Caution:

Although CDP is an excellent source of information to you the network administrator, is it a potential security risk if a hacker gains access to one of your systems. The information that you gain through CDP is also gained by the hacker.

After you have used CDP to gather your information in a production environment, turn it off to thwart any bad people from using it for no good.
