summary: IOS commands on R1 and interface status
icon: terminal
description: Configuring R1, a Cisco 2901, for CS331 Project 1. Hostname, interface addresses for G0/0 and G0/1, no shutdown, and the show ip interface brief output with both interfaces up/up.
kicker: Project 1 · Router config
hero: Two addresses and no shutdown.
lead: R1 is a Cisco 2901. I configured it from the CLI tab: a hostname, one address per LAN interface, and no shutdown to bring each interface up. Router interfaces are shut down by default.
layers: [1, 2, 3]
chips:
- "Cisco 2901"
- "G0/0 · 199.19.30.1"
- "G0/1 · 199.19.30.65"
- "up/up"

The Config tab shows the same settings per interface:

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
GigabitEthernet0/0 199.19.30.1 YES manual up up
GigabitEthernet0/1 199.19.30.65 YES manual up up
Vlan1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

Status · up · Layer 1#
A cable is connected and the port has not been shut down.
Protocol · up · Layer 2#
The link is working at the data-link layer.
Saving
copy running-config startup-config (or write memory) saves the configuration to NVRAM so it survives a reload. Packet Tracer also stores it inside the .pkt file.
