LLDP-MED and Cisco Discovery Protocol
Category: Networking and Communications
Tags: ethernet, network management, atm, routers, network, management
Overview Cisco Discovery Protocol runs on Cisco devices (routers, switches, phones, etc.) and is also licensed to run on some network devices from other vendors. Using Cisco Discovery Protocol, network devices periodically advertise their own information to a multicast address on the network, making it available to any device or application that wishes to listen and collect it. Because Cisco Discovery Protocol runs over Ethernet, ATM, and Frame Relay links, it is independent of network protocol. With this capability in the network, Cisco customers can introduce a new network management application that can discover and display an accurate topology of all the Cisco devices active on the network.
