Co-Authored by Michaela Pawlowski
After you complete each step, put an ‘x’ in the completed box.
Objective: Create a simple topology to configure and test an encrypted SSH connection.
1. Set up the following Packet Tracer topology.
2. Navigate to the router’s CLI and enter the following commands.
3. Configure the host’s IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway so that it can communicate
with the router.
4. Verify that the host can talk to the router with a ping.
5. We will now configure SSH on our router. Navigate to the router’s CLI again and enter the
following commands.
6. Now that our SSH configuration has been set up, we can test the connectivity. Enter the following
command into the host’s command prompt. You will be prompted to enter the password you set
earlier.
Note on the command: ssh – l (l for lima) ……..
7. If you executed all steps successfully, you should see the router’s Admin prompt after entering
your SSH password. If you can’t connect, troubleshoot!
Attach a screenshot of your successful SSH connection!
