Bug Description

cdpd is a simple program designed to send CDP ('Cisco Discovery Protocol', a Cisco propiertary protocol) and/or LLDP ('Link Layer Discovery protocol, 802.1AB) packets to network.

By running cdpd you can easily confirm which Ubuntu hosts network interfaces (e.g. eth0) are plugged into which switch ports (e.g. Fas 2/12) when using the switch command(s) to display CDP/LLDP neighbors/peers.
