Q & A
What is the main focus of the video?
-The video focuses on CCNA version 7, specifically demonstrating basic switch and end-device configuration using Cisco Packet Tracer.
What initial setup is required to access the switches?
-The setup involves using a console connection to access each switch from a PC through the console port on the switch and the RS-232 port on the PC.
What are the key tasks involved in this Packet Tracer activity?
-The key tasks include configuring hostnames and IP addresses on Cisco switches, setting passwords for console and VTY lines, encrypting passwords, and configuring a message of the day (MOTD) banner.
How is the hostname set on a switch?
-To set the hostname, the user enters privileged EXEC mode using the command 'enable,' then goes into global configuration mode with 'configure terminal.' The command 'hostname <name>' is used to set the hostname.
What is the purpose of setting passwords for console and VTY lines?
-Setting passwords for console and VTY lines ensures secure access to the switch, both locally (console) and remotely (VTY).
How is password encryption applied on the switch?
-The command 'service password-encryption' is used to encrypt plain-text passwords to enhance security.
What is the function of the MOTD banner, and how is it configured?
-The Message of the Day (MOTD) banner is used to display a warning or informational message to anyone accessing the switch. It is configured using the command 'banner motd' followed by the message text.
How are IP addresses assigned to the devices in this activity?
-IP addresses are assigned by accessing the device's terminal, going into interface VLAN1 configuration, and using the 'ip address <address> <subnet mask>' command, followed by the 'no shutdown' command to activate the interface.
How is the switch configuration saved?
-The configuration is saved by using the command 'copy running-config startup-config' in privileged EXEC mode, ensuring that settings persist after a reboot.
How is connectivity verified between the devices?
-Connectivity is verified by using the 'ping' command from one PC to another, testing if the IP addresses assigned to each device can communicate successfully.

hi friends welcome to war in this video
we are going to discuss CCNA version 7
packet tracer activity basic switch and
anti device configuration before coming
to this activity first if you are
watching our channel first time or if
you like to get this type of technical
videos in future considered subscribing
also don't forget to enable that bill
icon near the subscribe button so that
you will get notification message
whenever we upload a new video also if
you need any technical support or any
help or if you like to get this packet
tracer activity file you can contact our
team using our website link I given in
the description now coming back to our
packet tracer activity here we can see
our a dressing-table devices such as
Class A Class B here we can see those
two switches also we can see two anti
devices to ten to one and their student
two here we can see IP address and
subnet to mask for each devices okay in
this activity we will configure house
names and IP addresses on to cisco
internetwork operating system switches
using the command-line interface then we
will use the Cisco IOS commands to
specify or a limit access to device
configurations also we will use iOS
commands to save the running
configuration then we will configure to
host devices with IP addresses and
finally we will verify connectivity
between these two pieces I mean with
these NT devices pure a recently hired
land technician your network manager has
asked you to demonstrate your ability to
configure a small land our tasks include
configuring initial settings on two
switches using the cisco is and
configuring IP address parameters on
house devices to provide end-to-end
connectivity so you are to use two
switches and two
house two pcs on a cable and pervert
network yes this is what we are going to
do in this packet tracer activity here
we can see the instructions configure
the devices to fulfill the requirements
below here we can see the requirements
use a console connection to access each
switch yes only we done basic
configurations also cancel connection
with our previous a packet tracer
activities
hence this packet tracer activity will
be more easy for us okay first of all we
will connect our switch using console
connection so coming to connections sure
we can see console we will let's select
the console then from switch class a we
will select console port to this student
PC student - 1 you will connect to
rs-232 same way we can connect class - B
switch to our PC student - - sure is our
console cable coming to class - B we
will connect to console port then in
student - - we will connect to rs-232
this connection is obviously for the
basic configuration of these network
devices so next is we are going to set
the hostname class - a and class - B -
these switches now we will access so
this switch class - a using this ng
device piece student - one so we will go
to student - one then we will go to the
stop and here we can see terminal then
click ok and here we can see now we are
in switch class - a we will set the
hostname we'll go to
privileged exit more and then we'll go
to global configuration mode enable
configure terminal press enter so here
we are going to set the hostname as
class - a then press Enter
and here we can see that change in this
prompt next we will go to a class -
beasts which we can access using this
entry device to run - - we'll go to
desktop terminal then ok let's enter
enable configure terminal here we are
going to set the hostname as + - b press
enter and here we can see that change it
is prompt next is a use the r4 xe3 so
this is the password for all lines that
means for a console as well as for VG
vine we will do that we will copy this
password we will let do in this class -
be okay sure first of all we will go to
line console 0 then we will set the
password here as specified it's here we
already copied that then we have to give
a login command now we will exit then we
will go to line vty 0 - we will give all
the lines from 0 to 15 we will give you
the password it's here also we will give
login
now we will go to class - a will go to
the center device or we close that
window so again we will go to terminal
ok here we will go to line console 0
then we will set the password it's here
you will exit and we will go to line vty
all the lines 0 to 15 password it's here
let's it next is they use this password
see for a J a a secret password okay so
we will copy this password we can see
it's the case sensitive it's for scoring
purpose first of all we will do it for
our switch class - a sure we will give
an enable secret and a hurry sort
password press enter now we will go to
you configure in a class - B enable
secret and here is the password know it
gripped all clear text passwords so we
know the command service password
encryption so we will give that here
Servais password encryption then press
enter now we will go to student to one
service password encryption then
configure an appropriate message of the
day that is M or TD banner okay that can
be done we have the commands BA in an ER
banner message of the day M our TD then
we have to give our
banner we will start with the delimiter
and authorized access is strictly
prohibited
presenter no we will do it on glass - be
coming to int device how terminal here
we will give banner motd then our
message warning and authorized access is
strictly prohibited any message right
next is configure addressing for all
devices for these four devices according
to our addressing table so here we can
see our addressing table so as per our
addressing table we are going to set IP
address for these devices first of all
may be the same IP address for this int
devices 2 n - 1
no addressing table we can see IP
address for this NT device we will copy
this address also we can see it's a SATA
mask coming to student 2 1 we will close
this terminal and we will go to IP
configuration and here in this IP
configuration we will give the IP
address then it's a subjective mask so
it's correct here we can see it took the
default something to mask but here we
can we can see they given something to
mask a slash 24 just you will copy this
and we will paste here so it's done now
we will have seen IP address for our
next gen 2 device so that is 2 n - 2 we
will close this a terminal then coming
to
IP configuration in our addressing table
here we can see IP address for this
device will copy and paste here and it's
something to mask it's done next we are
going to and say an IP address for these
devices class - a and class - B for the
interface vlan1 we will copy the IP
address of class - a then we will go to
a student - one terminal ok now we are
in a global configuration mode we have
to go to interface vlan1
and the here we are going to set the IP
address here is the IP address then be
something to mask then we have to give
an ocean command next we will do it on
class - be sure we can see IP address
coming to student - - we'll go to
terminal
ok and here we will go to the interface
vlan1
then we have to set the IP address as
per our dressing table it's here then
it's something to mask then we have to
give an ocean command so we are saying
IP address for all the devices next to
be able to save our configurations we
can do that we will press control sir
the so that we can go to privileged x ik
mode then press Enter here we are going
to copy our u n tab st tab press ENTER
ok now we will go to student that - to
control third presenter copy
running-config startup-config okay
finally we are going to verify a
connectivity between all devices okay we
will ping from student - one - this in
device - run - - you will get the IP
address of a student - - it's your we
will copy that
coming to student - one we will go to
command prompt it's working
sure they're given and not click check
results to see your progress click reset
activity to generate a new set of
requirements if you click on this before
you complete the activity all
configurations will be lost so whenever
you open you may get different
requirements maybe this hostname made
changes or password changes there will
be some number of devices we have to do
all these basic configurations nothing
else here in this activity we can see
our completion status is hundred
percentage and in this activity we have
seen a basic switch and the entry device
configuration now dear friends if you
have any doubt any suggestions please
comment below also if you liked our
video give it thumb and share with all
your friends and if you like to contact
our team you can restore website a link
I given the description so stay tuned
and we will meet again with the next
video thank you
