Nexus 5596UP repeating CDP "device discovered of type Nexus 1010"

[sokarlsson]

We have had this since we installed the Nexus 1010s but I want to get some help to clarify why.

We have 2 Nexus 1010 in HA. One is connected to a Nexus 5596UP vPC pair in one DC. The other connected to a second Nexus 5596UP vPC pair in the other DC. All 4 5596UP run 5.0(3)N1(1). Nexus 1010 run 4.2(1)SP1(3)

We see this message frequently in the logs of the Nexus 5596 switches

I do not see the message at the same time in both switches of a vPC pair.

Do you have management IP configured for Nexus 1010 ?? Alternatively you can launch kvm and turn off cdp on nexus 1010 using "no cdp enable" configuration command till you configure management IP on it.

I have the same issue , even if the management IP is configured.

We were asked to change the CDP timer in Nexus 1010 to 120 secs to resolve this issue. I have still not tried it.. May be you can try it if your setup is still not in production..
