User Mode hostname #;

Privileged mode hostname (config )#;

Global configuration mode hostname (config-if )#;

Vswitch password settings:

 
 

  
  
Switch> enable; enter privileged Mode
  
  
Switch # config terminal; enter global configuration mode
  
  
Switch (config) # hostname csico; set the vswitch Host Name

Basic vswitch Configuration

Including VLAN creation, deletion, port attribute settings, configure the trunk port, add a port to the vlan, and configure VTP:

 
 

  
  
Switch # vlan database; go to VLAN settings
  
  
Switch (vlan) # vlan 2; Create VLAN 2
  
  
Switch (vlan) # vlan 3 name vlan3; Create VLAN 3 and name it vlan3
  
  
Switch (vlan) # no vlan 2; Delete vlan 2
  
  
Switch (config) # int f0/1; enter port 1
  
  
Switch (config) # speed? View the subcommands of the speed command
  
  
Switch (config) # speed 100 sets the port speed to 100 mb/s (10/auto)
  
  
Switch (config) # duplex? View duplex sub-commands
  
  
Switch (config) # duplex full set this port to full duplex (auto/half)
  
  
Switch (config) # description TO_PC1. This port is described as TO_PC1.
  
  
Switch (config-if) # switchport access vlan 2; Add vlan 2 to the current port
  
  
Switch (config-if) # switchport mode trunk; set it to trunk mode (access mode)
  
  
Switch (config-if) # switchport trunk allowed vlan 1 and 2; set the allowed vlan
  
  
Switch (config-if) # switchport trunk encap dot1q; Set vlan Relay
  
  
Switch (config) # vtp domain vtpserver; set the same vtp domain Name
  
  
Switch (config) # vtp password; set the vtp password
  
  
Switch (config) # vtp server; Set vtp server mode
  
  
Switch (config) # vtp client; Set vtp client Mode
 
 

Basic vswitch settings

Including setting IP addresses, default gateways, domain names, domain name servers, configuring and viewing MAC address tables:

 
 

  
  
Switch (config) # interface vlan 1; enter vlan 1
  
  
Switch (config-if) # ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0; set the ip address
  
  
Switch (config) # ip default-gateway 192.168.1.6; set the default gateway
  
  
Switch (config) # ip domain-name cisco.com
  
  
Switch (config) # ip name-server 192.168.1.18
  
  
Switch (config) # mac-address-table? View mac-address-table sub-commands
  
  
Switch (config) # mac-address-table aging-time 100 set the timeout value to 100 ms
  
  
Switch (config) # mac-address-table permanent restart c01.bbcc f0/3 add permanent address on port f0/3
  
  
Switch (config) # mac-address-table restricted static multicast c02.bbcc f0/6 f0/7 add static address target port f0/6 Source Port f0/7
  
  
Switch (config) # end
  
  
Switch # show mac-address-table view the entire MAC address table
  
  
Switch # clear mac-address-table restricted static clear restricted static address
 
 

Switch display command

 
 

  
  
Switch # write; save configuration information
  
  
Switch # show vtp; view vtp configuration information
  
  
Switch # show run; view current configuration information
  
  
Switch # show vlan; view vlan configuration information
  
  
Switch # show interface; view port information
  
  
Switch # show int f0/0; view the specified port information
