Learn to reverse engineer a class c subnet by analyzing a slash mask and borrowed bits. See how to determine networks, hosts and broadcast using practical examples.
Explains class B subnetting by borrowing bits from the third octet to create slash 21 and slash 23 networks, calculating network IDs, hosts per subnet, and broadcast addresses.
Explore subnetting a class B network by borrowing bits to create 1024 subnets with 62 hosts each, and verify network IDs and broadcasts using Packet Tracer.
Mo demonstrates reverse engineering a class B subnet using slash notations, calculating network ID, first and last host, and broadcast with correct masks, then applies practice to VLAN-oriented topology.
Demonstrate how lack of port security allows devices to auto-assign ip addresses via dhcp, connect to servers, and access resources, highlighting why mac-based port security is essential.
Configure port security on access ports with sticky or manual MAC addresses, and set a maximum with aging. Monitor violations and recover a violated port using shutdown and no shutdown.
Learn to enforce port security across multiple switch ports by enabling switchport mode access, applying sticky mac addresses with interface range commands, and verifying with show port security.
Configure switch port security on interface f0/3 with sticky MAC addresses, set maximum MAC addresses to two, and observe violation shut down behavior using show port security.
Learn how port security handles violations on switches, comparing default shut down with protect and restrict modes, using sticky Mac addresses, and noting that restrict reports while protect does not.
Learn how port security makes mac address table entries static on switches, and why switches filter by mac addresses while routers filter by IP within VLAN contexts.
Establish a switch console connection with a rollover cable and putty, configure line console 0 and enable secret, encrypt passwords, and prepare for remote access via telnet or ssh.
Configure telnet access to a switch by setting up VLAN 1 IP, enabling VTY lines 0–2 with a login password, and noting the security risks of telnet; SSH comes next.
Configure usernames and local login on switch console and vty, create admin one and admin two with level 15, and enable login local.
Configure the vty lines to allow only ssh access, enable ssh version 2, set usernames and secrets, and restrict transport input to ssh for secure remote switch login.
Configure a banner on a Cisco switch via global configuration, using the banner MOTD command with a delimiter to display a warning message for authorized users.
Learn how switches use VLANs to create multiple broadcast domains, limit collision domains, and improve security by separating laptops, servers, printers, and phones across different subnets.
Explore how to create and assign vlans (10, 20, 30), configure access ports, separate broadcast domains on switches, and plan static ip networks to illustrate vlan isolation.
Explore vlan across switches by configuring two switches with vlan 10 and vlan 20, assigning ports, and enabling trunking (802.1q) to allow inter-switch communication while vlan 1 default remains local.
Develop and test vlan 30 across switches by creating vlan 30, assigning ports 6–7 to it, and using trunks to permit all vlans except 20.
Configure switches with vlans and trunking. Assign access ports to vlan ten and vlan twenty, define the native vlan, and prepare for inter vlan routing.
Learn inter vlan routing with a router on a stick to connect vlan ten, vlan twenty, and vlan thirty. Implement trunking and subinterfaces with a default gateway.
Set up a router as a dhcp server for multiple vlans (router on a stick), creating dhcp pools for vlan ten, twenty, and thirty, with excluded addresses.
Configure inter-VLAN routing with a router-on-a-stick across VLANs 10, 20, and 30 by setting up switches, trunks, and DHCP addressing, then verify with ping and traceroute.
