| Debug | -d, –debug | none | Activates debug mode. |
| File | -f, –file | name_of_file | File where the CDP packets will be logged. If this option is not provided, it will default to cdp-log-<date>.00 |
| Help | -h, –help | none | Prints the help message. |
| Interface Address | -i, –iface | iface_addr | Log will be recorded on network interface with the specified IP address. |
| Split Hours | –splithours | number_of_hours | How often, in hours, to split and log to a new file. Value can be entered as decimal. |
| Rotating Files | -r, –rotate | number_of_files | The logger will rotate through the specified number of log files, moving to the next after each split. |

Network Configuration
By default, the CDP logger will log all incoming CDP data on the following network settings:
| IP | 239.255.76.67 |
| port | 7667 |
| interface | 0.0.0.0 |
To change network settings, use the UDP Stream command line option (-u) to set the IP and port, and use the Interface Address command line option (-i) to set the network interface. For example, the following command will set up the CDP logger to log data on IP=239.255.76.66, port=7665, and interface=127.0.0.1 (localhost):
cdp-logger -u 239.255.76.66:7665 -i 127.0.0.1
Note: The CDP Player network configuration is the same as the CDP Logger. The above obtions applies to the CDP Player as well.
Log Playback
Once a log file has been captured using the CDP Logger, the CDP Player can be used to play the log back. The player will emit the logged CDP packets over the selected network settings with the same timing with which the data was logged. The CDP Player can be launched by typing the following into a terminal window:
cdp-player
