Did you ever configure a Cisco device? Did you ever forget about some of the base settings? If the answer is "YES/YES" you might want to take a look at the Basic Device Configuration guide here at discorouter.com.
No matter if you are practising for an upcomming CCENT/CCNA level exam or you just want to be sure you dont miss out that damn timeout setting in the real world all the time, creating a base checklist might be the way to go. There are a lot of tools out there to create lists like the one below but I found using Evernote a nice and easy way to create templates and apply them to your actual projects.
The above list is an example of a basic switch configuration you might want to use, note that there might be different requierements, depending on the network enviroment you want to deploy your switches into, but for now we will stick to this checklist an go through it point by point.
Just follow the links below to get more information about the specific checkpoints on the list:
- Hostname
- Passwords (CON, VTY, Enable)
- Logon Banner
- console port Timeout
- Synchronous logging on the console port
- Telnet / SSH
- HTTP mamnagement disabled
- DNS name resolution
- Clock set, NTP configured
- Management VLAN / IP address
