Router Modes
Router>: User mode = Limited to basic monitoring commands |
Router#: Privileged mode (exec-level mode) = Provides access to all other router commands |
Router(config)#: global configuration mode = Commands that affect the entire system |
Router(config-subif)#: subinterface mode = Commands that affect subinterfaces |
Router(config-line)#: line mode = Commands that affect in lines modes (console, vty, aux…) |
Router(config-router)#: router configuration mode |
Changing switch hostname
Switch(config)# hostname SW1 |
Configuring passwords
SW1(config)# enable secret nutty !MD5 hash
SW1(config)# enable password 1234 |
Encrypting passwords
SW1(config)# service password-encryption |
Working environment
SW1(config)# no ip domain-lookup
SW1(config)# line vty 0 4
SW1(config-line)# history size 15
SW1(config-line)# exec-timeout 10 30
SW1(config-line)# logging synchronous |
Saving configuration
SW1# copy running-config nutty
! Destination filename [nutty]
SW1# wr |
Description, speed and duplex
SW1(config)# interface fastEthernet 0/1
SW1(config-if)# description LINK TO INTERNET ROUTER
SW1(config-if)# speed 100 ! Options: 10, 100, auto
! The range keyword used to set a group of interfaces at once.
SW1(config)# interface range fastEthernet 0/5 – 10
SW1(config-if-range)# duplex full (options: half, full, auto) |
|
|
Setting the default gateway
SW1(config)# ip default-gateway 172.16.1.1 |
Securing console port
SW1(config)# line con 0
SW1(config-line)# password cisco
SW1(config-line)# login |
Aliases
! Used to create shortcuts for long commands. |
SW1(config)# alias exec c configure terminal |
Securing terminal lines
SW1(config)# line vty 0 4
SW1(config-line)# password cisco
SW1(config-line)# login |
Configuring banners
SW1(config)# banner motd $ |
Giving the switch an IP address
SW1(config)# interface vlan 1
SW1(config-if)# ip address 172.16.1.11 255.255.255.0 ! or DHCP
SW1(config-if)# no shutdown |
Configuring switch to use SSH
Configure DNS domain name :
SW1(config)# ip domain-name example.com
Configure a username and password :
SW1(config)# username admin password cisco
Generate encryption keys :
! The size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048
SW1(config)# crypto key generate rsa
How many bits in the modulus [512]: 1024
Define SSH version to use :
SW1(config)# ip ssh version 2
Enable vty lines to use SSH :
SW1(config)# line vty 0 4
SW1(config-line)# login local
! You can set vty lines to use only telnet or only ssh or both as in the example.
SW1(config-line)# transport input telnet ssh |

Verify Basic Configuration
Shows information about the switch and its interfaces, RAM, NVRAM, flash, IOS, etc
SW1# show version
Shows the current configuration file stored in DRAM.
SW1# show running-config
Shows the configuration file stored in NVRAM which is used at first boot process.
SW1# show startup-config
Lists the commands currently held in the history buffer.
SW1# show history
Shows an overview of all interfaces, their physical status, protocol status and ip address if assigned.
SW1# show ip interface brief
Shows detailed information about the specified interface, its status, protocol, duplex, speed, encapsulation, last 5 min traffic.
SW1# show interface vlan 1
Shows the description of all interfaces
SW1# show interfaces description
Shows the status of all interfaces like connected or not, speed, duplex, trunk or access vlan.
SW1# show interfaces status
Shows the public encryption key used for SSH.
SW1# show crypto key mypubkey rsa
Shows information about the leased IP address (when an interface is configured to get IP address via a dhcp server)
SW1# show dhcp lease |
