Study Notes
CCNA Routing and Switching - Chapter 2
- Cisco IOS software is used on networking devices like switches, routers, wireless access points, and firewalls
- All electronic devices need an operating system
- IOS devices have features and functions, and a command structure, for configuring and managing network devices
- IOS devices can be configured via a command-line interface (CLI) or a graphical user interface (GUI)
- Network devices can be assigned hostnames for easier identification on topology diagrams and during configuration
- Hostnames are shown in CLI prompts
- Administrative access is necessary on network devices
IOS Bootcamp
- Understanding components and functions of Cisco IOS software
- Purpose and capabilities of Cisco IOS
- Accessing and navigating Cisco IOS for configuration
- Command structure of Cisco IOS software
Basic Device Configuration
- Initial network device settings using Cisco IOS software
- Configuring hostnames using the CLI
- Limiting access to device configurations
- Saving the running configuration using IOS commands
Address Schemes
- Configuring IP address parameters for small to medium-sized business networks using an IP addressing scheme
- Understanding how devices communicate across network media
- Configuring host devices with IP addresses
- Verifying end-to-end device connectivity
Cisco IOS Modes of Operation
- Cisco IOS modes use a hierarchical command structure
- Each mode has a distinctive prompt and specific commands for its tasks
Primary Command Modes
- User EXEC mode allows basic monitoring (view-only) commands
- Privileged EXEC mode lets execute configuration and management commands
Configuration Command Modes
- Global configuration mode (global config) affects the overall device operation
- Sub modes like interface mode and line mode allow configurations of network interfaces and communication channels
Navigate Between IOS Modes
- Commands (enable, disable, exit, end, ^z) to move between different command modes
IOS Command Structure
- Cisco IOS commands have specific formats and syntaxes
- Commands often require keywords and arguments
- The command line interpreter checks for errors like incomplete or ambiguous commands
Hot Keys and Shortcuts
- Commands and keywords can be shortened to unique identifiers
- Hotkeys (arrows, tab, control keys) can be used for navigation and actions in the command line
Save Configurations
- Running configuration- stores current device settings in RAM
- Startup configuration- stores settings used when device restarts (stored in NVRAM)
- IOS commands (show startup-config, show running-config, copy running-config startup-config)
Alter the Running Configuration
- Modifying saved configurations
- Using reload command to restore startup configuration
- Using erase startup-config command if needed
IP Addressing Overview
- Devices like computers, printers and servers need an IP address and subnet mask to connect to a network
- IP addresses are expressed as four decimal numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.1.10)
- Subnet mask determines network and host portion
Interfaces and Ports
- Layer 2 switches use physical ports to connect devices
- Virtual interfaces (SVIs) configured for remote management
- VLAN 1 is the default VLAN and has an SVI
Configure IP Addressing for End Devices
- Manually configuring IP addresses on a Windows host
- Using the Control Panel > Network > Sharing Center > Change adapter settings
- Obtaining IP addresses from a DHCP server
Switch Virtual Interface
- Remotely manage a switch by configuring a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) 1 switch virtual interface (SVI)
- SVI needs an IP address, subnet mask, and enabled mode
Verifying Connectivity
- Verifying configuration using IP commands like ipconfig on a Windows host
- Using show ip interface brief command on routers or switches
End-to-End Connectivity Test
- Testing network connectivity with the ping command
