1. Basic Configuration tasks on Switch
For performing the basic switch configuration the hostname of the switch is needed to be
renamed and the DNS lookup is needed to be disabled. The EXEC mode is needed to be entered
and a password is needed to be set for increasing the security of the network device. A password
is also needed to be configured for the console connection and vty connection such that the
configuration cannot be accessed by unauthorized personnel and the configurations are secured.
1.1. Configuration of switches hostname
For Switch S1
Switch>enable
Switch#configure terminal

5
SWITCHING TECHNOLOGIES
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#hostname S1
For Switch S2
Switch>enable
Switch#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#hostname S2
For Switch S3
Switch>enable
Switch#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#hostname S3
1.2. Configuration of EXEC mode password as class
For Switch S1
S1(config)#enable secret class
For Switch S2
S2(config)#enable secret class
For Switch S3
S2(config)#enable secret class

1.3. Configuring password for console connections as cisco
For Switch S1
S1(config)#no ip domain-lookup
S1(config)#line console 0
S1(config-line)#password cisco
S1(config-line)#login
For Switch S2
S2(config)#no ip domain-lookup
S2(config)#line console 0
S2(config-line)#password cisco
S2(config-line)#login
For Switch S3
S3(config)#no ip domain-lookup
S3(config)#line console 0
S3(config-line)#password cisco
S3(config-line)#login
1.4. Configuring password for vty connections as cisco
For Switch S1
S1(config-line)#line vty 0 15

7
SWITCHING TECHNOLOGIES
S1(config-line)#password cisco
S1(config-line)#login
S1(config-line)#end
For Switch S2
S2(config-line)#line vty 0 15
S2(config-line)#password cisco
S2(config-line)#login
S2(config-line)#end
For Switch S3
S3(config-line)#line vty 0 15
S3(config-line)#password cisco
S3(config-line)#login
S3(config-line)#end
2. Configuration of Ethernet interfaces on PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4, PC5 and PC6 with
IP address and default gateway
The Ethernet interface of the PC are configured following the IP addressing plan and they
are connected with the right port such they can communicate with the VLAN and send and
receive data packets within the network.
