This document describes a lab exercise on configuring a Cisco switch. The objectives are to understand basic configuration commands through Cisco IOS and assess students on their ability to conduct the experiment and assimilate results. The lab involves examining the switch configuration, setting passwords, verifying connectivity by pinging devices, recording MAC addresses, clearing the MAC table, and re-examining the table. Students are evaluated on lab and report assessments based on attributes such as ability to conduct the experiment, data presentation, and conclusions.

Step 2-Examine the current switch configuration
How many Ethernet or Fast Ethernet interfaces does the switch have? 24. What is the range of values shown for the VTY lines? • Vty 0-4. • Vty 5-15. Why does the switch give this response? we haven’t set any start-up configurations yet.
Step 4-Examine the current running configuration
Are there any passwords set on the lines?
No. What does the configuration show as the hostname of this switch?
Step 6-Set the command mode passwords
Which password takes precedence, the enable password or enable secret password? Secret password is encrypted and takes more precedence because it is needed to enable the switch for configuration.
Step 8-Examine the startup configuration file
What is displayed? Configure of the switch. Are all the changes that were entered recorded in the file? Yes. Step 10-Verify connectivity Were the pings successful? Yes. We do it 5 times by pairs of two pcs. Step 11-Record the MAC addresses of the host PC0: 0001.6418.B527 PC1: 000C.CFAD.1326 PC2: 0006.2A5C.AADE PC3: 0030.F2A3.6378 PC4: 0003.E459.7101 Step 12-Determine the MAC addresses that the switch has learned
How many dynamic addresses are there?
5. How many total MAC addresses are there? 5. How many addresses have been user defined? Non. Do the MAC addresses match the host MAC addresses? Yes.
Step 13-Determine the show MAC table options
How many options are available for the show mac-address-table command? 1. How many are there? 5. Step 15-Verify the results
How many total MAC addresses are there now?
Non. Why are there so many? There aren’t any mac addresses shown because we cleared them. How many dynamic addresses are there? Non.
Step 16-Determine the clear MAC table options
How many options are there?
1. In what circumstances would these options be used? To clear the dynamic mac addresses.
Step 17-Examine the MAC table again
How many dynamic addresses are there? Non. After pinging the switch.
