Operating and Configuring a Cisco IOS Device (20 points)
Write a short paragraph (minimum three college-level sentences) below that summarizes what was accomplished in this lab, what you learned by performing it, how it relates to this week’s TCO’s and other course material; and just as important, how you feel it will benefit you in your academic and professional career. (10 points)
In this lab I used the control line interface (CLI) to increase the number of lines in the history buffers, increased the inactivity timer on the console port, and stopped the attempted name resolution of mistyped commands. I also entered the logging synchronous command to synchronize unsolicited messages and debug privileged EXEC command output with the input from the CLI. Commands like these are helpful with working on Cisco devices.

Copy and Paste the following screenshots from your Operating and Configuring a Cisco IOS Device lab below.
Task 3: Change History Size to 100 lines (5 points)

Task 5: Set the logging synchronous command (5 points)

In this lab I removed any residual configuration from the router by issuing the command "erase start-up config". I then reloaded the router with the "reload" command. When the router came up I had the choice to run the initial setup. Cisco routers can be configured, saved and erased depending on the network situation.

Copy and Paste the following screenshots from your Performing Initial Router Setup lab below.
Task 1: Erase startup-config (5 points)

Task 2: Reload RouterAA’s startup configuration (5 points)
