Command-line Equivalant for CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol)?

Absolutely love this feature via the GUI in Virtual Center (Configuration\Network) but am wondering if there is a command-line equivalant that ships with ESX 3.x?

Thank you!

The info is available by doing an "esxcfg-info -n |more´". Scroll down to the CDP status section..

I had to use cdp to help troubleshoot a vmserver once I moved it from our Production datacenter over to the secondary. This blog includes cdp information in there.
