Lab Access Instructions
=======================

Introduction
------------

This lab runs on a virtualised environment for Cisco IOS called "Dynamips". 

To join the network which the lab environment is on, associate your laptop with the wireless network called **NSRC-PFS**. The password for this network is **888888888** - this is ten times the number **8**.

The method of access to each virtual router is via Telnet to a specific port on the IP of the machine that runs the virtualization platform.

For example:

  $ telnet 10.10.0.241 2012

Login instructions
------------------

After executing the telnet command, you will see something like the following:

  Trying 10.10.0.241...
  Connected to 10.10.0.241. 
  Escape character is '^]'. 
  Connected to Dynamips VM "R32" (ID 8, type c7200) - Console port


Hit ENTER at this point. Then, if you see this question:


  Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:


Answer "no".

The router will show some initialization routines, and finally, you will see the default prompt:


  Router>


You can then go into privileged mode:


  Router> enable 
  Router#


And then enter configuration mode:


  Router# configure terminal
  Router(config)#


And you are ready to start entering configuration statements. When you are done, exit configuration mode by typing *end* or pressing *ctrl-Z* and save your changes:


  Router(config)# end
  Router# write memory
