    Parameters for the CLI connection to the switch can be set to preferred values. Using Cisco IOS Software Cisco IOS Software has two basic user modes for switch administration and a number of other modes that enable you to control the configuration of the switch. In addition to a variety of modes, Cisco IOS Software provides features such as help and command-line editing that enable you to interact with the switch for management purposes.

    Chapter 3: Supervisor Engine Configuration 39 Permanently remove a file from Class A Flash memory: (privileged) squeeze filesystem If you want to permanently remove a file that has been deleted from a Class A file system, you must squeeze the file system.

    Alias Commands Because the new file system functionality is the third generation of file management sys- tems for Cisco IOS, alias commands have been established to provide backward compati- bility for commands that existed in previous operating systems. This backward compati- bility enables you to use file management commands that you might have learned in pre- vious releases without having to relearn the new command structure.

  • Page 112: Vlan Port Assignments

    Configuring Static VLANs On a Cisco switch, ports are assigned to a single VLAN. These ports are referred to as access ports and provide a connection for end users or node devices, such as a router or server.

The authentication server authenticates each client connected to a switch port and assigns the port to a VLAN before making available any services offered by the switch or the LAN. Until the client is authenticated, 802.1X access control enables only Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL) traffic through the port to which the client is connected.

  • Page 114: Verifying Vlan Assignments

    Trunk links must be configured to allow trunking on each end of the link. Enabling Trunking Trunk links are required to pass VLAN information between switches. A port on a Cisco switch is either an access port or a trunk port. Access ports belong to a single VLAN and do not provide any identifying marks on the frames that pass between switches.
  • Page 115 Tip Remember that not all switches support DTP and might not establish a trunk without intervention. Also remember that DTP offers no benefit when you are trunking with a non- Cisco switch. To eliminate any overhead associated with DTP, it is useful to use the nonegotiate option when DTP is not supported.
  • Page 116 Note Cisco 2950 and 3500XL switches do not support DTP and are always in a mode similar to nonegotiate. If you turn trunking on for one of these devices, it will not negoti- ate with the other end of the link and requires that the other link be configured to on or nonegotiate.

As a result, remember that the port or path cost used for a bundled EtherChannel will be based on the bundled bandwidth.

    A Catalyst switch is configured to support an IP Phone on a port. The switch supports inline power, but the switch port might connect to a regular PC or to a Cisco IP Phone. The port is set to automatically detect a device that supports inline power. The access or port VLAN ID (PVID) is set to VLAN number 55.

    Appendix A: Cabling Quick Reference 267 Back-to-Back Connections In a lab setup or in certain circumstances, you might find that you need to connect two switches or two routers to each other in a back-to-back fashion. Normally, some other active device is used to connect router interfaces. For example, an Ethernet hub or switch, a Token Ring media attachment unit (MAU), and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) all perform an active role in interconnecting routers.
