Configuring for Network Management Applications

LLDP (Link-Layer Discovery Protocol)

Disabling CDP Operation. Disabling CDP operation clears the switch’s CDP Neighbors table and causes the switch to drop inbound CDP packets from other devices without entering the data in the CDP Neighbors table.

Syntax: [no] cdp run

Enables or disables CDP read-only operation on the switch. (Default: Enabled)

For example, to disable CDP read-only on the switch:

ProCurve(config)# no cdp run

When CDP is disabled:

show cdp neighbors displays an empty CDP Neighbors table

show cdp displays

Global CDP information

Enable CDP [Yes]: No

Enabling or Disabling CDP Operation on Individual Ports. In the factory-default configuration, the switch has all ports enabled to receive CDP packets. Disabling CDP on a port causes it to drop inbound CDP packets without recording their data in the CDP Neighbors table.

Syntax: [no] cdp enable < [e] port-list >

For example, to disable CDP on port A1:

ProCurve(config)# no cdp enable a1
