Before starting a Cisco hands-on lab that makes use of either a Cisco router or switch, ensure that the devices in use have been erased and have no startup configurations present. Otherwise, the results of your lab may be unpredictable. This lab provides a detail procedure for initializing and reloading a Cisco router and a Cisco switch.
Required Resources
• 1 Router (Cisco 4331 with Cisco IOS software or comparable)
• 1 Switch (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS software or comparable)
• 2 PCs (Windows with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
• Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
Reflection: Five commands to remember
1. Console into the router and enter privileged EXEC mode using the enable command.
2. Type the erase startup-config command to remove the startup configuration from nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM).
3. the reload command to remove an old configuration from memory. When prompted to Proceed with reload, press Enter to confirm the reload.
4. Use the show flash command to determine if any VLANs have been created on the switch.
5. If the vlan.dat file was found in flash, then delete this file by using the delete vlan.dat
