ICX Brocade switch forwarding LLDP packet

[alex_shalima]

Hello,

I'm working a hybrid-vendor network. Here is how it is all connected:

Cisco 4500 -> Brocade 7450 -> Brocade 7250 -> HP 2920 

Situation:
The funny thing is that on the uplink port of the HP switch (port 24) I'm seeing the Cisco 4500 LLDP info. By standard, it shouldn't really be there. It's 2 hops too far to show that data.

My question is: does Brocade implement any sort of LLDP packet forward mechanism? If it does, can it be limited to only 1 switch?

Hi Mitchell and Ben.

Thanks for your replies.

Enabling CDP on both Brocade switches has solved it.

Cheers!
