Cisco Router Console Basic configuration IPv4 IPv61.1 Connecting the Router
In order to configure the Cisco router to perform the network operation desired, the first thing to do is to connect the router through console connection. This connection is used to configure the router and it does not carry user data.
Most routers come with console cable that has one DB-9 end and the other end is RJ-45 connecter. These connectors can be seen in Fig.. The cable is usually a slim ribbon that looks different from the regular LAN twisted pair cables. 
Fig. 1.1
Console cable
Leave the router off and connect the RJ-45 end of the cable to the port of the router labelled console. The other end, the DB-9 one, should be connected to the computer serial port. Most of the modern laptops do not have the legacy DB-9 serial port. Instead of the DB-9 serial port, a USB port can be used. This would require the use of a USB-to-DB9 adapter.
Some older routers come with console cables that have RJ-45 connectors in both of their ends. These cables come with RJ-45-to-DB9 adapters.
After connecting the console cable to the computer, using the DB-9 connecter or the USB, software for terminal emulation is required.
The first choice is HyperTerminal if you are using Windows XP. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, there are several free alternatives such as PuTTY or Tera Term. If you are using Linux, you can use MiniCom or CuteCom.
For Mac, you can use MiniCom and ZTerm.
The basic settings that need to be done in the terminal emulation software are the following:
- Bits per sec: 9600
- Data bits: 8
- Parity: none
- Stop bits: 1
- Flow control: none
After connecting the cable and configuring the settings on the terminal emulation software, turn the router power on.
The screen should show the router boot-up process and information such as the IOS version, amount of memory available, and types of interfaces.
Eventually, you will end up at the user EXEC mode with the prompt Router> .
If the router was configured before and it has console password configured in it, you will be asked to input the password before getting to the user EXEC mode.
1.2 Basic Configuration
Basic configuration is simply what you need to configure on a router coming out of the box or surviving a configuration erase. Think of it as saying Hi to the router.
The following steps are what we refer to as the basic router configuration:
- Go to the global configuration mode and give the router a hostname:Router> enableRouter# configure terminalRouter(config)# hostname new - hostnameThis would change the hostname of the router from Router to new - hostname . Keep in mind that this name follows the old file name rules (it should start with a letter, and should not contain spaces or symbols).
- Set up enable/secret password:Router(config)# enable password your - passwordOrRouter(config)# enable secret your - passwordThis password will be required when you type enable to go from user EXEC mode to privilege mode.The first one saves the password in plain text, while the second one saves the password in encrypted format.The first one is almost obsolete. It is more secure to use the second one.Remember that only one of them is required. If you set them both, the secret password would prevail.
- Set up console password:Router(config)# line console 0Router(config-line)# password console - passwordRouter(config-line)# loginThis password will be required when a console connection is made. It is the first password that an administrator will be asked for before entering any mode.
- To prevent the router status messages from interrupting your writing, use the following command in the console line configuration mode:Router(config-line)# logging synchronous
- If you plan to use Telnet, set up the Telnet password. If you do not intend to use Telnet in the near future, do not set it up.Router(config)# line vty 0 4Router(config-line)# password telnet - passwordRouter(config-line)# loginIn some routers, vty 0 15 is used instead of vty 0 4, depending on the number of simultaneous Telnet sessions you want to allow. If you need only one, just writeline vty 0 .
- Save the configuration from the RAM to the NVRAM.Router# copy running-configuration startup-configurationOrRouter# copy run start
1.3 Interfaces Configuration
Before we dive into the interfaces settings, we need to understand the difference between an Interface and a Line. In the simplest distinction, interfaces are designed to carry user and routing data while lines are used for configuration purposes.
1.3.1 Configuring IPv4 Addresses
- Assign IPv4 addresses to interfaces you plan to use:Router(config)# interface interface - type interface - numberRouter(config-if)# ip address interface - ip - address subnetmaskwhere,interface - type is the interface type such as ethernet, FastEthernet, or serial.interface - number is the interface number like 0, 0/0, or 0/1/0.interface - ip - address is the IPv4 address you want to assign to this interface.subnetmask is the subnet mask of the network this interface is connected to.
- By default, all router interfaces are shutdown. To turn on an interface, use the following command in the interface configuration mode:Router(config-if)# no shutdown
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each interface you need.
1.3.2 Configuring IPv6 Addresses
- Assign IPv4 addresses to interfaces you plan to use:Router(config)# interface interface - type interface - numberRouter(config-if)# ipv6 address ipv6 - address/prefix - lengthwhere,interface - type is the interface type such as ethernet, FastEthernet, or serial.interface - number is the interface number like 0, 0/0, or 0/1/0.Ipv6 - address is the IPv6 address you want to assign to this interface.Prefix - length is the IPv6 prefix length of the network this interface is connected to.You can use the following parameters for special settings:
- a. Router(config-if)# ipv6 address ipv6 - address/prefix - length eui-64The EUI-64 parameter is used to tell the router to complete the rest of the IPv6 address using the EUI-64 rules. In this case, you need to give only the prefix instead of the ipv6 - address .
