Background / Scenario
Cisco Discovery Protocol (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.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is vendor-neutral protocol using on the data link layer for network
discovery. It is mainly used with network devices in the local area network (LAN). The network devices
advertise information, such as their identities and capabilities to their neighbors.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronizes the time of day among a set of distributed time servers and
clients. NTP uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as its transport protocol. By default, NTP
communications use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
An NTP server usually receives its time from an authoritative time source, such as an atomic clock attached
to a time server. It then distributes this time across the network. NTP is extremely efficient; no more than one
packet per minute is necessary to synchronize two machines to within a millisecond of each other.
In this lab, you must document the ports that are connected to other switches using CDP and LLDP. You will
document your findings in a network topology diagram.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4
(universalk9 image). The switches used in the labs are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)
(lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model
and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in
the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of the lab for the correct interface identifiers.

Note: Ensure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are
unsure contact your instructor.
Required Resources

 Ethernet cables as shown in the topology
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings on the router and switches.
Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Attach the devices as shown in the topology diagram, and cable as necessary.
Step 2: Configure basic settings for the router.

Open configuration window
a. Assign a device name to the router.

though they were host names.
c. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password.
d. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login.
e. Assign cisco as the VTY password and enable login.
f. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.
g. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is prohibited.
h. Configure interfaces as listed in the table above
i. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.
Close configuration window
Step 3: Configure basic settings for each switch.

a. Assign a device name to the switch.

b. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered commands as
though they were host names.
c. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password.
d. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login.
e. Assign cisco as the VTY password and enable login.
f. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.
g. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device sees the banner message “Authorized Users
Only !”.
h. Shut down all unused interfaces.
i. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.
Part 2: Network Discovery with CDP

On Cisco devices, CDP is enabled by default. You will use CDP to discover the ports that are currently
connected.
a. On R1, use the appropriate show cdp command to determine how many interfaces are CDP enabled,
and of those how many are up and how many are down.
Question:
How many interfaces are participating in the CDP advertisement? Which interfaces are up?
Type your answers here.
b. On R1, use the appropriate show cdp command to determine the IOS version used on S1.
R1# show cdp entry S1

d. Configure the SVI for VLAN 1 on S1 and S2 using the IP addresses specified in the Addressing Table
above. Configure the default gateway on each switch based on the Address Table.
e. On R1, issue the show cdp entry S1 command.

Question:

f. Disable CDP globally on all devices.

R1(config)# no cdp run
SW1(config)# no cdp run
SW2(config)# no cdp run
Part 3: Network Discovery with LLDP

On Cisco devices, LLDP maybe enabled by default. You will use LLDP to discover the ports that are currently
connected.
a. Enter the appropriate lldp command to enable LLDP on all devices in the topology.
R1(config)# lldp run
SW1(config)# lldp run
SW2(config)# lldp run
b. On S1, issue the appropriate lldp command to give you detailed information on S2.
S1# show lldp entry S2

c. Console into all the devices and use the LLDP commands necessary for you to draw the physical network
topology from only the show command output.
The main command to use is show lldp nei. It is because to see where all neighbours in listed on
SW1
Part 4: Configure NTP

In Part 4, you will configure R1 as the NTP server and S1 and S2 as NTP clients of R1. Synchronized time is
important for syslog and debug functions. If the time is not synchronized, it is difficult to determine what
network event caused the message.
Step 1: Display the current time.

Issue the show clock detail command to display the current time on R1. Record the information regarding
the current time displayed in the following table.
Date Time Time Zone Time Source
Not setBlank Not set Not setblank

Not set
Step 2: Set the time.

Use the appropriate command to set the time on R1. The time entered should be in UTC.
Step 3: Configure the NTP master.

Configure R1 as the NTP master with a stratum level of 4.
Step 4: Configure the NTP client.

a. Issue the appropriate command on S1 and S2 to see the configured time. Record the current time
displayed in the following table.
Date Time Time Zone
Blank Blank Blank
b. Configure S1 and S2 as NTP clients. Use the appropriate NTP commands to obtain time from R1’s
G0/0/1 interface, as well as to periodically update the calendar or hardware clock on the switch.
Sw1(config)#ntp server 10.22.0.1
Sw1(config)#ntp update-calendar
Sw2(config)#ntp server 10.22.0.1

Sw2(config)#ntp update-calendar
Step 5: Verify NTP configuration.

a. Use the appropriate show command to verify that S1 and S2 are synchronized with R1.
Note: It could take a few minutes before the switches are synchronized with R1.
b. Issue the appropriate command on S1 and S2 to see the configured time and compare the time recorded
earlier.
Reflection Question
Within a network, on which interfaces should you not use discovery protocols? Explain.
Discovery protocols should not be used on interfaces because all these protocols provide insight about the
internal network. This information about the internal network and can be used to exploit the network.

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example
of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in
Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
