In global configuration mode enter “enable secret ranetenablepass”. After pressing enter you will see the prompt change from “Router(config)#” to “RanetA(config)#”. Once in the global configuration mode, type “hostname” followed by a space and the new router name which is “RanetA”.

Telnet from Ranet PC to Ranet A by using IPĪddress 192.168.0.254 and telnet password Both interface Fastethernet 0/0 and 0/1 mustĪfter configuring this, you should be able toĢ. Set IP address of interface Fastethernet 0/1 toħ. Set IP address of interface Fastethernet 0/0 toīe the first address of network 10.0.0.0/30Ħ. Set telnet password to be “ranettelnetpass”ĥ. Set console password to be “ranetconsolepass”Ĥ. Set enable secret to be “ranetenablepass”ģ. You have to do the basic configuration via Console TerminalĢ. We have just installed a new router to be our gateway. You are the Network Administrator at Ranet. Below are the lab’s scenario and instructions: We are now prepared to enter the commands to complete the lab. Global configuration command mode and is entered by typing “configure terminal”. This is the PC that has a console (light blue) cable connected to the router that will be configured. When the lab launches, click on “PC-PT Console Terminal”. You must use the PC to open a terminal (console) session to the router in order to configure it via the command line interface (CLI). The way this lab has been setup resembles how you would configure a router in actuality. Before we get started, I will explain how to configure routers in the Packet Tracer lab environment. I will walk you through all of the commands to accomplish each objective of this lab. This first lab (1-1) covers basic Cisco router network configuration. For details from Cisco on configuring Telnet, Console and AUX passwords, click here. For documentation about basic router configuration from Cisco, visit their page. A list of download links to 19 of these labs is about half way down this page.

A good practice method for the CCNA exam (Cisco Certified Networking Associate) if you have the Cisco study tool Packet Tracer is to download some practice labs that cover the CCNA objectives.
