Login issue

[sikandars2203]

I'm unable to login a manageable switch from a router. I don't know IP address of switch. How can I access the switch from router by taking ssh.

Switch:2960

first try to get IP of switch. you can use CDP neighbors commands to check that or need to manually check that by login to switch. then make sure router have connectivity to that IP and use that to SSH.

Hello,

as far as I recall, you need to use the 'show cdp neighbors detail' command in order to be able to see the IP address:

Switch#sh cdp neighbors gigabitEthernet 0/0 detail
