Steps to Implement :

  1. Connect 5 PC’s to a switch through fast ethernet cables and connect the switch to a router using a Gigabyte ethernet cable.
  2. Assing an IP to all the PC’s i.e
  •  PC 0 – 192.168.1.1
  •     PC 1 – 192.168.1.2
  •     PC 2 – 192.168.1.3
  •     PC 3 – 192.168.1.4
  •     PC 4 – 192.168.1.5

3. Configure the router :

Router>enable
Router# configure terminal 

Router(config)#hostname R1 

R1(config)#interface gig0/1

R1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 

R1(config-if)#exit
R1#configure terminal
R1(config)#line console 0 

R1(config-line)#password cisco

R1(config-line)#login

R1(config-line)#exit

R1(config)#enable password cisco

R1(config)#hostname harsh

harsh(config)#exit

harsh#write

harsh#show startup

another method ,

harsh#show startup

harsh# copy running -config startup -config

when the router starts , it boots up with the file name startup config with all saved configurations .
