> no service pad
switch off pad protocol on the router.
Packet Assembly and Disassembly (PAD) is used for sending and
receiving "raw" data over IP networks. The modem takes care of
establishing IP network connections, as well as the encapsulation
of data within UDP or TCP packets. This eliminates the need for a
TCP/IP stack running on the host device.
> service timestamps debug uptime
switch on the service of timestamping each debug log (when you type any
debug command) the router produces.
But in opposed to "datetime" you use "uptime".
> service timestamps log datetime
The same what above, but applied to regular log data.
> service password-encryption
switch on cisco algorithm to hide clear text password (enable, telnet etc)
and instead show this password as a meaningless string (ggtrg9543ygtrhth).
In opposed to hash algorithm (e.g. MD5) its eassy to decipher this string to
original password.
> service sequence-numbers
To enable visible sequence numbering of system logging messages, use the
service sequence-numbers command in global configuration mode.
Each system status messages logged in the system logging process have a
sequence reference number applied. This command makes that number visible by
displaying it with the message. The sequence number is displayed as the
first part of the system status message.
For example:
000066: .Mar 22 15:35:57 PST: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by
console
> no aaa new-model
You do not going to use AAA model (authentication, authorization and
accounting).
> clock timezone UTC 1
You set UTC time zone.
UTC is Coordinated Universal Time.
"1" after UTC means one hour shift, i.e. this is UTC+1=CET (and some others,
BST, IST, WEST)
CET is Central European Time.
> clock summer-time UTC recurring last Sun Mar 2:00 last Sun Oct 3:00
Configure the system to automatically switch to summer time (daylight saving
time).
> ip subnet-zero
You want to save and use the first subent (subnet zero).
This sybnet has the same network address what main network (the subnetted
one) but longer subnet mask
For example:
10.0.0.0/8 is main network
10.0.0.0/24 is subnet zero of this network.
With the commands "no ip subnet-zero" You are not allowed to use this
subnet.
Then You can use 10.0.1.0/24 subnet as the first usable subnet.
> no file verify auto
switch off automatic verification of cisco files.
When You copy some files to your router its safe to verify theirs control
sum.
For example:
copy /verify tftp://10.1.1.1/jdoe/c7200-js-mz disk0:
verify disk0:c7200-js-mz
reload /verify
With this feature switch on You do not need to do this, insted router do
this automatically.
> spanning-tree mode pvst
You want to run pvst (per-Vlan spannig tree) mode od spanning tree protocol.
It means that in every vlan throughout your switched network
seperate instance of STP frames will be running. Its good only for small
number of vlans. In other cases its safe to use MST (multiple spanning tree)
> spanning-tree extend system-id
Enable the extended system> addresses.Releases 12.1(13)E and later support chassis with 64 or 1024 MAC
addresses. For chassis with 64 MAC addresses, STP uses the extended system
ID plus a MAC address to make the bridge> > vlan internal allocation policy ascending
It configures the Internal Vlan allocation policy. You can choose between
"ascending" and "descending".
Enter the ascending keyword to allocate internal VLANs from 1006 and up.
Enter the descending keyword to allocate internal VLAN from 4094 and down.
1006-4094 - this is extended range of etherenet-only vlans, they are not
propagated by vtp protocol.
> control-plane
switch on control plane policing.
The Control Plane Policing feature allows users to configure a quality of
service (QoS) filter that manages the traffic flow of control plane packets
to protect the control plane of Cisco IOS routers and switches against
reconnaissance and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. In this way, the control
plane (CP) can help maintain packet forwarding and protocol states despite
an attack or heavy traffic load on the router or switch.
