Configuration Processes and the Configuration File 47
The commands provide information about both the neighbors and the behavior of the CDP
protocol itself. In the show cdp entry fred command in Example 2-4, all the details learned by
CDP are shown and highlighted. To know that fred is the device identifier of a neighbor, the
show cdp neighbor command can be used to summarize the information about each neighbor.
Show cdp neighbor detail lists the detail of all neighbors, in the same format as show cdp
entry
. In addition, show cdp traffic lists the overhead that CDP introduces to perform its
functions.
