Extreme Discovery Protocol

The Extreme Discovery Protocol (EDP) is used to gather information about neighbor Extreme Networks
switches. EDP is used to by the switches to exchange topology information. Information communicated
using EDP includes:
Switch MAC address (switch ID)
●
Switch software version information
●
Switch IP address
●
Switch VLAN-IP information
●
Switch port number
●
Switch configuration data: duplex and speed
●
EDP is enabled on all ports by default. EDP enabled ports advertise information about the Extreme
Networks switch to other switches on the interface and receives advertisements from other Extreme
Networks switches. Information about other Extreme Networks switches is discarded after a timeout
interval is reached without receiving another advertisement.
To disable EDP on one or more ports, use the following command:
disable edp ports [<ports> | all]
To enable EDP on specified ports, use the following command:
enable edp ports [<ports> | all]
To clear EDP counters on the switch, use the following command:
clear counters edp
This command clears the following counters for EDP protocol data units (PDUs) sent and received per
EDP port:
Switch PDUs transmitted
●
VLAN PDUs transmitted
