Introduction

This lab runs on a virtualised environment for Cisco IOS called "Dynamips". The method of access to each virtual router is via Telnet to a specific port on the IP of the machine that runs the virtualization platform.

For example:

$ telnet vtp.ws.nsrc.org 2012

The instructor will confirm the name or IP address of the host in this particular workshop.

Login instructions

After executing the telnet command, you will see something like the following:

Trying 10.10.0.241...
Connected to 10.10.0.241. 
Escape character is '^]'. 
Connected to Dynamips VM "C5" (ID 8, type c7200) - Console port

Hit ENTER at this point. Then, if you see this question:

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:

Answer "no".

The router will show some initialization routines, and finally, you will see the default prompt:

Router>

You can then go into privileged mode:

Router> enable 
Router#

And then enter configuration mode:

Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#

And you are ready to start entering configuration statements. When you are done, exit configuration mode by typing end or pressing ctrl-Z and save your changes:

Router(config)# end
Router# write memory
