CCNA Sim question

[techthug]

Are you allowed to use short form commands on the exam. For example show run for show running-config?

According to other posts, I believe from this forum, "Yes".

I am doing the Boson™ NetSim™ CCNA 2.0 Lab Menu and have a problem with the the lab navigator section ppp with chap authentication.
Basically what I have to do is to configure serial 0 of 2 routers using ppp encap and chap authentication.

This is what I did in both routers:

Router 1:

hostname R1
enable secret toast1
username R2 password cool2
interface serial 0
encapsulation PPP
ppp authentication chap
no shutdown

Router 2:

hostname R2
enable secret cool2
username R1 password toast1
interface serial 0
encapsulation PPP
ppp authentication chap
no shutdown

but, I cant get the interfaces up.

Any inputs are very welcome.
Thanks.

yes, shortened commands are allowed.

as for the second posting, how are the routers configured. is it a DCE DTE connection? What is the status of the interface? IS it interface is down line protocol is down, or interface is up line protocol is down? If it says that the line protocol is down and the connection is a DTE DCE , it must be the clock rate which is not specified. OR any type of datalink layer problem like keep alives and etc. Can you post the full running config so we can examine it further?

below is the running config in both routers!
thanks!

there are no ip addresses configured.You have to configure a layer3 address like IP/IPX to have the routers communicate.

 

[rzmzs]

I just try adding the ip addresses:

r1: 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
r4: 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0

but both interfaces are still down (both status and protocol).
Do I need to enable the routing protocol?
Thanks.

Yes you need to enable a protocol "Router Rip" and the particapating networks.

R1(config)# router rip

R1(config-router)Network 10.1.1.0
