07: Configure Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) using relevant


software
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) are
transportation protocols which are some of the core protocols of the Internet protocol
suite. Both TCP and UDP work at the transport layer of the TCP/IP model. TCP uses a
three-way handshake to establish the reliable connection, whereas UDP is unreliable
but faster when compared to TCP. The network device offers some of the services
which use either TCP or UDP for easy management of the device. The services can be
enabled or disabled based on the requirement.

The TCP and UDP services information are shown in the TCP and UDP
Service tables of the web-based utility page of the switch. The information
showed in these tables depict the current status of the enabled TCP and UDP
services. You can use this information to manage and troubleshoot any of the
enabled services on the switch.
This article provides instructions on how to configure the TCP and UDP services
on your switch.
• Procedure
Configure TCP/UDP Services on your Switch
Configure TCP/UDP Services

The TCP/UDP Services page enables TCP or UDP-based services on the device,
usually for security reasons. Follow these steps to enable or disable a specific service:

Step 1. Log in to the web-based utility of your switch


then choose Security > TCP/UDP Services.

Note: The available options may vary depending on the exact model of your device.
In this example, SG350X-48MP switch is used.

Step 2. Check the Enable HTTP to enable the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
service on your switch. By default, Cisco Small Business Switches can be configured
through the web-based utility using a web browser thus this service is checked by
default.

Step 3. Check the Enable HTTPS to enable the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure
(HTTPS) service on your switch. Connectivity between the administrator and the
switch using HTTP is unencrypted. You can enable the HTTPS service which works
with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to offer to the administrator a more secure
web browser connection with the configuration utility of the switch. This service is
enabled by default.

Step 4. Check the Enable SNMP to enable the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) service on your switch. SNMP is an application layer protocol that
is used to manage and monitor a network. For the different SNMP features to work
properly, you first need to enable the SNMP service.

Note: In this example, SNMP Service is enabled.


Step 5. Check the Enable Telnet Service check box to enable the Telnet service on
your switch. Telnet is a network protocol that allows a device to be controlled by a
command line interface over the Internet or a LAN. When Telnet is enabled, an
administrator can configure the switch through the use of a Telnet client application.
However, since Telnet messages are not encrypted, it is recommended that you use
SSH service.

Note: In this example, Telnet Service is disabled.


Step 6. Check the Enable SSH Service check box to enable the Secure Shell (SSH)
service on your switch. SSH allows the administrator to configure the switch through
a command line interface (CLI) with a third party program. In CLI mode via SSH,
the administrator can execute more advanced configurations in a secure connection.

Note: In this example, Telnet Service is


enabled. Step 7. Click Apply to save the
settings.

Step 8. (Optional) Click Save to save settings to the startup configuration file.

You should now have configured the TCP/UDP Services on your switch.
View TCP Service Table
The TCP Service table displays the next information:
• Service Name — The different access services currently
enabled for TCP connections.
• Type — The TCP type used by each service. The two types are:
- TCP — offers a reliable connection between IPv4 hosts.
- TCP6 — offers a reliable connection between both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts.
• Local IP Address — The IP address used by the switch to offer TCP connections.
• Local Port — The port number used by the switch for each TCP
service to receive connection requests.
• Remote IP Address — The IP address of the device that requests a
TCP connection through the specified TCP service.
• Remote Port — The port number used by the remote device
to connect to the specified TCP service.
• State — The current state of the connection. Some of the states are:
- Listen — The switch takes any connection for this Service on the Local Port.
- Established — Indicates an active connection.
- Time wait — Indicates a connection that has been closed, but
tracked so that out-of- order packets can still arrive to the destination.
You should now have viewed the TCP Service Table on your switch.
