Short description

in addition to lldp, it would be nice to have cdp.

Expected Behavior

my problem is that vmware swap device id and port id with lldp. with cdp the correct anwser is comming for device id and port id.

lldp: Port Device ID Port ID System Name Capabilities TTL

gi1/0/24 20:3a:07:XX:XX:XX gi10 switch B 112 te1/0/1 vmnic2 0c:c4:7a:XX:XX:XX esxi B 150

cdp: Device ID Local Adv Time To Capability Platform Port ID Interface Ver. Live

esxi gi1/0/10 2 129 S VMware ESXi vmnic1 203a07XXXXXX gi1/0/24 2 161 S I Cisco gi10

Hi, unfortunatelly get_cdp_neighbours is not suported in NAPALM ( https://napalm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/base.html ) Probable reason is that CDP is proprietary protocol. LLDP is IEEE standard 802.1AB . We will not implement functions out of NAPALM standard before all of NAPALM functions are completed.

To get CDP information you can use function 'cli' - currently work in progress.
