LEDs
IOS
Internetwork operating system
The Cisco ____ CLI allows the user to use a terminal emulation program which accepts text entered by the user
IOS (internetwork operating system)
The switch CLI can be accessed through three popular methods
The console, telnet and secure shell
SSH
Secure Shell
A _____ cable roles the pins 1 to 8, 2 to 7, 3 to 6 and so on
Rollover
USB
Universal serial bus
When using the ____ option you typically also need to install software driver so that your PCs operating system knows that the device on the other end of the connection is the console of a cisco
USB
After the PC is physically connected to the console port a terminal _____ software package must be installed and configured on the PC
Emulator
The ____ must be configured to use the PCs serial port to match the settings on the switches console’s port settings
Emulator
9600 Bits/second, no hardware control flow, 8-bit ASCII, no parity bits, 1 stop bit: these are all part of the _____ Console port settings
Default
_____ uses an IP network to send and receive the data rather than a specialized cable and a physical port on the device
Telnet
The telnet application protocols call the terminal emulator a
Telnet client
To overcome serious security problems with telnet many engineers use _____ instead
SSH (secure shell)
_____ _____ mode allows the user to look around and not break
User exec mode
Cisco iOS supports more powerful exec mode called _____ mode
Enable
The command prompt list the host name followed by a > the user is in _____ mode
User
At the command prompt is the host name followed by a # then the user is in ______ mode
Enable
The most popular Cisco iOS command is the ______ command
Show
Essentially the _____ command list the currently known facts about the switches operational status
Show
The _____ command asks the switch to continue monitoring different processes in the switch
Debug
Any user logged in can choose to view the messages in the log created by the _____ command just by using terminal monitor command from enable mode
Debug
The _____ must be disabled for it to stop
Debug
Disable command add the word ___The front of the command you wish to stop
No
______ mode is another mode for the Cisco CLI similar to user mode and privileged
Configuration
Configuration mode accepts ______ commands. Commands that tell a switch the details of what to do and how to do it
Configuration
Configuration commands occur _____ so be careful when you enter a configuration command
Immediately
_____ ______ Commands move you from one configuration subcommand mode or context to another
Context setting
The ______ command is one of the most commonly used context setting configuration commands
Interface
Asking for help in the interface configuration mode displays only commands that are useful for configuring ethernet interfaces these commands are known as ______
Subcommands
RAM
Random Access Memory
Four main types of memory found in Cisco switches are:
RAM
ROM
Flash memory
NVRAM
_____ is used by the Switch just as it is used by new computer for working stores running active configuration file is stored here
RAM
DRAM
Dynamic random access memory
_____ stores of a bootstrap program that is loaded with a switch first powers on this bootstrap program then find the full Cisco iOS image and manages the process of loading Cisco iOS into RAM At which point Cisco iOS iOS takes overall operations
ROM
______ Is either a chip inside the switch or removable memory card which stores fully functional Cisco iOS images and is the default location where the switch gets it Cisco IOSwas at boot time
Flash memory
_____ Stores the initial start up configuration file the that is used when the switch is first powered on and when the switch is reloaded
NVRAM
NVRAM
Non-volatile ram
Cisco iOS stores the collection of configuration commands in a ________ file
Configuration
Switches can use multiple _______ files
Configuration
Start up configuration is stored in ____
NVRAM
Running configuration is stored in _____
Ram
______ Store the initial configuration file used any time the switch reloads Cisco iOS
Startup configuration
______ stores the currently use configuration commands, this file changes dynamically when someone enters commands in configuration mode
Running config
The ____ command reboots the switch
Reload
The ______ command is used to copy files in the switch
Copy
The _____ command always replaces the existing file when the file is copied into NVRAM or into a TFTP server
Copy
When the _____ command copies a configuration file into the running config file in RAM, the configuration file in RAM is not replaced but is merged instead
Copy
You can use three different Commands to erase the contents of NVRAM:
Write erase
Erase startup-config
Erase NVRAM
_____ is the more recent and recommended command for Erasing NVRAM
Erase NVRAM
_____ mode leads a switch administrator by asking questions that prompt the administrator for basic configuration parameters
Setup
Most network engineers never use _____ mode mainly because set up supports only a small percentage of modern switch configuration
Setup
Using the _____ ______command the iOS displays statistics related to the current operation of the switch
Show version
Cisco the concept of _____ with its router products and most of his catalyst LAN switch products
CLI (command line interface)
Like any other piece of computer hardware Cisco switches need some kind of operating system Cisco calls this _____
