we have connected a stack of fortiswitch 448D's to an existing Cisco network environment but when I run "show cdp neighbor" on the cisco equipment we do not see the fortiswitch's. The 448D's are currently in unmanaged mode (not suing fortilink). Do I just need to enable lldp? Is lldp not enabled by default?

Thanks,

Hi @nflnetwork29

LLDP is enabled by default but not CDP.. You need to enable CDP and this requires LLDP to be running...

config switch physical-port

edit port <port>

set cdp-status disable | rx-only | tx-only | tx-rx

next

end

So does this have to be done on a per-port basis?

How would I enable this globally on the switch?

Appreciate your help thank you

Hi @nflnetwork29

Yes i think this is only per port basis.
