configuration, verification and troubleshooting of IPv4 addresses :
Objective of the Lab
The goal of this lab is for you to learn and understand how to create and troubleshoot IPv4 addresses on Cisco routers.
IPv4 addressing configuration is one of your most basic tasks as a network administrator. In the exam, you may also be asked to troubleshoot an IPv4 addressing that has already been configured, but incorrectly! So you need to know which show commands to use.
Topology of the Lab IPv4 configuration
Here is the topology of the Lab:

Task 1:
Configure the host names on routers R1 and R2 as shown in the topology.
Task 2: IPv4 configuration
Configure the IPv4 addresses on the serial interfaces of R1 and R2 as shown in the topology. Also, configure the Loopback interfaces specified in the diagram to R2.
Task 3:
Check the configurations using the show command
- The summary of all IPv4 addresses configured on the ;
- The administrative status of the interfaces (up or down);
- Subnet masks applied to interfaces.
