Assign Swtich Port Descriptions based on CDP, LLDP, or some type of Hostname Information

[mikeobi666]

Hey guys,

I was wondering, is there a way to automatically change/assign the port Descriptions on my Cisco switches based upon information pulled from CDP or LLDP, or some type of hostname, that will go out, pull what device is plugged into that port, and insert description information about that device into the Port Description for that particular port that the device is plugged into?

Thank you for your help!

Good question!

You can do this with an eem applet policy.

below is a link that discusses it.
