05(a) Configuring a Serial Connection

Student Name: Roll No:

Objective
Configure a serial interface on each of two routers so they can communicate. Background/Preparation Any router that meets the interface requirements may be used. Possible routers include 800, 1600, 1700, 2500, 2600 routers, or a combination. Start a HyperTerminal session as performed in the Establishing a HyperTerminal session lab. Note: Go to the erase and reload instructions at the end of this lab. Perform those steps on all routers in this lab assignment before continuing. Step 1 Basic Router Configuration a. Configure the router. Connect the routers as shown in the diagram. This lab requires a null serial cable and two rollover or console cables Step 2 Configure the name and passwords for Router 1 a. On Router 1, enter the global configuration mode and configure the hostname as shown in the chart.

b. Configure the console, virtual terminal and enable passwords. Step 3 Configure serial interface Serial 0 From global configuration mode, configure serial interface Serial 0 on Router GAD. Refer to Interface Summary. GAD(config)#interface serial 0 GAD(config-if)#ip address 192.168.15.1 255.255.255.0 GAD(config-if)#clock rate 56000 GAD(config-if)#no shutdown GAD(config-if)#exit GAD(config)#exit Note: Once the interface configuration mode is entered, note the IP address of the interface. Enter the subnet mask. Enter the clock rate only on the DCE side of the device. The command no shutdownturns on the interface. Shutdown is when the interface is off. Step 4 Save the running configuration Save the running configuration to the startup configuration at the privileged EXEC mode: GAD#copy running-config startup-config Note: Save the running configuration for the next time that the router is restarted. The router can be restarted either by a software reload command or a power shutdown. The running configuration will be lost if the running configuration is not saved. The router uses the startup configuration when the router is started. Step 5 Display information about Serial interface 0 on GAD a. Enter the command show interface serial 0 on GAD. Refer to interface chart. GAD#show interface serial 0 Hardware is HD64570 Internet address is 192.168.15.1/24 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 128 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec) Last input never, output never, output hang never Last clearing of "show interface" counters never Input queue: 0/75/0 (size/max/drops); Total output drops: 0

This will show the details of interface serial 0. b. List at least three details discovered by issuing this command. c. Serial 0 is ___________________. Line protocol is___________________ d. Internet address is _____________________. e. Encapsulation _________________________ f. To what OSI layer is the Encapsulation referring? _______________________________ g. If the Serial interface was configured, why did the show interface serial 0 say that the interface is down? __________________________________________________________________________ Step 6 Configure the name and passwords for Router 2 a. On the Birmingham router, enter the global configuration mode. Configure hostname, console, virtual terminal and enable passwords as shown in the previous chart.

Step 7 Configure serial interface Serial 0 From the global configuration mode, configure serial interface Serial 0 on Router BHM. Refer to interface chart. BHM(config)#interface serial 0 BHM(config-if)#ip address 192.168.15.2 255.255.255.0 BHM(config-if)#no shutdown BHM(config-if)#exit BHM(config)#exit Step 8 Save the running configuration Save the running configuration to the startup configuration at the privileged EXEC mode: BHM#copy running-config startup-config Step 9 Display information about Serial interface 0 on BHM a. Enter the command show interface serial 0 on BHM. Refer to interface chart. BHM#show interface serial 0 Serial2/0 is up, line protocol is down (disabled) Hardware is HD64570 Internet address is 192.168.15.2/24 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 128 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec) Last input never, output never, output hang never Last clearing of "show interface" counters never Input queue: 0/75/0 (size/max/drops); Total output drops: 0 Queueing strategy: weighted fair Output queue: 0/1000/64/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops) Conversations 0/0/256 (active/max active/max total) Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated) Available Bandwidth 96 kilobits/sec 5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec

This will show the details of interface serial 0. b. List at least three details discovered by issuing this command. c. Serial 0 is ___________________, line protocol is ___________________ d. Internet address is ___________________ e. Encapsulation ___________________ f. What is the difference in the Line and Protocol status recorded on GAD earlier? Why? __________________________________________________________________________ Step 10 Verify that the serial connection is functioning a.ping the serial interface of the other router. BHM#ping 192.168.15.1 GAD#ping 192.168.15.2 b. From GAD, ping the BHM router serial interface. Does the ping work? ________yes_________ c. From BHM, ping the GAD router serial interface. Does the ping work? _________yes________ d. If the answer is no for either question, troubleshoot the router configurations to find the error. Then ping the interfaces again until the answer to both questions is yes. Upon completion of the previous steps, logoff by typing exit. Turn the router off. Remove and store the cables and adapter.
