Cisco Router IOS
•
•
•
•
•
Carries network protocols and functions
Connects high-speed traffic between devices
Adds security to control access
Provides scalability for growth
Supplies reliability
– You should understand that routers are seldom
directly connected to user devices, such as
workstations, printers, etc. Normally, a router is
connected to another router, or it is connected to a
switch (or a hub in an older environment) which is in
turn connected to workstations or other devices
found in an office.
p. 173
Router Access (Connecting to a Cisco Router - 173)
• Console port (console)
– Rollover cable (each end is a mirror-image o/t other)
• RJ-45 to DB-9
• RJ-45 to DB-25
• Auxiliary port (AUX)
– Can function like a console port
– Or, can accept modem commands, i.e., from
sources outside the network (i.e., “out of band”)
• Virtual terminal (VTY)
– This is for telnet access
– This kind of access is from within the network (i.e.,
“in band”.
Connecting To A Cisco Router

Cisco ISR Routers
• Distinguish older Cisco routers from the newer,
ISR routers
• The “Integrated Services Routers” line runs a
“hardened” version of Linux and is generally
deployed at branch offices.
• ISR routers are part of a trend to include more
services in routers – probably making them
more profitable.
Connecting To A Cisco Router
Connecting Via Terminal Programs
• Establish a connection
– Physical connection through console

•
9600 bits per second
data bits 8
stop bits 1
parity “none”
flow control “none”
– Logical connection through VTY
– Terminal programs

Bringing up a Router
- pg 175
• Boot-up process:
1: POST
2: Looks for the Cisco IOS from Flash memory
3: IOS loads & looks for a valid configuration;
• startup-config
• stored in nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM)
• i.e., the IOS is stored in a compressed state in nonvolatile memory, or NVRAM
• When the router boots it is “decompressed” into RAM.
4: If a valid config is not found in NVRAM:
• setup mode

Bringing up a Router
• Boot-up process:
Setup Mode
• Basic Management Setup
• Extended Setup
• Command-Line Interface
Command-Line Interface (CLI)
• More flexible than setup mode.
• To use the CLI, just say “No” to entering the
initial configuration dialog.
• Initial prompt consists of two parts
– Hostname
– Greater than symbol (>)
p. 179
Logging into the Router
• User mode:
– Router>
– Used mostly to view statistics
• Privileged mode:
– Router#
– Used to view & change router configuration
Overview of Router Modes
• Global changes:
– config terminal or config t
– Changes made to running-config (DRAM)
– To change the startup-config
(NVRAM)
• config memory or config mem
• Note: Any configuration changes need to be
placed into RAM.
• Typing “config mem” or “config net” (from a
TFTP host) will append the current runningconfig
p. 1
Configuration Modes
• Global configuration mode
– Router(config)#
• Interface mode
– Router(config–if)#
• Line configuration mode
– Router(config-line)#
• Router configuration mode
– Router(config-router)#

Administrative Functions
The administrative functions that you can
configure on a router and switch are
•
•
•
•
Hostnames
Banners
Passwords
Interface descriptions
Hostnames & Descriptions
• Hostnames
Router(config)#hostname todd
todd(config)#
• Descriptions
Atlanta(config)#int e0
Atlanta(config-if)#description Sales Lan
Banners
• Purpose: welcome message
• Types
–

exec:
incoming:
login:
motd:
set EXEC process creation banner
set incoming terminal line banner
login banner
set “Message of the Day” banner
• Delimiting character
Banners
Setting the Passwords
• 5 passwords:
– 1st two used to set your enable password
• Used to secure privileged mode;
• Router>enable
• Or Router>en (because no other commands at privileged level
.
begin with “en”
– Other three are used to configure a password in user mode
via:
• console port
• auxiliary port
• Telnet
Passwords
• Enable passwords
– Router(config)#enable password cisco
– Router(config)#enable secret cisco
Note: the secret password supersedes the enable
password, i.e., if you set both passwords, you will be
asked for the secret password.

Interface Descriptions
Setting descriptions on an interface is helpful to the administrator and, like
the hostname, only locally significant. The description command is a
helpful one because you can, for instance, use it to keep track of circuit
numbers.
Here’s an example:
Atlanta(config)#int e0
Atlanta(config-if)#description Sales Lan
Atlanta(config-if)#int s0
Atlanta(config-if)#desc Wan to Miami circuit:6fdda4321
You can view the description of an interface either with the
show running-config command or the show interface
command.
