Cisco CLI for Beginners | Network Fundamentals Part 10

Cisco CLI for Beginners | Network Fundamentals Part 10
You’ve been following on for a while, and now it’s time to get your keys dirty by starting Cisco router or switch configuration!

Routers and switches come in different sizes and shapes depending on how they’re used. You might have a devices suited to SOHO, enterprise, or service provider spaces. The thing that’s usually common to all these, is that you can configure them using the CLI (Command Line Interface)

In this video we’ll start by looking at a router physically. You’ll see the console ports (both USB and serial), the data ports, the AUX port, module slots, and single/dual power supplies.

Next, we’ll see how to use a terminal emulator called Putty to connect to the router using a USB Serial Adapter. From here you’ll see user exec mode, global exec mode (AKA privileged exec mode) and configuration mode.

While we’re here, we’ll configure an interface with an IP address, and configure remote access to the router (using SSH).

Finally, we’ll talk about lab options, including physical equipment, GNS3, packet tracer, VIRL and EVEng.

In the next video, we’re starting to get deeper, by starting switching!

I have to say Thank you too for your great job here! I got my CompTIA Network+ watching some of your videos and now I am back for the Cisco CCT Routing and Switching. Thank you very much man!!🤝

I didn't finish college but I've been learning bits and pieces over the years and the past few weeks I have been obsessively studying every aspect of computers in no particular order, just filling in gaps and building a toolkit to start a career in It or software development. This is great information, well presented and concise. Thank you!

[chemicle]

Such a great tutorial. I've been looking forward to learning the CLI on Cisco routers / switches. Bravo. Nicely done.

[squelchedotter]

I love where this series is heading! Exactly what I was looking for when I found this channel. I'm mostly familiar with networks from the server's side and this series has been great at helping me understand networks from a true networking perspective!

Thank you. This video and the rest of your series are well made, informative and so much easier to digest than the clickbaity, IT / coffee adverts that exist on here.

[youwut]

Another great video in the series. started the series because I want to set up my own Pfsense router. So I set out to get a better grasp of how networking works and found your videos and couldn’t thank you enough. Maybe I’ll look into getting into networking after this series!

[nelroses]

Thanks for the informative video. I learn it for an hour.

[amosdaka]

I have enjoyed the Lesson. Post more videos. I would like to study Cisco.

[jiatuli]

things are getting practical and harder, but previous knowledges are well fundamentals. gratitude to you from China!

[el_salvajemoreno]

Im sooo glad that I found this channel! Your content quality is A1!!! Thank you, I'm learning a ton!

[MBoosted]

I would love to see do this type of class on setting up and managing a PFSense router/firewall. Overall this series is really helping me understand networking, thank you.

[leesalee]

You and your videos are top-notch. They're both comforting to watch and very informative. 😊

[abhishekdanej]

Excellent video, and thanks a lot to start with absolute basic of how a router looks like, and is physical aspects like the different ports.

[lindseyjohn]

Pretty good info for someone just starting out. Good stuff.

[NetworkDirection]

I've been told that Packet Tracer is free, and so is the NetAcad account!
Also been told that there is now a free edition of VIRL! I'm not sure what the limitations are at this time.
