BDL 2.2 Buzzwords Flashcards
Work group switch (wgs)
Layer 2 switch
identifies the location of the device, in this case California.
CA
trainee number e.g a trainee with a single digit like trainee1 would write 001 and a trainee with a double digit like trainee 13 would write 013
XXX
building number and floor; in this case it would be building A and floor two.
a02
Building number and IDF number; in this case it would be building a and IDF number 1.
a01
Labeled as ‘Int VLAN 130: 10.x.x.x /xx’ where int stands for interface and 10.x.x.x is the Management IP and /xx is the subnet mask of the IP. This IP is configured to access the device remotely to manage the device. To create a Management IP, you need to create a VLAN for it
management IP
Formal names in a switch followed by a port number informing the type of throughput allowed per port which is 100Mbp/s maximum; for example ports f0/8 and f0/12.
fastethernet port
Less common in present day switch devices. Maximum throughput is 10Mbp/s
ethernet port
This type of port is present in devices that handle heavier traffic and therefore have a maximum throughput of 1Gbp/s or 1000Mbp/s.
gigethernet/gigabiteethernet port
End devices such as PCs, printers, VoIP phones, that request and send
information over the network
Hosts
Jargon for any device that is brand new
out of the box device
A switchport that is configured to access mode to connect to end users or hosts on a network. The end device or host canbe a PC, an IP phone, a printer.
access ports
In the context of the lab, Visio is the file where the topology of the lab is displayed. Visio is a Microsoft product that allows you to create network designs and topologies to map out your network
visio
inform you of the status of certain functions in a device, such as a switch’s ports example “Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/12 changed state to up.” This log tells you is that the port is active and can send and receive traffic.
system log messages
Initial mode in a device such as a switch or router. There is a ‘greater than’ sign or carat sign preceded by the hostname of the device. This is the equivalent of a read-only mode in a network device:
user-exec mode. Example: switch>
This mode is accessed by typing ‘enable’ or ‘en’ under user-exec mode; There is a hash tag or number sign preceded by the hostname of the device. In this mode you will be able to run show commands and diagnostics to verify the configurations in a device:
privilege mode. Example: switch#
This mode is accessed by typing ‘configure terminal’or ‘conf t’under privilege mode. Depending on what you are configuring, you will see the configuration name in parenthesis and hash tag, preceded by the hostname of the device. In this mode, you will be able configure your network device.
global configuration mode
Configurations that you will need to apply to all your devices whenever you begin a new lab.
initial command/ basic configurations
Anything you type after the command Password, will be taken as the password including spaces after cisco for example. There are three types of passwords enable, line console and virtual teletype.
passwords
A session that is established in the switch when you directly plug your host with the console port in a switch or router.
consoled session
Fastethernet0/8, access port.
int f0/8
Fastethernet012, access port.
int f0/12
out of the box configuration for ports on a cisco switch
dynamic desirable
Delineates a port as an access port unless you assign it as another port type.
switchport non-negotiate
This protocol outputs how the switch manages and handles vlan information. By default, the switches run under server VTP mode.
For example vtp mode transparent, allows the creation of vlans to be local to the switch that you are configuring, any changes of VLANs in the switch will not affect existing ones in the neighboring switches; this mode also helps you see the vlans created in the running configuration.
There are three types of VTP modes:
VTP domain, virtual trunking protocol.
- server
- client
- transparent
