Instructor & Todd Lammle Sybex CCNA 640-802 Chapter 6: Cisco’s IOS
Chapter 6 Objectives • The Cisco router IOS • Enhanced editing • Administrative functions • Hostnames • Banners • Passwords • Interface descriptions • Verifying your configuration 2
Cisco Router IOS • Carries network protocols and functions • Connects high-speed traffic between devices • Adds security to control access • Provides scalability for growth • Supplies reliability
Connecting To A Cisco Router Cisco 2800 Cisco 1841
Bringing up a Router • Boot-up process: 1: POST 2: Looks for the Cisco IOS from Flash memory 3: IOS loads & looks for a valid configuration; • startup-config • stored in nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) 4: If a valid config is not found in NVRAM: • setup mode
Setup Mode • Basic Management Setup • Extended Setup • Command-Line Interface
Configuration • CLI Prompts • Interfaces • Sub-interfaces • Line Commands • Routing Protocol Configurations
Command-Line Interface (CLI) • More flexible than setup mode. • To use the CLI, just say No to entering the initial configuration dialog.
Subinterfaces Allow you to create logical interfaces within the router Router(config-if)#interface f0/0.1 Router(config-subif)#
Logging into the Router • User mode: • Router> • Used mostly to view statistics • Privileged mode: • Router# • Used to view & change router configuration
Overview of Router Modes • Global changes: • config terminal or config t • Changes made to running-config(DRAM) • To change the startup-config (NVRAM) • config memory or configmem Note: Any configuration changes need to be placed into RAM. Typing configmem or config net (from a TFTP host) will appendthe current running-config
Editing & Help Features • Commands starting with a certain letter Router#c? clear clock configure connect copy • Enhanced Editing Commands • Router-Command History • Gathering Basic Routing Information • show version
Administrative Functions The administrative functions that you can configure on a router and switch are • Hostnames • Banners • Password • Interface descriptions
Hostnames & Descriptions • Hostnames Router(config)#hostname todd todd(config)# • Descriptions Atlanta(config)#int e0 Atlanta(config-if)#description Sales Lan
Banners • Purpose • Types • exec • incoming • login • motd • Delimiting character
Setting the Passwords • 5 passwords: • 1st two used to set your enable password • Used to secure privileged mode; Router>enable • Other three are used to configure a password in user mode via: • console port • auxiliary port • Telnet
Passwords • Enable passwords Router(config)#enable password cisco Router(config)#enable secret cisco • Auxiliary Password • Console Password • Telnet Password • Encrypting Your Password Router(config)#service password-encryption
Interface Descriptions Setting descriptions on an interface is helpful to the administrator and, like the hostname, only locally significant. The description command is a helpful one because you can, for instance, use it to keep track of circuit numbers. Here’s an example: Atlanta(config)#int e0 Atlanta(config-if)#description Sales Lan Atlanta(config-if)#int s0 Atlanta(config-if)#desc Wan to Miami circuit:6fdda4321 You can view the description of an interface either with the show running-config command or the show interface command.
Router Interfaces • Bringing up an Interface no shutdown shutdown show interface • Configuring an IP Address on an Interface Router(config)#int e0 Router(config-if)#ip address 172.16.10.2 255.255.255.0 Router(config-if)#no shut • Serial Interface Commands clock rate & bandwidth (entered in kilobits)
Viewing, & Saving Configurations • Viewing & Saving Configurations • running-configsaved in DRAM • startup-config saved in NVRAM copy run start sh run sh start erase startup-config
Verifying Your Configuration Tools: • show running-config • show startup-config • ping • show cdp nei detail • trace • telnet
Other Verification Methods • Verifying with the show interface command • Router#show interface ? • Verifying with the show ip interface command • Router#show ip interface • Router#show ip interface brief • Router#show controllers
Summary • Go through all the written labs and review questions • Review answers in class 28
