Should EDP be turned off on ports that are connected to access points?

EDP is enabled by default. ELRP is not. There is no problem having both enabled on the same port. I run both together in our lab's management infrastructure both to help identify connections and to stop loops.

Hi Darrin,

you can choose the ports to run ELRP on when configuring it:
configure elrp-client periodic VLAN_NAME ports PORTS interval SECONDSErik

Thank you. Is there a way to disable ELRP on individual ports?

Hi Darrin,
Have a look at these two links. I think they'll help answer your question.

https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/How_To/How-to-configure-ELRP-to-disable-ports (particularly the port exclusion piece)

Hi Darrin,

Wireshark uses the EDP&ELRP for ELRP frames well as for EDP frames. You are probably seeing ELRP frames.

You should disable ELRP from uplink ports of the access switches. The distribution or core switches can use ELRP on the downlinks. Otherwise you are needlessly flooding your network with ERLP frames.
