Lab ID: 9.9K713A004.SCI1.

Scenario Lab: CDP


Objective
Use Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) to build a network map of your current network. To complete this lab,
use common show commands to determine what types of devices are contained in the network and how
they are interconnected. Connect to each device in the topology, and use the appropriate commands from
the command summary to determine the network topology congured for this lab.

Lab Tasks
In the space below, draw the network topology congured for this lab. Include the device types and the
interface type and number used to connect the devices.

Command Summary
Command Description
congure terminal enters global conguration mode from privileged EXEC mode
enable enters privileged EXEC mode
show cdp neighbors displays information about directly connected Cisco devices
show cdp neighbors detail displays directly connected neighbor devices and their device
types, interface names, and IP addresses
show interfaces [type number] displays statistics for all interfaces congured on the router
show running-cong displays the active conguration le

Lab Solutions
The show cdp neighbors and show cdp neighbors detail commands will help you determine what
Cisco devices are included in the network topology.

The show cdp neighbors command on Router1 shows that a device with the host name Router2 is
connected to it. However, the device name might not always represent the device type. For example, the
host name Router2 could have been congured as Tampa and would thus not indicate that the device is a
router.

The show cdp neighbors detail command lists the Device ID, which is the host name congured for
the device, Capabilities, which is the type of device, and Port ID, which is the outgoing port used to
connect a directly connected Cisco device. This information will help you determine what Cisco devices are
included in the network topology congured for this lab.

The following is sample output from the show cdp neighbors detail command:

Router1>enable
