2) Assign the last IPv4 address of each subnet to the PC NIC.
3) Assign the second IPv4 address of LAN 1 to S1 SVI.
Part 3: Configure Basic Device Settings
Network devices must be configured over a direct console connection. Connectivity between the hosts should be established.
Step 1: Configure Basic Settings
a. Disable DNS lookup on R1 and S1
b. Configure router hostname using the name R1.
c. Configure switch hostname using the name S1.
d. Configure an appropriate banner on R1 and S1.
e. Allow console logins with the password C@nsPassw!
Step 2: Configure Interfaces
a. Configure R1 G0/0/0 and G0/0/1 interfaces using the addressing from the previous part of this assessment:

- IPv4 address / subnet mask
b. Configure the S1 VLAN 1 SVI interface using the addressing from the previous part of this assessment:
- Interface description
- IPv4 address / subnet mask
- The switch should be reachable from devices on other networks.
Part 4: Configure Security Settings on R1 and S1
Step 1: Configure enhanced password security
a. Configure DontTellAnyone as the encrypted privileged EXEC password
b. Encrypt all plaintext passwords
c. Set minimum password length to 10 on R1.
Step 2: Configure SSH on R1 and S1
a. Configure netsec.com as the domain name
b. Configure a local user netadmin with the secret password Ci$co12345
c. Set login on vty lines to use local database.
d. Configure the vty lines to accept SSH access only.
e. Generate an RSA crypto key using 1024 bits modulus.
Step 3: Secure switch ports on S1
a. Shut down all unused ports on S1.
b. Enter descriptions for all unused switch ports to indicate that they are intentionally shutdown.
Part 5: Configure the Hosts and Verify Connectivity
Configure both hosts with the IPv4 addresses that were assigned in Part 2 of this assessment.
