mode?
Config t can be used to enter the global mood from privileged mood.

How can the hostname be removed?

Hostname can be removed by using the command (no hostname)

Step 4: Configure the MOTD banner.

Examine the different banner modes that can be entered. Write down the
list of banner modes and description.
banner incoming: Defines a customized banner to be displayed when there is an incoming

Point-to-Point connection is made.

exec-banner: Controls (enables or disables) the display of EXEC banners and message-of-
the-day banners on a specified line or lines.

No banner motd command is used to remove the MOTD banner.

Task 2: Configure Cisco router password access.

Step 2: Configure the console password.

What is the command to remove the console password?
No password can used to remove the console password

Step 3: Configure the virtual line password.

Issue the command exit. What is the router prompt? What is the mode?

When we write exit command then we will enter global configuration mood.

Issue the command end. What is the router prompt? What is the mode?
When we write end command then we will enter into privileged mood.

Task 3: Configure Cisco Router Interfaces.

Step 4: Verify network connectivity.

Use the ping command to verify network connectivity with the router. If ping replies are not
successful troubleshoot the connection:

What Cisco IOS command can be used to verify the interface status?
show ip interface brief command can be used to verify interface status.

What Windows command can be used to verify host computer configuration?

What is the correct LAN cable between host1 and Router1?
Copper cross over LAN cable is used between host1 and router 1

Task 4: Save the Router Configuration File.

Router1#show running-config

Use the output to answer the following questions:

How large is the configuration file?

823 bytes

What is the enable secret password?

5 $1$mERr$Zr2mIrjYT1J3kgIr6eLCG1

Does your MOTD banner contain the information you entered earlier?
No

Do your interface descriptions contain the information you entered earlier?

No

Step 2: Save RAM configuration to NVRAM.

Write down one possible shortcut command that will copy the RAM

CRITICAL ANALYSIS:
In this lab we learned about how to Network Cabling & Basic CISCO
Devices Configuration. We learned about the different cables used in
the networking systems. We also learned about how to configure
different devices according to our requirement.

We did the router configuration. We used CLI the router setting to

configure different setting, we set the how to set password, banner ,
viewing and copy the memory and how Interface the other devices
etc.

We learned about different configuration moods used in the device

configuration.
