My CCNA Routing&Switching Experience (LAB)

-
I can say that it has 2 parts. Funny part (lab) and boring part (terms).

LAB:

First find a good lab for Cisco.
  • GNS 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APpcufvoCZQ
  • Cisco Packet Tracer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haCk1oBG394
I recommend go with Cisco Packet Tracer and complete the course of Cisco Networking Academy. It explains the tool nicely. Pay attention to:
  • Items
    • Cable Types: Make sure you choose the correct one and the ports are up.
    • Computer LAN Sockets
  • Simulation
    • PDU (Simple and Complex): You can see all details as OSI layers in complex mode.
    • Show All/None Filter

Basic Setup:

Also, watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=496&v=-zvihHxrfzM (4 parts)
  • ? => shows what I can type
  • ping ? => shows what I can type starting with ping
  • To go privilege mode, type "enable"
  • Then type the followings
    • show running-config (Space=>more  &  esc = >enough)
    • "configure terminal" (You enter config mode) OR "conf t"
    • hostname R1
    • When you press ctrl+C or type "exit"; you will exit the config mode.
    • Pressing Tab, completes the command. I type "show r" and press tab. It completes it as show running-config. (I am not in the config mode.)
    • reload => rebooting.
    • To enable consoleline
      • When you run show running-config you will see line con 0 at the end of the result.
      • Go config by typing "configure terminal"
      • Then type "line console 0"
      • "password kurt" => the console password is kurt right now.
      • "login" => it enables console line to login the router.
      • "exit" (2 times) or Ctrl+C or "end" Right now, you are at enable mode. Your command line looks like R1#
      • "copy running-config startup-config" OR "copy run start" (alias) to save the configuration.
      • reload
    • To enable virtual terminal (vty 0 4): Max. 5 users can connect the router by using virtual terminal. (0,1,2,3,4 : It looks like array.) If it is not enabled. No one can connect to router by using Putty. 
      • "line vty 0 4"
      • same steps as consoleline
      • To see how to connect via vty (https://youtu.be/Fdp7MHD0RQ8?t=420 ; Pay attention to crossover cable! (The connection between router and comp.)) 
    • IP Address: In config mode; "interface fast" then Tab. You will have "interface fastEthernet" Check your router interface name. 0/0 or 0/1. Then,
      • interface fastEthernet 0/0
      • ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
      • no shutdown (This interface will be ON!)
      • copy run start (DON'T FORGET to save the configuration! You need to do it on enable mode. Your command line looks like R1# )
        HW: Try to connect your router by using cmd. (Don't forget to give comp IP address.)
    • To put another password to config mode: On config mode; "enable password kurt" and save your configuration. To remove it, type "no enable password"
    • To make password encrypt. On config mode; "enable secret kurt1" To remove; "no enable secret"
      If you have secret and password. Secret over-ride password. 
      "service password-encryption" makes all password encrypted!
    • To put message (banner message) on CLI 
      • On config mode; (looks like => R1 (config)#  ) type banner ?; you will two options go with motd option. So type "banner motd #Sen gercek user misin?# Save it. Exit router, you will see it before entering router.
YOU CAN DO ALL STEPS BY CONNECTING A COMPUTER via terminal  (cmd>telnet).
Via Putty; you can connect by using aux, console cable.

Please note that in real CCNA exam, you can't go router CLI directly. (not like cisco packet tracer)

Other Important Notes:

  • When you put ? to see what is your options, you should put ? after a space.
  • "show" command works when you're at active mode. ( Switch 1# show )
  • If you want configure anything, go to config mode ( conf t ) then go to what you need!
    For example;
    • You want to make port 0/11 is a trunk port: Go to port first (interface fa 0/11 > switchport  mode trunk )
    • You want to create vlan 11: Type vlan 
    • You want to make port 0/11 is a member of vlan 11: Go to port first (interface fa 0/11 > switchport  access vlan 11 )

General Printer Errors

-
Q: When I send a print to the copier it takes several minutes to print ! A:   The reason can be the size of the file and the resolution. (What are the size of the file and how many pages?) or driver issue (needs to update latest version) or printer firmware issue (needs to update latest version) or speed negotiation issue (set speed/duplex manually on both ends (switch and copier)). Q: The address label doesn't fit on the paper! A:   Make sure that it fits the page. You will see it when you goes the print > more settings (The scale may not 100%. ) Q: The wifi drops down! A:   I recommend you to do the followings: Check the printer firmware. (Refer the manufacturer website.) Check your machine wifi capability and you network band. (2.4GHz or 5 GHz) Check your network minimum bitrate (Mbps) Be careful! increasing or decreasing it may affect your network, if you have close AP in the building. Try usb cable no longer than 2 meters. (Some devices do...

Don't repeat any code! If you do that, there is something wrong. Don't dry (don't repeat yourself) It is a Case-Sensitive language. Keep your variable lower case letters. No space, If you need, use _ .  Ex: my_language print ('Hello World') print(f"{kind} kilos ")     # kind is a variable which defined before. name= input (' What is your name? ') str: All input are str (default). You need to convert them int or float to make calculation float int ' ' '  You can write whatever you want here ' ' ' word= "Python and Mr.G" print (word[0:4])  ==> Pyth      0 is P.  4 is o. But the last one is excluded. Examples: print (word[2])     ==> t print (word[-1])     ==> G print (word[2:5])     ==> tho print(word[1:-1])  ==> ython and Mr. Function = Methods message.upper()                   # to convert to uppercase message...
