In this blog, we will discuss about how you can Configure a Cisco Router. Router, an essential network device that connects two or more packet-switched networks or subnetworks, is something that every network engineer must become familiar with.
Cisco routers are world-famous for their advanced analytics, application optimization, automated provisioning, and integrated security capabilities that deliver users with a complete and proven solution.
There are different types of routers to serve these two primary functions, such as a wireless router and a wired router. Also, many specialized types of routers serve specific functions like a core router, edge router, and virtual router.
It uses an ethernet cable to connect to a modem. A wireless router converts packets from binary code into radio signals and then wirelessly broadcasts them using antennae. Wireless routers create WLANs that connect multiple devices using wireless communication.
Wired routers are similar to wireless routers that use an ethernet cable to connect to a modem. They create LANs using separate cables to connect to one or more devices within the network and then to the Internet.
After reading this article, you would be able to do some basic configurations on a router manufactured by Cisco. To perform and explain the configurations on a router, we will use Packet Tracer Network Simulator software provided officially by Cisco. You can practice these commands by installing Packet Tracer in your devices or using a real Cisco router. There is no difference between both methods as long as your selected simulator contains the commands we are using in this tutorial.
We have now covered the steps to configure a Cisco router and various other things related to Cisco Routers. Finally, installing a Cisco router may appear to be a difficult task, particularly for people who are new to networking or have limited technical understanding. However, with the appropriate approach and understanding, it is possible to turn it into a manageable work. We hope you were able to understand how to configure a router in Cisco Packet Tracer.
Hello, I'm learning how to network so I put together a packet tracer configurations. I'm not sure if i'm doing this right if someone can take a look. I think my configuration should take me out to the internet but I might be missing something. Thanks!
I opened up Packet tracer and configured SSH on a switch (2960) and logged to that switch from a PC. SSH was working. But when I see the running config, no ssh or crypto key configurations could be found in the running config. All the user name + passwords, domain name, Host name could be found.
In some cases there can be hundreds of inside local addresses and at the same time your Global IP Addresses can be limited. At this time you can use PAT instead of Static and Dynamic NAT translation. Here, we will learn PAT Configuration with Cisco Packet tracer.
Firstly we identify the interfaces as inside and outside as before static and dynamic NAT configurations. Here, we will use the same topology like Dynamic NAT configuration article. Because, for PAT configuration, we need a small change on the configuration.
Here, any match interface with access-list 10, will be translated with overload to the outgoing interface IP address of Router 1. The secret key word of PAT configuration is overload.
