Router Configuration Exercise (5 points) When configuring a router, there are certain basic tasks performed, Naming the router Setting passwords Configuring interfaces Configuring a banner Saving changes on a router Verifying basic configuration and router operations 1 2 3 4 Question The first prompt is _______ mode and will allow you to view the state of the router. What major limitation does this mode have? What does the router prompt look like for this mode? The enable command is used to enter the privileged mode. What is the major difference between this mode and user mode? What does the router prompt look like for this mode? Answer User
User mode will not allow you to modify the router configuration. Router> Privileged mode allows the user to make configuration changes on the router.

Basic Routing Principles (8 points) Static Routing Question When the IOS learns about a remote network and the interface it will use to reach that network, it adds that route to the ___ ___ (2 words) . . . . as long as the ___ ___ (2 words) is enabled. Static routes are denoted with the code ___ in the routing table. List and describe three situations in which static routes should be used (use Answer cells 27, 28, and 29) for the three answers. Answer

routing table exit interface S

A network consists of only a few routers. Using a dynamic routing protocol in such a case does not present any substantial benefit. On the contrary, dynamic routing can add more administrative overhead. A network is connected to the Internet only through a single ISP. There is no need to use a dynamic routing protocol across this link because the ISP represents the only exit point to the Internet. A large network is configured in a hub-andspoke topology. A hub-and-spoke topology consists of a central location (the hub) and multiple branch locations (spokes), with each spoke having only one connection to the hub. Using a dynamic routing protocol would be unnecessary because each branch only has one path to a given destinationthrough the central location.

Dynamic Routing Dynamic routing protocols are used by routers to share information about the reachability and status of remote networks. Dynamic routing protocols perform several activities. 30 Question ____ ___ (2 words), which is a Answer

31

routing protocols ability to share information about the networks it knows about with other routers that are also using the same routing protocol. ____ routing tables, which is a routing protocols ability to compensate for any topology changes without involving the network administrator.

Figure 1
Understanding a routers place in the network is a prerequisite to moving ahead in your studies of routing and routing protocols. You studied routers extensively in Chapter 1, Introduction to Routing and Packet Forwarding. The following sections review some of the basic skills you need to progress to the next step: static routing. Refer to the topology shown in Figure 1 and document the address scheme. Use the table below to document the IP addresses for all the interfaces. Use the following guidelines, assign addresses from the indicated subnets to the interfaces on the routers and the PCs. Assign the first IP address for all LANs to the router interface. Assign HQ the first IP address for all WAN links to Branch routers. Assign the second IP address from each LAN subnet to the PC on that LAN See Introducing the Topology in chapter 2 page 67 of your text for examples

Summary Static Routes (3 points) Summary routes are used to simplify the routing table and make it more efficient. Create a summary static route for R1 in figure 1 for the 3 LANs it has attached. Use the steps from your text Chapter 2 page 125: Calculating a Summary Route. 192.168.20.0/24 192.168.21.0/24 192.168.22.0/24 Write the networks in binary form. 11000000 11000000 11000000 10101000 10101000 10101000 00010100 00010101 00010110

Question Answer Find subnet mask by counting Bits matching from left to right: 22 ____. This is your subnet mask for the summary route. Find summary address by putting 0s (zeros) in remaining address 192.168.20.0 positions after the left to right matching ends (For example if the first 21 bits match from the left, put 0s (zeros) in the remaining 11 positions of the 32 bit address to find address for the summary).
