Druid CDP Daemon

Based on code Copyright (C) 2005 by Michael Chapman

Usage: druid_cdpd [-vvlan <voice-vlan-id>] [-ios_version <version-string> ] [ -f ] [ -p ] [ -v <verbosity-level> ]

-vvlan <voice-vlan-id> : Used to set Voice VLAN
-ios_version <version-string>  : Used to set Version String sent out in CDP advertisement
-f : Don't fork
-p : Activate promiscuous mode
-v <verbosity-level> : Set verbosity level

To build (for svn release only):

Included in the svn checkout is the original code for Net::CDP and a patch to
handle voice vlan information.

1) Patch Net::CDP source.

   > cd Net-CDP-0.09
   > patch -p1 < ../perl-Net-CDP-voicevlan.patch

2) Build and install Net::CDP.

   > perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor --no-online-tests
   > make
   > make pure_install
   > make test 

3) Build druid_cdpd.

   > perlcc -B druid_cdpd.pl -o druid_cdpd
   > cp druid_cdpd /usr/sbin/druid_cdpd
   > cp druid_cdpd.rc /etc/init.d/druid_cdpd
   > cp druid_cdpd.sysconfig /etc/sysconfig/druid_cdpd

The above instructions are used for a CentOS 5 based system.

Packagers: We recommend building Net::CDP and druid_cdpd as 2 separate packages.
Use the patch when building Net::CDP.
