How to Configure IP Addresses on a Cisco Device

In this video, Jeremy Cioara covers assigning IP addresses and enabling interfaces on Cisco routers. Unlike switches, which are essentially plug and play, routers require a bit of configuration before they can do what they were designed to. You’ll see a straightforward, four-step process to enabling interfaces that will equip you to do this yourself.

Jeremy begins by differentiating between Cisco routers and switches. Switches are completely functional the moment they come out of the box: simply hook everything up and away you go. Routers, on the other hand, are essentially blocks of plastic and metal until you enable the interfaces and start your configuration.

You’ll learn how to find and assign interfaces by using a simple, four-step process. Beginning with orientation to show the IP interface brief, Jeremy will continue to choose an interface, assign an IP address, and then “un-shut” it down. By the end of the video, you’ll know how to implement the commands needed to assign an IP address to a Cisco router and enable the interface.

so how do you get a ruckus access point connected to the switch board? Someone I saw first assigned an IP number to the switch to the 1/28 what are these?
