Then there are other games with vendor specific components such as cisco's CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) - again often times in an effort to say: "Hey, I'm another switch - get that in your head and let's start talking".This should be turned off. It is nice in practice, useless in the real world for security.
In our setup, multicast won't work unless CDP is enabled. And don't ask why, Cisco doesn't know either. Andreas -- 'Wir leben in der Unterhaltungsbranche. Wuerde sonst jemand ernsthaft ueber "NT" als Server - OS nachdenken ?' -- Hans Bonfigt
