Basic Switch Configuration
This is the default VLAN that all ports are assigned to when a switch is first booted on.
What is VLAN 1?
This type of remote connection is the most secure option.
What is SSH (Secure SHell)?
This type of device does not support any features beyond those it came with.
What is a fixed switch?
You should do this to any ports not in use on your switch.
What is shutdown?
This type of communication can only send or receive, not both.
What is half-duplex?
Use this command to set a default gateway on a switch to the address 192.168.0.1.
What is ip default-gateway 192.168.0.1?
This configurable message can be used in court, so long as it has the proper meaning.
What is the motd/banner?
(AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY)
This type of frame forwarding looks at the whole frame before deciding to send it to its destination.
What is store-and-forward switching?
This mode will add physical addresses to the running configuration of your switch.
What is sticky?
When setting up SSH, this is the common modulus used.
What is 1024?
When setting up a management interface, use this VLAN.
What is VLAN 99?
To set up an admin login, you would use this command.
What is username admin?
In this type of domain, devices competed for use of the medium, causing loss of data if using half-duplex communication.
What is collision domain?
A violation mode that acts similar to a bodyguard with an earpiece.
What is restrict mode?
(Does not forward packets, generates a syslog message.)
Before the introduction of this technology, certain cable types were needed for connecting devices.
What is auto-MDIX?
(Automatic Medium-Dependent Interface Crossover)
When the status light is blinking green, it means this is happening on your network.
What is activity/sending and receiving of data?
SSH has more than one version, and this is how you change the version.
What is ip ssh version 2?
The more switches connected together, the larger this domain can become.
What is broadcast domain?
One of three violation modes, this mode does not send data or shut the attacker out.
What is protect mode?
When one network can support many types of data, it is called this.
What is a Converged Network?
Name the three common states of a switch port.
What are Up, Down, and Administratively down?
This command forces logging in with a username and password set up on the device.
What is login local?
If you are trying to connect 30 devices to a 24 port switch, you would be exceeding this.
What is port density?
This violation mode will check against its stored MAC address. If the address does not match, it will place the port in an err-disable state.
What is shutdown mode?
Name the three layers in the hierarchy of borderless switched networks.
What are the Core layer, Distribution layer, and the Access layer?
