NDP is used for discovering the information of the directly connected neighbors,
including the device type, software/hardware version, and connecting port of the
adjacent devices. It can also provide the information concerning devic
address, device capability and hardware platform, etc.
All the devices supporting NDP maintain the NDP information table. The table entry will
be removed by NDP automatically when the aging timer expires. You can also clear the
current NDP information to collect new adjacent informa
The device running NDP broadcasts the packets carrying NDP data to all the activated
ports regularly. The packet carries the holdtime, indicating how long the receiving
device has to keep the updating data. The receiver only keep
NDP packet, but not forwards it. The corresponding data entry in the NDP table will be
updated with the arriving information. If the new information is same as the old one,
only the holdtime will be updated.
