4.3.3. Configuring PDP
4.3.3.1. Introduction
PDP is a two-layer protocol specially used to detect network devices. PDP is used in Network Management
Service (NMS) to detect all neighboring devices of an already known device. Using PDP enable you to learn
the SNMP agent address and the types of neighboring devices. After neighboring devices are detected
through PDP, the NMS can require neighboring devices through SNMP to obtain the network topology.
Our switches can detect neighboring devices through PDP, but cannot require neighboring devices through
SNMP. Therefore, these switches have to be located at the verge of networks. Otherwise, the complete
network topology cannot be obtained.
PDP on switches can be configured on all SANPs, such as Ethernet.
