router config dump 1

[max1x]

very new to the cisco world and have a couple of questions:

- How can I tell if I'm logged in to a router vs a switch? I did a sh ver / sh config / sh running-config, but it's not explicitly stated any where.

- I would like to dump of sh ip int desc without having to hit the enter or space bar, is that possible?

Thank you

Show version will give you the proper equipment type.

You can also use (show cdp neighbors detail) to get the ip and equipment type of connected router and switches....

on the command line type "term length 0". That will dump everything without pausing between pages of information. Just remember to set "term length 24" to set it back.

Default configs should have the prompt labeled as either switch or router. If you are renaming the devices, you may want to consider keeping like "rtr" or "sw" in the name to help keep it straight

term length 0 worked great.

I will look at sh ver more closely to see if I can poinpoint the information.

below is a sample sh ver of a 7200 router(you can tell the type of device by the model number Cisco IOS Software, 7200 Software (C7200P-IPBASE-M), Version 12.4(4)XD7 then just look up the model number for the type of device);

Thank you for the info.

The boxes I'm logging into does not state, at least, in the prompt what it is (i.e rtr vs sw).

Is there is any thing on the box it's self, explicity state rtr vs sw?

 

[lerdalt]

Without knowing the model numbers, not really. Because a router can do some switching functions and a switch can do some routing functions.

Are these production devices or in your home lab? If it's your home lab, you can change the prompt to whatever you want with the "hostname" command.

 

[max1x]

No, these are production boxes, where I'm loging in and pulling data for the several teams to use.

I was trying to create MASTER files for SW and RTR's, which the scripts can query, based on users choice.

If I do sh ver and get MODEL number (is this it C7200P-IPBASE-M)) and may be do a web-look up some where, I can do that...if you can tell me where to look...(I should google this as well)

 

[lerdalt]

I've got a script that is looking at the sysDesc.0 from an snmp request. Then it is comparing for model numbers of the switch to see if they exist. Maybe something like that would help you out more.

 

[max1x]

I apologise for not being clear, it seems:

Here's what I'm trying to do:

When the user logs in thru the web-interface on our site, they will choose SWITCH or RTR option, which based on their input, will list all the necessary devices. Currently, I can login to all the boxes and pull the information (based on sh ver), but I don't know how to tell if it's a SW or RTR, to break the information in appropirate files. So, the user they get a big list of all devices vs a break down.

I've been to the CISCO web-site, but can't seems to find a full list defining switch name vs rtr name (I'm still looking though). The names I capture, can be used to do a look up against this master table and identify one device vs other.

Hopefully, this makes it clear.

Post what you have and we'll tell you. For example, C7200 is a router.
Routers are c1600/1700/1800/2500/2600/2800/7200
switches are catalyst 2950, 2960, 3750, 6500, etc.

[lerdalt]

I gotcha. What we've done in my organization is in the name of each device, we have a 2 character designator for what the device is. SW = Switch RT = Router SR = switching/router (like a 6500).

Another option could be to use an snmp field to set it for something to query against.

But, burt is right, shoot the list out here, and we can break it down for you.

 

[max1x]

Thank you for you help, I googled every device and made a list. I'm just amazed their is no consolidated list.
