Day-2 (March 7, 2017): Configuring a Network Operating System

# Accessing a Cisco IOS Device
 Console: Device is accessible even if no networking services have been configured (out-of-band)
 Telnet: Method for remotely accessing the CLI over a network
 SSH: Remote login like Telnet but utilizes more security
 AUX port: Out-of-band connection using telephone line

# Cisco IOS Modes of Operation

 User executive (User EXEC) mode: Switch> Allows limited # of basic monitoring commands…
 Privileged executive (Privileged EXEC) mode: Switch# allows all monitoring commands…
 Global configuration mode: Switch(config)# allows the configuration of a particular part or
function of the IOS device
# Basic Switch Configuration
Device Names:
 Start with a letter
 Contain no spaces
 End with a letter or digit
 Use only letters, digits, and dashes
 Be less than 64 characters in length
# Securing Device Access
The passwords introduced here are:
 Enable password - Limits access to the privileged EXEC mode
 Enable secret - Encrypted, limits access to the privileged EXEC mode
 Console password - Limits device access using the console connection
 VTY password - Limits device access over Telnet
 Encrypting Password Display
 Banner Messages
 Save and Capture
# Configuring SVI (Switch Virtual Interface)
# Clock Set
# Host name
# Show Command
# TFTP Backup and Restore
Day-1 (March 7, 2017): IP Addressing, Sub-netting and VLSM
# Characteristic of IPv4 Address:
 Deployed: 1981
 Address Size: 32-bits binary address
 Address format: Dotted Decimal Notation and 4 Octets
 Number of Addresses: 2^32 = ~4,294,967,296
# IPv4 Address Structure:
 Network and Host portions:
 Subnet Mask: Used to identify the network/host portion of the IPv4 address
# ANDing: AND Host Address Subnet mask to find the Network Address
# The Prefix Length:
 Written in “slash notation”, a “/” followed by the number of bits set to 1.

# Types of Address in a Network:

 Network Address - First address in the network or The host portion is all 0s.
 Host Address -  Assigned to the end devices & assorted 0s and 1s but never all 0s or all 1s.
 Broadcast Address: The highest address in the network range. The host portion is all 1s.
# IPv4 Address assign to a Host: It can be Static or Dynamic
# IPv4 Communication:
 Unicast - The process of sending a packet from one host to an individual host
 Broadcast - The process of sending a packet from one host to all hosts in the network
 Multicast - The process of sending a packet from one host to a selected group of hosts.
# Types of IPv4 Address:
 Private Address: Hosts that do not require access to the Internet can use private addresses
 Public Address: Hosts that require access to the Internet can use private addresses
# IP Address Range:
 Class A (0-127): 0.0.0.0 – 127.255.255.255; Support 16 million host on each of 128 networks
 Class B (128-191): 128.0.0.0 – 191.255.255.255; Support 65k host on each of 16k networks
 Class C (192-224): 192.0.0.0 – 223.255.255.255; Support 254 host on each of 2 million networks
 Class D (224-239): 224.0.0.0 – 239.255.255.255; Reserve for multicast group
 Class E (240-255): 240.0.0.0 – 255.255.255.255; Reserve for R & D and Future use
# Default Subnet Mask: All host bit = 1, Network bit = 0
 Class A: 255.0.0.0
 Class B: 255.255.0.0
 Class C: 255.255.255.0
# Private address blocks:
 Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8)
 Class B: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12)
 Class C: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 (192.168.0.0/16)
Assignment of IP Address: IANA and RIRs
The major registries are:
 AfriNIC (African Network Information Centre) - Africa Region.
 APNIC (Asia Pacific Network Information Centre) - Asia/Pacific Region.
 ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) - North America Region.
  LACNIC (Regional Latin-American and Caribbean IP Address Registry) - Latin America and some
Caribbean Islands
 RIPE NCC (Reseaux IP Europeans) - Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia
Day-3 (March 8, 2017): Structure Cabling and WiFi Configuration
# Physical Layer Media:
 Copper cable: The signals are patterns of electrical pulses.
 Fiber-optic cable: The signals are patterns of light.
 Wireless: The signals are patterns of microwave transmissions.
# Network Media:There are three main types of copper media used in networking.
 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP): Most common use.
 Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP): The new Ethernet 10GB standard.
 Coaxial:
HOW TO MAKE A Cat 5e PATCH CABLE
Step 1: This procedure generally applies to Cat 5e RJ45 connectors.
Step 2: Cut the cable to the length needed.
Step 3 : Strip back the cable jacket approximately 1 inch.

Step 4: Use the 568-B wiring scheme on both ends for a standard patch cable.

For a crossover type cable use the 568-B scheme on one end and the 568A on the other end.
 Step 5: Bring all of the wires
together as closely as possible.

Step 6: With the connector pins facing up, carefully insert the wires into the connector.
