I am just starting out with Cisco and I was lucky enough to get my employer to let me borrow two 2950 switches and a 2820 switch. I have no idea what I need to do to get these things up and running. When I connect to the switch it goes to the switch: prompt and I enter "?" and get the following:
switch: ? ? -- Present list of available commands boot -- Load and boot an executable image cat -- Concatenate (type) file(s) copy -- Copy a file delete -- Delete file(s) dir -- List files in directories flash_init -- Initialize flash filesystem(s) format -- Format a filesystem fsck -- Check filesystem consistency help -- Present list of available commands load_helper -- Load and initialize a helper image memory -- Present memory heap utilization information mkdir -- Create dir(s) more -- Concatenate (display) file(s) rename -- Rename a file reset -- Reset the system rmdir -- Delete empty dir(s) set -- Set or display environment variables set_param -- Set system parameters in flash trap -- Cause a software breakpoint to occur type -- Concatenate (type) file(s) unset -- Unset one or more environment variables -- MORE -- version -- Display boot loader version switch:
When I enter "dir" I get the following: switch: dir
List of filesystems currently registered:
flash[0]: (read-write) xmodem[1]: (read-only) null[2]: (read-write) bs[3]: (read-only)
switch:
can anyone tell me what I need to do next (other than read as many books as possible, which I'm doing as well)
Thanks, Matt
