Download Cisco Config File

[Shawnna Franz]

Inthis page, we will explore the configuration process for a Cisco switch. By configuring your Cisco switch, you can effectively manage its functionality, ensuring versatility, power, and optimal performance. Discover the essential CLI switch commands and the 11 configuration steps necessary to configure and manage a Cisco switch.

The provided hostname should be unique within the network in order to facilitate easier identification of the switch. It is also advisable to adhere to any naming standards in order to easily categorize the devices with names.

Configuring an administrative password for the privileged exec mode is essential to restrict access. Without this password, anyone with console credentials will have the ability to configure the switch.

In order to enable remote accessibility of the switch, it is necessary to configure the default gateway. Ensure that the provided default gateway is within the same network as the device (network router IP can be provided as gateway IP).

The duplex mode governs the data transmission between the switches and the endpoint. When set to full duplex, the switch is capable of both sending and receiving data from the endpoint simultaneously.

You can use Network Configuration Manager's Configlet feature to configure Cisco switch. You can automate the process by pushing the commands for configuring a switch to multiple devices at one go. In case, you want us to help you with configuring your switch on Network Configuration Manager's console, you can contact NCM support.

Note: Android devices running Android 12 and above do not support Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol/Internet Protocol Security (L2TP/IPsec) VPNs. Devices with existing configurations will continue to work. Client VPN connection cannot be configured on new devices.

Purpose:

When SpiceWorks backs up Cisco configuration files they cannot be sorted easily without having to read the hostname in the configuration. I have designed a script that renames Cisco switch configuration files returned from SpiceWorks during a backup. It will name the files based on the hostname (Switch Name) within the config file. Also, the last modified date will be added to the file name.

How To Use:

You can run the program and select the configuration directory where the Cisco config files are stored. Also, you can run the program via command line. This can be used if you are trying to automate the backup of configs for DR.

Please advise what configuration i would have to do on Cisco 887 which i need to connect in front of NBN - Fiber to the node - NBN connection and from the LAN port of this Cisco 887 this will go to the Cisco Meraki MX WAN port.

If you are using NBN I'm guessing you have a VDSL connection. If your provider uses PPPoE then I wont be tempted to sinmply bridge the connection through, so that the MX can have a public IP address on it.
