GNS3 Commands:
Configuring interfaces on R0
R0(config)#interface s0/0
R0(config-if)#ip address 12.12.12.1 255.255.255.0
R0(config-if)#no shutdown
R0(config-if)#interface lo0
R0(config-if)#ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
R0(config-if)#exit
Configuring interfaces on R1
R0(config)#interface s0/0
R0(config-if)#ip address 12.12.12.2 255.255.255.0
R0(config-if)#no shutdown
R0(config-if)#interface lo0
R0(config-if)#ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.0.0
R0(config-if)#exit
Now if we check the routing table of R0 & R1 by the command show ip route on both
R0 and R1
On R0:
R0# show ip route
R1# show ip route
Configuring static route on R0
R0(config)#ip route 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 12.12.12.2
Configuring static route on R1
R1(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 12.12.12.1
To start router configuration type command:
configure terminal
Option 1: DHCP
If using DHCP, configure R1 as follows:
R1# configure terminal
R1(config)# interface FastEthernet 0/0
R1(config-if)# ip address dhcp
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# end
R1#
Result: An IP address is allocated to the router by the DHCP server:
R1#
*Mar 1 00:03:14.831: %DHCP-6-ADDRESS_ASSIGN: Interface FastEthernet0/0 assigned
DHCP address 192.168.1.29, mask 255.255.255.0, hostname R1
Option_2:_Manual_configuration
If configuring static IP address, configure R1 with an IP address in the same
subnet as your local PC:
R1# configure terminal
R1(config)# interface FastEthernet 0/0
R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.123 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# exit
Configure a default gateway:
R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.249
R1(config)# end
Ping the router�s default gateway:
R1# ping 192.168.1.249
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.249, timeout is 2 seconds:
.!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 8/17/36 ms
R1#
Result Pings should succeed.
Ensure that the router is configured to use the correct DNS server:
R1# configure terminal
R1(config)# ip domain-lookup
R1(config)# ip name-server 8.8.8.8
R1(config)# end
R1#
Ping google.com:
R1# ping google.com
