Hi,

Does anybody know of any ready built controls/DLLs to read and send Cisco CDP messages?
 
Don't know if this will help but...

and this is the first link


where it states in the Overview
The system software sends IOS system messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on another system) during operation. Not all system messages mean problems with your system. Some messages are purely informational, and others can help diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software. Each message includes the message itself, an explanation of the problem or condition, and, if available, a recommended course of action.

I hope this helps, Good Luck
 
Thank you for the reply. Actually what I am looking for is a ready built control/module I can use in my application to send and receive Cisco CDP packets so my application will know which switch and port the host's NIC is connected to. Just hoping to find this component I can use.... if not I'll probably write my own
