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.
