CDP Neighbors Does Not See Switch

dtom

We have the following configuration:

router --> switchA --> switchB

Cisco 3845 router

=============

int gi0/0 --> connected to our WAN

int gi0/1 --> connected to our local network

int gi0/1.8 --> local network sub-interface

  encap dot1q 8

  ip address 10.10.8.1

Cisco 2960 switch (switchA)

=====================

int gi1/0/49

  switchport mode trunk

!

int gi1/0/50

  switchport mode trunk

!

vlan 1

vlan 8

!

Cisco 2960 switch (switchA)

=====================

int gi1/0/49

switchport mode trunk

!

vlan 1

vlan 8

!

Router

=====

int gi0/0 is connected to our WAN

int gi0/1 is connected to the 2960 switch (switchA)

Switch A

=======

int gi1/0/49 is connected to the router

int gi1/0/50 is connected to switchB

Switch B

=======

int gi1/0/49 is connected to switchA

If we run the command CDP NEIGHBORS on the router, all we see are devices on the other side of int gi0/0 (WAN link) and nothing on the local network (switchA)

If we run the command CDP NEIGHBORS on switchA we see the router and switchB

We have looked at the configuration on the router and switches and cannot figure out why the router does not see any local devices using the CDP NEIGHBORS command.  Tried CDP RUN on the router and CDP ENABLE on int gi0/1 and gi0/1.8. 

Any thoughts here?

I think this is due to the fact that CDP is carried in VLAN 1, and there's no sub-interface with VLAN 1 on the router.

On the router issue "clear cdp table" and test again.

If not, plug and unplug the physical link and test.

Check to see if the trunk link from Switch A to the 3845 is configured for dot1q encapsulation, it may be set to ISL:

show int trunk

If it is ISL, then at the interface change it to dot1q

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

That was it.  the sub-interface with Vlan1 was shutdown.  Thank.
