Settings on the CDP Setup Page
The CDP Setup page contains the following settings:
• Enabled/Disabled—Select Disabled to disable CDP on the access point; select Enabled to enable
CDP on the access point. CDP is enabled by default.
• Packet hold time—The number of seconds other CDP-enabled devices should consider the access
point’s CDP information valid. If other devices do not receive another CDP packet from the access
point before this time elapses they should assume that the access point has gone offline. The default
value is 180. The packet hold time should always be greater than the value in the “Packets sent
every” field.
• Packets sent every—The number of seconds between each CDP packet the access point sends. The
default value is 60. This value should always be less than the packet hold time.
• Individual Interface Enable: Ethernet—When selected, the access point sends CDP packets through
its Ethernet port and monitors the Ethernet for CDP packets from other devices.
