- 1. Lab 2.2.4 Establishing a Console Session with HyperTerminal Objective • Connect a router and workstation using a console cable. • Configure HyperTerminal to establish a console session with the router. Background/Preparation HyperTerminal is a simple Windows-based terminal emulation program that can be used to connect to the console port on the router. A PC with HyperTerminal provides a keyboard and monitor for the router. Connecting to the console port with a rollover cable and using HyperTerminal is the most basic way to access a router for checking or changing its configuration. Set up a network similar to the one in the diagram. Any router that meets the interface requirements may be used. Possible routers include 800, 1600, 1700, 2500, 2600 routers, or a combination. The following resources will be required: • Workstation with a serial interface and HyperTerminal • Cisco Router • Console (rollover) cable for connecting the workstation to the router Step 1 Basic router configuration a. Connect a rollover cable to the console port on the router and the other end to the PC with a DB- 9 or DB-25 adapter to the COM 1 port. This should be completed prior to powering on any devices. 1 - 4 CCNA 2: Routers and Routing Basics v 3.1 - Lab 2.2.4 Copyright 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc.
- 2. Step 2 Start HyperTerminal program a. Turn on the computer and router. b. From the Widows taskbar, locate the HyperTerminal program: Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > Hyper Terminal Step 3 Name the HyperTerminal session a. At the “Connection Description” popup, enter a name in the connection Name: field and select OK. Step 4 Specify the computers connecting interface a. At the “Connect To” popup, use the drop down arrow in the Connect using: field to select COM1 and select OK. 2 - 4 CCNA 2: Routers and Routing Basics v 3.1 - Lab 2.2.4 Copyright 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc.
- 3. Step 5 Specify the interface connection properties a. At the “COM1 Properties” popup, use the drop down arrows to select: Bits per second: 9600 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None Then select OK. b. When the HyperTerminal session window comes up, turn on the router. If the router is already on, press the Enter key. There should be a response from the router. If there is, then the connection has been successfully completed. If there is no connection, troubleshoot as necessary. For example, verify that the router has power. Check the connection to the COM 1 port on the PC and the console port on the router. If there is still no connection, ask the instructor for assistance. c. Record in the engineering journal the correct procedure for establishing a console session with the router. Step 6 Closing the session a. To end the console session from a HyperTerminal session, select: File > Exit b. When the HyperTerminal disconnect warning popup appears, select Yes. 3 - 4 CCNA 2: Routers and Routing Basics v 3.1 - Lab 2.2.4 Copyright 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc.
- 4. c. The computer will then ask if the session is to be saved. Select Yes. Step 7 Reopen the HyperTerminal connection, as shown in Step 2 a. At the “Connection Description” popup, select Cancel. b. To open the saved console session from HyperTerminal, select: File > Open The saved session will now appear and by double-clicking on the name, the connection will open without reconfiguring it each time. Step 8 Terminating the HyperTerminal session a. Close HyperTerminal. b. Shut down the router. 4 - 4 CCNA 2: Routers and Routing Basics v 3.1 - Lab 2.2.4 Copyright 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc.
- 5. Lab 2.2.9 Command Line Fundamentals Objective • Log into a router and go to the user and privileged modes. • Use several basic router commands to determine how the router is configured. • Use the router HELP facility. • Use command history and editing features. • Logout of the router. Background/Preparation HyperTerminal is a simple Windows-based terminal emulation program that can be used to connect to the routers console port. A PC with HyperTerminal provides a keyboard and monitor for the router.

- 15. Lab 3.1.4 Using Router show Commands Objective • Become familiar with the basic router show commands. • Retrieve the current running configuration from RAM using show running-config. • View the backup configuration file in NVRAM using show startup-config. • View the IOS file information using show flash and show version. • View the current status of the router interfaces using show interface. • View the status of any configured Layer 3 protocol using show protocols. Background/Preparation This lab helps the student become familiar with the router show commands. The show commands are the most important information-gathering commands available for the router. • show running-config (or show run) is probably the single most valuable command to help determine the current status of a router, because it displays the active configuration file running in RAM. • show startup-config (or show start) displays the backup configuration file that is stored in non-volatile RAM (NVRAM). This is the file that will be used to configure the router when it is first started or rebooted with the reload command. All the detailed router interface settings are contained in this file. • show flash is used to view the available flash memory and the amount used. Flash is where the Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) file or image is stored. 1 - 4 CCNA 2: Routers and Routing Basics v 3.1 - Lab 3.1.4 Copyright 2003, Cisco Systems, Inc.
