6. CISCO IOS Image: Types of Images Two main types of image your router may use: 1. System image - complete Cisco IOS software. This image is loaded when your router boots and is used most of the time. – On most platforms, the image is located in Flash memory. 2. Boot image - A subset of the Cisco IOS software. This image is used to perform network booting or to load Cisco IOS images onto the router. This image is also used if the router cannot find a valid system image. Depending on your platform, this image may be called xboot image, rxboot image, bootstrap image, or boot loader/helper image. On some platforms, the boot image is contained in ROM. In others, the boot image can be stored in Flash memory. On these platforms, you can specify which image should be used as the boot image using the boot bootldr global configuration command. Refer to your hardware documentation for information about the boot image used on your router.

7. Image Naming Convention You can identify the platform, features and image location by the image name. Naming convention is: platform – features – type Example: c2600-js-l_121-3.bin c2600 - hardware platform js - features set (enterprise) l - file format (relocatable, not compressed) 121-3 - version & release # (version 12.1 release 3)

8. Image Naming Convention - continued Platform – variable platform that can use image –For example c1700, c2600, c7000 Features –feature sets supported by image. Type – can contain following characters f—The image runs from Flash memory. m—The image runs from RAM. r—The image runs from ROM. l—The image is relocatable. z—The image is zip compressed. x—The image is mzip compressed.

9. Initial ISR Router Configuration Tools and equipment required for setup:

10. Initial ISR Router Configuration Three-stage bootup process: Power-on self test (POST) Locate and load Cisco IOS Locate startup configuration file or enter setup mode

11. Bootup Process - contd POST (Power On Self Test) – test hardware After POST, the bootstrap program is loaded Bootstrap locates IOS and loads it into RAM – IOS can be located – flash memory, TFTP server, or another location – By default, IOS loads from flash After IOS is loaded, bootstrap locates startup configuration file in NVRAM (non-volatile random access memory) Startup configuration – when loaded into RAM (working memory), it become the “running” configuration.

12. Loading Cisco IOS Get default IOS from FLASH Flash empty Get IOS from TFTP Server TFTP Server empty Get limited Cisco IOS from ROM

13. Show version command output Router>show version IOS version Bootstrap program stored in ROM Complete filename of IOS Type of CPU; amount of RAM Number & type of interfaces Amount of NVRAM (used to store startup config) Amount of Flash (used to store IOS Configuration register in hex

14. Configuration register Default setting – 0x2102 (remember this?) – Loads IOS from flash – Loads startup-config from NVRAM Most common settings 0x2142 –ignores contents of NVRAM/configuration 0x2120 – The router into ROMmon mode http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps13 3/products_tech_note09186a008022493f.shtmlhttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps13 3/products_tech_note09186a008022493f.shtml –**Go to Configuration Register Values & Their Meaning.

36. Connecting the CPE to the ISP Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) – network devices installed at customer location. Configuration checklists ensure that all configuration requirements are met

37. Connecting the CPE to the ISP Use inventory and configuration checklists and an installation plan to ensure successful installation

38. Connecting the CPE to the ISP Documentation includes diagrams, checklists, and activity logs

39. Connecting the CPE to the ISP Types of customer connections over a WAN: Point-to-point: often called leased lines; typically most expensive; price based on bandwidth & distance between 2 points Circuit-switched – similar to a phone call made over a phone network; example is ISDN or dialup connection; physical circuit reserved from source to destination Packet-switched – each customer has a virtual circuit; example is Frame Relay

40. Customer Connections over WAN Bandwidth and cost influence WAN choices

41. Connecting the CPE to the ISP Clock rate and serial encapsulation are needed when configuring serial WAN connections – Clock rate is set by DCE – DTE accepts clock rate Leased WAN connections use serial connection & require Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU DCE DTE

42. Initial Cisco 2960 Switch Configuration Fixed-configuration, standalone devices – does not use modules or flash card slots. Physical configuration can’t be changed. Layer 2 device that directs stream of message coming in from one port, our of another based on destination MAC address. Configured using GUI or CLI

43. Cisco 2960 switch Comes preconfigured Needs to be assigned basic security info Basic commands (ex: hostname, passwords) sames as ISR switch. Configure management IP address One virtual local area network, VLAN 1 is preconfigured to provide access to management functions.

44. Initial Cisco 2960 Switch Configuration Switch settings can be configured using the Cisco IOS CLI Assign an IP address to the default management virtual local area network, VLAN1

45. Initial Cisco 2960 Switch Configuration Check switch components Connect cables to the switch Power up the switch and observe POST

46. Initial Cisco 2960 Switch Configuration Connect the stand-alone LAN switch to the router and verify connectivity Configure port security to prevent unauthorized use Shut down unused ports

47. Switch port security Port security limits the # of MAC addresses allowed per port. Set port to access mode using switchport mode access command 3 ways to configure port security: Static – MAC addresses are manually assigned using switchport port-security mac-address [mac-address] interface config command. – S1# configure terminal –S1(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/20 – S1(config-if)#switchport mode access – S1(config-if)#switchport port-security mac-address 1000.2000.3000 – S1(config-if)#end –

48. Switch port - contd Dynamic MAC addresses are dynamically learned & stored in address table # of addresses stored can be controlled; default is one address. If port is shut down or switch is restarted, address learned are cleared from the table S1# configure terminal –S1(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/20 – S1(config-if)#switchport mode access – S1(config-if)#switchport port-security – S1(config-if)#end

49. Switch port - contd Sticky – similar to dynamic Addresses learned are saved to the running-config – S1# configure terminal – S1(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/20 – S1(config-if)#switchport mode access – S1(config-if)#switchport port-security – S1(config-if)#switchport port-security maximum 50 – S1(config-if)#switchport port-security mac-address sticky – S1(config-if)#end

50. Initial Cisco 2960 Switch Configuration Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) gathers information about directly-connected Cisco network devices Two Cisco devices directly connected on the same local network are called neighbors

51. Summary The Integrated Services Router (ISR) is a good choice for small to medium businesses and ISP-managed customers. ISRs can be initially configured using SDM or the router IOS CLI. When using the CLI, “show” commands verify configuration elements. An installation plan can minimize disruption to a network when new devices are being added. Documentation is necessary, both when configuring and when installing network devices. Switches are assigned IP addresses by configuring them on the management interface, VLAN 1.
