Fixing Prime LMS 4.2 Best Practices Deviations

[davemiddlewick]

Quick question:-

Is there a way of running a fix for a large number of devices in one go or do I have to fix one line at a time?

I need to fix around 400 devices to turn CDP off on access ports.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Use the Netconfig Option: create a Job for all 400 devices and you should be good.

check the below link:

Thanks Afroz

Don't think NetConfig will do it (unless I'm missing something), the configuration changes will differ depending on the device, so there will be a large number of different jobs.  Anybody got any other ideas?

I resist the "disable CDP on access ports" recommendations as I don't agree with it. For one, It's useful and necessary for any Cisco VOIP deployment. It also is useful to see if someone has plugged in a Cisco switch or plugged one port into another port (I have seen both) in which case it can be used in troubleshooting.

I even have taken to turning on LLDP - especially for customers with Avaya VOIP since Avaya phones announce themselves via LLDP (and it's pretty easy to make servers do so as well).
