Study Notes
CLI Command Modes
- Two commands used to restrict access to privileged EXEC mode:
enable passwordandenable secret -
enable password: passwords shown in clear text in configuration files -
enable secret: uses strong MD5 algorithm for encryption
Configuring Router Passwords
-
service password-encryption: applies weak encryption to all unencrypted passwords - VTY (Virtual Teletype): a virtual port used for Telnet or SSH access to the device
- VTY solely used for inbound connections to the device
Examining Show Commands
-
show interfaces: displays statistics for all interfaces on a router -
show clock: shows the time set in the router -
show hosts: displays a cached list of host names and addresses -
show users: displays all users who are connected to the router -
show history: displays a history of commands that have been entered -
show flash: displays information about flash memory and what IOS files are stored there -
show version: displays information about the currently loaded software version along with hardware and device information
Configuring Serial and Ethernet Interfaces
-
interface serial 0/0: configures a serial interface -
clock rate 56000: sets the clock rate for the serial interface -
no shutdown: enables the serial interface -
interface Ethernet 0/0: configures an Ethernet interface
Managing Configuration Files
-
copyandpastecan be used to create a backup copy of the configuration -
show running-config: displays the contents of the currently running configuration file -
tftpcan be used to manage configuration files - Environmental variables can be set to download an IOS image from a TFTP server using the
tftpdnldcommand
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
- CDP is used to obtain information about neighboring Cisco devices
- CDP Version 2 (CDPv2) is the most recent release of the protocol
- CDP operates at the data link layer and allows two systems to learn about each other, even if they use different network layer protocols
