LLDP, LLDP-MED, and Wired Location Service Overview
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, switches, and controllers). CDP allows
network management applications to automatically discover and learn about other Cisco devices connected
to the network.
