Configuring CDP compatibility

To make your switch work with Cisco IP phones, you must enable CDP compatibility.
CDP compatibility enables your switch to receive and recognize CDP packets from a Cisco IP phone and

respond with CDP packets.

Configuration prerequisites

Before configuring CDP compatibility, complete the following tasks:

Enable LLDP globally.

Enable LLDP on the port connecting to an IP phone.

Configure LLDP to operate in TxRx mode on the port.

Configuration procedure

CDP-compatible LLDP operates in one of the follows modes:

TxRx—CDP packets can be transmitted and received.

Disable—CDP packets cannot be transmitted or received.

To make CDP-compatible LLDP take effect on a port, follow these steps:

1.

Enable CDP-compatible LLDP globally.

2.

Configure CDP-compatible LLDP to operate in TxRx mode on the port.

The maximum TTL value that CDP allows is 255 seconds. To make CDP-compatible LLDP work correctly

with Cisco IP phones, make sure the product of the TTL multiplier and the LLDP frame transmission interval

is less than 255 seconds.
