Thanks for the responses. I have been working w/cisco's TAC and they to were questioning CDP as well. I had it turned off on the 3550 A the one in question. I did reenable cdp and still no further response. For some reason the last four GBIC slots will not negotiate proper duplex or speed. I can't say for sure this is the problem but I would have to thing it's defiantly not helping me.
I will keep you posted if I hear any more from TAC.
