Chapter 10 - Sections & Objectives
 10.1 Device Discovery
• Use discovery protocols to map a network topology.
 10.2 Device Management
• Configure NTP and Syslog in a small to medium-sized business
network
 10.3 Device Maintenance
• Maintain router and switch configuration and IOS files.

10.1 Device Discovery

Device Discovery
Device Discovery with CDP
 CDP Overview
• Cisco Discovery Protocol
• Neighbor discovery of physically connected Cisco devices
 Configure and Verify CDP
• show cdp neighbors
• show cdp interface
• cdp run
• cdp enable
 Discover Devices Using CDP
• Device identifiers - The host name of the neighbor device
• Port identifier - The name of the local and remote port
• Capabilities list - Whether the device is a router or a switch
• Platform - The hardware platform of the device

Device Discovery
Device Discovery with LLDP
 LLDP Overview
• A vendor neutral layer 2 neighbor discovery protocol, similar to CDP
 Configure and Verify LLDP
• show lldp
• lldp run
• lldp transmit
• lldp receive
 Discover Devices Using LLDP
• show lldp neighbors

10.2 Device Management

Device Management
Implement NTP
 Setting the System Clock
• Manually configure the date and time
• Configure Network Time Protocol (NTP)
 NTP Operation
• Hierarchical system of time sources
• Stratum 0 – Authoritative time source
• Stratum number indicates how far the
server is from the time source
 Configure and Verify NTP
• ntp server ip-address
• show ntp associations
• show ntp status
• show clock

Device Management
Syslog Operation
 Introduction to Syslog
• Allows devices to send their messages to syslog server
• Supported by most networking devices
• Primary functions:
o log information
o select the type
o specify the destinations
 Syslog Message Format
• Severity level from 0 – 7
• Facility – service identifiers
 Service Timestamp
• Enhances real-time debugging and management
• service timestamps log datetime

Device Management
Syslog Configuration
 Syslog Server
• Parses the output and places the messages into pre-defined columns
• Timestamps are displayed if configured on networking devices that generated the
log messages
• Allows the network administrators to navigate the large amount of data compiled
on a syslog server.
 Default Logging
• Send log messages of all severity level to the console
• show logging
 Router and Switch Commands for Syslog Clients
• logging ip-address
• logging trap level
• logging source-interface source-interface interface-number
 Verifying Syslog
• show logging
• Use the pipe (|) to limit the amount of displayed log messages

10.3 Device Maintenance

Device Maintenance
Router and Switch File Maintenance
 Router and Switch File Systems
• show file systems – lists all available file system
• dir – lists the content of the file system
• pwd - verify the present working directory
• cd – changes the current directory
 Backing up and Restoring using Text Files

Device Maintenance
Router and Switch File Maintenance (Cont.)
 Backing up and Restoring using TFTP
• copy running-config tftp
• copy startup-config tftp
 Using USB Ports for Backing Up and Restoring
• show file systems
• dir usbflash0:
• copy run usbflash0:/
 Password Recovery
• Enter ROMMON mode
• Change configuration register to 0x2142
• Make changes to the original startup config
• Save the new configuration

Device Maintenance
IOS System Files
 IOS 15 System Image Packaging
• universalk9 images
• universalk9_npe images
• Technology packages: IP Base, Data, UC, SEC
• Data, UC, and SEC technology packages are activated through licensing
 IOS Image Filenames
• Feature sets and version
• show flash

Device Maintenance
IOS Image Management
 TFTP Servers as a Backup Location
• Backup location for IOS images and configuration files
 Steps to Backup IOS Image to TFTP Server
• Verify access to TFTP server
• Verify sufficient disk space
• Copy the image to the TFTP server
o copy source-url tftp:
 Steps to Copy an IOS Image to a Device
• Download IOS image from Cisco.com and transfer it to TFTP server
• Verify access to TFTP server from device
• Verify sufficient disk space on device
• Copy the image from the TFTP server
o copy tftp: destination-url
 The boot system Command
• Command to load the new image during bootup
• boot system file-url

Device Maintenance
Software Licensing
 Licensing Process
• Purchase the software package or feature
to install
• Obtain a license
o Cisco License Manger
o Cisco License Portal
o Requires PAK number and UDI
show license udi
• Install the license
o license install stored-
location-url
o reload

Device Maintenance
License Verification and Management
 License verification
• show version
• show license
 Activate an evaluation right-to-use license
• license accept end user agreement
• license boot module module-name technology-package package-
name
 Back up the license
• license save file-sys://lic-location
 Uninstall the license
• Disable the license
o license boot module module-name technology-package package-
name disable
• Clear the license
o license clear feature-name
o no license boot module module-name technology-package
package-name disable

10.4 Chapter Summary

Chapter Summary
Summary
 CDP is a Cisco proprietary protocol for network discovery on the data link
layer. It can share information, such as device names and IOS versions, with
other physically connected Cisco devices.
 LLDP is vendor-neutral protocol used on the data link layer for network
discovery. The network devices advertise information, such as their identities
and capabilities, to their neighbors.
 NTP synchronizes the time of day among a set of distributed time servers and
clients. This allows networking devices to agree on the time a specific event
occurred, such as the loss of connectivity between a router and a switch.
 Syslog messages can be trapped and sent to a syslog server where the
network administrator can investigate when the link failed.
 Device maintenance includes the tasks of backing up, restoring, and
upgrading IOS images and configuration files from an TFTP server or using
USB storage devices.
 Upgrading an IOS image also includes tasks related to software licensing.
 Understanding IOS image name conventions can be useful in the
determination of included IOS feature sets.
