Packet Tracer $-$ Configure Initial Switch Settings

Objectives

Pait $1$: Verify the Default Switch Configuration

Configure a Basic Switch Configuration

Part $3$: Configure a MOTD Banner

Part $4$: Save Configuration Files to NVRAn's

Part $5$: Configure $52$

Background$/$Scenario

In this activity, you will perform basic switch configuration tasks. You will secure access to the command$-$line interface $($CLi$)$ and console ports using encrypted and plain text passwords. You will also learn how to configure messages for users logging into the switch. These message banners are also used to warn unauthorized users that access is prohibited.

Note: In Packet Tracer, the Catalyst $2960$ switch uses $10S$ version $12\mathrm{.}2$ by default. If required, the $108$ version can be updated from a file server in the Packet Tracer topology. The switch can then be configured to boot to $10S$ version $15\mathrm{.}0.$ If that version is required.
