Discovering Devices
b.
Set the CDP distance. If the distance is set to 1, only the immediate neighbors
of the seed devices are discovered. Set the distance appropriately to discover
the entire wireless network.
Note
Routers and switches that do not have access points attached to them
are used when computing CDP distance. However, such devices will
not appear in the discovered devices list.

Import Devices
After you import devices, a one-time discovery job starts immediately. All of the
WLSE-supported devices in the file or found on the CiscoWorks server are used
as seed devices with a CDP distance of 1. After importing devices, ensure that
they are managed.
Note
If CDP is not enabled and you import devices, only the imported access points and
wireless bridges will be discovered. Routers and switches will not be discovered.
Import Devices from a File
Devices can be imported from a comma-separated values (CSV) file. You can
create the file by exporting devices from CiscoWorks RME or by creating a file
with a text editor. After you import the file, a one-time discovery begins
immediately.
