Lab 1.1 Licensing and File Management
Introduction
The Internetwork Operating System (IOS) software purchased will depend on
what type of functionality is desired, for the intended environment and role
the device will play. It is important for a Network Administrator to know and
select the right version to ensure correct operation within the network. It is
also important to know where this and other key files are located when
installing or updating features.
Objective(s)
In this lab the student will:
● Identify network device licensing types and features and manipulate
file locations. (LO1.1.1)
Assignment
Identify the IOS license/features installed, and list, copy, move file locations
on a cisco router.
Equipment/Supplies Needed:
If working in a physical environment:
●
Computer(s)
●
Router (1) 1941 Series
●
Cable(s) [if working in physical environment]
●
Terminal Emulation Software (Putty / Teraterm/
Hyperterm ) If working online:
●
Your Computer workstation

●
Cisco Packet Tracer
●
Backup and recovery.pkt file
Procedure
Perform the steps in this lab in the order they are presented to you. Answer
all questions and record the requested information in a text file.
Configure Network for examination of Router
1. Access the Router. Ensure the workstations configured with the
appropriate IP Address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Set the
hostname on the router as R1_YourLastName.
Note for online students:
You will need to build your own network in Packet Tracer for the activities in
this lab.
Only a very simple configuration is needed. Use a 1941 Cisco
Router, a 2900 series Switch and one PC.
View Licensing
Step 1
: Routers have a unique device identifier (UDI), which is a combination
of the product ID (PID) and a serial number. From privileged mode, view the
ITNW 2312 Lab 1.1.1
Licensing and File Management
2
(UDI) on the routers using the
show license udi
command. When validating
a license with cisco you will need this information.
Router#
show license udi
1)
What other parameters are provided by the command?
Recordyour answer.
Step 2
: View the technology package licenses and feature licenses
supported by the router. The router will usually come with the IP Base.
Additional features/licensing will need to be purchased. The additional
licenses will come with a Product Authorization Key (PAK). Enter the
show
license feature
command.
Router#
show license feature
2)
Record the command’s output
Feature name Enforcement Evaluation Subscription Enabled
ipbasek9 no no no yes
securityk9 yes yes no no
datak9 yes no no no
3)
Which technology packages are enabled on the router? Record
your answer.
IPbasek9
Step 3
: Check to see what licenses are active on this router, using the
show
license all
command. This command provides the active license and UDI for
the router with one command. The license status will display as either
"Active, In Use" or "Inactive". List “Active” license features and their type.
Router#
show license all
License Store: Primary License Storage
StoreIndex: 0 Feature: ipbasek9 Version: 1.0
License Type: Permanent
License State: Active, In Use
License Count: Non-Counted

Router File Management
The Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) comes with a simple
file management system that allows the organizing of files into a directory
structure that can be accessed by Network Administrators to upload and
download system and configuration files. Files are stored in 2 primary
locations:
●
Flash: Mainly holds IOS Image (.bin file) and VLAN Database on
switches; however, can also store log files and other files
●
NVRAM: stores startup configuration file
Note:
Unlike windows that use a drive letter (C:/), names on cisco devices
are used to identify drive locations. Commands used to view/manipulate
the filesystem are similar to those used in linux systems. [
Note
:
Not all
commands are supported by Packet Tracer
]
Step 1
: Use the
show file systems
command to display information about
each of the directories.
Record the output.
File Systems:
Size(b) Free(b) Type Flags Prefixes
* 255744000 221896413 disk rw flash0: flash:#
262136 255005 nvram rw nvram:
4)
Note the flags describing the permission for the filesystem.
Howmuch total disk space is available?
Free shows 221896413 (b) are available on the disk type
Step 2
: Use the
dir
command to view current directory content.
5)
What is the name of the current directory?
Directory of “flash0:/”
6)
List the IOS image(s) currently resident on the flash?
flash0:c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-1.M4.bin
Record the image filename along with size and date/time created.

It shows Wed-23-Feb-11 14:19 File size is:
Step 3
: The dir command can also be used to list files in a specific directory.
View the files/subdirectories in NVRAM (startup).
Router#
dir NVRAM
a.
View and record the output.
No files in directory
b.
Perform a
copy run start
command on the router.
c.
View the NVRAM directory again. The startup file should now
bevisible in the directory.
7)
How many bytes are in the directory now?
525 bytes total / 237588 bytes free
Step 4
: List the directory of flash [dir flash]
Directory of flash0:/
3 -rw- 33591768 <no date> c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M4.bin
2 -rw- 28282 <no date> sigdef-category.xml
1 -rw- 227537 <no date> sigdef-default.xml
255744000 bytes total (221896413 bytes free)
Step 5
: Create a Directory in the router’s flash. Name the directory
“practice”.
Router1#
mkdir practice
Create directory filename [practice]? Created dir flash:practice
Step 6
: View the directories again with the
dir
command.
Record the output showing that the new directory is now listed.
Directory of flash0:/

2 -rw- 28282 <no date> sigdef-category.xml
1 -rw- 227537 <no date> sigdef-default.xml
Note:
Directory names are case sensitive, limited to 45 characters
between slashes (/). The name cannot contain control characters, spaces,
slashes, quotes, semicolons, or colons.
Change Directory
The following commands are not supported by Packet Tracer (Skip to after
Step 5); Perform only in a live environment.
Step 1
: Navigate to the flash directory using the
cd
command. Verify that
you are in flash by displaying the present working directory.
Record
commands and output.
Router#
cd flash
Router#
pwd
Router#
mkdir
YourLastName_Configs
Step 2
: Make a backup of the IOS file recorded earlier, from flash to the new
directory using the
copy
command.
Router#
copy flash:IOS_filename flash:YourLastName_Configs
a. Verify the entry.
Record the commands used and output to show that the file was
created in the new directory.
Step 3
: Delete/remove the directory and file created at the same time. Use
the /recursive keyword to delete the YourLastName_Configs directory and all
subdirectories and the files it contains. Verify the directory and file are no
longer on the router.

Record the command used and the output showing the files are no
longer there.
Router#
delete /recursive
YourLastName_Configs
Router#
show file info filename
Record the
results.
Step 4
: View and record the contents of the drive using the
usbflash0:
device command.
Router#
dir usbflash0:
Record the results
.
Step 5: *Only if working in a live lab environment**
Perform a
write
erase
and
reload
on the router to make sure it is “clean” (no
configuration). Confirm that the NVRAM has a blank configuration, using the
show start
command. (should show/say nothing is there)
●
Power down the router and disconnect any cables used. Return cables
and connectors to their proper location(s) and leave the work area
clean.
●
Save any text file(s) or images recorded and submit them to the
instructor for grading.
Submit Your Work:
Packet Tracer
:
Submit Packet Tracer file as well as your text file with your findings and
notes.
Physical Lab
:
Submit the running configuration(s) for each device used, along with the
items requested to record to the instructor for grading.
