The switch supports CDP Version 2.

CDP and Switch Stacks

A switch stack appears as a single switch in the network. Therefore, CDP discovers the switch stack, not
the individual stack members. The switch stack sends CDP messages to neighboring network devices
when there are changes to the switch stack membership, such as stack members being added or removed.

discarding it, and whether or not to send Version-2 advertisements.

CDP identifies connected endpoints that communicate directly with the switch.
To prevent duplicate reports of neighboring devices, only one wired switch reports the location
information.
The wired switch and the endpoints both send and receive location information.
