Networking Router CMD

1. Initial Router Configuration (Cisco C8200-1N-4T)

To configure the Cisco C8200-1N-4T router initially, perform the following setup steps:

 Step 1: Download the latest version of Putty for configuration.

 Step 2: Connect the console wire to the device. Then navigate on Windows via: Windows + X →
Device Driver → Ports → COM3 (or the relevant connected port).
 Step 3: Open Putty, select the serial connection line, and enter the command line interface.
 Reference: For detailed guidance, you can visit the "Get started with Cisco network lessons"
website.

First-Time Login & Basic Commands

Sequence of initial IOS commands for device setup:

Step Command Description / Notes

1 enable Enter privileged EXEC mode
2 password Enter password if required
3 conf t Enter global configuration mode
(configure terminal)
4 hostname MyRouter Set the router device name to
'MyRouter'
5 enable secret 12345678910 Set an encrypted administrative
privilege password
6 line console 0 Enter console line configuration
mode
7 password 12345678910 Set the password for console
access
8 login Enable password checking on
login
9 exit Exit line configuration mode
10 write memory Save the current running
configuration to NVRAM

2. Interface State Management (Up / Down)

Guidelines for changing interface administrative status (e.g., using GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 as an
example):

Enabling an Interface (Bringing it UP)

Agar interface administratively down ha tou usko active (up) krne ke liye enable command use krein:
 MyRouter# conf t
MyRouter(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
MyRouter(config-if)# no shutdown
MyRouter(config-if)# exit

Disabling an Interface (Administrative Down)

Aur agar working interface ko administratively down krne ke liye shutdown commands use krein:

MyRouter# conf t
MyRouter(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
MyRouter(config-if)# shutdown
MyRouter(config-if)# exit

3. IP Address Configuration & Verification

Verify status and assign IP addresses using the console connection and attached cable:
 View current interface statuses and IPs briefly: show ip interface brief (Means jo interface up ha wo
use krenga).
Manual IP Assignment Structure:

en
show ip interface brief
conf t
interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/0
ip address [Link] [Link]
no shutdown
exit
end
write memory (or: copy running-config startup-config)

Note: Ab ethernet cable ke through command prompt (cmd) mein target IP address ko ping krke check
kr sakte hain. Ping automatically aur manually dono tareeqo se ho sakta ha.

4. Automated IP Ping Setup (DHCP) vs Manual

Method A: Automatically via DHCP Service

To dynamically serve IPs to a local LAN (excluding a specific gateway range):

conf t
ip dhcp excluded-address [Link] [Link]
ip dhcp pool LAN
network [Link] [Link]
default-router [Link] (ye wo wala IP address karna jis port par cisco
attached ha)
dns-server [Link]
exit
 interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
ip address [Link] [Link]
no shutdown
end

Method B: Manually Configured Client IP

To manually adjust or verify endpoints IP settings on a Windows workstation:

Control Panel → Network and Sharing Center → Change adapter settings →

Ethernet → Properties → Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) → Properties →
Change IP options → OK
