Lab: Router Basics

In this lab, you will practice some very simple router commands. You will learn to determine basic router device information by doing a show version and learn to configure hostnames and disable Domain Name System (DNS) lookups.

This lab has the following objectives:

Identify which router model you are on.
Identify the software feature and version.
Identify the amount of DRAM, shared memory, and flash.
Identify contents on flash among different router platforms.
Learn to change hostname.
Learn to disable domain name look-ups.

dir slot0:

Global Configuration

The above commands are not all available on all of the routers in the simulation. Use the ? command to determine the commands available on each router.

Click on the Configuration Lab icon to the right to open the interactive simulation environment window in a new browser window.

To enter commands, activate the simulation environment Telnet window by clicking in it.

To see a list of supported commands at each step of the exercise, you can enter the ? command (type the question mark and press Enter). If you need more help, check the tutorial to review the configuration instructions.
