Lab 1 - Basic switch setup 

 Introduction

A new switch just purchased from Cisco contains no default configuration in it. You need to configure the switch with setup mode using the setup mode or from scratch using the command line interface (CLI) before connecting it in your network environment. As a Cisco certified technician, it is very important to know the basic Cisco switch configuration commands to improve the performances and the security of your internetwork.

Lab instructions

This lab will test your ability to configure basic settings on a cisco switch.

1. Use the local laptop connect to the switch console.

2. Configure Switch hostname as LOCAL-SWITCH

3. Configure the message of the day as "Unauthorized access is forbidden"

4. Configure the password for privileged mode access as "cisco". The password must be md5 encrypted

5. Configure password encryption on the switch using the global configuration command

6. Configure CONSOLE access with the following settings :
- Login enabled
- Password : ciscoconsole
- History size : 15 commands
- Timeout : 6'45''
- Synchronous logging

6. Configure TELNET access with the following settings :
- Login enabled
- Password : ciscotelnet
- History size : 15 commands
- Timeout : 8'20''
- Synchronous logging
7. Configure the IP address of the switch as 192.168.1.2/24 and it's default gateway IP (192.168.1.1).
