Cisco Catalyst 3850 commands - 2 questions

thanks for you help.  on #1, it seems like I've seen a Cisco engineer set the screen so he could see when a port link goes up or down.  that's really all I need to monitor.  I have been issuing "sh logging" and using that to do it, but would like to see it automatically, without having to issue the command each time.  possible or no?

I will try the line vty 0 4 command.

thanks

excellent.  appreciate your help.

Bryant - I actually have another question maybe you'd know.  I'm having a problem with changing the VLAN setting on a particular port on my Catalyst switch - I wonder if I'm doing it wrong somehow.  I need to change the port to VLAN 6. Here's what I'm issuing:

> config t
>int gi1/0/34
>switchport access vlan 6

In spite of that, the printer device connected to it does not seem to get a connection.  Is that the right command?  it could also be a cable problem, which I will check.  just thought I'd verify the command I was using though.

Thanks

Could it also be a duplex problem?  It is a printer, which might not be as capable when it comes to recognizing the duplex on a port maybe?  It connects when I link it thru a 10/100 smart switch - just not thru a Cat6 port on the wall, which is going into the Catalyst 3850.

Yes, that is correct, you can also add switchport mode access, it is default but if the interface has the trunk command it will remove it.

Run show vlan and you should see the interface on the correct vlan.

if it is duplex, auto by default, the speed and duplex command can hard code it.  Sometimes devices dont auto negotiate properly.

ok - I'll try manully coding the speed and duplex then.  thanks

that worked.  thanks again!

it worked.  thank you
