    Study Notes

    Accessing a Cisco IOS Device

    • Cisco IOS devices can be accessed for configuration through various methods, including console, SSH, Telnet.
    • Console: A physical connection provides direct access for initial configurations and maintenance.
    • SSH: A secure, virtual connection over the network, offering remote access through a CLI.
    • Telnet: An insecure remote connection, transmitting data in plaintext (not recommended for security reasons).

    Terminal Emulation Programs

    • Connecting to a network device (via console or SSH/Telnet) requires terminal emulation programs such as PuTTY, Tera Term, and SecureCRT.
    • These programs allow for interaction with the device's CLI.

    Cisco IOS Modes

    • User EXEC Mode:
      • Provides limited access for basic monitoring commands.
      • CLI prompt ends with a ">" symbol.
    • Privileged EXEC Mode:
      • Offers access to all commands and features.
      • CLI prompt ends with a "#" symbol.
    • Global Configuration Mode:
      • Used to configure global options on the device.
    • Line Configuration Mode:
      • Configures console, SSH, Telnet, or AUX access.
    • Interface Configuration Mode:
      • Used to configure specific switch ports or router interfaces.
    • Moving from User EXEC Mode to Privileged EXEC Mode: Use the "enable" command.
    • Moving Into/Out of Global Configuration Mode: Use the "configure terminal" command to enter, and "exit" command to exit.
    • Entering/Leaving Line Configuration Mode: Use "line" followed by the management line type to enter, and "exit" to leave.
    • Exiting Subconfiguration Modes: Use the "exit" command to return to global configuration mode.
    • Directly Transitioning Between Subconfiguration Modes: Enter the specific subconfiguration mode command directly.
    • Returning to Privileged EXEC Mode from subconfiguration mode: Use the "end" command or key combination Ctrl+Z.

    Basic IOS Command Structure

    • General Syntax: keyword argument
    • keyword is a specific parameter recognized by the OS.
    • argument is a value or variable specified by the user.
    • Command Syntax Check: The operating system verifies the validity of a command entered by the user. Syntax errors are indicated with feedback messages.
    • Conventions:
      • Boldface Text: Indicates commands and keywords entered literally.
      • Italic Text: Indicates arguments where the user provides the value.
      • Square Brackets [ ]: Denote optional elements (keywords or arguments).
      • Braces { }: Denote required elements (keywords or arguments).
      • Vertical Lines | within Braces: Indicates required choices within an optional element.
      • Spaces: Used to separate command parts.

    IOS Help Features

    • Context-sensitive Help: Enables command exploration within the current mode.
    • Command Syntax Check: Verifies the entered command for validity.

    Hot Keys and Shortcuts

    • Tab Key: Autocomplete a partially entered command, using partial character entries.
    • Backspace Key: Erase the last character.
    • Left Arrow Key or Ctrl+B: Move the cursor one character to the left.
    • Right Arrow Key or Ctrl+F: Move the cursor one character to the right.
    • Up Arrow Key or Ctrl+P: Recall past commands from the history buffer, starting with the most recent.

    Keystrokes for Viewing Command Output

    • Enter Key: Display the next line of output.
    • Space Bar: Display the next page of output.
    • Ctrl-Shift-6: Abort operations (DNS lookups, tracert, pings, etc).

    Exit Commands

    • Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Z: Exit configuration mode and return to Privileged EXEC mode.
    • Ctrl+Shift+6: Abort various operations (DNS lookups, traceroutes, pings, etc.).
    • Any Other Key: End the display string and return to privileged EXEC mode.
