PPP Authentication CHAP Command on CISCO Router/Switch

Command PPP Authentication CHAP Use This command enables CHAP authentication on the PPP link. Syntax Router(config-if)#ppp authentication chap Example In this example, we will configure R1’s S1/1 inteface to authenticate R3 using CHAP. R1(config)#int s1/1 R1(config-if)#encapsulation ppp R1(config-if)#ppp authentication chap R1(config-if)# *Mar 2 01:42:38.237: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on …

IP Split-horizon Command on CISCO Router/Switch

Command IP Split-horizon Use Split Horizon protects against routing loops by not accepting routes on the same interface that a router sends out the updates out. This normally has to be turned off in hub and spoke topologies to ensure full reachability. Syntax Router(config-if)#no ip split-horizon Example In …

IP OSPF Dead-Interval Command on CISCO Router/Switch

Command IP OSPF Dead-Interval Use Sets the OSPF dead interval for the interface. Syntax Router(config-if)#ip ospf dead-interval <seconds> Example In this example, the dead-interval is configured R1’s int fa0/0. Here’s the ospf interface information before the changes. R1(config-if)#do show ip ospf interface fa0/0 FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is …

IP MTU Command on CISCO Router/Switch

Command IP MTU Use This command changes the MTU of a link if required. It is mostly used for DSL or similar setups. Syntax Router(config-if)#ip mtu <68-1500> Example In this example, we will lower the MTU on R1’s Fa0/0 to 1492. R1(config-if)#int fa0/0 R1(config-if)#ip mtu 1492 R1(config-if)#do sh …

IP Bandwidth-Percent Command on CISCO Router/Switch

Command IP Bandwidth-Percent Use This command is used to change how much bandwidth the EIGRP routing process can use on a link. By default EIGRP can use up to 40% of the bandwidth. This is for EIGRP operational traffic, such as queries or hellos. Syntax Router(config-if)#ip bandwidth-percent eigrp …

Encapsulation Dot1Q Command on CISCO Router/Switch

Command Encapsulation Dot1Q Use Allows you to use a router interface as a trunk port to a switch. This is also known as “Router on a stick” because the switch uses the router to route between VLANs. Syntax Router(config-subif)#encapsulation dot1Q <vlan> <native> Option <native> Sets the vlan on …

Description Command on CISCO Router/Switch

Command Description Use This command is used to set a description on an interface. Syntax Router(config-if)#description <line> Example In this example, we will set a description on R1’s Fa0/0 interface R1(config)#int fa0/0 R1(config-if)#description "LAN link to R2"
