Inside the Router
4
Routers are Computers
• Routers have many of the same hardware and software components
that are found in other computers including:
– CPU
– RAM
– ROM
– Operating System
5
Routers are Computers
Routers are at the network center• A router connects multiple networks. This means that it has multiple interfaces
that each belong to a different IP network.
• Each network that a router connects to typically requires a separate interface.
These interfaces are used to connect a combination of both Local Area
Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs).
6
Routers are Computers
Routers determine the best path
• The primary responsibility of a router is to direct packets destined for
local and remote networks by:
– Determining the best path to send packets
– Forwarding packets toward their destination

Router as a Computer
• Describe the basic purpose of a router
– Computers that specialize in sending packets over
the data network. They are responsible for
interconnecting networks by selecting the best path
for a packet to travel and forwarding packets to
their destination
• Routers are the network center
– Routers generally have 2 connections:
• WAN connection (Connection to ISP)
• LAN connection
Not common:
• PSTN connection
• …
12
Evolution of Routers
• Multiprotocol devices providing pure data delivery with
minimal access control and QoS.
• Intelligent Network Services, this allowed us to provide
security capabilities like integrated firewall and encryption.
• Integrated voice and data capabilities, allowing routers to
provide voice gateway features for IP telephony.
• Today the router is an integrated platform for providing
advanced services in security, content delivery, and voice.

CPU - Executes operating system instructions
Random access memory (RAM) - Contains the running copy of configuration file. Stores routing table. RAM contents lost when power is off
Read-only memory (ROM) - Holds diagnostic software used when router is powered up. Stores the router’s bootstrap program.
Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) - Stores startup configuration. This may include IP addresses (Routing protocol, Hostname of router)
Flash memory - Contains the operating system (Cisco IOS)
Interfaces - There exist multiple physical interfaces that are used to connect network. Examples of interface types:
• Ethernet / FastEthernet interfaces
• Serial interfaces
• Management interfaces

Internetwork Operating System
• Cisco IOS manages the hardware and software resources
of the router, including memory allocation, processes,
security, and file systems. Cisco IOS is a multitasking
operating system that is integrated with routing, switching,
internetworking, and telecommunications functions.
• Cisco creates many different types of IOS images,
depending upon the model of the router and the features
within the IOS.
• The command line interface (CLI) is a much more common
method of configuring Cisco routers.
20
Router Boot-up Process
Bootup Process• There are four major phases to the bootup process:
1. Performing the POST
2. Loading the bootstrap program
3. Locating and loading the Cisco IOS software
4. Locating and loading the startup configuration file or entering setup mode

Router Boot-up Process
• Verify the router boot-up process:
– The show version command is used to view
information about the router during the bootup
process. Information includes:
Platform model number
Image name & IOS version
Bootstrap version stored in ROM
Image file name & where it was loaded from
Number & type of interfaces
Amount of NVRAM
Amount of flash
Configuration register
24

Verifying Router Bootup Process
• The show version command can be used to help verify and
troubleshoot some of the basic hardware and software components of
the router.
25
Router Interfaces
• Router Interface is a physical connector that enables a
router to send or receive packets
• Each interface connects to a separate network
• Consist of socket or jack found on the outside of a router
• Types of router interfaces:
– Fixed
– Modular
26
Router Interfaces
• Two major groups of Router Interfaces
– LAN Interfaces:
Are used to connect router to
LAN network
Has a layer 2 MAC address
Can be assigned a Layer 3 IP
address
Usually consist of an RJ-45 jack
– WAN Interfaces
Are used to connect routers to external networks that
interconnect LANs.
Depending on the WAN technology, a layer 2 address may
be used.
Uses a layer 3 IP address
27
Router Interfaces
28
Routers and the Network Layer
• The main purpose of a router is to connect multiple networks and forward
packets destined either for its own networks or other networks.
• A router is considered a Layer 3 device because its primary forwarding
decision is based on the information in the Layer 3 IP packet, specifically the
destination IP address. This process is known as routing.
29
Routers and the Network Layer
• Routers Operate at Layers 1, 2, and 3
30
CLI Configuration and Addressing
31
Implementing Basic Addressing Schemes
• When designing a new network or mapping an existing
network, document the network. At a minimum, the
documentation should include a topology diagram that
indicates the physical connectivity and an addressing table
that lists all of the following information:
– Device names
– Interfaces used in the design
– IP addresses and subnet masks
– Default gateway addresses for end devices, such as
PCs

– Issue the show running-config command
– Save the basic router configuration by Issuing the
copy running-config startup-config command
• Additional commands that will enable you to further verify router
configuration are:
show running-config - Displays configuration currently in RAM
show startup-config - Displays configuration file NVRAM
show ip route - Displays routing table
show interfaces - Displays all interface configurations
show ip interface brief - Displays abbreviated interface
configuration information
37
Building the Routing Table
38
Introducing the Routing Table
• The primary function of a router is to forward a packet
toward its destination network, which is the destination IP
address of the packet.
• Routing Table is stored in RAM and contains information
about:
Directly connected networks - this occurs when a device
is connected to another router interface
Remotely connected networks - this is a network that is
not directly connected to a particular router
Detailed information about the networks include source
of routing information, Network address & subnet mask,
and ip address of next-hop router, exit interface
• show ip route command is used to view a routing table
39
Introducing the Routing Table
• Directly Connected Routes
• Static Routes
• Dynamic Routes
40
Directly-Connected Networks
• Once the interface is "up," the network of that interface is
added to the routing table as a directly connected network.
41
Static Routing
• Static routes in the routing table
– Includes: network address and subnet mask and IP
address of next hop router or exit interface
– Denoted with the code S in the routing table
– Routing tables must contain directly connected
networks used to connect remote networks before static
or dynamic routing can be used
• When to use static routes
– When network only consists of a few routers
– Network is connected to internet only through one ISP
– Hub-and-spoke topology is used on a large network
42
Static Routing
43
Dynamic Routing
• Dynamic routing protocols are used by routers to share information
about the reachability and status of remote networks. Dynamic routing
protocols perform several activities, including:
– Network discovery
– Updating and maintaining
routing tables
44
Dynamic Routing
• Dynamic routing features:
– Automatic Network Discovery: allows the routers to automatically
learn about these networks from other routers.
– Maintaining Routing Tables: automatically share routing information
with other routers and compensate for any topology changes
without involving the network administrator.
• IP Routing Protocols:
– RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
– IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)
– EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)
– OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
– IS-IS (Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System)
– BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)
45
Routing Table Principles
• 3 principles regarding routing tables:
Every router makes its decisions alone, based on the information it
has in its routing table.
One router’s information in the routing table may not be the same
as another router’s routing table.
Routing information about a path to a network does not provide
information on how to return to the original network.

Path Determination
and Switching Functions
51
Packet Fields and Frame Fields
• Internet Protocol (IP) packet format contains fields that provide information
about the packet and the sending and receiving hosts
• Fields that are importance for CCNA students:
– Destination IP address
– Source IP address
– Version & TTL
– IP header length
– Precedence & type of service
– Packet length
52
Packet Fields and Frame Fields
• MAC Layer Frame Format
• MAC Frames are also divided into fields. They include:
– Preamble
– Start of frame delimiter
– Destination MAC address
– Source MAC address
– Type/length
– Data and pad
– Frame check sequence
53
Best Path and Metric
• A Metric is a numerical value used by routing protocols to assess a
given route
• Metrics may be based on a single path variable or multiple variables of
a path
• 2 types of metrics used by routing protocols are:
– Hop count - this is the
number of routers a packet
must travel through to get
to its destination
– Bandwidth - this is the
“speed” of a link also
known as the data capacity
of a link
54
Router Paths and Packet Switching
• Equal cost metric is a condition where a router has multiple paths to the same destination that all have the same metric
• To solve this dilemma, a router will use Equal Cost Load Balancing. This means the router sends packets over the multiple exit interfaces listed in the routing table.
• Equal Cost Paths and Unequal Cost Paths: a router can send packets over multiple networks even when the metric is not the same if it is using a routing protocol that has this capability.
55
Path Determination
• The path determination function is the process of how the router
determines which path to use when forwarding a packet by
searching its routing table.
• One of three path determinations results from this search:
– Directly connected network
– Remote network
– No route determined
56
Switching Function
• Switching Function of Router is the process used by a
router to switch a packet from an incoming interface to an
outgoing interface on the same router.
• A packet received by a router will do the following:
Strips off layer 2 headers.
Examines destination IP address located in Layer 3
header to find best route to destination.
Re-encapsulates layer 3 packet into layer 2 frame.
Forwards frame out exit interface.

79
Switching Function
• Step 5: The Ethernet Frame with encapsulated IP packet
arrives at PC2
1. PC2 examines the destination MAC address, which
matches the MAC address of the receiving interface,
its Ethernet NIC. PC2 will therefore copy the rest of the
frame into its buffer.
2. PC2 sees that the Ethernet Type field is 0x800, which
means that the Ethernet frame contains an IP packet
in the data portion of the frame.
3. PC2 decapsulates the Ethernet frame and passes the
IP packet to the IP process of its operating system.

Summary
81
Configuration Register Setting – 1800 Series
• The order in which the router looks for system bootstrap information
depends on the boot field setting in the configuration register.
• The configuration register is a 16-bit register in NVRAM.
• To ensure that the upper 12 bits are not changed, first retrieve the
current values of the configuration register using the show version
command.
• Then use the config-register command, changing only the value of
the last hexadecimal digit.

1, and 0)
Meaning
0000
(0x0)
At the next power cycle or reload, the router boots to the ROM monitor.
0001
(0x01)
Boots the first image in flash memory as a system image.
0010 - 1111
(0x02 - 0xF)
At the next power cycle or reload, the router sequentially processes each
boot system command in global configuration mode that is stored in the
configuration file until the system boots successfully.
If no boot system commands are stored in the configuration file, or if
executing those commands is unsuccessful, then the router attempts to
boot the first image file in flash memory.
