Role of Internetwork Operating System (IOS)
• Identify several classes of devices that have IOS

embedded

• Basic routing and switching functions

• Reliable and secure access to networked resources
• Network scalability
• Using Cisco Command Line Interface (CLI) to configuration

Access Methods
• Access Methods
– Console
– Telnet or SSH
– AUX port

Access Methods
• Use the CLI to access various IOS configuration

modes on a device

Console
• Console
– Low speed serial connection to directly connect a
computer or terminal to the console port on the router or
switch.
– Provides out-of-band access to a router
• Examples of console use are:

– The initial configuration of the network device
– Disaster recovery procedures and troubleshooting
where remote access is not possible
– Password recovery procedures

Telnet and SSH
• Telnet
– Require active networking services on the device.
– Run on layer 7 in OSI model
• Secure Shell (SSH) protocol
– Like telnet but more secure access
– Stronger password
– Uses encryption when transporting session data
– Use can use ssh client on PC name: Putty

nload.html

AUX
• Another way to establish a CLI session remotely is via a

telephone dialup connection using a modem
connected to the router's AUX port
• Can used locally, like console port
• Console port is also preferred over the auxiliary port for
troubleshooting because it displays router startup,
debugging, and error messages by default.

• Define the purpose of startup config.

• Identify the relationship between IOS and config

Configuration files
• Contain the Cisco IOS software commands used to

customize the functionality of a Cisco device.
• Commands are parsed (translated and executed) by the
Cisco IOS software when the system is booted (from the
startup-config file) or when commands are entered in the
CLI while in configuration mode.

Types of Configuration Files
• The running configuration file

– Used during the current operation of the device
– Changes to the running configuration will immediately
affect the operation of the Cisco device
• The startup configuration file
– Used as the backup configuration and is loaded when
the device is started
– The startup configuration file or startup-config file is
stored in non-volatile RAM (NVRAM)

• Recognize that Cisco IOS is modal and describe the

implications of modes.

• Define the different modes and identify the mode

prompts in the CLI

• Identify the basic command structure for IOS

commands

IOS command Conventions

• Identify the types of help and feedback available while

using IOS and use these features to get help, take
shortcuts and ascertain success

The Forms of Help
• The IOS has several forms of help available:

– Context-sensitive help
– Command Syntax Check
– Hot Keys and Shortcuts

Command Syntax Check

Command Syntax Check

Hot Keys and Shortcuts
• Tab - Completes the remainder of the command or

keyword
• Ctrl-R - Redisplays a line
• Ctrl-Z - Exits configuration mode and returns to the EXEC
• Down Arrow - Allows user to scroll forward through former
commands
• Up Arrow - Allows user to scroll backward through former
commands
• Ctrl-Shift-6 - Allows the user to interrupt an IOS process
such as ping or traceroute
• Ctrl-C - Aborts the current command and exits the
configuration mode

Examination Commands
• Identify the purpose of the show command and several

of its variations

IOS Configuration mode
• Identify several of the configuration modes, their

purpose and their associated prompt

IOS Configuration mode
• Interface mode - to configure one of the network

interfaces (Fa0/0, S0/0/0,..)
• Line mode - to configure one of the lines (physical or
virtual) (console, AUX, VTY,..)
• Router mode - to configure the parameters for one of the
routing protocols

BASIC CONFIGURATION

Naming a Device
• Explain the reasons for naming devices.

Naming a Device
• Describe two common approaches to establishing

naming conventions

Naming a Device
• To remove the name of a device, use:

– AtlantaHQ(config)# no hostname
– Router(config)#

Naming a Device
• Some guidelines for naming conventions are that names

should:
– Start with a letter
– Not contain a space
– End with a letter or digit
– Have characters of only letters, digits, and dashes
– Be 63 characters or fewer

Set Password
• The passwords introduced here are:

– Console password - limits device access using the
console connection
– Enable password - limits access to the privileged
EXEC mode
– Enable secret password - encrypted, limits access to
the privileged EXEC mode
– VTY password - limits device access using Telnet

Set Password
• Describe the role of passwords in limiting access to

device configurations

Set Password
• Describe several ways in which access to a device

configuration can be limited

Set Banner
• Use the CLI to set passwords and add banners to a

device

Set Banner
• Here are some examples of information to include in a

banner:
– "Use of the device is specifically for authorized
personnel."
– "Activity may be monitored."
– "Legal action will be pursued for any unauthorized use.“
• Command:
– Router(config)#banner motd # Secured system #

Manage configuration file
• Trace the steps used to examine the startup config,

make changes to config, and replace the startup config
with the running config

Manage configuration file
• Use basic IOS config commands to manage a device.

Backup Configuration on TFTP Server
• Backup Configuration on TFTP Server

1. Enter the copy running-config tftp command.
2. Enter the IP address of the host where the configuration
file will be stored.
3. Enter the name to assign to the configuration file.
4. Answer yes to confirm each choice.

Removing All Configurations
• Removing All Configurations

– Router# erase startup-config

Use a text file to backup and restore config settings

Use a text file to backup and restore config settings
• When using HyperTerminal, follow these steps:

1. On the Transfer menu, click Capture Text.
2. Choose the location.
3. Click Start to begin capturing text.
4. Once capture has been started, execute the show
running-config or show startup-config command at the
privileged EXEC prompt. Text displayed in the terminal
window will be placed into the chosen file.
5. View the output to verify that it was not corrupted.

Backup Configurations with Text Capture (TeraTerm)

Backup Configurations with Text Capture (TeraTerm)
1. On the File menu, click Log.

2. Choose the location. TeraTerm will begin capturing text.

Select, Apply, and Verify Appropriate Addressing
Parameters to a Host

• Given a type of host and a master addressing scheme,

trace the steps for assigning host parameters to a host

• Trace the steps for using ipconfig/ifconfig to verify host

parameter assignments and for using ping to test
assignments


Use Common Utilities to Verify Network Connectivity
Between Hosts
• Use the ping command in the CLI to determine if the

IP protocol is operational on a local host

Between Hosts
• Use the ping command to determine if the IP protocol

is properly bound to an NIC

Between Hosts
• Use the ping command to determine if a host can

actively communicate across the local network
