• Enable CDP either globally on the LRE switch or on the specific LRE ports.
• The switch 10/100 port defaults are not the same as the defaults for the 
Ethernet link on the LRE ports.
Note We recommend that you use the lre shutdown interface configuration 
command to disable the LRE chipset transmitter on any LRE ports that are not 
connected to a CPE. This prevents access to the LRE port and prevents the 
power emitted from the port from affecting other ports.
Use the show controllers ethernet-controller privileged EXEC command to 
display the internal switch statistics, the statistics collected by the switch LRE 
chipset, and the statistics collected by the CPE LRE chipset. For information 
about this command, refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 
Series XL Command Reference.
