Lab 2-1 Basic Device Navigation and Configuration
Learning Objectives
As a result of this lab section, you should achieve the following tasks:
Configure device system parameters including device name, the
system time, and the system time zone.
Configure the console port idle timeout duration.
Configure the login information.
Configure the login password.
Save configuration files.
Configure IP addresses for router interfaces.
Test the connectivity between two directly connected routers.
Restart a device using VRP.
Topology
Figure 2.1 Lab topology for basic VRP navigation and operation.
Scenario
A company has purchased two AR G3 routers that require commissioning
before they can be used in the enterprise network. Items to be
commissioned include setting device names, the system time, and password
management.
Tasks
Step 1 View the system information
Run the display version command to view the software version and
hardware information for the system.
<Huawei>display version
Huawei Versatile Routing Platform Software
VRP (R) software, Version 5.160 (AR2200 V200R007C00SPC600)

......output omitted......
The command output includes the VRP operating system version, device
model, and startup time.
Change the system time parameter
The system automatically saves the time. If the time is incorrect, run the
clock timezone and clock datetime commands in the user view to change
the system time.
<Huawei>clock timezone Local add 08:00:00
<Huawei>clock datetime 12:00:00 2016-03-11
The keyword Local can be exchanged with the current regional timezone
name, and add replaced with minus where the timezone is west of UTC+0.
Run the display clock command to check that the new system time has
taken effect.

Help features & Auto-completion functions
The question mark (?) is a wildcard, and the Tab is used as a shortcut to
enter commands.
<Huawei>display ?
Cellular Cellular interface
aaa AAA

accounting-scheme Accounting scheme
acl <Group> acl command group

......output omit......
To display all the commands that start with a specific letter or string of
letters, enter the desired letters and the question mark (?). The system
displays all the commands that start with the letters entered. For example, if
the string dis? is entered, the system displays all the commands that start
with dis.
If a space exists between the character string and the question mark (?), the
system will identify the commands corresponding to the string and display
the parameters of the command. For example, if the string dis ? is entered
and only the display command matches the dis string, the system displays
the parameters of the display command. If multiple commands start with
dis, the system displays an error.
The Tab key can also be pressed to complete a command. For example, if
dis is entered followed by Tab, the system completes the display
command. If multiple commands start with dis, the appropriate command
can be selected.
If there are no other commands starting with the same letters, dis or disp
can be entered to indicate display, and int or inter to indicate interface.
Access the system view
Run the system-view command to access the system view to configure
interfaces and protocols.
<Huawei>system-view
Enter system view, return user view with Ctrl+Z.

Change device names
To more easily identify devices, set device names during the device
configuration. Change device names based on the lab topology, as shown
below:
Change the name of the R1 router to R1.
[Huawei]sysname R1
[R1]
Change the name of the R3 router to R3.
[Huawei]sysname R3
[R3]
Configure the login information
Configure the login information to indicate the login result.
[R1]header shell information "Welcome to the Huawei certification lab."
Run the preceding command to configure the login information. To check
whether the login information has been changed, exit from the router
command line interface, and log back in to view the login information.
[R1]quit
<R1>quit
Configuration console exit, please press any key to log on
Welcome to the Huawei certification lab.
<R1>
Configure console port parameters
The console port by default does not have a login password. Users must
configure a password for the console port before logging in to the device.
The password can be changed in the password authentication mode to
huawei in plain text.
If there is no activity on the console port for the period of time specified by
the timeout interval, the system will automatically log out the user. When
this occurs, log in to the system again using the configured password.
The default timeout interval is set to 10 minutes. If a 10 minutes idle period
is not a reasonable amount of time for the timeout interval, change the
timeout interval to a more suitable duration, here this is set to 20 minutes.

Configure interface IP addresses and descriptions
Configure an IP address for the GigabitEthernet 0/0/0 interface of R1. The
subnet mask can be configured using a dotted decimal format
(255.255.255.0), or based on the subnet mask prefix length.

the interface are UP, and the corresponding physical layer and data link
layer are functional.
Once the status has been verified, configure the IP address and description
for the interface of R3.
