Configure two switches from one terminal?

62 Views Asked by At

Hi this is a noob question I know, but I've forgotten how to configure two switches from one pc terminal. I'm guessing it has to do with vty. maybe assign one as vty 1 and the other as vty 0, but I'm not sure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You have two options:

  1. Enable VTY connections and remotely connect to the switches. I have added a quick example on how to enable VTY connections.
SW1#conf t
SW1(config)#line vty 0 15
SW1(config-line)#logging synchronous 
SW1(config-line)#exec-timeout 30 0
SW1(config-line)#password (fill in)
SW1(config-line)#login
SW1(config-line)#end
  1. If they're brand new, you should connect using a console cable.
