Managing Switching Network Environment

Some important switching Topics 

Managing Switching Network Environment


  • Establish a console connection to a switch
  • Configure the hostname and VLAN 99
  • Set the switch default gateway.
  • Configure IP connectivity on S1 using VLAN 99
  • Configure the clock using Help
  • Configure passwords and console/Telnet access
  • Configure the login banner
  • Manage the MAC address table
  • Configure port security
  • Manage the switch configuration file
  • EtherChanel Modes, configuration of EtherChannel
  • Recovering Automatically from Error-Disabled Ports - Cisco Switch
  • Storm control Configuration
  • Configuring VLAN Trunking Protocol on Cisco Switch
  • Switch Configuration and Switch Troubleshooting Commands list

Now we start the switch configuration by connecting switch to console 

Establish a console connection to a switch

Step 1. Connect a console cable to S1.

For this activity, direct access to S1 Config and CLI tabs is disabled. You must establish a console session through PC1. Connect a console cable from PC10 to S1.

Step 2. Establish a terminal session. From PC10, open a terminal window and use the default terminal configuration. You should now have access to the CLI for S1.

Configure the hostname and VLAN 99

Hostname Configuration

Switch>

Switch>enable

Switch#configure

Switch(config)#hostname S1

S1(config)#exit

S1#write

Create A VLAN

S1(config)#interface fastethernet 0/1

S1(config-if)#switchport access vlan 99

S1(config-if)#switchport mode access

Set the switch default gateway.

S1(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.100

Configure IP connectivity on S1 using VLAN 99

S1(config)#interface vlan 99

S1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

S1(config-if)#no shutdown

Configure the clock using Help

S1#show clock

*0:23:10.172 UTC Mon Mar 1 1993

Setting up Time

S1#clock ?

set Set the time and date

S1#clock set ?

hh:mm:ss Current Time

S1#clock set 12:10:05

S1#clock set 12:10:05 ?

<1-31> Day of the month

MONTH Month of the year

S1#clock set 12:10:05 feb 11 2021

Configure passwords and console/Telnet access

Step 1 Configure the privileged EXEC password.

S1>

S1>enable

S1#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

S1(config)#enable password pass123

Step 2 Configure the passwords for console and Telnet.

Console

S1#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

S1#configure

S1(config)#line console 0

S1(config-line)#password 123

S1(config-line)#login

S1(config-line)#exit

S1(config)#

Telnet.

S1#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

S1(config)#line vty 0 5

S1(config-line)#password 123techxio

S1(config-line)#login

S1(config-line)#exit

Configure the login banner

Types of Banner in Cisco Switch

1. MOTD Banner

2. Login Banner

3. Exec Banner

Configuring MODT

S1#configure

S1#configure terminal

S1(config)#banner motd ?

LINE c banner-text c, where 'c' is a delimiting character

Enter TEXT message. End with the character 'w'.

S1(config)#banner motd welcome to techxio.com router

banner motd 'welcome to techxio.com switch'

Solve a mismatch between duplex and speed

S1#configure terminal

S1(config)#interface fastethernet 0/20

S1(config-if)#speed 100

S1(config-if)#duplex full

S1(config-if)#end

Verify the new duplex and speed settings on the Fast Ethernet interface.

S1#show interface fastethernet 0/20

Manage the MAC address table

Determine the MAC addresses that the switch has learned.

Display the MAC addresses using the show mac-address-table command in privileged EXEC mode.

S1#show mac-address-table

List the show mac-address-table options.

S1#show mac-address-table ?

Show only the MAC addresses from the table that were learned dynamically.

S1#show mac-address-table address <PC1 MAC here>

Clear the MAC address table.

S1#clear mac-address-table dynamic

Set up a static MAC address.

S1(config)#mac-address-table static 00e0.2917.1884 interface fastethernet 0/20 vlan 99

Remove the static MAC entry.

S1(config)#no mac-address-table static 00e0.2917.1884 interface fastethernet 0/20 vlan 99

Configure port security

List the port security options.

S1#configure terminal

S1(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/10

S1(config-if)#switchport port-security ?

mac-address Secure mac address

maximum Max secure addresses

violation Security violation mode

Now configure

Allow only one MAC address.

S1(config-if)#switchport port-security mac-address 48 bit mac address

S1(config-if)#switchport port-security violation shutdown

Or

Allow Maximum mac address can learn

S1(config-if)#switchport port-security maximum 10

S1(config-if)#switchport port-security violation shutdown

(Set the port to shut down if there is a security violation.)

Verifying

S1#show port-security

Secure unused ports

Step 1. Disable all unused ports on S1.

(Shutdown)

Disable all ports that are currently not used on S1.

Manage the switch configuration file

Step 1. Save the current configuration to NVRAM for R1.

Step 2. Back up the startup configuration files for S1 to Server(TFTP).

S1#copy running-config tftp:

Address or name of remote host []? 10.10.15.171

Destination filename [ce_2-confg]? backup_cfg_for_my_router !!

1030 bytes copied in 2.489 secs (395 bytes/sec)

S1#

Storm control Configuration

Storm control prevents LAN interfaces from being disrupted by a broadcast storm. A broadcast storm occurs when broadcast packets flood the subnet, creating excessive traffic and degrading network performance.

Enabling Broadcast Storm Control

S1>

S1>enable

S1#configure terminal

S1(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/1

S1(config-if)#storm-control broadcast level ?

<0.0-100.0> Enter rising threshold

S1(config-if)#storm-control broadcast level 50

S1(config-if)#storm-control ?

broadcast Broadcast address storm control

S1(config-if)#storm-control broadcast ?

level Set storm suppression level on this interface

Specifies the action to be taken when a storm is detected.

S1(config-if)# storm-control action {shutdown | trap}

S1(config-if)#exit

S1(config)#exit

S1#

S1#write

Building configuration...

[OK]

S1#

EtherChanel Modes, configuration of EtherChannel

An EtherChannel is a layer 2 solution that allows you to aggregate multiple layer 2 Ethernet-based connections between directly connected devices. Basically, an EtherChannel bundles together multiple Ethernet ports between devices, providing what appears to be single logical interface. From STP's perspective, it sees the EtherChannel as a single logical connection between the connected devices, which means chat you can actually use all of the individual connections, simultaneously, in the channel you've created.

Recovering Automatically from Error-Disabled Ports - Cisco Switch

Recovering Automatically from Error-Disabled Ports You can also configure a switch to autorecover error-disabled ports after a specified amount of time. By default, the autorecover feature is disabled. Click.
