TallSoftCDP Cisco Client is a highly efficient network
monitor and troubleshooting tool for network
administrator and network engineer.
First, CDP Cisco Client is a CDP Client for
windows host. It is able to use the CDP(Cisco
Discovery Protocol) to send host information to
connecting Cisco devices .
CDP Cisco Client (CCC) would produce a CDP Cisco
Client Service (CCCS) in the system after CDP
Cisco Client is installed . Users could start or
stop CDP Cisco Client Service manually through
Service Control Manager .
All CDP data sending/receiving work are finished
by CDP Cisco Client Service in the backgroud. CDP
Cisco Client application is the control program of
CDP Cisco Client Service.
With CDP Cisco Client, Users could send the
information (CPU numbers and models, host name,
login name and the windows version, service pack
version, memory information, Disk information, the
network adapter name, ip address) of windows host
to the connecting Cisco device , and users could
get and display the information of the connecting
Cisco devices, such as device names, device
models, connecting port, administive ip address,
IOS version, VTP Domain Name, and so on. With
these information, one could easily learn the
total topology of whole network and do
troubleshooting. Once the CDP information changed
(such as the link or device failed, or the setup
of Cisco device changed), CDP Cisco Client will
detect and display related info.
So as the Cisco client of windows host, CDP Cisco
Client could monitor your network automatically .
Especially, With CDP Cisco Client, CiscoWorks 2000
Campus Manager could get windows information
through CDP and show the total topology of your
network in graphics mode, including not only the
Cisco network devices, but also PCs and hosts.
Users could use the MACROs in CDP DATA :
