Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on configuring basic settings on a Cisco router using Cisco Packet Tracer. It is designed for beginners looking to understand fundamental commands and configurations essential for managing Cisco devices.

Step 1: Download and Install Cisco Packet Tracer

• Visit the official Cisco Packet Tracer website: Cisco NetAcad.
• Sign up for an account to access the latest version of Cisco Packet Tracer.
• Download and install the software compatible with your operating system (Windows or Linux).

Step 2: Accessing the Router

• Open Cisco Packet Tracer and create a new project.
• Add a router to your workspace by dragging it from the devices list.
• Click on the router to access its console.

Step 3: Entering Privilege EXEC Mode

• Type the command enable to enter Privilege EXEC mode.
• This mode allows you to access advanced commands needed for configuration.

Step 4: Entering Global Configuration Mode

• Enter the command configure terminal to access Global Configuration mode.
• This is where you will make most of your router configurations.

Step 5: Setting a Hostname

• Change the router's hostname using the command:

  hostname router_saya
  

• This command sets the name of the router to 'router_saya', making it easier to identify.

Step 6: Configuring Password Protection

• To set up password protection for Privilege EXEC mode, use the following commands:
  • For a simple, unencrypted password:

    enable password kunci
    

  • For an encrypted password:

    enable secret kunci
    

• Replace 'kunci' with your desired password. The enable secret command is recommended as it encrypts the password for better security.

Step 7: Setting a Message of the Day (MOTD)

• To display a message upon login, configure a banner using the command:

  banner motd &Your message here&
  

• Replace 'Your message here' with the desired login message. The message should be enclosed in the & symbols.

Step 8: Exiting Configuration Mode

• To exit the current configuration mode, simply type:

  exit
  

• This command will take you back to the previous mode.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to download Cisco Packet Tracer, access a router, set a hostname, configure password protection, and create a MOTD. These foundational skills are crucial for managing Cisco routers effectively. As a next step, consider exploring more advanced configurations or networking concepts to enhance your understanding of Cisco networking.
