Gets the CDP information from a Windows computer with PowerShell.

Get-CDPInfo.ps1

<# 
.SYNOPSIS
Gets the CDP information from a computer.

.DESCRIPTION
Attempts to get the CDP information from a computer.  It automatically downloads tcpdump.exe if it's not already on a computer.

.PARAMETER DeviceNumber
Alias: dn

The device number available in tcpdump to listen on.  If not specified, it will list the available devices from tcpdump.

.PARAMETER ComputerName
Alias: cn

Specifies the computer to run on.  If not specified, will run on the local computer.

.EXAMPLE
    Get-CDPInfo.ps1 -ComputerName remotecomputername
    Please select a device number:
    1.\Device\PssdkLoopback (PSSDK Loopback Ethernet Emulation Adapter)
    2.\Device\NdisWanBh (WAN Miniport (Network Monitor))
    3.\Device\{F03D74ED-4868-4396-8F40-7CBC6E794F24} (DW1530 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card)
    4.\Device\{33BD9CF9-E3BB-40C6-82C0-50BBA92CEF57} (Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection)
    NotSpecified: (:String) [], RemoteException
        + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:String) [], RemoteException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

.NOTES
Author: Rene Horn, [email protected]
Version: 0.3
Known issue:
    - Does no parsing of CDP information.  Just outputs it as it gets it from tcpdump.
    - Does not check if the device number specified is valid for tcpdump (although tcpdump should just error out anyway).
