Hi all
Just wanted to find out if Cisco Discovery protocol can be used to
talk to and identify, detect status up/down from Microsoft Windows
Server machines (say Server 2003).

Thanks in advance

Not without installing some software on the Windows server. But if
you have a handy cannon ready to swat that fly, then see

Any sufficiently old bug becomes a feature.

The CDP protocol is proprietary to Cisco, so it is not normal for any
3rd party to have support for it unless it is specifically written in.
HOWEVER... about a month ago I noticed that one of our new Windows
Servers was appearing in a 3750 switch "sh cdp nei" command, so
perhaps MS are now writing something in there for it.

Yes, it can be use if for example you are running a CCM on it, then
ciscoworks will identify it status.

There is a LINUX CDP stack available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcdpd. I'm fairly certain I've seen a
3rd party Win32 stack also, but haven't been able to easily track it
down.

This isn't the one I was thinking of, but looks like it will do the job
http://www.tallsoft.com/CDPMonitor.htm. The one I've seen previously was
just a CDP stack, without the monitoring. I also think it was
distributed under the GPL. Try Googling perhaps.

McAfee Virusscan sez that this file has a backdoor virus. Do not download.

Nasty - thanks for the post - I'll see if I can track down the one I've
come across before and will come back to the group.
