i ave 3 2500 router connected through back to back cables, ethernet
interfaces are connected to switch 2924, when i try to see teh other
routers, i see only the switch , no routers at all

RouterA#sh cdp neigh
Capability Codes: R - Router, T - Trans Bridge, B - Source Route Bridge
S - Switch, H - Host, I - IGMP, r - Repeater

Device ID Local Intrfce Holdtme Capability Platform Port ID
Switch Eth 0 128 T S WS-C2924C-Fas 0/3

i went into the config mode and did
cdp run

still same situation

here is sh ip route

RouterA#sh ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area

Gateway of last resort is not set

172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 5 subnets
I 172.16.50.0 [100/182671] via 172.16.20.2, 00:00:39, Serial0

C 172.16.10.0 is directly connected, Ethernet0


any ideas?

thnx

It's working as advertised. There's nothing wrong. CDP works with SNAP
multicast frames and is only good for "one hop" *IF* you do a "sho cdp
neigh" from the switch, you'll see all the routers.

That's because you're only connected to the switch. Look on the switch
and you'll see the routers. CDP is not routable or even switchable.

Check if you have cdp enabled on serial interfaces.

I assume the one hop is implemented by the cisco switch? I got curious
and looked at a couple of our routers - one is connected to a 2924-XL,
and works as you observed. The other is connected (along with a number
of other routers) to a 3com, and all of them are visible on the 7200.

You might try to turn off cdp at the switch tho I'm not sure you would
like the result. We have 3Com switches which ignore CDP so routers
running at 10 half on the one side of the switch see other routers
running at 100 full on the other side and they complain about interface
speed mismatches so much we have to turn off cdp.

3Com's don't know a thing about cdp (naturallY) so I guess it'll just
flood the multcast frame.

that's what i'd figured. i just thought it was interesting that the
cisco switches suppress that.
