Viewing CDP Statistics
The CDP Statistics page displays information regarding Cisco Discovery Protocol 
(CDP) frames that were sent or received from a port. CDP packets are received 
from devices attached to the switches interfaces, and are used for the Smartport 
feature. See Configuring CDP for more information.
CDP statistics for a port are only displayed if CDP is enabled globally and on the 
port. This is done in the CDP Properties page and the CDP Interface Settings 
page.
