Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) Settings
CDP is a layer 2 network protocol used to share information (such as the device
manufacturer and model, network capabilities, and IP address) with other
directly connected network devices. Wireless APs can both advertise their
presence by sending CDP announcements, and gather and display information
sent by neighbors (see “CDP List” on page 112).
This window allows you to establish your CDP settings. When finished, use the
Save button if you wish to make your changes permanent.

Procedure for Configuring CDP Settings
1. Enable CDP: When CDP is enabled, the AP sends out CDP
announcements of the AP’s presence, and gathers CDP data sent by
neighbors. When disabled, it does neither. CDP is disabled by default.
