That's wrong:
cisco-switch(config)#cdp ? advertise-v2 CDP sends version-2 advertisements holdtime Specify the holdtime (in sec) to be sent in packets timer Specify the rate at which CDP packets are sent (in sec) run
it can be enabled/disables on a per interface base.
There are also some different output possibilitites on cisco: sh cdp and: sh cdp run sh cdp timer sh cdp traffic and (no the interesting parts within here): sh cdp neigh <detail> sh cdp entry <*> <WORD> sh cdp interface ..

portability ? linux is not the only OS in world. Think about running on *BSD, Solaris, AIX, HPUX, ...
