Hi!

I need to create a tunnel for the CDP protocol, because our service provider does not let cdp thru their network, Ive been looking fro this but haven´t been able to find anything!

Tha scene are:

Cisco 3640 version c3640-is-mz.122-5.bin Fast eth in one end!

The other end:

Cat 4006 IOS layer 3 switch version:cat4000-is-mz.121-8a.EW1.bin.

If someone can help I would be very happy.

Thanks in advance!

CDP sends packets on LANs using the multicast address 0100.0CCC.CCCC. CDP also runs over the data link layer only, not the network layer (It consists of a header, followed by a set of variable-length fields consisting of type/length/value triplets), so you would have to create a GRE tunnel and bridge between them (if possible).

Hope that helps.
