameters to a Host
 Given a type of host and a master addressing scheme, trace the
steps for assigning host parameters to a host

 Trace the steps for using ipconfig/ifconfig to verify host parameter
assignments and for using ping to test assignments

 Identify two ways parameters can be assigned to hosts

Use Common Utilities to Verify Network
Connectivity Between Hosts
 Use the ping command in the CLI to determine if the IP
protocol is operational on a local host

 Use the ping command to determine if the IP protocol is
properly bound to an NIC

 Use the ping command to determine if a host can
actively communicate across the local network

 Use the ping command to verify that the local host can
communicate across the internetwork to a given remote
host.

 Identify several conditions that might cause the test to
fail

 Use trace commands to identify network connectivity
problem

Use Common Utilities to Establish a Relative
Performance Baseline for the Network
 Use the output of the ping command, saved into logs,
and repeated over time, to establish relative network
performance

 Use the output of the traceroute command, saved into
logs, and repeated over time, to establish relative
network performance

 Trace the steps for verifying the physical addresses of
the hosts
