Scenario
Inthislabactivity,youwilllearnhowtoconfiguretheroutingprotocolEIGRPusingthe
networkshownintheTopologyDiagram.AloopbackaddresswillbeusedontheR2routerto
simulateaconnectiontoanISP,wherealltrafficthatisnotdestinedforthelocalnetworkwillbe

Step2:Clearanyexistingconfigurationsontherouters.

Task2:PerformBasicRouterConfigurations.
PerformbasicconfigurationoftheR1,R2,andR3routersaccordingtothefollowingguidelines:
1. Configuretherouterhostname.
2. DisableDNSlookup.
3. ConfigureanEXECmodepassword.
4. Configureamessageofthedaybanner.
5. Configureapasswordforconsoleconnections.
6. ConfigureapasswordforVTYconnections.

Task3:ConfigureandActivateSerialandEthernetAddresses.
Step1:ConfiguretheinterfacesontheR1,R2,andR3routers.
