In PBR deployments with multiple in-path interfaces, this command enables Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) packets to be sent to the other routers when one of the routers goes down.

None

With PBR, CDP is used by the SteelHead to notify the router that the SteelHead is still alive and that the router can still redirect packets to it.

In some cases, the you might want to disable this command so that if one router goes down, the SteelHead stops sending CDP packets to all the routers it is attached to and connections are redirected and optimized by another SteelHead.

This can be useful when the routers are configured to redirect to a SteelHead when all routers are up but to another SteelHead when one router goes down.

For details about how to configure a SteelHead for PBR with CDP, see the SteelHead Deployment Guide.

The no command option disables CDP.
