Cisco certified networking associate - Day 5
I am Imran Rafai
your trainer for this entire series
Today we are gonna talk about
connecting cisco devices
Cisco certified networking associate - Day 5
and we will finish this video by looking at IOS and the different modes of IOS
so without wasting much time
lets get straight in
for those people who are starting Cisco
this must be the first time
they are actually seeing a cisco device
now
this is a 1921 cisco router
how do you know this is a router?
first thing that you can know this is a router
is by seeing a power switch
remember cisco switches do not have a power switch
another thing is the switch would have lot of ports
because it is switch so it needs to connect
so it would have either 12 ports or 24 ports
a router would have typically 2 gigabyte ports
maybe a couple of fast ethernet
Of course you see this space
, this space is for extra modules so you could insert a switching module onto to this but normally
you would have just a port
, so thats how you identified this is a router
Of course, as a CCNA you would need to know, what is a router
what are the series, router series, what are the switches series
but thats for a different discussion altogether
All the cisco devices would have these two ports
would have console port labeled with a light blue console label
then you would have an AUX port. Now both these ports are meant for what is know has the out of band configuration
now of band access to a device means that you can access the device even when the operating system is not up so literally you could see the boot process now if you compare it with your computer most of us would have had a chance to
help a cousin or a friend or a family
member with a computer issue so
he would call in or she would call in and say that their computer is not working and you would remote using you know may be team viewer
or any of these remote control tools
you would connect with computer and
try to solve something and then you install a software and the computer says it needs to restart
