Why don the Switches 5400zl and 3500yl support CDP?
ProCurve Networking Business recommends IEEE standards-based features for device discovery. To this end, the IEEE 802.1ab standard Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is supported. It provides for device discovery for network management platforms and switch neighbor discovery. ยป Return to top Q: Does the (link aggregation) trunking algorithm for the ProCurve 5400zl/3500yl/6200yl Series switches take into account IP addresses when allocating sa/da individual traffic flows to the individual links of a trunk? Yes, ProCurve uses IP addressing in the hashing decisions that determine which link a packet traverses after it is routed on the 6200, 5400, 5300 and the 3500.
