Basic device setup and SSH-ready management

Scenario

A new branch router and access switch have arrived with factory defaults. Before they go into the rack, give them names, lock down privileged and console access, add a legal banner, put both on the management network, make the router reachable by SSH only, and save the configuration so it survives a reload. PC1 is already set up as 192.168.1.10/24 with gateway 192.168.1.1.

Your tasks

1. Name the router R1 and the switch SW1.
2. Protect privileged EXEC on both devices with the enable secret Sup3rSecret.
3. Require the password C0nsole on the console line of both devices.
4. Make sure no password is shown in clear text in either configuration.
5. Show a message of the day containing "Authorized access only" on both devices.
6. Give R1 GigabitEthernet0/0/0 the address 192.168.1.1/24 and bring it up.
7. Make SW1 manageable at 192.168.1.2/24 (VLAN 1) with default gateway 192.168.1.1.
8. Allow only SSH version 2 to R1's VTY lines, logging in as user admin with secret Adm1nPass. Use the domain courseiva.lab and an RSA key of at least 1024 bits.
9. PC1 can ping both R1 (192.168.1.1) and SW1 (192.168.1.2).
10. Save the configuration on both devices.

The lab checks the result, not the exact commands. For example, a ping task passes only when the ping really succeeds through the network you built.
