Wait.
You've already fixed an incident on day one without even knowing what a switch is.
Let's fix that.
A switch is the device that lets all the computers in an office talk to each other.
Figure 2 – A computer connected to a switch in a local network
Why the Switch Matters
A switch allows multiple devices to connect and communicate with each other.
In an office, you are usually connected to the same switch as other employees.
Figure 3 – The switch connects end devices in the network
In the next step, you will access the switch and interact with it directly.
Your first goal will be to name the switch.Open the CLI
Click Start CLI and follow the instructions to rename the switch.
Switch> enable Switch# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. Switch(config)# hostname SW1 SW1(config)# end SW1#Once the Instructions Are Complete
You can see that the hostname has changed.
