How to capture text, backup configuration WITH PUTTY

It is so easy to capture your configuration file with putty.

Here is what you need to do:

1- launch putty and connect to your cisco router

2- Enter the user exec mode (router> enable)

3- Issue the terminal length 0 command (router# terminal length 0) in order to force the router to return the entire response at once, rather than one screen at a time.
This allows you to capture the configuration without extraneous −−more−− prompts generated when the router responds one screen at a time.

4- Right-click on the menubar (of the putty screen) and select "change Settings"

5- Click logging under Session, select "Log all session output"

6- choose the location and name of the file (I like to place my conf on my desktop)

7- clic apply

8- issue the show run command (router# show run)

loggout and see the output on your desktop (or the location you chose).


I will post the video very soon.

switchport port-security sticky

So, for example, to allow two MAC Addresses (1111.1111.1111 and 2222.2222.2222) at FastEthernet 0/6 (configured as an access-port), and, if any violation to that rule occurs, the port should be placed in ERRDISABLE state, recovering itself after 1hour without any intervation. The MAC Address MUST appear in the running-configuration.

How can we solve that!? Not that difficult, right!? Here´s the answer:

conf t
!
errdisable recovery cause psecure-violation
errdisable recovery interval 3600
!
interface fastethernet 0/6
switchport mode access
switchport port-security violation shutdown
switchport port-security maximum 2
switchport port-security mac-address sticky 1111.1111.1111
switchport port-security mac-address sticky 2222.2222.2222
exit
