How to connect and configure Cisco switch with PC

Requirements.

STEP1:.Cisco Switch

STEP2: A. cisco-rollover-cable

or

STEP2: B.usb-to-serial-adapter-with-console-cable

or

STEP2:C. Usb-to-serial-cable

STEP3: Laptop or Computer

STEP4: Connect-to-Switch

or

After connection it Display for Example:

STEP5: Connect to the device via console

Use a terminal emulation software such as PuTTY and connect to the console of the switch. You will get the initial command prompt “Switch>”

Type “enable” and hit enter. You will get into privileged mode (“Switch#”) 

Now, get into Global Configuration Mode:

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)#
STEP6: Set the system time using the clock set command in privileged EXEC mode.
Switch# clock set 20:09:01 3 Apr 2006

STEP7: Verify the change by entering the show clock command.

access-switch1# show clock
 
20:09:06.079 UTC Thu Apr 3 2006

STEP8: Enter the configure terminal command to enter global 
configurationMode.Switch# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z

Switch(config)#



STEP9: Set up a hostname for the particular switch to distinguish it in the network


Switch(config)# hostname access-switch1
access-switch1(config)#
Configure the system prompt for the switch, and press Return. To remove the new prompt and return the prompt to its default, use the no promptcommand.

access-switch1(config)# prompt Switch1>

STEP10: Configure an administration password (enable secret password)

access-switch1(config)# enable secret somestrongpass

STEP11: Configure a password for Telnet access

access-switch1(config)# line vty 0 15

access-switch1(config-line)# password strongtelnetpass
access-switch1(config-line)# login
access-switch1(config-line)# exit
access-switch1(config)#

STEP12: Define which IP addresses are allowed to access the switch via Telnet

access-switch1(config)# ip access-list standard TELNET-ACCESS
access-switch1(config-std-nacl)# permit 10.1.1.100
access-switch1(config-std-nacl)# permit 10.1.1.101
access-switch1(config-std-nacl)# exit

!Apply the access list to Telnet VTY Lines
access-switch1(config)# line vty 0 15
access-switch1(config-line)# access-class TELNET-ACCESS in
access-switch1(config-line)# exit
access-switch1(config)#

STEP13: Assign IP address to the switch for management

!Management IP is assigned to Vlan 1 by default
access-switch1(config)# interface vlan 1
access-switch1(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.200 255.255.255.0
access-switch1(config-if)# exit
access-switch1(config)#

STEP14: Assign default gateway to the switch

access-switch1(config)# IP default-gateway 10.1.1.254

STEP15: Disable unneeded ports on the switch

! This step is optional but enhances security
! Assume that we have a 48-port switch and we don’t need ports 25 to 48

access-switch1(config)# interface range fe 0/25-48
access-switch1(config-if-range)# shutdown
access-switch1(config-if-range)# exit
access-switch1(config)#

STEP16: Save the configuration
access-switch1(config)# wr

For Beginner's

Full Config

Reset Switch

enable
config terminal
do show vlan

### create vlan

vlan 2
name ansari
do show vlan

### assign port 1 and 2 to vlan 2

interface fastethernet 0/1
switchport mode ?
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 2

interface fastethernet 0/1
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 2


End with CNTL/Z.


vlan 3
name sales
interface range fastethernet 0/3 - 24
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 3

End with CNTL/Z.



#### for gigabit ethernet

interface gigabitethernet 0/1
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 4


### to delete vlan 2

no vlan 2

#### make 24 port to trunk

show interfaces trunk 

## or

do show interface fastethernet 0/24 switchport

enable
config terminal
interface fastethernet 0/24
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
no shut

do show interface fastethernet 0/24 switchport

###or

show interface fastethernet 0/24 switchport
wr
exit
