About Configuring CDP
The Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is an advertisement protocol used by Cisco devices to advertise itself to other Cisco devices in the same network. CDP runs on the data link layer and is independent of Layer 3 protocols. Cisco devices that receive the CDP packets cache the information to make it is accessible through the CLI and SNMP. CDP is supported on the management Ethernet interface on the supervisor module and the Gigabit Ethernet interface on the IPS module. The CDP daemon is restartable and switchable. The running and startup configurations are available across restarts and switchovers.
