Configuring CISCO Switch at work | CISCO commands, real world best practice

#cisco #ciscoswitch #itprofessional #itsupport #computernetworking

[@EastCharmer]

Hello if you're watching this and you're about to comment why I copied the config through USB and why I didn't enter commands on CLI, the point and goal of this video is to show how we configure switches in real world, corporate setting. I am showing the realistic way on how we get it done at work so if you're expecting to see actual commands being typed/copied on CLI, then this is not the video for that. I didn't want people to think that we do CLI for every switch we deploy coz that's not realistic. I hope this is all clear now. Thank you!

[@tonny_n]

You explained it well from beginning..Again keep great content like this coming..

[@EastCharmer]

@@tonny_n Thanks! There's just people still commenting why I copied a config file. Will keep posting more videos like this!

[@Dingocreek]

CLI is handy for complex network manipulation. Your method to get the swith up and reachable via IP for additional configs is acceptable. If a network is setup from scratch it would make sense to setup all devices according to architectural design information, before shipping for deployment.

[@evolfury]

Nope totally get why. Work smart, not hard! 👍😁

[@EastCharmer]

@@evolfury exactly!!

[@jorgemv1]

Yeah, well... this is what we actually do in a real world scenario. Network Infrastructure Engineer here with 25 years experience (I'm 52) so yes, this is how things are done in the corporate world. Forget about wasting time on CLI, that's good for learning but extremely ineficcient for deployment, time consuming and prone to errors. The mere fact that some male younglings are harrassing the lady only shows massive amounts of insecurity, immaturity and obviously a great deal of jealousy because they're most probably ranting from home while she's employed and doing the job. Anyway, nice and refreshing video, far away from the home-lab-cli boring stuff.

[@EastCharmer]

Hello sir! thank you so much for stopping by and wow you've been an Engineer for a long time too! That's amazing! There's finally someone who gets it. I made videos like these to show more of the real world experience and this is how we're actually doing it. You absolutely nailed it. We do this for efficiency and accuracy as well especially deploying a lot of machines. Also I work in IT and don't specialize in Networking so I'm always doing so many things too. I still read the config file and learn from it. Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback. I also noticed that if a guy posts a video like this, they don't get comments like I do. It's sad that this industry is still tough on women. Thank you and hopefully I can post more videos like these as I really enjoy making content. More power to you as well Sir!

[@pluscode1985]

Agree, I'm younger than you (38), but 22 years experience, and usually I always never use a CLI mode, mainly because I use Dell switches and first thing I do is enable web mode (if available). I had a issue with one, he didn't recognize the SFP, so after a long waste of time the support send me an update. I don't understand why people choose to suffer.

[@EastCharmer]

@@pluscode1985 Nice Sir! I haven't worked with HP switches yet but that's good to know. I guess they're probably not working in the field and don't know how it really is

[@jasonx165]

I’m a young male networking student and I have to fully agree it’s honestly so sad to see how females are treated in this field and this video comment section by some are proof. I’m not gonna lump them all together but it’s def. A large problem and it’s VERY annoying. Notice how these tutorial type networking videos are largely male. This is why. We need to be accepting and respectful to ALL people in this field. Anyways, I full agree. And funnily enough, throughout most of my classes, with professors as old (no offense lolll) and with as much experience as you I’ve always been taught to learn CLI as core backup knowledge incase something goes wrong and I need to know how to work it. But never as the only or implied or superior way because of the exact reasons you stated lol. In fact one of the professors even showed us first hand how it is and setup a real world deployment scenario that was on a time crunch. And even though we were still learning students, the amount of students that either made errors or didn’t even come close to finishing in time was almost 100% lol. These comments downing her are nothing more than insecure males who most likely have no real experience past being able to take their sweet time with CLI for a home network setup, all so they can pat their egos on the back and make comments like this on KZbin. Sad tbh lol.

[@EastCharmer]

@@jasonx165 oh nice!! goodluck on your networking studies! Yeah I bet that if a guy posts a video like this, they won't make comments like they did with mine. This is also why there are very few females in the industry even if we are there's a lot interested in this field. I agree, age, gender, race etc has nothing to do with skills so we should be accepting, respectful and open to ALL people. Oh that's funny! We know the commands and also test them carefully before we put them in config files. Some people just think that we're just importing a file but of course we know how it works. We just do it this way to be efficient and accurate as possible. Thank you for the kind words. Yeah we can't please everybody but being unreasonable and illogical with comments is also different. And you're right, they probably haven't even worked in the field

[@notboredyet]

Respect for sharing this as someone who is getting into network engineering in 2024. It's good to give people an inside look to what is possible after learning all the study material and passing the CCNA.

[@EastCharmer]

Thank you so much!! Goodluck on pursuing the Networking path! I really think it's good to share the experience on how the real world practice is like

[@wwing]

been doing networking (switches configuration/etc...) since 1998... when you said, "Hopefully I can do this..." I was cheering at the video saying, yes you can. Great job.

[@EastCharmer]

Oh wow that's a long time sir!! How did networking change since then? Thank you!!! I am now comfortable configuring switches at work and I realize that I find racking it more difficult and also moving from the old one to the new one

[@wwing]

Technology has changed, but concepts remain the same. Started out with 10Base2 thin / bnc connectors.. etc... As long as folks learn the basics, the process generally stays the same. I have a lot of experience as a child/teen with a TRS-80 Model 1 / color computer, etc... got into IBMs, etc... @@EastCharmer

Thank you! Yeah I am trying to show how we do it in practice that's why I show how we realistically just copy the config files from USB. I am showing real world scenario here in this video. I didn't want people to think that we enter the commands manually everytime we configure a switch coz that's not best practice. But yeah I will make a separate video about the complete config.

I'm only stating this because no one ever explains why we don't just push the firmware upgrade to the switch using TFTP: The mini USB console cable has a transmit speed of 12mbps. It takes FOREVER to upload it. Plus, most enterprise PCs have TFTP disabled by default and if you don't have admin priv you won't be able to enable it to get by your local firewall. You just taught me something new! I never thought about keeping a config template file on the flash drive. I just always copy and paste the config in the CLI. You should make a video on the costs of Cisco switches and their components. It's always shocking to see how much these things can cost. I had to purchase a few c9300 UXMs and a couple of c9318's a few months back and my mouth dropped at the inital costs. LOL

On another note, tftp has issues with larger files and you will randomly hit issues with corrupt downloads ... Honestly the easiest way is have a file server setup securely the switches can hit in a lab network, toss an ip on the management interface and you can push configs down that way. We have an automated version of this where the user tosses in the switch profile into the tool at work, ties it to a chassis sn and it can configure it automatically via a terminal server.

Oh yeah. I think the flash drive is just the easiest and simplest during the initialization when building from scratch coz atleast you don't have to setup your network for the tftp etc. It will just load the files and it's done. Oh yeah that would be a good video idea too. Yeah the 9300s series are so pricey and they have more features too so they're really for big enterprises lol

"Cisco" and "price-friendly" are not 2 words that can exist in the same sentence, unfortunately.

[@network-nub6687]

i agree but it depends on completely diff scenario... here sensitive companies like banks and data centers do not allow any short of TFTP, hence a good old usb method would be the way to upgrade a firmware. so diff scenario, diff methods
