Task 6: Configure Access to the Network Host

To configure access to the network host:

1Use the ping command to determine whether the E-series router can reach the network host.

host1#ping hostname

If the E-series router can reach the network host, go to the next section. Otherwise, go to step 2.

2Determine whether a route exists between the E-series router and the network host.

host1#show ip route

If the appropriate route is displayed, go to step 5. Otherwise, proceed with step 3.

3Configure a route to reach the network host.

host1#configure

Configuring from terminal or file [terminal]?

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

host1(config)#ip route ipNetwork networkMask ipNextHop

4Press <CTRL-Z> to return to Privileged Exec mode.

5Determine whether the E-series router has been configured to recognize the network host.

host1#show host

If the network host is listed, go to step 8. Otherwise, proceed with step 7.

6Add an entry to the Static Host Table so that the E-series router can access the network host. The host command allows you to specify the network host name and IP address.

host1#configure

Configuring from terminal or file [terminal]?

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

host1(config)#host hostName ipAddress ftp loginname password

7Press <CTRL-Z> to return to Privileged Exec mode.

8Use the ping command to determine whether the E-series router can now reach the network host.

host1#ping hostname
