Configuring Basic Switch Management

A Layer 2 switch configuration places all its physical ports into VLAN 2. The IP addressing plan shows that address 172.16.2.250 (with mask 255.255.255.0) is reserved for use by this new LAN switch, and that 172.16.2.254 is already configured on the router connected to that same VLAN. The switch needs to support SSH connections into the switch from any subnet in the network. Which of the following commands is part of the required configuration in this case?

Correct! Wrong!

An engineer’s desktop PC connects to a switch at the main site. A router at the main site connects to each branch office through a serial link, with one small router and switch at each branch. Which of the following command must be configured on the branch office switches, in the listed configuration mode, to allow the engineer to telnet to the branch office switches?

Correct! Wrong!

A user opens a terminal emulator after connecting their PC physically to the console port of a router. The user logs in to the router's user mode, and then continues the process to reach privileged mode. Assume that the router is configured to use the strongest security options. Which command must be configured to support that last step of reaching privileged mode?

Correct! Wrong!

Which of the following line subcommands tells a switch to wait until a show command’s output has completed before displaying log messages on the screen?

You are in the process of troubleshooting a network problem on a Cisco device, but you are having a problem getting the right commands entered on the device to fix it. The reason is that every time you attempt to configure the commands, the console generates another message, your command gets split, and you lose your place in the command. What command could you configure on the device to have it automatically place the commands that are entered onto a fresh line and redrawn up to the point where the command entry was interrupted?
