What kind of protocol is used in showing non Meraki products in Topology

Our customer wants to know what protocoll is being used in showing non Meraki products in topology. 

 

The question was if we are using CLLP Protocol (not sure if I am right) or SNMP. He meant here that CLLP shows basic details of the on Meraki product in topology whereas SNMP shows more detail of the product in the topology.

I would presume you mean CDP and LLDP.  LLDP will be the one used for non Meraki/Cisco devices

I'm not an employee of Cisco/Meraki. My posts are based on Meraki best practice and what has worked for me in the field.

As stated above, CDP is a Cisco proprietary protocol while LLDP is an open standard. LLDP is what is used to read information about connected non Meraki/Cisco devices.

 

SNMP is not used for collecting this information.
