Task 2: Create the Initial Router Configuration

Step 1:
Answer No to the initial configuration dialog question and use the enable command to enter privileged EXEC mode.

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no

<output omitted>
Router>
Router>enable
Router#

Step 2:
Use the command hostname to set the host name.

Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Router(config)#hostname Branch

End with CNTL/Z.

Lab 2-1 Performing Initial Router Setup and Configuration

Branch(config)#

Step 3:

Branch#

Step 4:
Enter these commands on the Branch router to enter interface configuration mode, enable the interface, and provide a description:

Branch(config)#interface Ethernet 0/0

Branch(config-if)#no shutdown
*Dec 18 10:02:59.761: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Ethernet0/0, changed state to up
*Dec 18 10:03:00.761: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Ethernet0/0, changed state to up
Branch(config-if)#description Link to LAN Switch

Step 5:
Enter this command on the Branch router:

Branch(config-if)#ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

Step 6:

Branch(config-if)#end
*Dec 18 10:04:58.697: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
Branch#show interfaces Ethernet 0/0
Ethernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is AmdP2, address is aabb.cc00.1900 (bia aabb.cc00.1900)

Lab 2-1 Performing Initial Router Setup and Configuration

Description: Link to LAN Switch

Internet address is 10.1.1.1/24
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000 Kbit/sec, DLY 1000 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set
Keepalive set (10 sec)
<text omitted>

Step 7:

Branch#ping 10.1.1.100
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.100, timeout is 2 seconds:
.!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms
The ping might fail due to slow STP convergence on the SW1 switch. If the ping fails, try to issue another ping after few seconds.
The first ICMP packet could time out because Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) needs to obtain Layer 2 addressing before the packet can be sent out of the interface.

Step 8:
Use this command on the Branch router:

Branch#copy running-config startup-config

Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...

Lab 2-1 Performing Initial Router Setup and Configuration

[OK]

Task 3: Improve the Usability of the CLI

Step 1:
Enter these commands on the Branch router:

Branch#configure terminal
Branch(config)#line console 0
Branch(config-line)#exec-timeout 60 0

Step 2:

Branch#show line console 0

Step 3:
Use the logging synchronous command on the Branch router:

Branch(config)#line console 0
Branch(config-line)#logging synchronous

Step 4:
On the Branch router, use the command no ip domain lookup in global configuration mode to disable the resolution of symbolic names.

Branch(config)#no ip domain lookup

Step 5:
On the Branch router, use command copy running-config startup-config to copy the configuration into NVRAM.

Task 4: Discover Connected Neighbors with Cisco Discovery Protocol

Step 1:

Branch#show cdp
Global CDP information:
Sending CDP packets every 60 seconds
Sending a holdtime value of 180 seconds

Step 2:
On the Branch router, use the show cdp neighbors command to display all neighboring Cisco devices:

Branch#show cdp neighbors
