C
CDP Cisco Discovery Protocol. Media- and protocol-independent device-discovery
protocol that runs on all Cisco-manufactured equipment, incl udi ng rou ters,
access servers, bridges, and switches. Using Cisco Discovery Protocol, a device
can advertise its existence to other devices and receive information about oth er
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.
CDP distance 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 s ee d 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 ar e
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

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.
CSR Certificate Signed Request. Request sent to a certificate authority for using
HTTPS.
D
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Provides a mechanism for allocating IP
addresses dynamically so that addresses can be reused when hosts no longer
need them.
