1. 1
Experiment on Basic Configuration of Cisco Switch
Purpose:
Grasp the differences on various operating modes of command-line Cisco switch and switching
between modes.
Technical principle:
The switch management is basically divided into two categories, in-band and out-band
management. The out-band management is managing the switch by the switch Console port, and
will not take the network interface of the switch, which needs to configure the purity cable with
close distance. Console port must be used when you first configure the switch.
Step one: Enter into command line operation modes of switches
Switch A >enable
! To the privileged mode
SwitchA#
SwitchA# configure terminal ! To the global configuration mode
SwitchA (config) # interface fastethernet 0/5 ! To F0/5 port mode of switch
Or switchA (config) # interface gigabitethernet 0/5
Switch A (config-if)
Switch A(config-if) # exit ! Return to the previous operation mode
Switch A (config) #
Switch A (config) #
switchA (config-if) # end ! Return to the privileged mode directly

Step two: The basic function of switch command line
Helping information
Switch A> ? ! Displays all executable commands of the current mode
Disable Turn off privileged commands
Enable Turn on privileged commands
Exit Exit from the EXEC
Help Description of the interactive help system
Ping Send echo messages
Rcommand Run command on remote switch
Show Show running system information
telnet Open a telnet connection
traceroute Trace route to destination
switchA#co? ! Displays all beginning with “co” commands of the current mode
configure copy
switchA#copy ? ! Displays the executable parameters after the “copy” command
flash: copy from flash: file system
running-config copy from current system configuration
startup-config copy from startup configuration
tftp: copy from tftp: file system
xmodem copy from xmodem file system
Command abbreviation
SwitchAA#conf ter ! Abbreviation of supporting command on switch command line,
the command represent configure terminal
Switch A (config) #
Automatically command appending
SwitchA#con (press the “TAB” button to automatically append “configure”)
! Automatically append command supporting of the switch
SwitchA#configure
Shortcut of the commands
switchA(config-if) # ^Z ! Ctrl+z return to the privileged mode
switchA# ping 1.1.1.1
sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1.1.1.1,
timeout is 2000 milliseconds.
.
SwitchA#

3. 3
If you execute the ping1.1.1.1 command as above under privileged mode of switch, and can not
ping the destination address, the switch need to send 5 data packets on the default situation and if
you do not want the feedback that all the five packets can not ping the destination address, you can
terminate the current operation by performing ctrl + c before the fives are not sent out.
Note:
When the command line operation is automatically appending or abbreviating commands, the
required letter must be able to only distinguish the command, such as the switchA # conf can
represent configure, but switchA # co can not represent configure, since the beginning of the co
command has two copy and configure, the device can not distinguish.
Pay attention to distinguish the executable command types under each operating mode. The switch
can not execute the command while cross the mode.
