Scenario
In this lab, you will begin by loading configuration scripts on each of the routers. These scripts contain
errors that will prevent end-to-end communication across the network. You will need to troubleshoot each
router to determine the configuration errors, and then use the appropriate commands to correct the
configurations. When you have corrected all of the configuration errors, all of the hosts on the network
should be able to communicate with each other.

Corrected Script:
hostname BRANCH
!
!
no ip domain-lookup
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 172.20.1.129 255.255.255.128
duplex auto
speed auto
no shutdown
!
interface Serial0/0/0
ip address 172.20.1.1 255.255.255.128
clock rate 64000
no shutdown
!
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.20.0.2
!
line con 0
line vty 0 4
password cisco
login
!
end
The errors in the student scripts are as follows:
The destination address in the default route is incorrect. The correct command is ip route
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.20.1.2

If there are any problems with the status of the interfaces, record any commands that will be necessary to
correct the configuration errors.
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
Step 3: If you have recorded any commands above, apply them to the router configuration now.
Step 4: View summary of the status information.
If any changes were made to the configuration in the previous step, view the summary of the status
information for the router interfaces again.
Does the information in the interface status summary indicate any configuration errors? _______ no
If the answer is yes, troubleshoot the interface status of the interfaces again.
Step 5: Troubleshoot the static routing configuration on the BRANCH router.
Begin by viewing the routing table.
What routes are shown in the routing table?
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
172.20.1.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0
172.20.1.128 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
Are there any problems with the routing table?
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
The static default route to the HQ router is missing from the routing table because the destination address
in the ip route statement is incorrect.
If there are any problems with the routing table, record any commands that will be necessary to correct
the configuration errors.
___________________________________________________________________________________

Step 7: View routing information.
If any changes were made to the configuration in the previous step, view routing table again.
Does the information in the routing table indicate any configuration errors? _______ no
If the answer is yes, troubleshoot the routing table again.
Step 8: Attempt to ping between the hosts again.
From the host PC1, is it possible to ping PC2? _______ no
From the host PC1, is it possible to ping the web server on the ISP LAN? _______ no
From the host PC1, is it possible to ping the Serial 0/0/0 interface of HQ? _______ yes

From the Web Server on the ISP LAN, is it possible to ping the default gateway? _______ yes
Step 2: Examine the ISP router to find possible configuration errors.
Begin by viewing the summary of status information for each interface on the router.
Are there any problems with the status of the interfaces?
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
The FastEthernet0/0 interface is administratively down.
If there are any problems with the status of the interfaces, record any commands that will be necessary to
correct the configuration errors.
