Basic Cisco Switch Configuration - 3. Create and Enable VTP on Network

Image
  👇 Enable VTP Config on Network 👇 If you get a CCNA job, it is likely that you will manage a lot of switches. You will work a lot with VLANs , adapting the network to business needs. Since this could potentially eat all of your time, we can use some tools to make our job fast. VTP – VLAN Trunk Protocol, is one of the tools that Cisco offers for that. With VTP, we can propagate VLAN changes to all our switches in seconds. However, to do that we need to understand how the VLAN Trunk protocol works. If used in the wrong way, it can destroy your network.  Click on  HERE  to reach video tutorial.  VTP Modes With VTP version 1 and 2, each switch can play three different roles:  server ,  client  and  transparent . A switch in  server mode  will allow the administrator to configure VLANs (or modify/delete them). It will increase the revision number on each modification and propagate the database to other switches. This is the default. In  client mode , the switch doesn’t allow the configur

Basic Cisco Switch Configuration - 2. Create and Modify VLAN

 What is VLAN..? How Create VLAN..?  👇👇Please Find Below.. 👇👇 VLANs allow you to logically segment a LAN into different broadcast domains. In scenarios where sensitive data may be broadcast on a network, VLANs can be created to enhance security by designating a broadcast to a specific VLAN. Only users that belong to a VLAN are able to access and manipulate the data on that VLAN. VLANs can also be used to enhance performance by reducing the need to send broadcasts and multicasts to unnecessary destinations. Click on  HERE  to reach video tutorial.  Below is the steps to be followed Crate a Packet Tracer Topology Lab Log into the switch using console or SSH (👈  Click on here to see how enable SSH access on switch  ) Configure Initial Setup on switch Create VLAN ID and give proper name Assign Ports/Multiple Ports to VLAN Modify VLAN (Rename, Delete, Change assigned Ports, Etc..)

Basic Cisco Switch Configuration - 1. Enable SSH

Image
 Below is the steps need to be followed for enable SSH. Click on  HERE  to reach video tutorial  Crate a Packet Tracer Topology Lab Basic IP Setting for connectivity Set hostname and domain-name on Switch Set console and enable password for SSH login Generate the RSA Keys Setup the Line VTY configurations Create the username password for SSH access from PC Verify SSH access Packet Tracer Lab Topology Basic IP Setting for connectivity The next step is assign ip address to all devices. For keeping it simple and making basic connectivity we will assign just two IP address to these device. We will assign the IP address to PC. For this will open the PC setting and then IP configuration. Here we will assign 192.168.1.1 for PC and 192.168.1.20 for switch both will use 255.255.255.0 as subnet. Switch> enable Switch# config t Switch (config)#interface vlan 1 Switch (config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.20 255.255.255.0 Switch (config -if)#no shut Set host-name and domain-name on Switch For SSh c
