CDP Page
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a device-discovery protocol that runs on all
Cisco network equipment. Each device sends identifying messages to a multicast
address, and each device monitors the messages sent by other devices.
Information in CDP packets is used in network management software such as
CiscoWorks2000. Use the CDP page to adjust the device's CDP settings.
