CCNA Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide - FTP Server

The CCNA courseware for the new CCNA exam covers the
Cisco Catalyst 1900 switch. You need to have a good understanding of how
this switch works.
The 1900 switch is a low-end model in the Cisco Catalyst switch family.
You can buy two different models in the Catalyst 1900 switch family: the
1912 and the 1924. The 1912 switches have 12 10BaseT ports and the 1924
switches have 24 10BaseT ports. Each has two 100Mbps uplinks—either
twisted-pair or fiber.
Since the 1900 switch can now run a version of the Cisco IOS, you can use
it to thoroughly understand switching through all Cisco switching products.
Not all Cisco switches run a version of the IOS, but they will eventually.
In this appendix, you will learn how to start up and configure a Cisco Catalyst
1900 switch using the Command-Line Interface (CLI). I will begin by
explaining how to connect a console cable, and then I will discuss what happens
when a 1900 switch is powered up. After you learn how to connect a
console cable to the switch and get the switch working, I will teach you the
basic configuration commands that you can use on the 1900 switch.
After you learn the basic commands, I will show you how to configure
Virtual LANs (VLANs) on the switch as well as ISL routing and Virtual
Trunk Protocol (VTP).
The basic commands covered in this appendix include the following:
� Setting the passwords
� Setting the hostname
� Configuring the IP address and subnet mask
� Identifying the interfaces
� Setting a description on the interfaces
