Lab 6 Goal
● Configure the same password for all switch access: console, vty, enable
Lab Requirements
● Switch configured with Lab 2 configuration
● PC configured with
IP address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
● Cisco rollover (console) cable
● Ethernet cable
Yes, hedgelings, it's time to clean up the configuration. It is easier use a single password for all access: console, vty, and enable secret. It is important to remember, however, that these are distinct and different passwords, even if you use the same value like we are going to do. This change is just to make access easier.
Connect PC1 to labsw1 using an Ethernet cable and/or the console cable. An Ethernet connection is preferred for all configured devices. Access labsw1 using the telnet command from PC1.
