Certainly this is not a complete list, but I suppose that could be

funny to discover some new commands

Be careful and remember that these commands are not documented

so there is no warranty!

If you find new secret commands yourself please send it for me to

Command Name Configuration

Mode

Platform / Software

[no] ip spd queue {min-threshold | max-threshold} config IOS

Sets lower and upper ip process-level queue thresholds for SPD. With SSE

based SPD, lower precedence packets are randomly dropped when the queue size

hits min-threshold. The drop probability increases linearly with the queue

size until max-threshold is reached, at which point all lower precedence

packets are dropped. For regular SPD, lower precedence packets are dropped

when the queue size reaches min-threshold. Defaults are 50 and 75,

respectively. These values were not based on real life experience and may

need some tuning.

Reference: Cisco ISP Esssentials

[no] spd enable config IOS

Enable or disable the selective packet discard (SPD) feature. Command

is called ip spd enable in 11.1CC.

Reference: Cisco ISP Esssentials, CSCdk31898

aaa accounting delay-start config IOS

If you want to see IP addresses in the AAA start records, then you will want

aaa accounting delay-start which is hidden but universally used.

Reference:

aaa authorization console config IOS (>= 12.1(10.6))

This hidden commands enables authorization for the console port.

Otherwise authorization on the console ports always succeeds.

Aaron Leonard submitted CSCdp33836 and CSCdp33841 to get this

command documented.

aaa pod server [port ] [auth-type {any | all | session-key}] server-

key

config IOS (>= 11.3(7)AA)

Syntax Description

port (Optional) The network access server port to use for POD requests. If no

port is specified, port 1700 is used.

auth-type(Optional) The type of authorization required for disconnecting sessions.

o anySession that matches all of the attributes sent in the POD packet is

disconnected. The POD packet may contain one or more of four key attributes

(user-name, framed-IP-address, session-ID, and session-key).

o allOnly a session that matches all four key attributes is disconnected. All

is the default.

o session-keySession with a matching session-key attribute is disconnected. All other

attributes are ignored.

The secret text string that is shared between the network access server

and the client workstation. This secret string must be the same on

both systems.

This command is now documented as of 12.2(8)T.

Reference:

ais-enable config-if IOS

IOS version 12.0(7.1) includes a hidden command to enable generation of AIS

alarm on tx line when LOS is detected on rx line. This is a kludge to

workaround other vendors ATM switches (Newbridge) that dont generate

F4/F5 OAM AIS cells when F3 RDI is received. This command is only supported

on the PA-A3 port adapter. The hidden interface command ais-enable will

enable AIS alarm assertion when an LOS alarm occurs.

Reference: CSCdm37634

arap logging debug-extensions config IOS

This DDTS adds a hidden command, arap logging debug-extensions

which effectively negates the changes from CSCdi57713. Messages

that re-appear:Modem CD dropped unexpectedly. User exceeded timelimit ARAP connection was terminated. v42_input running (may be

low memory) v42_output running (may be low memory) Force Quit pak v42bisflush C Carrier dropped during startup

Reference: CSCdi68276, CSCdi57713

bgp common-administration config-router bgp IOS

www.IPexpert.ir

Free Cisco Training

Reference:

bgp maxas-limit config-router bgp IOS

This command should be used in router configuration mode; by default

there is no limit. If the number of ASes in the AS_PATH exceeds the

limit, the UPDATE will be stored in the BGP table, but not used in

the bestpath selection or propagated.

Reference: CSCdr54230, CSCdu00679

bgp redistribute-internal config-router bgp IOS

Normally redistributing BGP into another protocol only redistributes EBGP

routes. Using this command will also redistribute IBGP routes. Hidden

in IOS versions prior to 12.1.

Reference:

bridge-group subscriber-loop-control config-if IOS

Bridge between two machines on the same subinterface.

Reference:

clear ip eigrp [] events privileged exec IOS

Clear IP EIGRP event logs.

Reference:

clear ip eigrp [] logging privileged exec IOS

Stop IP EIGRP event logging.

Reference:

clock source free-running|line primary config-controller IOS

ip ospf interface-retry config-if IOS

From Cisco DE (slightly edited):The motivation for this command is a timing problem where OSPF fails to

determine the state of an interface. The solution was for OSPF to poll the

interface for a while to verify its state. The hidden command allows us to

lengthen the polling period on routers that have a large number of

interfaces. The polls occur every 10 seconds and the command controls the

number of polls that will be done. With a setting of 0 retries there will be

no extra polling.Default number of retries is 10.

ip route profile config IOS

As disclosed by Aaron Leonard from Cisco on cisco-nas:Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2003 09:34:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Aaron Leonard

Subject: Re: [cisco-nas] IP Route Profile In-reply-to: Your message dated Wed, 10 Sep 2003 22:21:02 -0500

To: Beprojects.com Cc: [email protected] [...] ip

route profile was implemented way back in late 96 by CSCdi76662. However we have historically refrained from documenting this

(CSCdk01634, CSCdz19775) as this has been declared to be a hidden command that should not be used by customers. However, in fact

this is NOT a hidden command so Ive just now gone ahead and reopened CSCdz19775. Introduction The Route Table Profiling feature

was developed to assist network engineers in monitoring routing table fluctuations, which may be the result of route flapping, network

failure, or network service restoration. This feature was added in CSCdi76662 to the 11.1CC train of Cisco IOS. The Route Table Profiling

feature is an undocumented and unsupported feature. There is no MIB support provided. Configuration The Route Table Profiling feature is

enabled globally. The command is ip route profile in global configuration mode. This feature can be disabled with the command no ip

route profile in global configuration mode. Routing table change statistics can be viewed with the show ip route profile command in exec

mode.

information about periodic SAPs from being

advertised by a router to the same interface on which the best route to that

SAP is learned. But in the case where the SAP may be learned from

interfaces other than (or in addition to) the interface on which the best

route to that SAP is learned, enabling ipx

server-split-horizon-on-server-paths will reduce unnecessary periodic SAP

updates as that SAP will not be advertised to the interface(s) where it was

learned from; this will also prevent potential SAP loop in the network.


ipx update interval {rip | sap} passive config IOS (>=11.3(1.3))

radius send service-type call-check config IOS (>= 12.1(4)T)

From: Dennis Peng To: scott.list Cc: [email protected] Message-ID:

I assume you have preauthentication already configured? By default, we send

Service-Type = Outbound-User. In 12.1(4)T and later, you can configure the (hidden) command radius send service-type call-check to

change the value from Outbound-User to Call-Check. I submitted CSCdt85947 to get the command unhidden and documented. Here is the

release-note I attached: The command radius send service-type call-check is hidden. This command is available in 12.1(4)T and later and

is used to change the value of the Service-Type RADIUS attribute the access server sends when doing pre-authentication. The default is to

send Outbound-User (5). With this command configured, we will send Call-Check (10). This is useful in a multi-vendor environment as well

as when migrating an existing RADIUS database for use withe Cisco access server.

radius-server unique-ident config IOS

Directly from the DDTS release note:The hidden command radius-server unique-ident can be used to try to

ensure that RADIUS session IDs are unique across IOS boots. It will have

the side effect of automatically writing the IOS configuration to NVRAM some

time after booting.When the router parses the command radius-server unique-ident it sets the

unique-ident variable to (n+1) and all accouting records have a prefix of

(n+1). When you look at the configuration or write the configuration to

NVRAM, it is also shows radius-server unique-ident.

If the box is reloaded, upon booting the router will parse radius-server

unique-ident and then set the unique-ident variable to (n+2) and all

accounting records have a prefix of (n+2). When you look at the

configuration or write the configuration to NVRAM, is will show

radius-server unique-ident.

service-policy classify-per-feature config IOS

From CSCds43683:Packets should be treated consistently on all platforms for a given

configuration. This fix addresses the consistency issue when QoS Mod CLI is

configured via the service-policy command on the 7500 vs the other IOS

platforms.After this fix, each packet will be matched for a matching class under the

policy-map until a match is found. Matching terminates at the first matching

class and all features configured under the class act on the packet. In the

current IOS releases, matching happens across all classes under a policy

until the first matching class is found for every configured QoS feature.

To maintain backward compatibility a hidden knob called service-policy

classify-per-feature knob is introduced. When configured, the behaviour

reverts to the current existing behaviour. By way of this fix, the default

behaviour will be common for all platforms. This fix is going to affect 7200

and other non-distributed platforms only.

show controller switch exec Cat 2900XL/3500XL, IOS

The show controller switch command provides indicative information regarding

the total switch utilization. An example is presented below:Switch#sh controller switch Switch registers: Device Type : 000040273

Congestion Threshold : 0x00000E95 Peak Total Allocation : 0x0000001A Total Allocation : 000000000 Peak Total Bandwidth :

000000020 Total Bandwidth : 000000000 Total Bandwidth Limit : 0x000003DE Lower Bandwidth Limit : 0x000003DE Switch Mode :

000040000 Switch#The Total Bandwidth Limit varies between different 2900XL and 3500XL models.

When the Total Bandwidth reaches the Total Bandwidth Limit value, the switch

has reached its full bandwidth capacity and begins to drop packets. The Peak

Total Bandwidth is the highest value attained by the Total Bandwidth since

the last time the show controller switch command was executed. Note, the

values for the above parameters are in hexadecimal.The Congestion Threshold value is used as conservative value for the maximum

global buffer utilization. When the buffer utilization noted by Total

Allocation reaches this value, the switch may drop frames. The Peak Total

Allocation value shows the highest value attained by the Total Allocation

since the last time the show controller switch command was executed. It is

possible for the Peak Total Allocation and/or the Total Allocation to be

greater than Congestion Threshold. If the Total Allocation reaches or is

over the Congestion Threshold amount, the switch is experiencing

considerable network activity near its full capacity.

The global buffer utilization may be adversely effected by several

configuration issues, described below:

1.Speed mismatch between an ingress and egress port; for example, several

100 megabit clients transferring files to a server connected to the

switch at 10 megabits, half-duplex.

2.Multiple input ports feeding a single output port.

3.Duplex mismatch on multiple ports.

4.Numerous ports that are experiencing collisions and/or output errors due

to half-duplex configuration or over-subscription of a slow link.

Layer 2 forwarding table entries for a given MAC address in a bridge group

are viewed using the show bridge bridge-group-number command.However, bridge table entries on the Catalyst 2948G-L3 and 4908G-L3

are actually formed internally of at least two entries, one on the source

interface (where the device with that MAC resides) and one on each

destination interface (the interface where, based on the destination MAC in

the frame, the traffic sourced from that MAC is destined). This is because

the learning process for populating the bridging tables on the Catalyst

show mbuf privileged exec XID/CatOS

Catalyst 5000: The main issue to observe with this command is whether the

switch is being starved for memory. Within the display, clusters is the

number of buffers that are available for NMP to process incoming packets,

which include any broadcast/multicast, management traffic. clfree is the

www.IPexpert.ir

number of buffers that are available for the NMP at any given time. If this

is zero then this means that NMP has no buffers to process any incoming

frames. lowest clfree determines the lowest watermark that NMP has hit at

any time. If this value is zero but clfree is nonzero, then this means that

at one instance NMP ran out of buffers. This can be because of a broadcast

of a multicast storm in the management VLAN.

snmp-server priority {low | normal | high} config IOS

www.IPexpert.ir

Free Cisco Training

Global configuration command can be used to change the priority of SNMP

processes. To avoid extensive polling, the priority should be set to low

. All SNMP queries sent to a router are prioritized as either low or medium

priority, depending on the version of code run by the route processor. This

means that processes with a higher priority than the SNMP process will be

serviced before SNMP. So, regardless of SNMP polling intensity, routing

processes will generally be processed before SNMP requests because route

processes are high priority.

the number of sessions you wish to pre-clone. Please note that with l2tp

[by default], if you choose to pre-clone you are limited to the number of

sessions you pre-cloned. i.e. if you pre-clone 1000 sessions, you cannot

set up more then 1000 sessions for the given virtual-template.

vpdn ip udp ignore checksum config IOS

This command tells the router to ignore the checksum on UDP packets used

by L2TP/L2F and can be used to temporarily reduce CPU load.This probably is per the suggestion in RFC 2661, section 8.1: The default

for any L2TP implementation is that UDP checksums MUST be enabled for both

control and data messages. An L2TP implementation MAY provide an option to

disable UDP checksums for data messages. It is recommended that UDP

checksums always be enabled on control packets.And Dennis Peng from Cisco added the following note (on cisco-nas):

Verification of the UDP checksum forces

us into the process switching path which will result in increased CPU

usage. By default, Cisco LACs will not set the UDP checksum, so in a

Cisco to Cisco environment, you dont need this command. But other

vendors may set the UDP checksum, so in a multi-vendor environment, it

is probably a good idea to include it. One big vendor which sets the

UDP checksum is Microsoft, their L2TP client does this.

vpdn {l2f|l2tp} session table-size config IOS

This command sets the number of buckets on the hash table used for looking

up multiplex IDs (session IDs in L2TP speak; both use a 16-bit namespace)

and so finding the session control data structures. Each tunnel has its own

MID lookup table. can range from 16 to 2048 but cannot be greater

than the number L2F/L2TP interfaces available (which is platform dependent).

The default number of buckets is platform dependent. If is not a

power of two it is rounded down to the next power of two.Some performance might be gained by increasing the hash table size and so

reducing the number of collisions at the expense of increased memory usage.

[acct-port port-number] deadtime (minutes) pick-method [next | load-balanced | round-robin]

[hidden] Pick-method server-group configuration command used to specify an alternate method

of selecting servers when one is not responding. As of 12.0(3)T the load-balanced and round-

robin alternatives may be specified butmay not be implemented. The load-balanced keyword

indicates that the initial host is selected load-balanced. The round-robin keyword indicates that

the initial host is selected in a round-robin method with all servers being retried before starting

from the beginning of the list of servers. The next keyword indicates that the list of servers is

stepped through sequentially with each request always starting with the first server in the list.

This last option is the default method of operation.

aaa nas port description text

[hidden] global configuration command causes the specified text to appear in TACACS+

clockrate {1200 | [...]| 2015232 }

There is an anomaly between what is documented, what is displayed and what is entered for this

command. The documentation indicates the command is clock rate and this is what IOS shows

as the valid command in configuration mode. However, a configuration display shows the

command as clockrate as this is how is saved in nvram. In addition, older rom monitors do not

understand the newer clock rate command which would cause problems. What actually happens

here is that clockrate is implemented as a hidden command and is not completed by pressing tab

and nor is there any help generated for it. But both clockrate and clock rate are accepted and

there should be no problem in cutting and pasting the configurations.
