Title: Configuring Cisco IOS Routers with Telnet
Grade Level: High School (9-12)
Subject: Networking/Information Technology
Duration: 2 class periods (90 minutes each)
NYS Danielson Framework Domain: Domain 1: Planning and Preparation
I. Objectives: 1. Students will understand the concept of telnet and its role in configuring Cisco IOS routers. 2. Students will be able to configure Cisco IOS routers using telnet. 3. Students will demonstrate their understanding by successfully configuring a Cisco IOS router using telnet.
II. Materials: 1. Cisco IOS routers (enough for each student or group) 2. Computers with telnet software installed 3. Network cables 4. Handouts with step-by-step instructions for configuring Cisco IOS routers with telnet 5. Assessment rubric
III. Pre-Assessment (10 minutes): Ask students to write down what they know about telnet and its purpose in networking. Collect their responses to gauge their prior knowledge.
IV. Introduction (10 minutes): 1. Engage students in a discussion about the importance of configuring routers in a network. 2. Explain the concept of telnet and its role in remotely configuring Cisco IOS routers. 3. Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of using telnet for router configuration.
V. Direct Instruction (20 minutes): 1. Provide a brief overview of the Cisco IOS router interface and its key components. 2. Demonstrate the step-by-step process of configuring a Cisco IOS router using telnet. 3. Highlight important commands and their functions during the demonstration. 4. Address any questions or concerns from students.
VI. Guided Practice (30 minutes): 1. Divide students into pairs or small groups. 2. Distribute the handouts with step-by-step instructions for configuring Cisco IOS routers with telnet. 3. Instruct students to follow the instructions and configure their assigned Cisco IOS routers using telnet. 4. Circulate the classroom to provide assistance and answer any questions.
VII. Independent Practice (30 minutes): 1. Ask students to individually configure a different Cisco IOS router using telnet. 2. Encourage them to refer to the handouts and apply the knowledge gained during the guided practice. 3. Monitor their progress and provide support as needed.
VIII. Closure (10 minutes): 1. Conduct a class discussion to review the key concepts covered in the lesson. 2. Allow students to share their experiences and challenges faced during the configuration process. 3. Summarize the importance of telnet in configuring Cisco IOS routers and its impact on network management.
IX. Assessment: 1. Formative Assessment: Observe students during the guided and independent practice sessions, providing feedback and support as needed. 2. Summative Assessment: Evaluate students’ understanding and ability to configure a Cisco IOS router using telnet based on the completed configurations and their accuracy.
X. Extension Activity: Challenge advanced students to explore additional features and commands available in Cisco IOS routers beyond the basic telnet configuration.
XI. Differentiation: 1. Provide additional support and guidance to struggling students during the guided practice. 2. Offer advanced resources and challenges to students who grasp the concepts quickly. 3. Encourage collaboration and peer support among students.
Note: This lesson plan aligns with the NYS Danielson Framework Domain 1: Planning and Preparation, as it focuses on planning and preparing instructional activities that promote student learning and engagement in the subject of networking and information technology.
