How to Erase a Switch

Switch# write erase
Switch# delete flash:vlan.dat
Switch# reload
erase startup-config

Basic Port Configuration

show running-config interface fastEthernet 0/8 < check the status of the

interface fastethernet 0/8
switchport access vlan 2
switchport mode access
switchport port-security maximum 30
switchport port-security aging time 1
switchport port-security
no shutdown
duplex full
macro description fzj-accessport
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast edge

Basic Switch Configuration

(vlan 10 Management & vlan 2 IEK–9 Institutes)

switch1(config)#spanning–tree mode rapid–pvst
switch1(config)#vlan 10
switch1(config–vlan)#name management
switch1(config–vlan)#exit
switch1(config)#vlan 2
switch1(config–vlan)#name IEK–9
switch1(config–vlan)#exit
switch1(config)#exit
switch1#wr

To confirm the vlans have been created use the following command

switch1#show vlan
