Connect to your Cisco device (router or switch) over the network so you can manage it without having to be tethered by the baby blue console cable. A few simple commands are needed to enable this feature.

When installing a network, it will make it so much easier to concentrate if you can sit at a desk in an office instead of in the noisy computer room because you have to use the 2 meter console cable.

Network installation pro aim to setup a TCP/IP connection to all their routers, switches, and access points as soon a possible because it is way more efficient that standing next to the device every time you want to make a config change.

First you will need to establish a Console connection to the Cisco device first (we'll be running a few commands from there). If you're still not that far, see this video:

Once we're connected via the Console cable, we'll be issuing a few commands:

Setting the VLAN1 ip address
1. Enable
2. config t
3. int vlan1
4. ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. 255.255.xxx.xxx
(the X's represent information specific to your network)
5. end

Enable network access
6. config t
7. line vty 0 4
8. login
9. password ********
10. end
11. write mem

You should now be able to telnet (using putty.exe) to access the router or switch device via the network.
