Cisco Confidential The Command Structure Basic IOS Command Structure • Keyword – This is a specific parameter defined in the operating system (in the figure, ip protocols). • Argument - This is not predefined; it is a value or variable defined by the user (in the figure, 192.168.10.5).
31 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential The Command Structure IOS Command Syntax Check A command might require one or more arguments. To determine the keywords and arguments required for a command, refer to the command syntax. • Boldface text indicates commands and keywords that are entered as shown. • Italic text indicates an argument for which the user provides the value. Convention Description boldface Boldface text indicates commands and keywords that you enter literally as shown. italics Italic text indicates arguments for which you supply values. [x] Square brackets indicate an optional element (keyword or argument). {x} Braces indicate a required element (keyword or argument). [x {y | z }] Braces and vertical lines within square brackets indicate a required choice within an optional element. Spaces are used to clearly delineate parts of the command.
32 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential The Command Structure IOS Command Syntax Check (Cont.)  The command syntax provides the pattern, or format, that must be used when entering a command.  The command is ping and the user-defined argument is the ip-address of the destination device. For example, ping 10.10.10.5.  The command is traceroute and the user-defined argument is the ip- address of the destination device. For example, traceroute 192.168.254.254.  If a command is complex with multiple arguments, you may see it represented like this:
33 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential The Command Structure IOS Help Features The IOS has two forms of help available: context-sensitive help and command syntax check. • Context-sensitive help enables you to quickly find answers to these questions: • Which commands are available in each command mode? • Which commands start with specific characters or group of characters? • Which arguments and keywords are available to particular commands? • Command syntax check verifies that a valid command was entered by the user. • If the interpreter cannot understand the command being entered, it will provide feedback describing what is wrong with the command.
34 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential The Command Structure Video – Context Sensitive Help and Command Syntax Checker This video will cover the following: • Use the help command in user EXEC, privileged EXEC, and global config mode • Finish commands and arguments with the help command • Use the command syntax checker to fix syntax errors and incomplete commands
35 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential The Command Structure Hot Keys and Shortcuts • The IOS CLI provides hot keys and shortcuts that make configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting easier. • Commands and keywords can be shortened to the minimum number of characters that identify a unique selection. For example, the configure command can be shortened to conf because configure is the only command that begins with conf.
36 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential The Command Structure Hot Keys and Shortcuts (Cont.)  The table below is a brief list of keystrokes to enhance command line editing.

42 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Device Names • The first configuration command on any device should be to give it a unique hostname. • By default, all devices are assigned a factory default name. For example, a Cisco IOS switch is "Switch.” • Guideline for naming devices: • Start with a letter • Contain no spaces • End with a letter or digit • Use only letters, digits, and dashes • Be less than 64 characters in length Note: To return the switch to the default prompt, use the no hostname global config command.
43 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Password Guidelines • The use of weak or easily guessed passwords are a security concern. • All networking devices should limit administrative access by securing privileged EXEC, user EXEC, and remote Telnet access with passwords. In addition, all passwords should be encrypted and legal notifications provided. • Password Guidelines: • Use passwords that are more than eight characters in length. • Use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, special characters, and/or numeric sequences. • Avoid using the same password for all devices. • Do not use common words because they are easily guessed. Note: Most of the labs in this course use simple passwords such as cisco or class. These passwords are considered weak and easily guessable and should be avoided in production environments.
44 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Configure Passwords Securing user EXEC mode access: • First enter line console configuration mode using the line console 0 command in global configuration mode. • Next, specify the user EXEC mode password using the password password command. • Finally, enable user EXEC access using the login command. Securing privileged EXEC mode access: • First enter global configuration mode. • Next, use the enable secret password command.
45 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Configure Passwords (Cont.) Securing VTY line access: • First enter line VTY configuration mode using the line vty 0 15 command in global configuration mode. • Next, specify the VTY password using the password password command. • Finally, enable VTY access using the login command.  Note: VTY lines enable remote access using Telnet or SSH to the device. Many Cisco switches support up to 16 VTY lines that are numbered 0 to 15.
46 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Encrypt Passwords  The startup-config and running-config files display most passwords in plaintext.  To encrypt all plaintext passwords, use the service password-encryption global config command.  Use the show running-config command to verify that the passwords on the device are now encrypted.
47 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Banner Messages  A banner message is important to warn unauthorized personnel from attempting to access the device.  To create a banner message of the day on a network device, use the banner motd # the message of the day # global config command. Note: The “#” in the command syntax is called the delimiting character. It is entered before and after the message. The banner will be displayed on attempts to access the device.
48 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Video – Secure Administrative Access to a Switch This video will cover the following: • Access the command line to secure the switch • Secure access to the console port • Secure virtual terminal access for remote access • Encrypt passwords on the switch • Configure the banner message • Verify security changes

50 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Configuration Files  There are two system files that store the device configuration: • startup-config - This is the saved configuration file that is stored in NVRAM. It contains all the commands that will be used by the device upon startup or reboot. Flash does not lose its contents when the device is powered off. • running-config - This is stored in Random Access Memory (RAM). It 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. • To save changes made to the running configuration to the startup configuration file, use the copy running-config startup-config privileged EXEC mode command.
51 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Alter the Running Configurations If changes made to the running config do not have the desired effect and the running-config has not yet been saved, you can restore the device to its previous configuration. To do this you can: • Remove the changed commands individually. • Reload the device using the reload command in privilege EXEC mode. Note: This will cause the device to briefly go offline, leading to network downtime. If the undesired changes were saved to the startup-config, it may be necessary to clear all the configurations using the erase startup- config command in privilege EXEC mode. • After erasing the startup-config, reload the device to clear the running-config file from RAM.
52 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Video – Alter the Running Configuration This video will cover the following: • Copy the running-config file to the startup-config file • Show the files in the flash or NVRAM directory • Use command shortening • Erase the startup-config file • Copy the start-config file to the running-config file
53 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Capture Configuration to a Text File Configuration files can also be saved and archived to a text document. • Step 1. Open terminal emulation software, such as PuTTY or Tera Term, that is already connected to a switch. • Step 2. Enable logging in to the terminal software and assign a name and file location to save the log file. The figure displays that All session output will be captured to the file specified (i.e., MySwitchLogs).
54 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Capture Configuration to a Text File (Cont.) • Step 3. Execute the show running- config or show startup-config command at the privileged EXEC prompt. Text displayed in the terminal window will be placed into the chosen file. • Step 4. Disable logging in the terminal software. The figure shows how to disable logging by choosing the None session logging option Note: The text file created can be used as a record of how the device is currently implemented. The file could require editing before being used to restore a saved configuration to a device.
55 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Packet Tracer – Configure Initial Switch Settings In this Packet Tracer, you will do the following: • Verify the Default Switch Configuration • Configure a Basic Switch Configuration • Configure a MOTD Banner • Save Configuration Files to NVRAM • Configure a second Switch
56 © 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 2.6 Ports and Addresses
57 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Ports and Addresses IP Addresses • The use of IP addresses is the primary means of enabling devices to locate one another and establish end-to-end communication on the internet. • The structure of an IPv4 address is called dotted decimal notation and is represented by four decimal numbers between 0 and 255. • An IPv4 subnet mask is a 32-bit value that differentiates the network portion of the address from the host portion. Coupled with the IPv4 address, the subnet mask determines to which subnet the device is a member. • The default gateway address is the IP address of the router that the host will use to access remote networks, including the internet.
58 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Ports and Addresses IP Addresses (Cont.) • IPv6 addresses are 128 bits in length and written as a string of hexadecimal values. Every four bits is represented by a single hexadecimal digit; for a total of 32 hexadecimal values. Groups of four hexadecimal digits are separated by a colon “:”. • IPv6 addresses are not case-sensitive and can be written in either lowercase or uppercase. Note: IP in this course refers to both the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. IPv6 is the most recent version of IP and is replacing the more common IPv4.
59 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Ports and Addresses Interfaces and Ports • Network communications depend on end user device interfaces, networking device interfaces, and the cables that connect them. • Types of network media include twisted- pair copper cables, fiber-optic cables, coaxial cables, or wireless. • Different types of network media have different features and benefits. Some of the differences between various types of media include: • Distance the media can successfully carry a signal • Environment in which the media is to be installed • Amount of data and the speed at which it must be transmitted • Cost of the media and installation
60 © 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 2.7 Configure IP Addressing
61 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Configure IP Addressing Manual IP Address Configuration for End Devices • End devices on the network need an IP address in order to communicate with other devices on the network. • IPv4 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 PC, 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. • Next, click Properties to open the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window. Then configure the IPv4 address and subnet mask information, and default gateway. Note: IPv6 addressing and configuration options are similar to IPv4.
62 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Configure IP Addressing Automatic IP Address Configuration for End Devices • DHCP enables automatic IPv4 address configuration for every end device that is DHCP-enabled. • End devices are typically by default using DHCP for automatic IPv4 address configuration. • To configure DHCP on a Windows PC, 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. • Next, click Properties to open the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window, then select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically. Note: IPv6 uses DHCPv6 and SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) for dynamic address allocation.
63 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Configure IP Addressing Switch Virtual Interface Configuration 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: • Enter the interface vlan 1 command in global configuration mode. • Next assign an IPv4 address using the ip address ip-address subnet-mask command. • Finally, enable the virtual interface using the no shutdown command.

  • 32. 42 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Device Names • The first configuration command on any device should be to give it a unique hostname. • By default, all devices are assigned a factory default name. For example, a Cisco IOS switch is "Switch.” • Guideline for naming devices: • Start with a letter • Contain no spaces • End with a letter or digit • Use only letters, digits, and dashes • Be less than 64 characters in length Note: To return the switch to the default prompt, use the no hostname global config command.
  • 33. 43 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Password Guidelines • The use of weak or easily guessed passwords are a security concern. • All networking devices should limit administrative access by securing privileged EXEC, user EXEC, and remote Telnet access with passwords. In addition, all passwords should be encrypted and legal notifications provided. • Password Guidelines: • Use passwords that are more than eight characters in length. • Use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, special characters, and/or numeric sequences. • Avoid using the same password for all devices. • Do not use common words because they are easily guessed. Note: Most of the labs in this course use simple passwords such as cisco or class. These passwords are considered weak and easily guessable and should be avoided in production environments.
  • 34. 44 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Configure Passwords Securing user EXEC mode access: • First enter line console configuration mode using the line console 0 command in global configuration mode. • Next, specify the user EXEC mode password using the password password command. • Finally, enable user EXEC access using the login command. Securing privileged EXEC mode access: • First enter global configuration mode. • Next, use the enable secret password command.
  • 35. 45 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Configure Passwords (Cont.) Securing VTY line access: • First enter line VTY configuration mode using the line vty 0 15 command in global configuration mode. • Next, specify the VTY password using the password password command. • Finally, enable VTY access using the login command.  Note: VTY lines enable remote access using Telnet or SSH to the device. Many Cisco switches support up to 16 VTY lines that are numbered 0 to 15.
  • 36. 46 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Encrypt Passwords  The startup-config and running-config files display most passwords in plaintext.  To encrypt all plaintext passwords, use the service password-encryption global config command.  Use the show running-config command to verify that the passwords on the device are now encrypted.
  • 37. 47 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Banner Messages  A banner message is important to warn unauthorized personnel from attempting to access the device.  To create a banner message of the day on a network device, use the banner motd # the message of the day # global config command. Note: The “#” in the command syntax is called the delimiting character. It is entered before and after the message. The banner will be displayed on attempts to access the device.
  • 38. 48 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Basic Device Configuration Video – Secure Administrative Access to a Switch This video will cover the following: • Access the command line to secure the switch • Secure access to the console port • Secure virtual terminal access for remote access • Encrypt passwords on the switch • Configure the banner message • Verify security changes

  • 40. 50 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Configuration Files  There are two system files that store the device configuration: • startup-config - This is the saved configuration file that is stored in NVRAM. It contains all the commands that will be used by the device upon startup or reboot. Flash does not lose its contents when the device is powered off. • running-config - This is stored in Random Access Memory (RAM). It 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. • To save changes made to the running configuration to the startup configuration file, use the copy running-config startup-config privileged EXEC mode command.
  • 41. 51 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Alter the Running Configurations If changes made to the running config do not have the desired effect and the running-config has not yet been saved, you can restore the device to its previous configuration. To do this you can: • Remove the changed commands individually. • Reload the device using the reload command in privilege EXEC mode. Note: This will cause the device to briefly go offline, leading to network downtime. If the undesired changes were saved to the startup-config, it may be necessary to clear all the configurations using the erase startup- config command in privilege EXEC mode. • After erasing the startup-config, reload the device to clear the running-config file from RAM.
  • 42. 52 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Video – Alter the Running Configuration This video will cover the following: • Copy the running-config file to the startup-config file • Show the files in the flash or NVRAM directory • Use command shortening • Erase the startup-config file • Copy the start-config file to the running-config file
  • 43. 53 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Capture Configuration to a Text File Configuration files can also be saved and archived to a text document. • Step 1. Open terminal emulation software, such as PuTTY or Tera Term, that is already connected to a switch. • Step 2. Enable logging in to the terminal software and assign a name and file location to save the log file. The figure displays that All session output will be captured to the file specified (i.e., MySwitchLogs).
  • 44. 54 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Capture Configuration to a Text File (Cont.) • Step 3. Execute the show running- config or show startup-config command at the privileged EXEC prompt. Text displayed in the terminal window will be placed into the chosen file. • Step 4. Disable logging in the terminal software. The figure shows how to disable logging by choosing the None session logging option Note: The text file created can be used as a record of how the device is currently implemented. The file could require editing before being used to restore a saved configuration to a device.
  • 45. 55 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Save Configurations Packet Tracer – Configure Initial Switch Settings In this Packet Tracer, you will do the following: • Verify the Default Switch Configuration • Configure a Basic Switch Configuration • Configure a MOTD Banner • Save Configuration Files to NVRAM • Configure a second Switch
  • 46. 56 © 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 2.6 Ports and Addresses
  • 47. 57 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Ports and Addresses IP Addresses • The use of IP addresses is the primary means of enabling devices to locate one another and establish end-to-end communication on the internet. • The structure of an IPv4 address is called dotted decimal notation and is represented by four decimal numbers between 0 and 255. • An IPv4 subnet mask is a 32-bit value that differentiates the network portion of the address from the host portion. Coupled with the IPv4 address, the subnet mask determines to which subnet the device is a member. • The default gateway address is the IP address of the router that the host will use to access remote networks, including the internet.
  • 48. 58 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Ports and Addresses IP Addresses (Cont.) • IPv6 addresses are 128 bits in length and written as a string of hexadecimal values. Every four bits is represented by a single hexadecimal digit; for a total of 32 hexadecimal values. Groups of four hexadecimal digits are separated by a colon “:”. • IPv6 addresses are not case-sensitive and can be written in either lowercase or uppercase. Note: IP in this course refers to both the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. IPv6 is the most recent version of IP and is replacing the more common IPv4.
  • 49. 59 © 2019, 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential Ports and Addresses Interfaces and Ports • Network communications depend on end user device interfaces, networking device interfaces, and the cables that connect them. • Types of network media include twisted- pair copper cables, fiber-optic cables, coaxial cables, or wireless. • Different types of network media have different features and benefits.

Cisco Confidential Module Practice and Quiz What did I learn in this module? • All end devices and network devices require an operating system (OS). • Cisco IOS software separates management access into the following two command modes: User EXEC Mode and Privileged EXEC Mode. • Global configuration mode is accessed before other specific configuration modes. From global config mode, the user can enter different subconfiguration modes. • Each IOS command has a specific format or syntax and can only be executed in the appropriate mode. • Basic device configurations- hostname, password, encrypt passwords and banner. • There are two system files that store the device configuration: startup- config and running-config. • IP addresses enable devices to locate one another and establish end- to-end communication on the internet. Each end device on a network must be configured with an IP address.
