Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to enable CDP and adjust CDP timers.
Lab Purpose:
Understanding CDP is a fundamental skill. CDP is a proprietary Cisco protocol that can be used for device discovery as well as internetwork troubleshooting. As a Cisco engineer, as well as in the Cisco CCNA exam, you will be expected to know how to enable and use CDP in internetwork discovery and troubleshooting.
Certification Level:
This lab is suitable for CCENT and CCNA certification exam preparation.
Lab Difficulty:
This lab has a difficulty rating of 5/10.
Readiness Assessment:
When you are ready for your certification exam, you should complete this lab in no more than 10 minutes.
Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab:
Task 1:
Configure hostnames on R1 and Sw1 as illustrated in the topology.
Task 2:
Configure an IP address of 172.29.100.1/24 on R1 F0/0.
Task 3:
Configure VLAN200 on Sw1 and name it CDP_VLAN. Configure interface VLAN200 on Sw1 and assign it the IP address 172.29.100.2/24. Assign port FastEthernet0/2 on Sw1 to this VLAN.
Task 4:
Enable CDP on R1 and Sw1 globally (it’s already on by default but you can practice the command). Configure R1 and Sw1 to send CDP packets every 10 seconds. The timer command won’t work on Packet Tracer so use live equipment or GNS3.
Task 5:
Use CDP to see detailed information about Sw1 from R1. Familiarize yourself with the information provided.
Task 6:
Now disable CDP on the router interface and disable CDP globally on the switch.
Configuration and Verification
Task 1:
For reference information on configuring hostnames, please refer to earlier labs.
Task 2:

Task 5:

NOTE: The show cdp neighbors detail command provides detailed information about devices. This is a very useful troubleshooting command as you can find out the IP addresses (and more) of connected devices and access them remotely. Try this command on Sw1 and see the information you find out about on R1. Familiarize yourself with the contents of this command for both routers and switches.
Task 6:
R1#conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CTRL/Z. R1(config)#int fa0/0 R1(config-if)#no cdp enable Sw1(config)#no cdp run
NOTE: The CDP entries will still remain until they time out. You can clear the entries with the clear cdp table command, and then issue show commands to check that there are no entries. Knowing how to disable CDP is an important security task for the CCNA exam.
very very nice caesar-chan
