Configuring a Cisco Router

Step 1.

First you need to be connected to a router on a console port 0 using a rollover cable. The other end is connected to COM1.

When you load hyperterminal you will have to set the device interface to COM1 to properly access the router.

Step 2.

To configure the router you need to enter global configuration mode. From user mode type the follwing commands,

Router> enable

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)#

Step 3.

Once inside global configuration mode a router name, a password for user EXEC mode, password for line console 0, line vty 0 4 and a message of the day banner need to be set for device security. For this example we will be setting the host name to Dante. Password for user EXEC will be cisco and pass word for both line console 0 and vty 0 4 will be class. We will also be turning off name resolution for unrecognized commands by entering in the no ip domain-lookup command as well.

Router(config)# hostname Dante

Dante(config)#
