You will also learn to save configuration files and capture your configurations to a text file. The skills presented in this lab are essential to completing the rest of the labs in this course. However, you may substitute the shorter version, Lab 1.5.2: Basic Router Configuration , if your instructor determines that you are proficient in the essential skills reviewed in this lab.  \nTask 1: Cable the Ethernet Links of the Network.  \nCable the Ethernet links for a network that is similar to the one in the Topology Diagram. The output used in this lab is from Cisco 1841 routers. But you can use any current router in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces as shown in the topology. A simple way to identify the available interfaces on a router is by entering the show ip interface brief command.  \nWhich of the devices in the Topology Diagram require an Ethernet cable between them?  \nStep 1 : Connect the R1 Router to the S1 Switch.  \nUse a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the FastEthernet 0/0 interface of the R1 router to the FastEthernet 0/1 interface on the S1 switch.  \nWhat color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/0 interface on R1?   What color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/1 interface on S1?    \nStep 2: Connect PC1 to the S1 Switch.  \nUse a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the network interface card (NIC) of PC1 to the FastEthernet 0/2 Interface of the S1 switch.  \nWhat color is the link status light next to the NIC interface on PC1?    \nWhat color is the link status light next to the FastEthernet 0/2 interface on S1?    \nIf the link status lights are not green, wait a few moments for the link between the two devices to become established. If the lights do not turn green after a few moments, check that you are using a straightthrough Ethernet cable and that the power is on for the S1 switch and PC1 .  \nStep 3: Connect PC2 to the R2 Router.  \nUse a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the FastEthernet 0/0 interface of the R2 router to the NIC of PC2 . Because there is no switch between PC2 and the R2 router , a crossover cable is required for a direct link between the PC and the router.  \nWhat color is the link status light next to the NIC interface on PC2?    \nWhat color is the link st","cbCaiu1skYJDpmvY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu1skYJDpmvY","pdf",4002931,296,"English","# Learning Objectives\n# Scenario\n# Task 1: Cable the Ethernet Links of the Network.\n## Step 1: Connect the R1 Router to the S1 Switch.\n## Step 2: Connect PC1 to the S1 Switch.\n## Step 3: Connect PC2 to the R2 Router.\n# Task 2: Cable the Serial Link between the R1 and R2 Routers.\n## Step 1: Create a null serial cable to connect the R1 router to the R2 router.","[{\"question\":\"What skills does this lab help you practice after completion?\",\"answer\":\"You practice cabling and console connections, erasing and reloading routers, using basic IOS CLI commands, performing basic router configuration, and verifying results with show commands, ping, and traceroute.
