The enable secret password is class.
The enable, VTY, and console password is cisco.
Objectives
■ Create a basic switch configuration and verify it.
■ Determine the switch firmware version.
■ Create two VLANs, name them, and assign member ports to them.
Background/Preparation
When you are managing a switch, the management domain is always VLAN 1. The network administrator’s
workstation must have access to a port in the VLAN 1 management domain. All ports are assigned to
VLAN 1 by default. This lab will help demonstrate how you can use VLANs to separate traffic and reduce
broadcast domains.
Cable a network that is similar to the one in Figure 8-2. The 2950 series switch produced the configuration
output in this lab. Another switch might produce different output. You should execute the following steps
on each switch unless you are specifically instructed otherwise. Instructions are also provided for the 1900
series switch, which initially displays a User Interface Menu. Select the Command Line option from the
menu to perform the steps for this lab.
Start a HyperTerminal session.
Implement the procedure documented in Appendix B, “Erasing and Reloading the Switch,” on all switches
before you continue with this lab.
Task 1: Configure the Switch
Configure the hostnames and passwords, as well as the management VLAN 1 settings for the switch, as
indicated in Table 8-1. If you have problems while performing this configuration, refer to Lab 6-2, “Basic
Switch Configuration.”
Task 2: Configure the Hosts Attached to the Switch
Configure the host to use the same subnet for addresses, masks, and the default gateway as the switch.
Task 3: Verify Connectivity
To verify that the hosts and switch are correctly configured, ping the switch from the hosts.
Were the pings successful? Yes
If the answer is no, troubleshoot the hosts and switch configurations.
Task 4: Show the Cisco IOS Version
It is important that you know the version of the operating system. Differences between versions might
change how you enter commands. Enter the show version command at the user EXEC or privileged
EXEC mode prompt.
Switch_A#show version
What version of the switch IOS is displayed? 12.1(13)EA1
Does this switch have Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition software? Standard
Switch_A#show version
