HP uses commercially available silicon (Broadcom), and OEM from Accton,
Foundry, and Riverstone (acquired by Alcatel-Lucent) and some were
internally engineered depending on the specific product.
Here's a partial list:
25xx-LSI / HP
26xx-Broadcom
28xx-Broadcom
34xx-Broadcom
61xx- Accton
64xx- Accton
62xx-ProCurve
35xx-ProCurve
54xx-ProCurve
53xx-ProCurve
42xx-ProCurve
41xx-Broadcom
9408-Foundry
93xx-Foundry
81xx-Riverstone
Of course, for HP information, I would always recommend talking to an HP
representative. I just wanted to state for the record they are not
OEM'd Cisco switches.
In the data center, with blade switches and MDS's, HP does act as an OSM
and resells some of Cisco's products:

Some higher models are OEM from Foundry and some from lesser companies.
I worked at HP a couple of years back and internally, they are all Cisco
except for Foundry Server Irons as load balancers. That may have
changed in the last couple of years, but they used to be primarily Cisco
internally.
HP switches run the generic LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) that's
an RFC generic form of CDP, but they also will run CDP version 1 and 2.
I have had mixed results actually getting them to see one another
properly, however.

HP switches are OEM from Cisco.
Thanks,

Check out the output below. I know that Cisco CDP is proprietary, so I
am trying to find out how this is happening.
Did Cisco licence CDP to HP for this model switch?
