Study Notes
Cisco Packet Tracer
- Platform for network simulation
- User Interface (UI)
- IOS (Internetwork Operating System)
- Multitasking OS, common in Cisco routers and switches
- Command-Line Interface (CLI) using predetermined commands
- IOS (Internetwork Operating System)
- Network Equipment Dependence
- All network equipment relies on the Operating System
- Components include
- End users
- Switches
- Routers
- Wireless Access Points
- Firewalls
Shell and Kernel
- User Interface for CLI and GUI
- Tasks made through these interfaces
- Communication
- Handles communication between hardware and software
- Resource Management
- Manages hardware resources to meet software requirements
Hardware
- Physical computer components
- Cisco Device Types (Memory)
- ROM (Read-Only Memory)
- Unalterable, responsible for booting
- RAM (Random Access Memory)
- Stores running configuration; data lost upon restart
- ROM (Read-Only Memory)
IOS Access Methods
- Flash Memory
- Stores IOS images, files, etc.
- NVRAM
- Stores startup configuration files; retained after restart
- Common Access Methods
- Console Access
- Used for configuring new devices; doesn't require IP
- Telnet Access
- Common method for remote configuration using terminal emulation
- SSH (Secured Shell):
- Remote access like Telnet, but with public-key cryptography security
- Console Access
- Device Connections
- Device LEDs, especially Cisco 1941 LEDs
- Access Methods
- Console
- Auxiliary
- Virtual Terminal (Telnet/SSH)
- Terminal Emulation Programs (PuTTY, Tera Term, Secure CRT)
IOS Modes of Operation
- Primary Modes
- User EXEC
- Commands like
ping,show(limited),enable, etc.
- Commands like
- Privileged EXEC
- All User EXEC commands, plus debugging, reload,
configure, etc.
- All User EXEC commands, plus debugging, reload,
- Global Configuration
- Commands like
hostname,enable secret,ip route, configuring interfaces (ethernet, serial, BRI).
- Commands like
- Interface Configuration
- IP addressing setup, encapsulation, shutdown/no shutdown.
- Routing Engine Configuration (e.g., router rip, router ospf etc.)
- Line Configuration (e.g. setting passwords, login, modem settings for vty and console)
- User EXEC
