EDP is useful when Extreme Networks switches are attached to a port.

The EDP is used to locate neighbor Extreme Networks switches and exchange information about switch configuration. When running on a normal switch port, EDP is used to by the switches to exchange topology information with each other. Information communicated using EDP includes the following:

Switch MAC address (switch ID).
Switch software version information.
Switch IP address.
Switch VLAN information.
Switch port number.
Switch port configuration data: duplex, and speed.

Example
