Task 1: Observe and Examine the Router Startup Process
Step 1: Connect and set up the router
a. Referring to the topology diagram, connect the console (or rollover) cable to the console port on the router and the other cable end to the host computer with a DB-9 or DB-25 adapter to the COM 1 port.
Ensure that power has been applied to both the host computer and router.
b. Establish a HyperTerminal or other terminal emulation program connection to the router.
Step 2: Restart the router and observe the output
a. From the privileged EXEC prompt, issue the reload command. Confirm the reload when prompted.
b. Observe the output as the router restarts.
Output similar to this will be displayed.

Step 3: Examine the router startup output
The startup process has three stages:
a. Performing the POST and loading the bootstrap program
Examine the output displayed. Look at the highlighted section in the sample output in this lab that relates to the POST. Mark any differences between your observed output and this sample.
What are possible reasons for these differences?______ OS yang berbeda file, perangkat yang berbeda, dll
What does the POST test in the router?_________ Hardware
If the POST is successful, what is loaded into RAM?_________ The bootstrap program
What is the purpose of what is loaded into RAM?______ Locate the Cisco IOS and load it intobRAM
What would happen if the POST is unsuccessful, and what could this mean?
IOS tidak akan memuat dan router tidak akan berjalan
b. Locating and loading the IOS software
Examine the displayed output. Look at the sample output in this lab that relates to the IOS loading.
Mark any differences between your observed output and this sample.
What are possible reasons for these differences?______ OS yang berbeda file, perangkat yang berbeda, dll
What are the three possible locations of the IOS?_____Flash memory, TFTP server, lokasi yang ditentukan di file konfigurasi startup (lokasi jaringan)
How is the IOS location to be used specified?_________ Konfigurasi nilai register
The confreg program is available to decode configuration register values. It can be downloaded from
Academy Connection Tools. From Tools, select the CCNA Curriculum (not CCNA Discovery or CCNA
Exploration), and then select any v3.1 course. Click Cisco Configuration Register Decoder to
download the program.
After it is installed and executed, the program displays the binary and hexadecimal values of the
register that set the different router startup sequences and console communications.
What will be the result if an IOS image cannot be located and loaded?_____ Modus ROMON dimasukkan
c. Locating and executing the startup configuration file or entering setup mode
Examine the displayed output. Look at the sample output in this lab that relates to the startup
configuration loading. Mark any differences between your observed output and this sample.
What are possible reasons for these differences?_______OS yang berbeda file, perangkat yang berbeda, dll.
What is the output if the router does not have a configuration to load?______— System Configuration Dialog —
Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
What is displayed if a startup configuration is loaded?_____ User EXEC prompt
Step 4: Clean up
Erase the configurations and reload the router. Disconnect and store the cabling. For PC hosts that are
normally connected to other networks (such as the school LAN or to the Internet), delete the IOS image file from the TFTP directory, reconnect the appropriate cabling, and restore the TCP/IP settings.
Task 2: Reflection / Challenge
Prepare a troubleshooting checklist based on the router startup stages and the hardware and software
features associated with each stage. Format the checklist so that if it is noted that a stage was unsuccessful, the possible problems can be readily identified. For example, for “IOS not loaded” enter “ROMON prompt displayed.” Prepare a second checklist listing possible router faults or problems. For example, “no cooling fan sound,” “LEDs not illuminated or showing unusual behavior,” or “unexpected ROMON prompt displayed.” For each problem listed, enter the stage of the router startup process that failed.
