You can set a System Description that overrides the default system description sent by the network discovery protocol daemon. The default description is the kernel name, the node name, the kernel version, the build date and the architecture.

A value can be entered in the CDP Platform Override to override the CDP platform name. The default name is the kernel name (Linux).
