Module 3: Configuring a Router / Overview

Overview
The initial steps that are used to configure a router are not very difficult. If students become familiar with these steps and learn how to move between the router user modes, it will be easier to perform complex router configurations. This module introduces the basic configuration modes of the router and provides opportunities to practice simple configurations.


A clear, easy to understand router configuration that is backed up regularly should be a goal of all network administrators. The Cisco IOS provides many tools that an administrator can use to add information to the configuration file for documentation purposes. A network administrator should provide as much information as possible in case another person becomes responsible for the network.

This module covers some of the objectives for the CCNA 640-801, INTRO 640-821, and ICND 640-811 exams. -

Students who complete this module should be able to perform the following tasks:

• Name a router
• Set passwords
• Examine show commands
• Configure a serial interface
• Configure an Ethernet interface
• Execute changes to a router
• Save changes to a router
• Configure an interface description
• Configure a message-of-the-day banner
• Configure host tables
• Understand the importance of backups and documentation
