Unfortunately, PIX doesn't support CDP, not even in the latest 7.1 series. &nbsp;BTW, PIX 501 can't be upgraded to the 7.x series (only PIX 515 or higher models support 7.x).<br />
<br />

So since there is no way that I can enable CDP on a PIX is there anything else that I can enable on the PIX which acts like CDP?<br />

HOW TO ENABLE CDP ON PIX

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
