Understanding LLDP, LLDP-MED, and Wired Location Service
LLDP
The Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a device discovery protocol that runs over Layer 2 (the data link
layer) on all Cisco-manufactured devices (routers, bridges, access servers, and switches). CDP allows
network management applications to automatically discover and learn about other Cisco devices
connected to the network.
