This document provides a cheat sheet of commands for configuring Cisco switches using both IOS and CLI switches. It lists commands for setting the hostname and system name, passwords, remote access, CDP configuration, port descriptions, port speeds, duplex settings, static VLAN configuration, trunk line configuration, VTP configuration, port channel configuration, STP settings, enabling Port Fast and UplinkFast, and recovering router passwords. It also provides contact information for a Cisco networking equipment wholesaler.

13 Starting the VTP tailoring based on the IOS switch:
Switch# VLAN database
Switch (VLAN VTP pruning) #
Starting the VTP tailoring based on the CLI switch:
Switch (enable) set VTP pruning enable
14 Configuring Ethernet channel based on the IOS switch :
Switch (config-if) port group group-number #
Configuring Ethernet channel based on the CLI switch :
Switch (enable) set port channel moudle/port-range mode{on|off|desirable|auto}
