Working with Spanning Tree Protocol for Cisco Networking

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enables you to create redundant loops on your Cisco network for fault tolerance, and prevents inadvertent loops that may be created on your network from bringing the network to its knees.
The following code will enable the Cisco proprietary Rapid Per VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (PVST) over the open standard of Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP). In addition to configuring STP on the switch, you will also configure port 2 on the switch for portfast, which allows the port to immediately transition to forwarding mode.

Switch1> enable
Switch1# configure terminal 
Switch1(config)#spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
Switch1(config)#interface FastEthernet 0/2
Switch1(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast
%Warning: portfast should only be enabled on ports connected to a single
 host. Connecting hubs, concentrators, switches, bridges, etc... to this
 interface when portfast is enabled, can cause temporary bridging loops.
 Use with CAUTION
%Portfast will be configured in 10 interfaces due to the range command
 but will only have effect when the interfaces are in a non-trunking mode.

How to enable SSH login access to a Cisco router

This guide walks you through how to setup SSH on a Cisco Router. SSH is by far more secure then telnet. Telnet allows your passwords to be sent in plain text that anyone can see and gain access to your network. SSH is all encrypted traffic. NOTE: This should work with any Cisco router provided the Cisco IOS on the router supports ssh. Firstly is ssh enabled? router#sh ip ssh SSH Disabled - version 2.0 %Please create RSA keys to enable SSH. Authentication timeout: 60 secs; Authentication retries: 5 In this case its not, if you got a error saying that sh ip ssh is not recognized then you would know that ssh is not supported or possibly that the command is different for your platform. How to enable SSH on a Cisco 800 series router# config term router(config)#crypto key generate rsa usage-keys label router-key The name for the keys will be: router-key Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your
