IOS Switch Config Checklist

The document provides a checklist for configuring a network that includes creating a network diagram, planning IP addressing and VLANs, cabling equipment, configuring switches with VLANs, trunking, management interfaces, port security, and inter-VLAN routing. Key steps include creating the network diagram, configuring the main VTP server, enabling VLAN propagation to other switches, assigning switch ports to VLANs, and configuring inter-VLAN routing.

1.

Create network diagram


2. Create an IP plan based your diagram (subnetting & VLAN numbers / names / assigned ports)
3. Cable equipment per diagram
4. Wipe switch
 delete flash:vlan.dat
 erase startup-config
 reload
5. Perform basic switch config (hostname / passwords / DNS / logging / exec-timeout / login / banner)
6. Disable all switch ports (optional - security best practice)
 int ra f0/1 – 24
 shut
7. Check VTP settings on each switch
 show vtp status
8. Config operating mode, domain name, and VTP password on each switch
 vtp mode <server | client | transparent>
 vtp domain <name>
 vtp password <password>
9. Config trunking and the native VLAN for the trunking ports on all switches
 interface f0/x
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport trunk native vlan <#>
 no shutdown
10. Config VLANs on the main VTP server
 vlan <#>
 name <name>
 exit
11. Check if VLANs created on main VTP server switch have propagated
12. Config management interfaces on all switches
 interface vlan <#>
 ip address <ip_address> <subnet_mask>
 no shut
13. Assign switch ports to VLANs
 int f0/x
 switchport access vlan <#>
14. Enable user ports on access-level switches (ports connected to end-user devices)
 int f0/x
 switchport mode access
 no shut
15. Config port security on the access layer switches
 int f0/x
 switchport port-security
 switchport port-security maximum <#>
 switchport port-security mac-address sticky
16. Config Ethernet interfaces on host PCs (IP / subnet mask / gateway)
17. Config inter-VLAN routing (Router-on-a-Stick)
 int f0/0
 no shut
 int f0/0.x
 encapsulation dot1q <#>
 ip address <ip_address> <subnet_mask>
18. Copy running-config to startup-config on all switches & routers
