Hi all, One of the questions that was on my CCENT test recently was what command to use to check what is currently connected to your Cisco Router... the catch is you can't use any of the "show" commands. I still can't find the answer for this.. Can someone please advise and much thx!!

I think the answer might be... arp -a but that only shows you your ARP table (LAN Connections) and not the Routing Table (WAN Connections). Did they specify what layer of the OSI?

All I recall it asking was what command will provide what is connected to your router... I don't know if that meant interface or hardware... a trick question I would think.

That's messed up. Too open ended. Was it multiple choice? I would really like to know the answer too.

No!! It was on a simulation lab. So made it that much worse :)

Maybe: systat all from privileged mode. Output below is from a Cisco 2950 switch, not a router. But I suspect the command would be the same regardless. It will show who's connected if that's what the question was looking for. Switch01#systat all Line User Host(s) Idle Location 0 con 0 00:00:00 * 1 vty 0 idle 00:00:00 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2 vty 1 00:00:00 3 vty 2 00:00:00 4 vty 3 00:00:00 5 vty 4 00:00:00 6 vty 5 00:00:00 7 vty 6 00:00:00 8 vty 7 00:00:00 9 vty 8 00:00:00 10 vty 9 00:00:00 11 vty 10 00:00:00 12 vty 11 00:00:00 13 vty 12 00:00:00 14 vty 13 00:00:00 15 vty 14 00:00:00 16 vty 15 00:00:00 Interface User Mode Idle Peer Address Switch01#

I think you just might be right!!! MUCH THANKS TO EVERYONE...
