A

The correct command to configure globally on a Cisco router to view directly connected Cisco devices is "cdp run".

The Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to obtain information about directly connected Cisco equipment. By enabling CDP, a router or switch can gather information about neighboring Cisco devices, including device type, device ID, interface information, and the IP address of the neighboring device.

The "cdp run" command enables CDP globally on the device, meaning that CDP will be enabled on all interfaces of the device. This command should be entered in global configuration mode on the router.

The other answer options are incorrect:

  • "enable cdp" is not a valid command.
  • "cdp enable" is a valid command but is used to enable CDP on a specific interface, not globally.
  • "run cdp" is not a valid command.

In conclusion, the correct command to configure globally on a Cisco router to view directly connected Cisco devices is "cdp run".
