CDP

CDP distance

Cisco Discovery Protocol. Media- and protocol-independent device-discovery protocol that runs on all Cisco-manufactured equipment, including routers, access servers, bridges, and switches. Using Cisco Discovery Protocol, a device can advertise its existence to other devices and receive information about other devices on the same LAN or on the remote side of a WAN. Runs on all media that support SNAP, including LANs, Frame Relay, and ATM media.

The CDP distance determines the depth of the discovery and applies to all seed devices. If CDP distance is 1, only the immediate neighbors of the seed device are discovered. If CDP distance is 2, devices A and B that are directly connected to the seed devices are discovered and the immediate neighbors of A and B are also discovered.

CLI

The command line interface for administering the WLSE. You use the CLI

 

through a console attached to the WLSE’s console port or by opening a Telnet

 

connection to the WLSE. CLI commands are described in the User Guide for the

 

CiscoWorks 1105 Wireless LAN Solution Engine—from the online help, click

 

PDF.

community strings Text strings that act as passwords to authenticate communication with devices

 

that contain an SNMP agent.

CoS

Class or Service. An indication of how an upper-layer protocol requires a

 

lower-layer protocol to treat its messages.
