The CDP I/O Filter are basically a VAIO plugin added using a VIB package.

To install the filter on a specific cluster using the Veeam Console just open the Inventory view.

In the inventory pane, navigate to the Virtual Infrastructure > VMware vSphere > vCenter Servers > <vCenter Server Name> > <Cluster Name> node and right-click it. In the menu, select Install I/O filter. For more information see the Veeam documentation.

But sometimes the VIB is not installed automatically, so you can try to install it manually.
