Lab 1: IPv4 configuration, verification and troubleshooting

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:

Lab 1: IPv4 address configuration, verification and troubleshooting

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.

Lab solution

Task 1:

On router R1
R1>enable 
Router#configure terminal 
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#hostname R1
R1(config)#

Sur le routeur R2
R1>enable 
Router#configure terminal 
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#hostname R2
R2(config)#

Task 2:

R1>enable 

R1#configure terminal 
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

R1(config)#interface serial 0/0/0

R1(config-if)#ip address 192.16.1.1 255.255.255.192

R1(config-if)#no shutdown 

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to down
R1(config-if)#

R2>enable 

R2#configure terminal 
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

R2(config)#interface serial 0/0/0

R2(config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.192

R2(config-if)#no shutdown 

R2(config-if)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial0/0/0, changed state to up

R2(config-if)#exit

R2(config)#interface loopback 10
R2(config-if)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Loopback10, changed state to up

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Loopback10, changed state to up


R2(config-if)#ip address 10.10.10.3 255.255.255.128

R2(config-if)#no shutdown 

R2(config-if)#exit 

R2(config)#interface loopback 20
R2(config-if)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Loopback20, changed state to up

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Loopback20, changed state to up


R2(config-if)#ip address 20.20.20.3 255.255.255.240

R2(config-if)#no shutdown 
R2(config-if)#exi

R2(config)#interface loopback 30

R2(config-if)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Loopback30, changed state to up

%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Loopback30, changed state to up


R2(config-if)#ip address 30.30.30.3 255.255.255.248

R2(config-if)#no shutdown 
R2(config-if)#

Task 3:

R2#show ip interface brief
