set cdp auth
Use this command to set a global CDP authentication code. This value determines a device’s CDP
domain. If two or more devices have the same CDP authentication code, they will be entered into
each other's CDP neighbor tables. If they have different authentication codes, they are in different
domains and will not be entered into each other’s CDP neighbor tables.
A device with the default authentication code (16 null characters) will recognize all devices, no
matter what their authentication code, and enter them into its CDP neighbor table.
