Ruckus ICX - Neighbour Detection using LLDP / CDP / FDP

Purpose

The purpose of this guide is to demonstrate how to detect other switches, access points or any device which uses LLDP/CDP/FDP to share its identity.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) - Vendor agnostic link layer protocol to advertise device capabilities and directly connected neighbours on the network.

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) - Cisco specific link layer protocol to advertise device capabilities and directly connected neighbours on the network.

Foundry Discovery Protocol (FDP) - Foundry/Brocade specific link layer protocol to advertise device capabilities and directly connected neighbours on the network.

Pre-Requisite
