CDP Interoperability Through ISDP
Industry Standard Discovery Protocol (ISDP) allows the Dell EMC
Networking N-Series switch to interoperate with Cisco devices running the
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). ISDP is a proprietary layer-2 network
protocol which inter-operates with Cisco network equipment and is used to
share information between neighboring devices (routers, bridges, access
servers, and switches).
For information about configuring ISDP settings, see "Discovering Network
Devices" on page 883.
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
RMON is a standard Management Information Base (MIB) that defines
current and historical MAC-layer statistics and control objects, allowing real-
time information to be captured across the entire network.
For information about configuring managing RMON settings, see
"Monitoring Switch Traffic" on page 565.
N3000 Series Advanced and Advanced-Lite Firmware Images
There are two N3000/N3100 mixed stacking switch firmware images available.
The N3xxx Advanced stacking image supports stacking up to 12 units and
supports stacking with the following models: N3132P-ON, N3048EP-ON. The
filename for this image is N3000N3100Advv6.5.1.x.itb. The N3xxx Advanced-
Lite stacking image supports stacking up to eight units and supports stacking
for the following models: N3132P-ON, N3048EP-ON, N3048, N3048P,
N3024, N3024P, and N3024F and is named N3000N3100AdvLitev6.5.1.X.itb.
The Advanced-Lite firmware supports 1024 VLANs in the range 1-4093 and
does not support MMRP/MVRP.
Which image type is installed can be determined by examining the first few
lines of the running-config. The following example shows an Advanced
version firmware.
