Overview

Students completing this module should be able to: • Enable and disable CDP • Use the show cdp neighbors command • Determine which neighboring devices are connected to

which local interfaces • Gather network address information about neighboring

devices using CDP • Establish a Telnet connection • Verify a Telnet connection • Disconnect from a Telnet session • Suspend a Telnet session • Perform alternative connectivity tests • Troubleshoot remote terminal connections


Introduction to CDP

• Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a Layer 2 protocol that connects lower physical media and upper network layer protocols.

• CDP is used to obtain information about neighboring devices, such as:– the types of devices connected – the router interfaces they are connected to – the interfaces used to make the connections – the model numbers of the devices

• CDP is media and protocol independent, and runs on all Cisco equipment over the Subnetwork Access Protocol (SNAP).


Information obtained with CDP

• CDP Version 2 (CDPv2) is the most recent release of the protocol. Cisco IOS (Release 12.0(3)T or later) supports CDPv2.

• CDP Version 1 (CDPv1) is enabled by default with Cisco IOS (Release 10.3 to 12.0(3)T).


Implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of CDP

Remote router’s interfaceThis router’s interface

• The cdp run command is used to enable CDP globally on the router. • By default, CDP is globally enabled. • The cdp enable command is used to enable CDP on a particular

interface. • On Cisco IOS Release 10.3 or higher, CDP is enabled by default on all

supported interfaces to send and receive CDP information. • CDP could be enabled on each of the devices interfaces by using the

cdp enable command.


Disabling CDP

To disable CDP on a specific interface after it has been enabled, use the no CDP enable command in interface configuration mode.


Troubleshooting CDP


Getting Information about Remote Devices

• Establish a Telnet connection

• Verify a Telnet connection

• Disconnect from a Telnet session

• Suspend a Telnet session

• Perform alternative connectivity tests

• Troubleshoot remote terminal connections


Telnet

• Telnet is a virtual terminal protocol that is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite.

• It allows connections to be made to remote hosts.


Establishing and verifying a Telnet connection

• To initiate a Telnet session any of the following alternatives can be used:

Denver>connect paris Denver>paris Denver>131.108.100.152 Denver>telnet paris• A hostname table or access to DNS for Telnet must be present for a

name to work. • Otherwise, the IP address of the remote router must be entered.


RouterA#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

RouterA(config)#ip host RouterA 10.1.1.1

RouterA(config)#exit

RouterA#telnet routera

Trying RouterA (10.1.1.1)... Open

User Access Verification

Password:

RouterB>

• This is where the ip host commands can be helpful.

Does not have to be the router-name but it is generally a good idea.

Not case sensitive.

Establishing and verifying a Telnet connection


• You must have the vty password set on the remote routers.

• We will always use cisco as our vty passwords!

RouterA>telnet 10.1.1.1

Trying 10.1.1.1 ... Open

Password required, but none set

[Connection to 10.1.1.1 closed by foreign host]

RouterA>




Password:cisco

RouterB>

RouterB>exit


RouterA>

RouterB(config)#line vty 0 4

RouterB(config-line)#login

RouterB(config-line)#password cisco

Configure vty password on RouterB

Telnet works! Enter vty password

Exit closes (ends) telnet session

Telnet password – line vty





Password:cisco

RouterB>ena

% No password set

RouterB>exit




Password:cisco

RouterB>ena

Password:class

RouterB#exit


RouterA>

Cannot enter privilege mode because there is no privilege password (enable secret). Can only enter this mode from the console until the password is created.

• If there is no privilege password on the remote router, you cannot enter privilege mode!

RouterB(config)#enable secret classConfigure vty password

on RouterB

Telnet and the privilege password


Disconnecting and suspending Telnet sessions

• A session is suspended for a limited time, to resume a Telnet session that has been suspended, just press Enter.

• The command show sessions will show what Telnet sessions are taking place.


RouterA>connect

Host: 10.1.1.1



Password:cisco

RouterB>

RouterB> <control-shift-6, x>

RouterA>show sessions

Conn Host Address Byte Idle Conn Name

* 1 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.1 0 0 10.1.1.1

RouterA> <enter>

[Resuming connection 1 to 10.1.1.1 ... ]

RouterB>exit


RouterA>show sessions

% No connections open

RouterA>

• If there is no privilege password on the remote router, you cannot enter privilege mode!

Or the “telnet” command

Disconnecting and suspending Telnet sessions


Advanced Telnet operation

• If the resume command is used it requires a connection ID.

• The connection ID is shown by using the show sessions command.


Alternative connectivity tests

• As an aid to diagnosing basic network connectivity, many network protocols support an echo protocol.

• The ping target 172.16.1.5 in Figure responded successfully to all five datagrams sent.

• The exclamation points (!) indicate each successful echo. • If one or more periods (.) are received instead of

exclamations on the display, the application on the router (or source device) timed out waiting for a given packet echo from the ping target.



• More on ping (ICMP Echo) in a special presentation.



• The traceroute command is the ideal tool for finding where data is being sent in a network.

• If one of these routers is unreachable, three asterisks (*) will be returned instead of the name of the router.

• The traceroute command will continue attempting to reach the next step until the Ctrl-Shift-6 escape sequence is used.


Troubleshooting IP addressing issues

• ping uses the ICMP protocol to verify the hardware connection and the IP address of the network layer. This is a basic testing mechanism.

• telnet verifies the application layer software between source and destination. This is the most complete test mechanism available.

• traceroute allows the location of failures in the path from the source to the destination. Trace uses Time to Live values to generate messages from each router along the path.
