Basic Device Configuration
Device Names
• The first configuration command on any device should be to
give it a unique hostname.
• By default, all devices are assigned a factory default name.
For example, a Cisco IOS switch is "Switch.”

• Guideline for naming devices:

• Start with a letter
• Contain no spaces
• End with a letter or digit
Note: To return the switch to the default
• Use only letters, digits, and dashes
prompt, use the no hostname global
• Be less than 64 characters in length config command.

Basic Device Configuration
Password Guidelines
• The use of weak or easily guessed passwords are a security concern.
• All networking devices should limit administrative access by securing privileged EXEC,
user EXEC, and remote Telnet access with passwords. In addition, all passwords should
be encrypted and legal notifications provided.

• Password Guidelines:
• Use passwords that are more than eight
characters in length.
• Use a combination of upper and lowercase
letters, numbers, special characters, and/or
numeric sequences. Note: Most of the labs in this course use simple
passwords such as cisco or class. These passwords
• Avoid using the same password for all devices. are considered weak and easily guessable and should
• Do not use common words because they are be avoided in production environments.
easily guessed.

Basic Device Configuration
Configure Passwords
Securing user EXEC mode access:
• First enter line console configuration mode
using the line console 0 command in global
configuration mode.
• Next, specify the user EXEC mode password
using the password password command.
• Finally, enable user EXEC access using
the login command.

Securing privileged EXEC mode access:

• First enter global configuration mode.
• Next, use the enable secret password command.

Securing VTY line access:
• First enter line VTY configuration mode
using the line vty 0 15 command in
global configuration mode.
• Next, specify the VTY password using
the password password command.
• Finally, enable VTY access using
the login command.

 Note: VTY lines enable remote access using Telnet or SSH to the device. Many Cisco
switches support up to 16 VTY lines that are numbered 0 to 15.

Basic Device Configuration
Banner Messages
 A banner message is important to warn
unauthorized personnel from attempting
to access the device.
 To create a banner message of the day
on a network device, use the banner The banner will be displayed on attempts to access the device.

Save Configurations
Configuration Files
 There are two system files that store the device configuration:
• startup-config - This is the saved configuration file that is stored in NVRAM. It contains all the commands that will be
used by the device upon startup or reboot. Flash does not lose its contents when the device is powered off.
• running-config - This is stored in Random Access Memory (RAM). It reflects the current configuration. Modifying a
running configuration affects the operation of a Cisco device immediately. RAM is volatile memory. It loses all of its
content when the device is powered off or restarted.
• To save changes made to the running configuration to the startup configuration file, use the  copy running-config
startup-config privileged EXEC mode command.

© 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 12
Save Configurations
Alter the Running Configurations
If changes made to the running config do not
have the desired effect and the running-config
has not yet been saved, you can restore the
device to its previous configuration. To do this
you can:
• Remove the changed commands individually.
• Reload the device using the reload command
in privilege EXEC mode. Note: This will cause
the device to briefly go offline, leading to
network downtime.
If the undesired changes were saved to the
startup-config, it may be necessary to clear all
the configurations using the erase startup-
config command in privilege EXEC mode.
• After erasing the startup-config, reload the
device to clear the running-config file from
RAM.

Save Configurations
Video – Alter the Running Configuration

This video will cover the following:

• Copy the running-config file to the startup-config file
• Show the files in the flash or NVRAM directory
• Use command shortening
• Erase the startup-config file
• Copy the start-config file to the running-config file

Save Configurations
Capture Configuration to a Text File
Configuration files can also be saved and
archived to a text document. 
• Step 1. Open terminal emulation software,
such as PuTTY or Tera Term, that is already
connected to a switch.
• Step 2. Enable logging in to the terminal
software and assign a name and file location
to save the log file. The figure displays that All
session output will be captured to the file
specified (i.e., MySwitchLogs).

© 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 15
Save Configurations
Capture Configuration to a Text File (Cont.)
• Step 3. Execute the show running-
config or show startup-config command at
the privileged EXEC prompt. Text displayed in
the terminal window will be placed into the
chosen file.
• Step 4. Disable logging in the terminal
software. The figure shows how to disable
logging by choosing the None session logging
option

Note: The text file created can be used as a record of

how the device is currently implemented. The file could
require editing before being used to restore a saved
configuration to a device.

Ports and Addresses
IP Addresses
• The use of IP addresses is the primary means of
enabling devices to locate one another and
establish end-to-end communication on the
internet.
• The structure of an IPv4 address is called dotted
decimal notation and is represented by four
decimal numbers between 0 and 255.
• An IPv4 subnet mask is a 32-bit value that
differentiates the network portion of the address
from the host portion. Coupled with the IPv4
address, the subnet mask determines to which
subnet the device is a member.
• The default gateway address is the IP address of
the router that the host will use to access remote
networks, including the internet.

© 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 19
Ports and Addresses
IP Addresses (Cont.)
• IPv6 addresses are 128 bits in length and
written as a string of hexadecimal values.
Every four bits is represented by a single
hexadecimal digit; for a total of 32
hexadecimal values. Groups of four
hexadecimal digits are separated by a colon
“:”.
• IPv6 addresses are not case-sensitive and
can be written in either lowercase or
uppercase.

Note: IP in this course refers to both the IPv4 and IPv6

protocols. IPv6 is the most recent version of IP and is
replacing the more common IPv4.

© 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 20
Ports and Addresses
Interfaces and Ports
• Network communications depend on end
user device interfaces, networking device
interfaces, and the cables that connect
them.
• Types of network media include twisted-
pair copper cables, fiber-optic cables,
coaxial cables, or wireless.
• Different types of network media have
different features and benefits. Some of
the differences between various types of
media include:
• Distance the media can successfully carry a signal
• Environment in which the media is to be installed
• Amount of data and the speed at which it must be
transmitted
• Cost of the media and installation

Configure IP Addressing
Manual IP Address Configuration for End Devices
• End devices on the network need an IP address in
order to communicate with other devices on the
network.
• IPv4 address information can be entered into end
devices manually, or automatically using Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
• To manually configure an IPv4 address on a Windows
PC, open the Control Panel > Network Sharing
Center > Change adapter settings and choose the
adapter. Next right-click and select Properties to
display the Local Area Connection Properties.
• Next, click Properties to open the Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window. Then
configure the IPv4 address and subnet mask
information, and default gateway. Note: IPv6 addressing and configuration
options are similar to IPv4.

© 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 23
Configure IP Addressing
Automatic IP Address Configuration for End Devices
• DHCP enables automatic IPv4 address
configuration for every end device that is
DHCP-enabled.
• End devices are typically by default
using DHCP for automatic IPv4 address
configuration.
• To configure DHCP on a Windows PC, open
the Control Panel > Network Sharing
Center > Change adapter settings and
choose the adapter. Next right-click and
select Properties to display the Local Area
Connection Properties.
• Next, click Properties to open the Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
Properties window, then select Obtain an Note: IPv6 uses DHCPv6 and SLAAC (Stateless
IP address automatically and Obtain DNS Address Autoconfiguration) for dynamic address
server address automatically. allocation.

Configure IP Addressing
Switch Virtual Interface Configuration
To access the switch remotely, an IP address and a subnet mask must be configured on
the SVI. 
To configure an SVI on a switch:
• Enter the interface vlan 1 command in global configuration mode.
• Next assign an IPv4 address using the ip address ip-address subnet-mask command.
• Finally, enable the virtual interface using the no shutdown command.

Configure the Default Gateway
Default Gateway on a Host
• The default gateway is used
when a host sends a packet to a
device on another network.
• The default gateway address is
generally the router interface
address attached to the local
network of the host.
• To reach PC3, PC1 addresses a
packet with the IPv4 address of
PC3, but forwards the packet to
its default gateway, the G0/0/0
interface of R1.
Note: The IP address of the host and the router
interface must be in the same network.

© 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 46
Configure the Default Gateway
Default Gateway on a Switch
• A switch must have a
default gateway address
configured to remotely
manage the switch from
another network.
• To configure an IPv4
default gateway on a
switch, use the ip default-
gateway ip-address global
configuration command.
