+This device tracker needs SSH to be enabled on the router. +
+ +Before using this scanner it is recommended that you lower the arp cache timeout on your router, as Cisco IOS normally comes with a 4 hour default arp cache timeout. + +For example, the following commands will lower the timeout to 2 minutes on Vlan1: + +```bash +# 1. use this command to see what Vlan your devices are on +show ip arp + +# 2. Go into configure mode +conf t + +# 3. Use the Vlan name as you see it from step 1 above +interface Vlan1 + +# 4. Set a new arp cache timeout +arp timeout 120 + +# 5. Exit +# Press+If you have a very large number of devices on your VLan (+1000), then you may want to adjust the arp cache timeout to suit your needs. See [this discussion](https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/10169296/arp-timeout) to learn more. +
+ +To use this device tracker in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file: + +```yaml +# Example configuration.yaml entry +device_tracker: + platform: cisco_ios + host: ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS + username: YOUR_ADMIN_USERNAME + password: YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD +``` + +Configuration variables: + +- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of your router, e.g. 192.168.1.1. +- **username** (*Required*): The username of an user with administrative privileges. +- **password** (*Required*): The password for your given admin account. + + +See the [device tracker component page](/components/device_tracker/) for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked. + + diff --git a/source/images/supported_brands/cisco.png b/source/images/supported_brands/cisco.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..7aff7da2e0b Binary files /dev/null and b/source/images/supported_brands/cisco.png differ
