In this lab the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) commands will be used. CDP discovers and shows information about directly connected Cisco devices (routers and switches). Any router that meets the interface requirements may be used. Possible routers include 800, 1600, 1700, 2500, 2600 routers, or a combination. Refer to the chart at the end of the lab to correctly identify the interface identifiers to be used based on the equipment in the lab. The configuration output used in this lab is produced from 1721 series routers. Any other router used may produce slightly different output. The following steps are intended to be executed on each router. | Cisco Systems Lab Configuring Message-of-the-Day MOTD Router Name FAO O Address so o Address Subnet mask Routing Enable Secret password Enable VTY Console passwords GAD RIP class cisco Straight-through cable Serial cable Console Rollover Crossover cable Objective Demonstrate the commands to enter a message-of-the-day MOTD on the router. This procedure allows all users to view the message upon entering the router. Set up a network similar to the one in the previous diagram. Background Preparation In this lab the Cisco Discovery Protocol CDP commands will be used. CDP discovers and shows information about directly connected Cisco devices routers and switches . Any router that meets the interface requirements may be used. Possible routers include 800 1600 1700 2500 2600 routers or a combination. Refer to the chart at the end of the lab to correctly identify the interface identifiers to be used based on the equipment in the lab. The configuration output used in this lab is produced from 1721 series routers. Any other router used may produce slightly different output. The following steps are intended to be executed on each router unless specifically instructed otherwise. Start a HyperTerminal session as performed in the Establishing a HyperTerminal session lab. Note Go to the erase and reload instructions at the end of this lab. Perform those steps on all routers in this lab assignment before continuing. 1 - 4 CCNA 2 Routers and Routing Basics v - Lab Copyright 2003 Cisco Systems Inc. Step 1 Configure basic router information a. On the Gadsden router enter the global configuration mode. Configure the hostname as shown in the chart. Then configure the console virtual terminal and enable passwords. If there are any difficulties refer to the Configuring Router Passwords lab. b. Enter the show running-config command to verify the configuration that was just entered. c. Save the configuration information from the privileged
