Extreme Discovery Protocol (EDP) Enabled on Management Port

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