Lab – Configuring Syslog and NTP

Required Resources

 2 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)

 1 PC (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term, and Syslog

software, such as tftpd32)

 Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports

 Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings, such as the interface IP

addresses, routing, device access, and passwords.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Step 2: Initialize and reload the routers as necessary.

Step 3: Configure basic settings for each router.

a. Disable DNS lookup.

b. Configure the device name.

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. Apply the IP addresses to Serial and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces according to the Addressing Table and

activate the physical interfaces.

i. Set the clock rate to 128000 for the DCE serial interface.

Step 4: Configure routing.

Enable single-area OSPF on the routers with process ID 1. Add all the networks into the OSPF process for

area 0.

Step 5: Configure PC-B.

Configure the IP address and default gateway for PC-B according to the Addressing Table.

Step 6: Verify end-to-end connectivity.

Verify that each device is able to ping every other device in the network successfully. If not, troubleshoot until

there is end-to-end connectivity.

Step 7: Save the running configuration to the startup configuration.
