Introduction
This document explains how to configure Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on Cisco routers and switches that run Cisco IOS®. Specifically, the document covers how to enable, verify, and disable CDP on Cisco devices and some know issues related to CDP.CDP is a Cisco proprietary Layer 2 protocol that is media- and protocol-independent, and runs on all Cisco-manufactured equipment that includes:
- routers
- bridges
- access servers
- switches
Prerequisites
Requirements
There are no specific requirements for this document.Components Used
This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions. This document applies to all Cisco routers and switches running Cisco IOS as well as router modules such as WS-X4232-L3, RSM, and MSFC.The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Enable/Disable CDP on a Cisco IOS Device
CDP is enabled on Cisco routers by default. If you prefer not to use the CDP capability, disable it with the no cdp run command. In order to reenable CDP, use the cdp run command in global configuration mode.You can verify whether CDP is enabled or disabled on your Cisco device using the show cdp neighbors command.
Router#show cdp neighbors
% CDP is not enabled
!--- This message indicates that CDP is disabled on this device.
Router#This command output indicates that CDP is enabled on the device, but no neighbor devices are discovered or connected to this device.Router#show cdp neighbors

Enable/Disable CDP on an Interface
When CDP is enabled globally using the cdp run command, it is enabled by default on all supported interfaces (except for Frame Relay multipoint subinterfaces) to send and receive CDP information. You can disable CDP on an interface that supports CDP with the no cdp enable command.Router#show cdp neighbors

Router#On this router, CDP is enabled on Serial 1 and Ethernet 0 interfaces. Disable CDP on the Serial 1 interface and verify if the neighbor device is discovered on the serial 1 interface, as this output shows:The router does not remove the entry for the neighbor on CDP disabled interface unless the hold time expires.
