CDP

[xdxml12]

Hello there,

I had a question regarding CDP. I was trying to draw a diagram for my network, when the following problem occurs.

When using "show cdp neighbor" command on my primary core switch i see the proper name and interface # of the attached secondary core switch. However, upon using the "show cdp neigh fa1/1 detail" command (fa1/1 is the port i get that is attached directly to the secondary core switch and is the correct int that is connected to it) i get the wrong ip!!! The ip it gives me is not that of the secondary core switch but is that of the asa firewall!! When i go on the secondary core switch and do the same thing i get the same result but it gives me the ip of the 2nd asa firewall instead.

Notes: I am logged in to the management vlan. Firewall vlan is separate as well. asa is also connected to the switches but on different ports.


Why is cdp giving me the wrong ip address?

Hi,

Take a closer look at the output of your show cdp nei detail and compare it with the output of your show cdp nei fa1/1 detail, you should be able to see the device ID and check what type of device is claiming to have the ip address of your asa.
Also, I don't think the asa will send cdp to your switch by default.
