SSH 22

A

SSH is a method for remotely establishing a secure CLI connection through a virtual
interface, over a network. Unlike a console connection, SSH connections require active networking services on the device including an active interface configured with an address.

Q

EXEC

A

User EXEC Mode - This mode has limited capabilities but is useful for basic operations. It allows only a limited number of basic monitoring commands but does not allow the execution of any commands that might change the configuration of the device. The user EXEC mode is identified by the CLI prompt that ends with the > symbol.

Q

Priveleged EXEC

A

Privileged EXEC Mode - To execute configuration commands, a network administrator must access privileged EXEC mode. Higher configuration modes, like global configuration mode, can only be reached from privileged EXEC mode. The privileged EXEC mode can be identified by the prompt ending with the # symbol.

A

(VTY) lines enable remote access to the device. To secure VTY lines used for SSH and Telnet,
Use line vty 0 15 global config command To enter it

Many Cisco switches support up to 16 VTY lines that are numbered 0 to 15

A

service password-encryption to make them:
Switch(config)# service password-encryption

25
Q

startup-config

A

The file stored in Non-volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) that contains all of the commands that will be used by the device upon startup or reboot. NVRAM does not lose its contents when the device is powered off.

26
Q

running-config

A

The file stored in Random Access Memory (RAM) that reflects the current configuration. Modifying a running configuration affects the operation of a Cisco device immediately. RAM is volatile memory. It loses all of its content when the device is powered off or restarted.

27
Q

.

A

As shown in the figure, use the show running-config privileged EXEC mode command to view the running configuration file. To view the startup configuration file, use the show startup-config privileged EXEC command.

If power to the device is lost or if the device is restarted, all configuration changes will be lost unless they have been saved. To save changes made to the running configuration to the startup configuration file use the copy running-config startup-config privileged EXEC mode command.

28
Q

SVIs

A

switch virtual interfaces. These ports do not support Layer 3 IP addresses. Therefore, switches have one or more switch virtual interfaces

29
Q

A Layer 2 switch does not need an IP address. The IP address assigned to the SVI is used to remotely access the switch. An IP address is not necessary for the switch to perform its operations.

A

Q

In order for an end device to communicate over the network, it must be configured with a unique IPv4 address and subnet mask. IP address information can be entered into end devices manually, or automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

To manually configure an IPv4 address on a Windows host, open the Control Panel > Network Sharing Center > Change adapter settings and choose the adapter. Next right-click and select Properties to display the Local Area Connection Properties shown in Figure 1.

Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties to open the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window shown in Figure 2. Configure the IPv4 address and subnet mask information, and default gateway.

A

Manual IP Address Configuration for End Devices

31
Q

Automatic IP Address Configuration for End Devices

A

In a network, DHCP enables automatic IPv4 address configuration for every end device that has DHCP enabled. Imagine the amount of time it would consume if every time you connected to the network, you had to manually enter the IPv4 address, the subnet mask, the default gateway, and the DNS server. Multiply that by every user and every device in an organization and you see the problem. Manual configuration also increases the chance of misconfiguration by duplicating another device’s IPv4 address.

As shown in Figure 1, to configure DHCP on a Windows PC, you only need to select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”. Your PC will search out a DHCP server and be assigned the address settings necessary to communicate on the network.

It is possible to display the IP configuration settings on a Windows PC by using the ipconfig command at the command prompt. The output will show the IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway information received from the DHCP server.

Use the Syntax Checker in Figure 2 to practice displaying the IPv4 address on a Windows PC.

Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties to open the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window shown in Figure 2. Configure the IPv4 address and subnet mask information, and default gateway.

Note: The DNS server addresses are the IPv4 addresses of the Domain Name System (DNS) servers, which are used to translate IP addresses to domain names, such as www.cisco.com.

33
Q

Automatic IP Address Configuration for End Devices

A

PCs typically default to using DHCP for automatic IPv4 address configuration. DHCP is a technology that is used in almost every network. The best way to understand why DHCP is so popular is by considering all the extra work that would have to take place without it.

In a network, DHCP enables automatic IPv4 address configuration for every end device that has DHCP enabled. Imagine the amount of time it would consume if every time you connected to the network, you had to manually enter the IPv4 address, the subnet mask, the default gateway, and the DNS server. Multiply that by every user and every device in an organization and you see the problem. Manual configuration also increases the chance of misconfiguration by duplicating another device’s IPv4 address.

As shown in Figure 1, to configure DHCP on a Windows PC, you only need to select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”. Your PC will search out a DHCP server and be assigned the address settings necessary to communicate on the network.

It is possible to display the IP configuration settings on a Windows PC by using the ipconfig command at the command prompt. The output will show the IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway information received from the DHCP server.

Use the Syntax Checker in Figure 2 to practice displaying the IPv4 address on a Windows PC.

34
Q

Switch Virtual Interface Configuration

A

To access the switch remotely, an IP address and a subnet mask must be configured on the SVI. To configure an SVI on a switch, use the interface vlan 1 global configuration command. Vlan 1 is not an actual physical interface but a virtual one. Next assign an IPv4 address using the ip address ip-address subnet-mask interface configuration command. Finally, enable the virtual interface using the no shutdown interface configuration command.

After these commands are configured, the switch has all the IPv4 elements ready for communication over the network.

Click Play in the figure to view a video demonstration of how to configure a switch virtual interface.

35
Q

Interface Addressing Verification

A

In the same way that you use commands and utilities like ipconfig to verify a PC host’s network configuration, you also use commands to verify the interfaces and address settings of intermediary devices like switches and routers.

Click Play in the figure to view a video demonstration of the show ip interface brief command. This command is useful for verifying the condition of the switch interfaces
