Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.
Required Resources
2 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)
2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
Ethernet cables as shown in the topology
Part 1: Build the Network
Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.
Step 2: Initialize and reload the routers and switches.
Step 3: Configure basic settings for each router.
a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure device name as shown in the topology.
c. Encrypt plain text passwords.
d. Create a message of the day (MOTD) banner warning users that unauthorized access is prohibited.
e. Assign class as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password.
f. Assign cisco as the console and vty password and enable login.
g. Set console logging to synchronous mode.
h. Save your configuration.
Part 2: Configure the ISP Router
In Part 2, you configure the ISP router with PPPoE parameters for connection from the Cust1 router.
Note: Many of the ISP router PPPoE configuration commands are beyond the scope of the course; however,
they are necessary for completion of the lab. They can be copied and pasted into the ISP router at the global
configuration mode prompt.
a. Create a local database username Cust1 with a password of ciscopppoe.
ISP(config)# username Cust1 password ciscopppoe
b. Create a pool of addresses that will be assigned to customers.
ISP(config)# ip local pool PPPoEPOOL 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.10
c. Create the Virtual Template and associate the IP address of G0/1 with it. Associate the Virtual Template
with the pool of addresses. Configure CHAP to authenticate customers.
ISP(config)# interface virtual-template 1
ISP(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.254 255.255.255.0
ISP(config-if)# mtu 1492
ISP(config-if)# peer default ip address pool PPPoEPOOL
ISP(config-if)# ppp authentication chap callin
ISP(config-if)# exit
