CDP Interface Settings

The Interface Settings page enables you to enable/disable CDP per port. By setting these properties, it’s possible to select the types of information to be provided to devices that support the protocol.

To define the CDP interface settings:

Procedure

Step 1

Click Administration > Discovery - CDP > Interface Settings.

This page displays the following CDP information for each interface.

  • Entry No.—Port identifier.

  • CDP Status—CDP publishing option for the port.

  • Reporting Conflicts with CDP Neighbors—Status of the reporting options that are enabled/disabled in the Edit page (Voice VLAN/Native VLAN/Duplex).

  • No. of Neighbors—Number of neighbors detected.

    The bottom of the page has four buttons:

  • Copy Settings—Select to copy a configuration from one port to another.

  • Edit—Fields explained in Step 2 below.

  • CDP Local Information Details—Takes you to the CDP Local Information .

  • CDP Neighbor Information Details—Takes you to the CDP Neighbors Information.

Step 2

Select a port and click Edit.

This page provides the following fields:

  • Interface—Select the interface to be defined.

  • CDP Status—Select to enable/disable the CDP publishing option for the port.

    Note

    The next three fields are operational when the device has been set up to send traps to the management station.

  • Syslog Voice VLAN Mismatch—Select to enable sending a SYSLOG message when a voice VLAN mismatch is detected. This means that the voice VLAN information in the incoming frame doesn’t match what the local device is advertising.

  • Syslog Native VLAN Mismatch—Select to enable sending a SYSLOG message when a native VLAN mismatch is detected. This means that the native VLAN information in the incoming frame doesn’t match what the local device is advertising.

  • Syslog Duplex Mismatch—Select to enable sending a SYSLOG message when duplex information mismatch is detected. This means that the duplex information in the incoming frame doesn’t match what the local device is advertising.

Step 3

Enter the relevant information, and click Apply. The port settings are written to the Running Configuration.
