- Hi, I'm Denise Allen-Hoyt,
and welcome to Up and Running
with Cisco Command-Line Interface Switch Configuration.
In this course,
I will show you how to access the switches CLI
through an out-of-band connection,
using a console cable and a terminal program.
I'll show you how to access
the three different modes on the switch.
The user EXEC, the privileged EXEC,
and the global configuration modes.
Including the commands available in each mode,
I will explain the built-in help features,
help commands, and the Tab key function.
I'll then cover the basic global commands
used to configure essential switch settings.
Then I'll show you how to address a switch
and configure a default gateway.
After that, I'll show you how to modify
the mode of individual ports
and how to configure basic switch port security.
Then I'll cover the commands required
to create and manage VLANs.
I'll show you how to configure and verify the settings
and make sure everything is just right.
So let's get Up and Running with Cisco
Command-Line Interface Switch Configuration.
