So, I bring you… 5 Reasons a Raspberry Pi Belongs in Your Network Lab! 3 RPis and 1 Apple Pie in the Lab So, when I was asked if I had any ideas for a Pi-Day blog, I knew exactly what I wanted to write. Nope, since it was first released ten years ago, I’ve loved the Raspberry Pi microcomputer. And not just because of my deep affection for fruit/sugar-filled pastries. You should see status updates in the CLI that both configured interfaces are “up”.It’s Pi Day, everyone - my favorite crowd-sourced holiday. In order for a port to be turned on or activated, the “no shutdown” command must be entered for each interface. Both interface Fastethernet 0/0 and 0/1 must be enable. We will follow the same instructions as step 5 to configure fast ethernet port 0/1. Set IP address of interface Fastethernet 0/1 to be 192.168.0.254/26 While in global configuration command mode typeĦ. The “exit” command will drop us back into the global configuration command mode. To accomplish this objective we must enter the interface configuration command mode for fast ethernet port 0/0 and set the interface’s IP address as well as its subnet mask. The first useable IP address of the 10.0.0.0/30 network is 10.0.0.1. Set IP address of interface Fastethernet 0/0 to be the first address of network 10.0.0.0/30 Note: The “exit” command will drop you down into the global configuration command mode.ĥ. They appear in the configuration as line vty 0 4” ().
They are virtual, in the sense that they are a function of software – there is no hardware associated with them. “The VTY lines are the Virtual Terminal lines of the router, used solely to control inbound Telnet connections. You will then be dropped down into the privileged EXEC command mode after entering the “end” command.
This password will deter unauthorized access to the router via the console connection. In global configuration mode enter “enable secret ranetenablepass”. After pressing enter you will see the prompt change from “Router(config)#” to “RanetA(config)#”. Once in the global configuration mode, type “hostname” followed by a space and the new router name which is “RanetA”. Telnet from Ranet PC to Ranet A by using IPĪddress 192.168.0.254 and telnet password Both interface Fastethernet 0/0 and 0/1 mustĪfter configuring this, you should be able toĢ. Set IP address of interface Fastethernet 0/1 toħ. Set IP address of interface Fastethernet 0/0 toīe the first address of network 10.0.0.0/30Ħ. Set telnet password to be “ranettelnetpass”ĥ. Set console password to be “ranetconsolepass”Ĥ. Set enable secret to be “ranetenablepass”ģ. You have to do the basic configuration via Console TerminalĢ. We have just installed a new router to be our gateway.
You are the Network Administrator at Ranet. Below are the lab’s scenario and instructions: We are now prepared to enter the commands to complete the lab.
Global configuration command mode and is entered by typing “configure terminal”. This is the PC that has a console (light blue) cable connected to the router that will be configured. When the lab launches, click on “PC-PT Console Terminal”. You must use the PC to open a terminal (console) session to the router in order to configure it via the command line interface (CLI). The way this lab has been setup resembles how you would configure a router in actuality.
Before we get started, I will explain how to configure routers in the Packet Tracer lab environment. I will walk you through all of the commands to accomplish each objective of this lab. This first lab (1-1) covers basic Cisco router network configuration. For details from Cisco on configuring Telnet, Console and AUX passwords, click here. For documentation about basic router configuration from Cisco, visit their page.
A list of download links to 19 of these labs is about half way down this page. A good practice method for the CCNA exam (Cisco Certified Networking Associate) if you have the Cisco study tool Packet Tracer is to download some practice labs that cover the CCNA objectives.
