Securing Discovery on Edge Ports
Harden Cisco IOS edge interfaces by disabling CDP/LLDP toward untrusted endpoints while keeping discovery active on trusted infrastructure links. Routers share a management LAN with a server and form a direct router-to-router adjacency for CDP/LLDP. The learner enables discovery globally, selectively suppresses it on the client-facing edge, and verifies the outcome with show commands.
