 When a devices receives a CDP message from a neighbouring device, it adds an entry for that device in its CDP Neighbour table.
-When a devices receives a CDP message from a neighboring device, it adds an entry for that device in its CDP Neighbour table.
 By default, the CDP Holdtime is 180 seconds, so if a neighbour isn't heard from after 180s, it is removed from the CDP Neighbour table.

+Look at the diagram below, this is what we have physically:

+Looking at the table above, we are looking at the perspective of Switch A. Switch A can see two switches (2 neighbours) that are connected to it.
+\\
+\\
+Device ID        Local Intrfce     Holdtme    Capability  Platform  Port ID
+Switch           Gig 0/1           135              S I   WS-C2960- Fas 0/1
+\\
+\\
+Device ID is the name of the Switch.
+\\
+\\
+Local Intrfce is the interface of the switch we are running this command on (So the Switch called Switch is connected to our switch via local interface Gi01)
+\\
+\\
+Holdtme is the 180 second time, if this drips down to zero, that device will be removed from the CDP Neighbour table.
+\\
+\\
+Capability you can reference to this information at the top of the output:
+<file>
+Capability Codes: R - Router, T - Trans Bridge, B - Source Route Bridge
+                  S - Switch, H - Host, I - IGMP, r - Repeater, P - Phone,
+                  D - Remote, C - CVTA, M - Two-port Mac Relay
+</file>
+So Capability S and I means the Switch can be a Switch and use IGMP.
+\\
+\\
+Platform - This is the detected Switch Model (WS-C2960-)
+\\
+\\
+Port ID is the interface of the Neighbour switch that is connected to this switch.
