ELEC 99.08ELEC 99.08IOS Configuration Commands


Configuration TopicsConfiguration Topics• Configuration file• Ways to enter a config file to the router• IOS configuration commands• Additive editing


Configuration FileConfiguration File• Just a text file• Text instructions are interpreted by the EXEC.• Loaded to RAM• Changes in the config file take place

instantaneously. No reboot or other process is required.


Configuration FileConfiguration File• Commands may be entered in any order; the

IOS will place the commands in the correct position in the config file.

• Editing is additive. More about this later...


Config may be entered fromConfig may be entered from• NVRAM This is the default at reload or cold start. Also:

– rtr#config memory

– rtr#copy start run

• Setup Mode dialog– rtr#setup

• TFTP server– rtr#config network

– rtr#copy tftp run

• Terminal (con0, aux0, vty0 4)– rtr#config terminal

Interface Config - PracticeInterface Config - Practice• Try it now with Router e-Sim:• show interface e0 and note:

– is the interface UP and UP?– is an IP address shown?

• Enter interface config mode for Ethernet 0.• Enter the following commands:

• then show int e0 and note the effects of your configuration

hayward(config)#int eohayward(config-if)#ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0 hayward(config-if)#desc This is the Hayward LANhayward(config-if)#no shuthayward(config)#exithayward#exit


Global config: changing to Line ConfigGlobal config: changing to Line Config• line con 0

– selects the line to be configured– format: line vty 0 4 (substitute con 0 or aux 0 as appropriate)

– prompt gives no indication of the current line being configured.

oak#conf toak(config)#line con 0oak(config-line)#


Line Config CommandsLine Config Commands• login

Additional Line Config CommandAdditional Line Config Command• logging synchronous

– prevents system messages from interrupting your typing input in the middle of a line

– add to console line

– format: logging synchronous

oak#conf toak(config)#line con 0oak(config-line)logging synchronousoak(config-line)#


Additional Line Config CommandAdditional Line Config Command• logging synchronous

– Router e-Sim doesn’t understand this command, so you can’t practice with it.

– Useful in in your real config files.

Router Config - PracticeRouter Config - Practice• Try it now with Router e-Sim:• show run and note whether RIP has been set as the dynamic routing

protocol• Enter line router config mode• Enter the following commands:

• then show run and note the effects of your configuration

hayward(config)#router riphayward(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0hayward(config-router)#network 192.168.3.0hayward(config-router)#exithayward(config)#exithayward#exit


““No” CommandsNo” Commands• To remove or reverse any command, type the command

again, preceded by no

oak#conf toak(config)#no router ripoak(config)#


““No” Command - PracticeNo” Command - Practice• Try it now with Router e-Sim:• show run and note whether RIP has been set as the dynamic routing

protocol• Enter global config mode• Enter the following commands:

• then show run and note whether RIP has been deleted

hayward(config)#no router riphayward(config)#exithayward#sh ru


““No” Command - PracticeNo” Command - Practice

• Earlier, you set the ethernet 0 – IP address and subnet mask– description

• Now try using the no command to remove them.

hayward(config)#int e0hayward(config-if)#no ip addresshayward(config-if)#no deschayward(config-if)#exithayward(config)#exithayward#sh ru

• Answer:


Additive EditingAdditive Editing

• New commands add to the file and replace like commands only.

• Other commands remain in the config.• Even if you load an entire config file to RAM, old

commands not included in the new config file will remain in RAM.

• Confusion and problems can result.• Principle: Start clean to be sure:

– erase start, reload
