Assignment: Configuring a Switch Management Address

1. What shortcut keys are used to go directly from global configuration mode to privileged
EXEC mode?
Answer: ctrl-Z

2. Why must you use a console connection to initially configure the switch? Why not connect
to the switch via Telnet or SSH?
Answer: When we buy a new switch, it is coming with this configuration: No IP
address, No host name, No default gateway (router) , No subnet mask, No console
password, No Telnet password, No start-up configuration, so you use the console
connection to management ports and IP addresses, password, remote control, in
addition to that the Ethernet management ports are used for out-of-band network
management tasks. you should set passwords for console and VTY access to
secure access through the console port and to enable and secure remote access
through Telnet or SSH. The problem with Telnet is it transmits the data in plain text.
In contrast, SSH is the secure protocol replacement to Telnet and is used to encrypt
the communication between your administration system and the Cisco device you
are remotely connecting to. SSH can be used to encrypt all communication, including
authentication traffic. Connecting with SSH or telnet is impossible without an ip
address therefore you must first connect with a console
