Objectives
Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings
Part 2: Configure NTP
Part 3: Configure Syslog
Background / Scenario
Syslog messages that are generated by the network devices can be collected and archived on a syslog
server. The information can be used for monitoring, debugging, and troubleshooting purposes. The
administrator can control where the messages are stored and displayed. Syslog messages can be time-
stamped for analysis of the sequence of network events; therefore, it is important to synchronize the clock
across the network devices with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
In this lab, you will configure R1 as the NTP server and R2 as a Syslog and NTP client. The syslog server
application, such as Tftp32d or other similar program, will be running on PC-B. Furthermore, you will control
the severity level of log messages that are collected and archived on the syslog server.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure,
contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.
