Basic Router Configuration
Objectives:
To learn a method for configuring basic router commands that you will use many times.
Background:
During the course of your CCNA studies you will be setting up many routers with many
different router configurations. It is a good idea to learn to set up routers in “steps.”
Step 1—start with setting up basic router configuration.
Step 2—configure interfaces
Step 3—configure routing protocol
Step 4—add any other items (ACL’s, security, routes, etc)
In this lab you will learn about step 1: configuring the router’s name, configuring vty
lines, console lines, and setting up passwords.
Tools and Materials:
CISCO router
Workstation with Hyperterminal program
(1) Rollover cable (ro)
Cabling diagram:

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Boot up the router and do not use the setup program. Oh sure, setup is easy, but
you need to learn it all from the command line. Enter the privileged mode:
Router>enable
Router#
(or just “en”)
since no enable password is set yet, the router does
not ask for a password
2. Enter configuration mode:
Router#configure
Router#terminal
Router(config)#
(or just “config t”)
