Configuring CDP

To set the CDP mode to pass-through or receive only, enter this command.

Syntax

Legacy Cisco VOIP phones only support manual configuration or using CDPv2 for voice VLAN auto-configuration. LLDP-MED is not supported. CDPv2 exchanges information such as software version, device capabilities, and voice VLAN information between directly connected devices such as a VOIP phone and a switch.

When the Cisco VOIP phone boots up (or sometimes periodically), it queries the switch and advertises information about itself using CDPv2. The switch receives the VOIP VLAN Query TLV (type 0x0f) from the phone and then immediately sends the voice VLAN ID in a reply packet to the phone using the VLAN Reply TLV (type 0x0e.) The phone then begins tagging all packets with the advertised voice VLAN ID.

	NOTE: A voice VLAN must be configured before the voice VLAN can be advertised. For example, to configure VLAN 10 as a voice VLAN tagged for ports 1 through 10, enter these commands: (HP_Switch_name#) vlan 10 HP Switch(vlan-10)# tagged 1-10 HP Switch(vlan-10)# voice HP Switch(vlan-10)# exit

The switch CDP packet includes these TLVs:

CDP should be enabled and running on the interfaces to which the phones are connected. Use the cdp enable and cdp run commands.

The pre-standard-voice option for the cdp mode command allows the configuration of CDP mode so that it responds to received CDP queries from a VoIP phone.

Syntax

Enable CDP-compatible voice VLAN discovery with pre-standard VoIP phones. In this mode, when a CDP VoIP VLAN query is received on a port from pre-standard phones, the switch replies back with a CDP packet that contains the VID of the voice VLAN associated with that port.

pre-standard-voice	Enables CDP-compatible voice VLAN discovery with pre-standard VoIP phones.
admin-status	Sets the port in either transmit and receive mode, or receive mode only. Default: tx-rx. <PORT-LIST> Sets this port in transmit and receive mode, or receive mode only. rxonly Enable receive-only mode of CDP processing. tx_rx Enable transmit and receive mode. NOTE: Not recommended for phones that support LLDP-MED.

Example

(HP_Switch_name#) cdp mode pre-standard-voice admin-status A5 rxonly

Example

Show CDP output when CDP Run is disabled.

HP Switch (config#) show cdp
Global CDP information
Enable CDP [yes] : no

Example

show cdp output when cdp run and sdp mode are enabled.

(HP_Switch_name#) show cdp
Global CDP Information
Enable CDP [Yes] : Yes
CDP mode [rxonly] : pre-standard-voice
CDP Hold Time [180] : 180
CDP Transmit Interval [60] : 60
Port CDP admin-status
---- --------- ------------
A1   enabled   rxonly
A2   enabled   tx_rx
A3   enabled   tx_rx

Example

show cdp output when cdp run and cdp mode rxonly are enabled. When CDP mode is not pre-standard voice, the admin-status column is note displayed.

(HP_Switch_name#) show cdp
Global CDP Information
Enable CDP [Yes} : Yes
CDP mode [rxonly] : rxonly

A2   enabled
A3   enabled

Example

show running-config when admin-status is configured.

(HP_Switch_name#) show running-config
Running configuration:

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

Example

To disable CDP on port A1:

(HP_Switch_name#) no cdp enable a1

Enabling CDP operation (the default) on the switch causes the switch to add entries to its CDP Neighbors table for any CDP packets it receives from other neighboring CDP devices.

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

Enables or disables CDP read-only operation on the switch.

(Default: Enabled)

Example

To disable CDP read-only on the switch:

(HP_Switch_name#) no cdp run

When CDP is disabled:

In some environments it is desirable to be able to configure a switch to handle CDP packets by filtering out the MAC address learns from untagged VLAN traffic from IP phones. This means that normal protocol processing occurs for the packets, but the addresses associated with these packets is not learned or reported by the software address management components. This enhancement also filters out the MAC address learns from LLDP and 802.1x EAPOL packets on untagged VLANs.

The feature is configured per-port.

CDP is shown as enabled/disabled both globally on the switch and on a per-port basis.

Syntax

Lists the global and per-port CDP configuration of the switch.

Example

(HP_Switch_name#) show cdp

 Global CDP information

  Enable CDP [Yes] : Yes (Receive Only)

Devices are listed by the port on which they were detected.

Syntax

Lists the neighboring CDP devices the switch detects, with a subset of the information collected from the device's CDP packet.

Example

(HP_Switch_name#) show cdp neighbors
