Switch Maintenance
Objective:
In this lab you will learn the basics of switch maintenance including telnetting/using a
web browser to console into a switch, resetting a switch and password recovery on a
switch.
Tools and Materials:
(1) workstation
(1) console cable
(1) switch
(1) straight through cable
Lab Design:
192.168.1.1/24
192.168.1.2/24
192.168.1.1 gw
Step-By-Step Instructions:
Each of these topics are really too small for an individual lab so I lumped them all
together in this one. Before we can do these first two we need an IP address, mask, and
gateway on the workstation and an IP address and mask on the switch. To set up the
switch from the main menu select:
1. [I] IP configuration
2. [I] IP address
a. 192.168.1.1
3. [S] Subnet mask
a. 255.255.255.0
4. then, like our routers, we need a password in order to be able to telnet into this
device:
a. [X] Exit to previous menu
5. [M] Menus
6. [C] Console Settings
7. [M] Modify password
a. cisco
b. cisco
c. enter
