From those of you who have experience running CDP, is it worth running? Does it give you enough benefit for the extra traffic it puts out on the network? Thanks in advance for your input.
In a strictly Cisco environment , the answer is yes . On a large network it is a lifesaver being able to determine what is on the other end and the added traffic is not that much . On user access switches I don't think it needs to be on for every port only use it on links to other networking gear .
thanks for the info... i will turn on cdp for all my devices except for my 2691 that is in front of my firewall and any switch ports that don't directly connect to another cisco device... sound right?
