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 Port Enable: Ethernet—When selected, the access point sends
CDP packets through its Ethernet port and monitors the Ethernet for CDP
packets from other devices.
• Individual Port Enable: AP Radio—When selected, the access point sends
CDP packets through its radio port and monitors the radio for CDP packets
from other devices.

Assigning Network Ports
Use the Port Assignments page to assign a specific network port to a repeater
access point or to a non-root bridge. When you assign specific ports, your network
topology remains constant even when devices reboot. Figure 5-7 shows the Port
Assignments page.
