set cdp auth

set cdp auth

Use this command to set a global CDP authentication code.

set cdp auth auth-code

Parameters

auth‐code	Specifies an authentication code for the CDP protocol. This can be up to 16
	hexadecimal values separated by commas.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Switch command, read‐write.

Usage

The authentication code value determines a switch’s CDP domain. If two or more switches have the same CDP authentication code, they will be entered into each other’s CDP neighbor tables. If they have different authentication codes, they are in different domains and will not be entered into each other’s CDP neighbor tables.

A switch with the default authentication code (16 null characters) will recognize all switches, no matter what their authentication code, and enter them into its CDP neighbor table.
