Using Cisco Discovery Protocol
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a device-discovery protocol that runs on all
Cisco network equipment. Each device sends identifying messages to a multicast
address, and each device monitors the messages sent by other devices.
Information in CDP packets is used in network management software such as
CiscoWorks2000.
Use the CDP Setup page to adjust the access point’s CDP settings. CDP is enabled
by default. Figure 9-6 shows the CDP Setup page.
