Chapter 6 Setting Up Discovery and Device Management—CiscoWorks 1105/1130/1130-19

Discovering Devices

Import devices from a file or from a CiscoWorks server—SeeImport Devices, page 6-11.

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 5, “Setting Up Devices—CiscoWorks1105/1130/1130-19.”

Run CDP Discovery

Before 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 Run CDP Discovery Now, page 6-8.

Modify the default CDP discovery schedule by scheduling a one-time job or repeated jobs—See Modify the CDP Discovery Schedule, page 6-10.
