IFT 266 Introduction to Network Information Communication Technology (ICT) Lab 9 Switch Configuration – Telnet Connection

IFT 266 Introduction to Network Information Communication Technology (ICT) Lab 9 Switch Configuration – Telnet Connection After you complete each step, put an ‘x’ in the completed box Connect to the switch using a telnet connection. Let’s take a step back for second and consider the following…  When the router or manageable switch is first put into service, no network parameters are configured so the router or switch cannot communicate with the network (router) or no have all its functionality enabled (switch).  Networking devices usually do not have their own displays, keyboards or other input devices.  Accessing a network device for monitoring, configuration, verification, troubleshooting is made via a connection between the device (switch or router) and a computer.  To prepare for initial setup and configuration, we will connect a computer to the switch or router.  The computer will run a terminal emulation program to provide a text based session/connection with the switch or router. Via this session, the network administrator can manage the switch or router.  Some examples of terminal emulators re P (freely available ), TeraTerm, ProComm Plus, Z-Terminal on Apple MAC, Mini Com on Linux, HyperTerminal (older versions of Windows operating system i.e. XP and previous).
