Final Configuration of Basic configuration CISCO Route

Giving a description of the interface is very important to help users of information relating to the interface, especially for large-scale networks is very important provision of this description.
Description will also appear in the configuration file, although giving a description will not give any influence to the system.

To configure an interface description, enter global config. Then go into interface config by using a command like the following description:

- Use the configure terminal command to enter global config- Enter the interface to be configured, eg interface ethernet 0- Enter a description, for example, XYZ Network, Building 18- Use Ctrl-Z to exit interface config and return to privileged EXEC mode- Use the command copy running-config startup-config command to save configuration changes to NVRAMHere is an example of interface descriptions:
interface ethernet 0description Engineering LAN, Bldg.2interface serial 0description ABC network 1, Circuit 1
Login bannerIs the message that appears at login. Login banners can be used to convey a message to all users. For example a message "Welcome" as a welcome message for users who log into the router.

Configuring message-of-the-day (MOTD)Enter global config to configure the MOTD banner. Use the banner motd command, followed by a space and the separator character such as a pound sign (#). As the example below:- Use the configure terminal command to enter global config- Enter the command banner motd # #- Perform the command copy running-config startup-config command to save the changes Image

Host name resolutionIs the process by which computer systems use a hostname with an IP address. To use the hostname of communication with other IP devices, networking equipment like routers have IP addresses and associated with. Cisco IOS maintains a cache mapping from name to address with the command EXEC. The speed of the cache affects the speed of the conversion of names to addresses.Hostname here is different from the DNS, where hostname is the name of the router.

Configure hostname tableTo configure the hostname table, first enter global config command ip host followed by the destination IP address. To test connectivity to the host using telnet or ping command followed by the IP address of the destination. The procedure to configure the host table as follows:- Go to the config global- Enter the command ip host followed by the name of the router or the destination router's IP address- Repeat above steps until all the routers can be called- Save configuration to NVRAM
Backup configuration filesConfiguration should be stored and backed up for later if there are problems with the system. Configurations can be stored on a network server (TFTP server) or a disk stored safely somewhere.To save a configuration that is the path to the TFTP server use the command copy running-config tftp, such as the following steps- Type the command copy running-config tftp- Enter the IP address of the TFTP server- Enter the name of the configuration file- Answer yes to confirmationConfiguration file stored on a network server can be used to configure the router. To do so in the following way:- Use the command copy tftp running-config- Select the configuration file that would put into the router. Then enter the IP address of the remote host where TFTP server is located- Enter the name of the configuration file or use the default name. The default name is hostname-config file for host and network-config to the network configuration file. Example file name: router.cfgTo save the configuration to disk, by means of capture and store the text on the router.
