CDP packets

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) packets are used by Cisco devices to advertise themselves to other
Cisco devices. By default, Brocade devices forward these packets without examining their contents.
You can configure a Brocade device to intercept and display the contents of CDP packets. This
feature is useful for learning device and interface information for Cisco devices in the network.

Brocade devices support intercepting and interpreting CDP version 1 and version 2 packets.

NOTE
The Brocade device can interpret only the information fields that are common to both CDP version 1
and CDP version 2.
