Using Cisco Discovery Protocol and Managing Cisco Devices vLab (40 points)
Write a paragraph (a minimum of five college-level sentences) below that summarizes what was accomplished in
this lab, what you learned by performing it, how it relates to this week’s TCOs and other course material; and just
as important, how you feel it will benefit you in your academic and professional career. (16 points)
In this lab we enabled Cisco Discovery Protocol, showed the cdp for entry and neighbor detail and disable CDP
entirely. Additionally, we verified current settings, enabled RIPv2, disable auto-summarization, debugging, and
copied TFTP configuration into the current configuration to make a “merge”. I learned new commands and what
the output would show, like the debugging. I also learned how to copy a configuration and merge it with the
running configuration. It relates to this week’s TCO in that I identified specific features and capabilities of a
network device. Also, the network utilities to verify and troubleshoot connectivity were practiced in this lab,
which is part of the TCO. I think the lab will benefit me by giving me a deeper understanding of CDP from other
labs. Professionally, it helps me build confidence in configuring and I have a better understanding of what CDP can
do.
Copy and paste the following screenshots from the Using Cisco Discovery Protocol and Managing Cisco Devices
vLab below.
Task 1, Step 3: On R1, verify that Cisco Discovery Protocol is enabled and that CDP packets are being sent
every 60 seconds using a show command. Take a screenshot of the output. (2 points)
Question: Other than the rate at which CDP packets are being sent, what other information is available about
directly connected devices? Other information available is that it displays global CDP settings. It also would
show the hold time of packets (180 sec) before they are dropped and that CDP v2 is enabled.
Hint: Read and study the explanations within the lab for assistance. (4 points)
Task 1, Step 7: Enter a show command on R1 that will list the IP addresses for all directly attached Cisco
devices. Take a screenshot of the output. (2 points)

Question: What is the difference between using the “show cdp entry {device}” and the “show cdp neighbor
detail” commands? The “show CDP entry” will only show you information for just that one device. The “show
CDP neighbor detail” shows the information for all of devices and not just one.
Hint: Read and study the explanations within the lab for assistance. (4 points)
Task 1, Step 16: On R1, exit out of the router and then return to privileged mode. Take a screenshot of the
output. (2 points)

Question: What is the address of the TFTP server, and what was it used for in this experiment?
Hint: Read and study the explanations within the lab for assistance. (4 points)
The address of the tftp server is 100.100.100.100. It was used to emphasize the concept of a merge. The
change from the TFTP file was only the banner. By merging it, now we can see the banner because it now
exists with the current configuration.
Task 1, Step 24: From R1, ping: 100.100.100.100. Take a screenshot of the output. (2 points)
Question: What command was used to allow you to view the actual transmission and reception of RIP routing
updates? The “Ping” command let’s us see the actual transmission and reception.
Hint: Read and study the explanations within the lab for assistance. (4 points)
