Viewing Host Table Entries

Description: An exercise to get familiar to the host table. Host tables can be used to set names for commonly used IP addresses, which helps with troubleshooting.

Instructions:

1. Connect to router1 and set hostname to cairo

2. Enter into global configuration mode of router1

3. Set IP address of Serial 0 as 196.20.32.15 and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and enable its interface

4. Configure to router2 and set hostname to sairo

5. Enter into global configuration mode of router2

6. Set IP address of Serial 0 as 196.20.32.10 and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and enable its interface

7. Exit interface mode

8. Set a host table entry for cairo using the IP address 195.20.32.15 which avoids you to type cairo‘s Serial 0 IP address every time you ping it from sairo

9. Now ping cairo ’s Serial 0 IP address from sairo just by typing ping cairo

10. Now enter “show hosts” command to verify that the entry is stored in the router’s host table
