CCNA 200-301 Lab | Chapter 2 Network Access | Lab 017 Configure and Verify Cisco Discovery Protocol

Welcome to another CCNA 200-301 lab tutorial! In this video, we’ll cover Chapter 2: Network Access, focusing on how to configure and verify Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP).
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a proprietary network discovery protocol developed by Cisco Systems. It operates at Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI model and is designed to allow Cisco devices to discover and share information with each other
Whether you're studying for your CCNA certification or looking to deepen your understanding of network access technologies, this lab provides invaluable practical experience and insights.

In This Video, You Will Learn:
What Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is and why it’s useful for network discovery and management.
Step-by-step instructions to enable CDP on Cisco switches and routers.
How to configure CDP on interfaces to ensure proper network discovery.
Commands to verify CDP configuration and display information about connected Cisco devices.
Practical tips for using CDP to troubleshoot and manage your network efficiently.
Lab Objective:
To configure the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on Cisco network devices and verify its operation.
The lab will cover enabling and disabling CDP globally and on specific interfaces, and using CDP commands to gather information about neighboring devices.
