Task 6: Configure Access to the Network Host
To configure access to the network host:
1 Use the ping command to determine whether the E-series router
can reach the network host.
host1#ping hostname
If the E-series router can reach the network host, go to the next
section. Otherwise, go to step 2.
2 Determine whether a route exists between the E-series router and the
network host.
host1#show ip route
If the appropriate route is displayed, go to step 5. Otherwise, proceed
with step 3.
3 Configure a route to reach the network host.
host1#configure
Configuring from terminal or file [terminal]?
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#ip route ipNetwork networkMask ipNextHop
4 Press <CTRL-Z> to return to Privileged Exec mode.
5 Determine whether the E-series router has been configured to
recognize the network host.
host1#show host
If the network host is listed, go to step 8. Otherwise, proceed with
step 7.
6 Add an entry to the Static Host Table so that the E-series router can
access the network host. The host command allows you to specify
the network host name and IP address.
host1#configure
Configuring from terminal or file [terminal]?
