In this lab, the student will connect to the switch via a Telnet session. For secure networks, the Cisco device can be configured for a Telnet session. If the network is not secure, a modem configured on the AUX port enables telephone access. For devices physically distant from the network engineer, network connectivity can be established through two means. Using Windows hyperterm utility, a serial connection can be established. A console port can be used used if the Cisco router or switch is within the same physical proximity of a computer. Access to Cisco devices devices can be accomplished through several means. If a switch does not know which port to route the frame, or the frame is a broadcast, then the frame is routed out all ports except the port where it originated. When a switch receives a frame, the destination MAC address is checked against the table, and the corresponding port is used to route the frame out of the switch. Use the Cisco IOS show mac-address-table command to examine MAC address and port associations.īackground Switches maintain a table of MAC addresses and associated switch port. Use the Telnet protocol to log into a Cisco Switch.
