Cisco DDR Configuration

Following are some of the key points in configuring Cisco DDR on Cisco router.

DDR Legacy Concepts and Configuration

Step 1: Routing Packets Out the Interface to be Dialed
ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.1
Step 2: Determining the Subset of the Packets That Trigger the Dialing Process
access-list 101 permit tcp any host 192.168.0.1 eq 80

! all ip packets being considered interesting
dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit

! all packets to the web servers consider interesting
dialer-list 2 protocol ip list 101

interface bri 0
encapsulation ppp
ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0

Cisco VLAN

Following is an example Cisco VLAN configuration.

Create and name two VLANs in Cisco switch
Switch_A#vlan database
Switch_A(vlan)#vlan 2 name VLAN2
Switch_A(vlan)#vlan 3 name VLAN3

Assign ports to VLAN 2
Switch_A#configure terminal
Switch_A(config)#interface fastethernet 0/2
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch_A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 2

  1. show cdp interface
  2. show cdp neighbors
  3. show cdp neighbors detail
  4. debug cdp packets
  5. undebug all
  6. show cdp traffic
  7. clear cdp counters

Using Cisco IOS show commands

Following are some of the Cisco IOS show command on Cisco router / switch

  2. show version
  3. show clock
  4. show hosts
  5. show users
  6. show history
  7. show arp
  8. show flash
  9. show running-config
  10. show starup-config

Cisco Networking Basics

Private Addressing
  1. 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
  2. 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
