Add one or more initiating IP addresses (seeds) to be used for this one-time

Note
If CDP is not enabled, you still can discover devices by entering each of
their IP addresses as seeds. In that case, however, the connectivity
between switches and access points will not be discovered.
a.
Enter the IP addresses or device names in the Add Seed Values text box and
click
>>
.
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. Set the distance to 1 if you are adding all devices
as seeds.
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.
