Hello friends....
i am Vasu Birla .. and today i am starting a new Segment that is Switch
Configration so in this part we will know that how can we assign an IP
addresses to switches... so Let’s start......
How to Give IP address to Cisco Switch
As we know that
switch does work on layer 2 means Data link layer of the OSI model than how we
actually need to assign the ip address in switches so answer is if you want to
perform any management task like if you want to access that switch remotly from
anywhere and want to configure or want to update something so for these tasks
you need a IP address so lets understatnd it with pics.
1. first of all we must have a Cisco Switch and some PCs. so suppose we have a one switch but make sure nothing should be connected first of all.
Nothing should be connected before switch connected to Power |
2. now connect the Switch to the electricity power.
3. Press and hold the mode button/power button Until all the LEDs would becocome Green.
4. Now connect the two PCs to the switch with the help of Ethernet cable which have RJ 45 connecter at both ends.
5. Now we will know about the commands for assigning IP address to switch and PC
for Pc 1 go to Network and sharing center and open TCP/IP suit and than go to properties of it and assign the IP address manually for example 192.168.1.100 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and same as give IP address to PC2 192.168.1.101.
Now Give Ip address to Switch
6. For the first time giving IP address to switch we have to connect switch to the PC with the help of Console cable.
After connection of switch with console cable you can use the Hyper Terminal Software on PC for interaction to switch.
now in the Hyper terminal Software you can find the interaction window of Switch it looks like below picture
now Go to enable mode
Switch>en
Switch#
now go to configuration mode
Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#
Switch(config)#
now commands for assigning ip address ,,, before giving ip address we do have to set the interface on which we wants IP address , lets understand with commands - here interface is Vlan be
Switch>en
Switch#
Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#
Switch(config)#in vlan 1
Switch(config)#ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
Switch(config)#no shut
now for checking that ip address run command
Switch(config)#do show ip in br
7. now Go to pc
Go to command promt
and ping the ip of swich
Ping 192.168.1.2 if it ping successfully than understand IP address for switch configured successfully.
NOTE- Only pictures are taken from the internet, except it everything is my own theory and knowledge in very simple English language.
Thanks
