CCNA Commands.

IP ROUTING

#sh ip route - To view IP routing tables created on a Cisco router.
-Static Routing- Routers are manually configured for networks that are not directly connected,
to be able to route to all networks via the next-hop interface.
Example- Let 192.168.30.0/24 be the IP of a network not directly connected
Let 192.168.20.2 be the next hop interface
(config)#ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.20.2
-to remove static route
(config)#no ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.20.2
-Default Routing- Used on stub networks only to send packets with remote destination
network not in the routing table to the next hop router.
(Assume IP 192.168.40.1 is not in routing table)
-first remove static route
(config)#no ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.40.1
(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.40.1

-RIP-A distance vector routing protocol that passes complete routing table contents to
neighbouring routers

Example- Let 192.168.10.0 & 192.168.20.0 be directly connected networks of a router
interfaces and 192.168.30.0 be non-directly connected
-first delete all static routes
(config)#no ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.20.2
(config)#router rip
(config-router)#192.168.10.0
(config-router)#192.168.20.0
(config-router)#^z
#

Verifying RIP

1.Sh ip route
2.debug ip
-Holding Down RIP Propagation-To stop RIP update sending but allow its receipt
-say for s0/0 with ip 192.168.10.0
(config)#router rip
(config-router)#network 192.168.10.0
(config-router)#passive-interface serial 0/0
-IGRP-Also a distance routing protocol

Example- Let 192.168.10.0 & 192.168.20.0 be directly connected networks of a router
interfaces with autonomous system number of 10 and 192.168.30.0 be non-directly connected
#router igrp 10
(config-router)#network 192.168.10.0
(config-router)#network 192.168.20.0
(config-router)#^z
#
Verifying IGRP

1.sh ip route
2.sh protocols- Displays routed protocols and their interfaces
3.sh ip protocols- Displays routing protocols configured
4.debug igrp events- Displays summary of IGRP routing information running on the network
5.debug igrp transactions- Displays messages request from neighbour routers
Turning off all possible debugging
#un all
EIGRP-Uses classless routing which is subnet mask information sent with routing protocol
updates.
Example- Let 192.168.10.0 & 192.168.20.0 be directly connected networks of a router
interfaces with autonomous system number of 20 and 192.168.30.0 be non-directly connected
#router eigrp 20
(config-router)#network 192.168.10.0
(config-router)#network 192.168.20.0
(config-router)#^z
To stop EIGRP from working on an interface-no sending no receipt
(config)#router eigrp 20
(config-router)#passive-interface serial 0/0

To enable EIGRP on discontiguos networks(two different sub networks of class full network
connected by another different class full sub network)

Example- Let 172.16.0.0 & 10.0.0.0 be directly connected to a router to another remote
subnetwork of 192.168.10.0, then to enable EIGRP, we use
(config)#router eigrp 100
(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0
(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0
(config-router)#no auto-summary
N.B-The no auto-summary command should be enabled in routers that encloses such
networks.

Verifying EIGRP

1. sh ip route- Shows entire routing table
2. sh ip route eigrp- Shows only EIGRP entries in the routing table
3. ip eigrp neighbours- Shows all EIGRP neighbours
4. ip eigrp topology- Shows entries in the EIGRP topology table

OSPF- A link-state routing protocol
Example- Let 10.0.0.0 be the network directly connected to the router upon which OSPF is to
be enabled; with ospf ID of 1 and area o
(config)#router ospf 1
(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area0

Loopback Interface- They are configured to be used as the routers RID to advertise the routes
and elect DR and BDR.

Example- Let the loopback iinterface be configured on interface with ip 172.16.10.1
(config)#int loopback 0
(config-if)#ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0
(config-if)#no shut
(config-if)#^z

Verifying OSPF Configuration

1. sho ip ospf- Used to display all OSPF information
2. sho ip ospf database- indicates the number of links and neighboring router ID
3. sho ip ospf interface- Displays all OSPF interface related info
4. sho ip ospf neighbour- Summarizes OSPF info about neighbours
5. sho ip protocols- Overview of all present running protocols

Verifying Loopback and RID

1. sho running-config- To verify loopback address
2. sho ip ospf database- Verifies the new RID of each router
3. sho ip ospf interface- Verifies the new RID of each router
