Discovering Devices
Use the procedures in this section to discover devices by using CDP or device
import:
•
Use the discovery wizard to run a CDP discovery—See
Note
If you prefer not to use CDP, use the wizard and enter all of your
devices as seeds, as indicated in
import devices.
•
Import devices from a file or from a CiscoWorks server—See
Note
If WDS is configured on the subnet, CDP discovery proceeds automatically via
WLCCP for the infrastructure access points. The access points must be properly
configured. All access points will be used as seeds. The WDS must also be
configured and in the managed state. For device configuration information, see
Chapter 4, “Setting Up Devices—Overview.”
Run CDP Discovery
Before CDP discovery can proceed, you must specify at least one initiating IP
address (seed device), from which other devices can be discovered. Neighbors of
the seed device are discovered according to the CDP distance that you specify.
The seed device and discovered devices must be CDP-enabled.
Note
By default, the WLSE runs a CDP discovery every 24 hours.
Use the procedures in this section to run an immediate or scheduled discovery:
•
Run an immediate, one-time CDP discovery—See
•
Modify the default CDP discovery schedule—See
