It's off by default. > :) very good. I wasn't being deliberately stupid, just pointing out that one might not know that it's on by default. Why do I need a way to autodiscover my routers? I know where they all are-- I put them in after all. What I'm saying is that CDP is a "negative checkoff" item-- like those little boxes when you download software that say, "check here if you DO NOT wish to receive email when we produce yet another upgrade." If you don't check the box, you will get mail. If you don't turn CDP off, CDP is on. This is nonobvious to those new to the business. -peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
