cisco base commands

[ilyas001]

hi guys well i'm learning cisco commands bases . well i understand how to go between mode but i'm afraid that's all what i understand . i saw many videos that don't really explain what the hell are they doing.  for exemple when i set a password for fast ethernet i need to write the password , then write login command , but why i don't need this when i write the password for the privilege mode why can't i tape the passwords directly in the privilege mode for the privilage mode it self , anyway guys i think that you understand that i don't really understand why the hell he is doing . any good video or document with better explanations and also why do i keep the same hostname even when i reload my router i'm really lost .

That is the longest run-on sentence I have ever read.

 

I'm not quite sure what your are specifically asking because you brought up so many things with no punctuation. If you want to change interfaces and stuff you need to be in exec mode by doing "enable" and then "config t". If you want to password a line, you need to enter the line and then enter, for example, to password the console line:

 

enable

config t

line con 0

password abc123

login

exit

The longest grammatically correct sentence is contained in Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner. The sentence is composed of 1,292 words (In the 1951 Random House version).

well i added some punctuation here and there hopes it's more easy to read . anyway what i want to say is that i just know the commands by hearth but don't really understand there meanings or why i'm writing it her just make it short

Best bet is to pay the $20 or so for the Udemy course CCNA by Chris Bryant - it'll teach you everything you need to know for CCNA however there are specific sections on passwords, file management and OS as well as the command structure.

there's a reason why cisco certificates are so wanted in the tech world - these devices require you to know what the hell you're doing in order to not screw up anything

Basically I just use this when configuring the 2960 or 2951.

Command list:

enable

config t

hostname (whatever)

banner motd (whatever symbol)

no ip domain-lookup

line con 0

password (whatever)

login

exit

line VTY (0 4 if Router, 0 15 if switch)

password (whatever)

login

exit

service password encryption

int (g or fa)0/port

no shutdown

des nip

exit

(now in privileged EXEC)

copy run start(usually don't use this command if another person would have to use the router/switch for another lab)

show run to see if everything is right

 

At first, I didn't know how to do these commands until I'd just practice with configuring the switch/router.
