Password encryption is an important setting for securing switch credentials as defaut behavior is saving clear-text passwords in the running-config. The password must be md5 encrypted Switch(config)#enable secret ciscoĬonfigure password encryption on the switch using the global configuration command Test telnet connectivity from the Remote Laptop using the telnet client.Ĭonfigure Switch hostname as LOCAL-SWITCH Switch(config)#hostname LOCAL-SWITCHĬonfigure the message of the day as 'Unauthorized access is forbidden' Switch(config)#banner motd #Ĭonfigure the password for privileged mode access as 'cisco'. Configure the IP address of the switch as 192.168.1.2/24 and it's default gateway IP (192.168.1.1).Ĩ. Configure TELNET access with the following settings :ħ.
Configure CONSOLE access with the following settings :Ħ. Configure password encryption on the switch using the global configuration commandĦ. Configure the password for privileged mode access as 'cisco'. Configure the message of the day as 'Unauthorized access is forbidden'Ĥ. Configure Switch hostname as LOCAL-SWITCHģ. Use the local laptop connect to the switch console and configure the laptop with the right parameters for console access to the Cisco 2960 Catalyst switchĢ. This lab will test your ability to configure basic settings such as hostname, motd banner, encrypted passwords, and terminal options on a Cisco Catalyst 2960 switch emulated in Packet Tracer 7.3.1.ġ.
