the connective Cisco device with CDP, and you can get
and display the information from the connective Cisco
device, such as device name, device model, port which

version, and so on. With these information, you can
easily know the total topology of your network and you
can easily do troubleshooting. Once the CDP
information changed (maybe the link or device failed,
