CDP Doesn't Work

Mon Jul 13, 2009 9:06 am

I have never seen a Cisco device in the Mikrotik Neighbors list, however I see Mikrotik devices in Cisco neighbor lists all the time.

Documentation says Mikrotik should list CDP peers as well as Mikrotik.

When will this bug be fixed??

I have some Cisco on my network and they are shown in neighbor list,
/ ip neighbor> print detail 
 0 interface=ether1-in address=1.1.1.1 mac-address=00:02:B9:00:00:00 identity="c2611-r1"

Make sure you have direct Ethernet connection between MikroTik and Cisco and that Neighbor discovery is enabled on both sides. As far as I know, there are not any issues on MikroTik with it.

Same problem too.
I have two routeros (v4.0b3 and v3.25) connected to same switch (Cisco WS-C2924M-XL).
Two routeros can see each other but, can't see the switch. I installed v2.9.7 for test. v2.9.7 can see the switch and other routers.

I see HP equipment with the latest version on the network? Maybe Cisco adding some extra info thats not standard, would not surprise me. Scott

The switch is directly connected to the Mikrotik, running 3.25 x86. The switch has no problem seeing the Mikrotik.

sh cdp nei
Capability Codes: R - Router, T - Trans Bridge, B - Source Route Bridge
S - Switch, H - Host, I - IGMP, r - Repeater, P - Phone

Device ID Local Intrfce Holdtme Capability Platform Port ID
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Router
Gig 0/1 72 R MikroTik
xxxxxx Switch Fas 0/1 168 S I WS-C2950-2Fas 0/24

The switch is another connected to the unit in question.

Mikrotik can not see the unit this printout came from, though obviously the unit can see the Mikrotik. FYI, it is a WS-C2950T Catalyst Switch.

Wouldn't surprise me either, however it is the Cisco discovery protocol... Wouldn't it be part of the CDP standard if Cisco added it, just like the ability to see all neighbors, not just directly connected ones is part of the Mikrotik Discovery Protocol standard because Mikrotik added it?

Maybe the open-source CDP implementation is just incomplete. I will attempt to gather more information with packet captures in the next few days.
