NVRAM
startup config is stored in NVRAM
IOS
stored in flash and RAM
Context sensitive help
provides the user with a list of commands and the arguments associated with those commands within the current mode of a networking device
syntax checker
provides error checks on submitted commands
To quickly see new banner message
While at the privileged mode prompt such as Router#, type exit,press Enter
Control Z
Exits configuration mode and returns to the EXEC
Control Shift 6
Allows the user to interrupt an IOS process such as ping or traceroute
Control C
cancels any command currently being entered and returns directly to privileged EXEC mode
kernel
part of operating system that interacts directly with hardware
shell
part of os that interacts with application & user
kernel
communicates between the hardware & software of the computer and manages how hardware resources are used to meet software requirements
shell
the user interface that allows users to request specific tasks from the computer. These requests can be made either through CLI or GUI interfaces.
firmware
operating system on home router
operating system
Infrastructure network devices use a network operating system.
IOS
network operating system used on Cisco devices - Cisco Internetwork Operating System
CLI
most common methos of accessing IOS
IOS
several meg in size & stored in semi-permanent memory called flash
non-volatile storage
"data not lost when power is lost, but can be changed or overwritten; can have multiple versions of IOS"
RAM
the IOS is copied from flash & runs in RAM which is volatile; IOS running in RAM is faster than from flash
Functions of Cisco routers & switches
"1) provide network security 2) IP addressing of virtual & physical interfaces 3) enabling interface-specific configurations to optimize connectivity of the respective media routing 4) enabling QoS technologies 5) supporting network management technologies
respective media"
CCO
Cisco Connection Online
Cisco website
www.cisco.com
K9
supports encryption
console
out of band access - don't need network access
telnet & SSH
require an active networking interface to work
CLI
uses a hierarchical structure for its modes
hierarchy
user exec -> Privelege exec -> global config -> Interface/router/switch/line
Global config
setting name of host
passwords
different authentication/password can be set for each hierarchical level
>
user exec mode
#
privilege exec mode
user exec mode
view only; remote access
configure terminal
takes from priv exec to global config
exit
to go back to global configuration mode from submode
end or Control Z
to exit configuration mode all together
Priv exec mode
sometimes called enable mode
disable
to go from priv exec to user exec
if type exit in priv exec mode ?
session ends
exit
"when in config mode, to move up one hierarchy level"
end or Control Z
to move from any submode to priv exec
global config submode
"to move from any submode of global configuration to another ""immediate"" submode, type in the submode command as you would if you were at global config level"
disable
to leave priv exec
exit
"if entered when in priv exec, leaves console session\"
keywords
determine where or how to execute; predefined words
commands
not case sensitive
argument
not a predefined word; it is a value or variable defined by user
syntax
provides pattern or format that must be entered
Out-of-band access
refers to access via a dedicated management channel that is used for device maintenance purposes only.
console
"by default, conveys the device startup, debugging, and error messages."
Lost password
"In the event that a password is lost, there is a special set of procedures for bypassing the password and accessing the device"
telnet & SSH
Cisco devices have telnet/SSH services to allow connections in & out
SSH
secure shell
SSH
provides a remote login like telnet but more secure
SSH
provides stronger password authentication & encryption when transporting data
AUX
"functions like console in that you don't need a network connection; however, it does not show device startup, debugging, and error messages by default"
Console
"Console is preferred over AUX because Console displays startup, debugging, and error message information by default."
Cisco Catalyst Switches
do not support AUX
Console connection
is a serial connection
Examples of terminal emulators
"Putty, Terra Term, SecureCRT, HyperTerminal, OS X Terminal"
AUX
can connect a modem to it & access it out of band like sitting at console
Mode for ping
User exec mode
Cisco IOS Command Reference
"Syntax, Default, Mode, History, Usage Guidelines, Examples"
Cisco IOS Command Reference
www.cisco.com->Support->Networkng Software->15.2M&T->Reference Guides->CommandReferences
?
to access context sensitive help -> immediate response -> no need to press enter key
IOS
"generally only provides negative feedback when a command is entered; if nothing is returned, the command was done successfully"
Command Sytax Check errors that can be returned
1) incomplete command 2) ambiguous command 3) invalid input
Incomplete command
the IOS returns a help message indicating that required keywords or arguments wree left off the end of the command.
Ambiguous command
The IOS returns a help message to indicate that there were not enough characters entered for the command interpreter to recognize the command
Invalid input
the IOS returns a ^ to indicate where the command interpreter can not decipher the command
Down arrow
scroll forward through former commands
Up arrow
scroll backward through former commands
tab
completes the remainder of a partially typed commad or keyword
Ctrl-A
moves to the beginning of a line
Ctrl-E
moves to the end of a line
Ctrl-R
redisplays a line
Ctrl-Z
Exits the configuration mode & returns to priv exec mode
Ctrl-C
interrupts the entry of a command & exits config mode
Ctrl-Shift-6
allows the user to interrupt an IOS process such as ping or traceroute
At the More prompt - Enter key
displays the next line
At the More prompt - Space bar
displays the next screen
At the More prompt - any key
"ends the display string, returning to privileged EXEC mode"
Backspace
Erases the character to the left of the cursor
Ctrl-P
displays previously entered commands
Ctrl-N
scrolls forward through the history to display the more recent commands
Show
basic examination command
show interfaces
displays statistics for all interfaces on the device
show startup-config
displays the saved configuration located in NVRAM
show running-config
displays the contents of the currently running configuration file
more prompt
when a command returns more output than can be displayed on a single screen
show version
"displays information about the currently loaded IOS version, along with hardware & device information"
USB Console port
some routers have a USB console port in addition to the serial console port
Serial Console port
nearly all Cisco devices have a serial console port
PC->Cisco switch
connect a PC to a Cisco switch with a rollover console cable
RJ-45
Connect the rollover console cable to the RJ-45 console port on the switch
Serial COM port
Serial COM ports are no longer available on most computers today; A USB-to-DB9 adapter can be used with the rollover console cable
USB-to-DB9 adapter
converts serial to USB
Default paramaters for console port
"9600 baud rate, 8 bit data, 1 stop bit, no flow control"
mini-USB cable
used to access USB ort on router console port
