Does Cisco Configuration Professional (CCP) required CDP to be run on the routers?

[clifford.gormley]

Hello,

I have five Cisco ISR G2 2921 routers, and I want to be able to manage them with Cisco Configuration Protocol.

1. Do I need to have Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) enabled to utilize a "topology-map creator" within the CCP to create a topology map?  (I am not even sure if this is a feature of CCP)

2. Do I need any ports open on the router to use CCP, ie. http, https, etc.?

Thanks,
Cliff

Hi,

For CCP, you need to enable these commands:

Step 2. Enable the router HTTP or HTTPS server using the following Cisco IOS Software commands.

If  HTTP and HTTPS are enabled and configured to use nonstandard port  numbers, you can skip this step and simply use the port number already  configured.

Router(config)# ip http server

Router(config)# ip http secure-server

Router(config)# ip http authentication local

You also need IOS 15 on the router.
