The process of switch booting sequence:

1. Loads a power-on-self-test (POST) stored in ROM and it checks CPU, DRAM, and flash
subsystems.
2. Starts a boot loader software after successful POST.
3. Boot loader initialize CPU.
4. Then flash file system.
5. Then it finds and loads IOS operating system and gives it control of the switch

Exemplary Switch LED Indicators:


- SYST (system)
o green - system working normally,
o orange - receiving power but not working properly,
o off - no power
- RPS (Redundant Power System)
o Green – connected and ready to supply backup power,
o Blinking green – Connected but unavailable because of another device connected,
o Orange – standby mode or fault condition,
o Blinking orange – internal power is gone, RPS is supplying power,
o Off – RPS off or not connected
- STAT (Port Status)
o Off – no connection or off by admin
o Green – physical connection with port
o Blinking green – active. Sending and receiving data
o Switching from green to orange – link fault
o Orange – blocked to ensure there is no loop (usually on for the first 30 secs while on)
o Blinking orange – blocked to prevent a loop
- DUPLX (Port Duplex)
o Green – full-duplex mode
o Off – half-duplex mode
- SPEED (Port Speed)
o Off – 10mbps
o Green – 100 Mbps
o Blinking green – 1000 Mbps
- PoE (Power over Ethernet Mode)
o Off – PoE is not selected and none of the ports have been denied power or placed in
a fault condition
o Blinking orange – PoE is not selected but at least one of the ports has been denied
power or has a PoE fault
o Green – selected

How to configure a switch – Introduction to Networks

We can administrate ports on switches, for example:

- Duplex full – setting full-duplex


- Speed 100 – set speed to 100 mbps
Auto-MDIX is checking whether the connection can be full-duplex or not and chooses the best way.

Types of frame errors:


- Runt frames – too small frames
- Giants – too big frames
- CRC errors – media or cable error
- Collision (two frames bumped into each other, more frequently on half-duplex)

Simple troubleshooting:

Telnet is unsecure remote access tool for switches. Port 23.

SSH (Secure Shell) Is a secure protocol on TCP port 22.

SSH Configuring:
show ip ssh
ip domain-name cisco.com
crypto key generate rsa
username admin secret ccna
line vty 0 15
transport input ssh
login local
exit
ip ssh version 2
