Login to the router and run a "show ip interface brief" this will list all ip address and interfaces. Or refer to documentation *if you have any about the network. or ipconfig on your workstation and default gateway is usually the routers interface your connected to. telnet to that ip address to get to the router.

hope it helps

JRC, now that you mentioned that, I just thought of something. Dove: once you are able to recover the passwords and get logged in with no problem, you may want to try the "show cdp neighbors command." It uses the Cisco Discovery Protocol to show what other routers are directly connected. By using this, you can find out the IP address of each directly connected router, then telnet to it and execute the show cdp neighbors command again to get the information for the next directly connected router, and so on and so forth, until you have your network mapped out! I hope this helps you in establishing control of your new network. Keep me posted. I am interested in finding how this works out for you. I can learn from your experience as well. That's what it's all about...


Oh, here is some more information on CDP.


Peace and Blessings.

Is there a default Cisco enable password ??

It is either blank or cisco depending on what piece of Cisco equipment you are using.
