Command History
Usage Guidelines The time between CDP transmissions must be set to a lower number than the CDP holdtime, which is
set using the cdp holdtime command. There is a trade-off between sending more frequent CDP updates
and bandwidth utilization.
Examples The following example sets the CDP timer to 90, meaning that CDP updates are sent every 90 seconds,
which is less frequently than the default of 60 seconds. You may want to make this change if you are
concerned about preserving bandwidth.
