Industry Standard Discovery Protocol 
The Industry Standard Discovery Protocol (ISDP) is a proprietary Layer 2 network protocol that inter- operates with Cisco→ devices running the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). ISDP is used to share information between neighboring devices. The switch software participates in the CDP protocol and is able to both discover and be discovered by other CDP-supporting devices.
