Configuring Control Packet Forwarding
You can use the Control Packet Forwarding page to configure how the switch
handles packets of the following protocol types:
• CDP—The Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), which is supported on many
types of Cisco networking equipment. CDP enables directly connected
devices to share information such as their IP addresses, capabilities, and
software versions. Although the switch does not itself support CDP, it can
forward CDP packets on behalf of connected devices within a VLAN.
• Dot1X—The IEEE 802.1X protocol defines how Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) packets are encapsulated over a LAN. Dot1X provides a way
to authenticate users and allow or deny them access to services made
available by switch ports. See 802.1X for information on configuring the
Dot1X feature on the switch.
