Cisco SF-300:
Cisco SF-300 24 port full configuration. Today we will learn something important. cisco SF300 is a networking device. This post will be very helpful for newbies. This is called a switch in networking parlance. It has 24 ports. Today we will do the full configuration of this switch. You can configure it in 2 ways. One is in WEB mode, and another is in CLI mode via Telnet with Putty. So without further ado let's get to the configuration.
Cisco sf300 default IP
Cisco Sf-300 and Sg-300 switch default IP is 192.168.1.254. Just you need to configure your pc with another static IP address in the same subnet mask. Cisco's default username is cisco and password cisco.
How do I access SF300?
An Ethernet cable and a pc or laptop are required to access this cisco switch. One side of the Ethernet port should be plugged into any port on the cisco switch and the other side should be plugged into your PC. Then by setting an IP address on the PC, you can first log into the Switch's default IP in Web mode. You can configure it in web mode if you want, And if you want to configure it in CLI mode then Telnet must be enabled. Below is how to enable Telnet service.
Telnet Permission:
To give telnet permission, switch to Web mode. Then the security tool should be opened. Then click on TCP/UDP Service. Then Telnet Service should be turned on and click Apply. If you turn it on, telnet will be turned on. If you don't understand then see the picture below.
Configuration:
This switch is very sensitive. A router is required to configure this, after configuration the switch can be accessed from that router network. So we'll take a Mikrotik router for switch MGT (Remote management) From there a VLAN is assigned to access the switch. I took Vlan 183 for remote management. The step-by-step configuration is given below.
log in to the switch through Telnet:
switch3f8198#configure terminal
switch3f8198 (config)# hostname Cisco-SW
VLAN Creation:
Here we will create a Vlan 183 for remote access.
Cisco-SW (config)# vlan 183
Vlan Assign to Uplink port:
The port that is connected to the switch from the Mikrotik router, it should be trunk or tag, and the Vlan assigned to that port. Vlan will be up as soon as Vlan is assigned after trunking the uplink port.
Cisco-SW (config)#interface GigabitEthernet 3
Cisco-SW (config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Cisco-SW (config-if)#switchport trunk allowed VLAN to add 183
Cisco-SW (config-if)#exit
IP Assign For MGT VLAN:
Cisco-SW (config)#interface VLAN 183
Cisco-SW (config-if)#ip address 10.101.101.2 255.255.255.252
At this end of the command then it will ask for confirmation at the end. Just you need to press Y. Then the switch will be disconnected from your PC. Then you will come to the MikroTik router. Open Telnet and enter the IP address of the switch and click enter. If your configuration is correct then the switch will be up. Then the default route should be given to the switch. Follow the below command to set the default route.
Cisco-SW (config)#ip default-gateway 10.101.101.1
Cisco-SW (config)#exit
Saving Configuration:
Don't forget to save after all configurations. Many times forget to save at the end of the configuration. It is a very important matter. If the device reboots without saving, the configuration is deleted. Follow the below command to save the running configuration.
Cisco-SW#copy running-config startup-config.
