Overview

This page contains commands I used in CISCO packet tracer, and some information about them.

---

enable: This command can be used on a switch to enter admin mode in the command line interface. You can use en for short

show mac-address-table: This command can be used on a switch to show the MAC address table for the switch, showing known MAC addresses. You can use show mac a for short

ping: This can be used to ping a device, meaning it will send request packets and then receive reply packets from the device being pinged if there is a connection.

arp -a: This command can be used to show the arp cache of a device. I used this command on workstations in Lab 4.2.

configure terminal: This command is used to enter the configuration of the router.

router rip: This command is used to enter RIP configuration of the router.

version 2: This command can be used after the router rip command to specify the use of RIP version 2.

network: This command is used to specify the network for RIP to point to. The use is network x.x.x.x

show ip route: This command shows a table of networks that the router is connected to.
