List the five steps of basic router configuration.

What will be an ideal response?


When you set up a router, you must configure every port on the router properly to talk to its connected network IDs, and you must make sure the routing table sends packets to where you want them to go. There are five general steps.
Step 1: Setting up the WAN side. To start, you need to know the network IDs for each side of your router.
Step 2: Set Up the LAN. You need to choose a network ID, almost always some arbitrarily chosen private range unless you do not want to use NAT.
Step 3: Establish Routes. Most routers are pretty smart and use the information you provided for the two interfaces to build a routing table automatically.
Step 4 (Optional): Configure a Dynamic Protocol: The rules for using any dynamic routing protocol are fairly straightforward.
Step 5: Document and Back Up. Once you've configured your routes, take some time to document what you've done.
