Command Name Configuration Mode Platform / Software
[no] ip spd queue {min-threshold | max-threshold} <n> 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.  
Reference: Dennis Peng <dpeng@cisco.com>, <20010510092606.I19846@sj-cse-320.cisco.com> and Aaron Leonard <aaron@cisco.com>, <20010510094014.K19846@sj-cse-320.cisco.com> on cisco-nas, as well as CSCdi82030
aaa pod server [port <port number>] [auth-type {any | all | session-key}] server-key <string> config  IOS (>= 11.3(7)AA) 

Syntax Description

  • port <port number>

    (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.

    • any

      Session 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).

    • all

      Only a session that matches all four key attributes is disconnected. All is the default.

    • session-key

      Session with a matching session-key attribute is disconnected. All other attributes are ignored.

  • <string>

    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 vendor's ATM switches (Newbridge) that don't 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 
 
Reference:
bgp maxas-limit <1 - 2000> 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 <bridge-num> subscriber-loop-control config-if  IOS 
Bridge between two machines on the same subinterface.  
Reference:
clear ip eigrp [<as>] events privileged exec  IOS 
Clear IP EIGRP event logs.  
Reference:
clear ip eigrp [<as>] logging privileged exec  IOS 
Stop IP EIGRP event logging.  
Reference:
clock source free-running|line primary config-controller  IOS 
Generate or sample clock rate from the line.  
Reference:
csim exec  IOS 

With the command csim you can emulate a voice call. It's like sombody calls the specified number. Usefull, if you don't have physically access to the telephone:

Sucessfull call:

wg1r1#csim start 089150
csim: called number = 089150, loop count = 1 ping count = 0
csim err csimDisconnected recvd DISC cid(21) 
csim: loop = 1, failed = 1 
csim: call attempted = 1, setup failed = 1, tone failed = 0

Call to an undefined number:

wg1r1#csim start 089151
csim: called number = 089151, loop count = 1 ping count = 0 

csim err:csim_do_test Error peer not found

It's hidden, and you have to configure "service internal" in order to bring it into existence.

  • <secs-between-runs> is 0-2147483 number of seconds between ager runs, default = 60 seconds. If the period between ager invalidation runs is set to 0, the ager process is disabled entirely.
  • <fraction-low-memory> is 2-50 1/<fraction-low-memory> of cache to age per run (low memory), default = 4.
  • <fraction> is 3-100 1/<fraction> of cache to age per run (normal), default = 20.

Configures the ager of the fast switching cache. Aaron Leonard <Aaron@cisco.com> recommended "20 3 3" on cisco-nas in the light of recent CodeRed attacks, i.e. make the ager more aggressive to prevent excessive cache growth.

ip ospf interface-retry <retries> 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" 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 I've 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.

ipx server-split-horizon-on-server-paths config  IOS 
This global configuratiom command specifies that split horizon SAP occurs on server paths.

This command is documented in DDTS CSCdm12190. From the release note:

By default, split horizon blocks 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.

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 : 0x00040273
    Congestion Threshold : 0x00000E95
    Peak Total Allocation : 0x0000001A
    Total Allocation : 0x00000000
    Peak Total Bandwidth : 0x00000020
    Total Bandwidth : 0x00000000
    Total Bandwidth Limit : 0x000003DE
    Lower Bandwidth Limit : 0x000003DE
    Switch Mode : 0x00040000

    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.
