Understanding CDP Cisco Discovery Protocol

CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) is a proprietary Layer 2 network protocol developed by Cisco that enables devices to discover and learn about each other on a local network. It allows Cisco devices to identify and share information about neighboring Cisco equipment, such as device type, IP address, and capabilities.
