    The document describes using CDP and SSH to map and document the devices on a remote branch office network. Key steps include using SSH to access the Edge1 router and then the Branch-Edge router. From the Branch-Edge router, CDP is used to discover neighboring devices and their interfaces. Additional SSH sessions allow discovery of more interconnected devices until a switch is found that does not have an IP address configured.

    Packet Tracer - Use CDP to Map a Network

    Background / Scenario
    A senior network administrator requires you to map the Remote Branch Office network and discover the name
    of a recently installed switch that still needs an IP address to be configured. Your task is to create a map of
    the branch office network. You must record all of the network device names, IP addresses and subnet masks,
    and physical interfaces interconnecting the network devices, as well as the name of the switch that does not
    have an IP address.
    To map the network, you will use SSH for remote access and the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) to discover
    information about neighboring network devices. Because CDP is a Layer 2 protocol, it can be used to
    discover information about devices that do not have IP addresses. You will record the gathered information to
    complete the Addressing Table and provide a topology diagram of the Remote Branch Office network.
    The local and remote administrative usernames and passwords are:
    Local Network
    Username: admin01
    Password: S3cre7P@55
    Branch Office Network
    Username: branchadmin
    Password: S3cre7P@55

    Instructions

    Part 1: Use SSH to Remotely Access Network Devices


    In Part 1, use the Admin-PC to remotely access the Edge1 gateway router. Next, from the Edge1 router you
    will SSH into the Remote Branch Office.
    a. On the Admin-PC, open a command prompt.
    b. SSH into the gateway router at 192.168.1.1 using the username admin01 and the password
    S3cre7P@55.
    PC> ssh –l admin01 192.168.1.1
    Open
    Password:

    Edge1#

    Packet Tracer - Use CDP to Map a Network

    Note: Notice that you are placed directly into privileged EXEC mode. This is because the admin01 user
    account is set to privilege level 15.
    c. Use the show ip interface brief and show interfaces commands to document the Edge1 router’s
    physical interfaces, IP addresses, and subnet masks in the Addressing Table.

    d. From Edge1, use SSH to access the Remote Branch Office at 209.165.200.10 with the username
    branchadmin and the same password as above:
    Edge1# ssh –l branchadmin 209.165.200.10
    Open
    Password:

    Branch-Edge#
    Question:

    After connecting to the Remote Branch Office what piece of previously missing information can now be
    added to the Addressing Table above?

    Part 2: Use CDP to Discover Neighboring Devices


    You are now remotely connected to the Branch-Edge router. Using CDP, begin looking for connected network
    devices.
    a. Issue the show ip interface brief and show interfaces commands to document the Branch-Edge
    router’s network interfaces, IP addresses, and subnet masks. Add the missing information to the
    Addressing Table to map the network:

    © 2016 - 2022 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public Page 3 of 6 www.netacad.com
    Packet Tracer - Use CDP to Map a Network

    Branch-Edge# show ip interface brief


    Branch-Edge# show interfaces

    b. Security best practice recommends only running CDP when needed, so CDP may need to be turned on.
    Use the show cdp command to display its status.
    Branch-Edge# show cdp
    % CDP is not enabled

    c. You need to turn on CDP, but it is a good idea to only broadcast CDP information to internal network
    devices and not to external networks. To do this, turn on the CDP protocol and then disable CDP on the
    S0/0/1 interface.
    Branch-Edge# configure terminal
    Branch-Edge(config)# cdp run
    Branch-Edge(config)# interface s0/0/1
    Branch-Edge(config-if)# no cdp enable
    Branch-Edge(config-if)# exit

    d. Issue a show cdp neighbors command to find any neighboring network devices.
    Note: CDP will only show connected Cisco devices that are also running CDP.
    Branch-Edge# show cdp neighbors

    Question:

    Is there a neighboring network device? What type of device is it? What is its name? On what interface is it
    connected? Is the device’s IP address listed? Record the information in the Addressing Table.

    Packet Tracer - Use CDP to Map a Network

    Note: It may take some time for CDP updates to be received. If you see no output from the command,
    press the Fast Forward Time button several times.
    Type your answers here.

    e. To find the IP address of the neighboring device use the show cdp neighbors detail command and
    record the ip address:
    Branch-Edge# show cdp neighbors detail
    Question:

    Aside from the neighboring device’s IP address, what other piece of potentially sensitive information is
    listed?

    Type your answers here.

    f. Now that you know the IP address of the neighbor device, connect to it with SSH in order to discover
    other devices that may be its neighbors.
    Note: To connect with SSH use the same Remote Branch Office username and password.
    Branch-Edge# ssh –l branchadmin <the ip address of the neighbor device>
    Question:

    After successfully connecting with SSH, what does the command prompt show?

    Type your answers here.


    g. You are remotely connected to the next neighbor. Use the show cdp neighbors command, and the
    show cdp neighbors detail command, to discover other connected neighbor devices.
    Question:

    What types of network devices neighbor this device? Record any newly discovered devices in the
    Addressing Table. Include their hostname, interfaces, and IP addresses.

    h. Continue discovering new network devices using SSH and the show CDP commands. Eventually, you will
    reach the end of the network and there will be no more devices to discover.
    Question:

    What is the name of the switch that does not have an IP address on the network?
    Type your answers here.
    i. Draw a topology of the Remote Branch Office network using the information you have gathered using
    CDP.
