Viewing CDP Statistics
The CDP Statistics page displays information regarding Cisco Discovery Protocol
(CDP) frames that were sent or received from a port. CDP packets are received
from devices attached to the switches interfaces, and are used for the Smartport
feature. See Configuring CDP for more information.
CDP statistics for a port are only displayed if CDP is enabled globally and on the
port. This is done in the CDP Properties page and the CDP Interface Settings
page.
