Discovering Devices

Modify the CDP Discovery Schedule

To modify the default discovery schedule, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Select Devices > Discover > Discover > Discovery Wizard.

Step 2 Select Automatic Device Discovery based on Cisco Discovery Protocol, and click Next.

Step 3 Select Modify Periodic and click Next.

Step 4 To modify the schedule:

a.Select the Start Date and Start Time from the pull-down lists.

b.To repeat discovery at a specified interval, select Enable. Then enter a number for the interval and select Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks or Months from the pull-down list.

c.Click Next.

Step 5 If you already added community strings, click Next.

If you have not added community strings, you must add them now. For details on adding community strings, see Enter SNMP Community Strings for All Managed Devices, page 6-2. After adding community strings, click Next.

Step 6 Add one or more initiating IP addresses (seeds):

Note If CDP is not enabled, you still can discover devices by entering each of their IP addresses as seeds in this window, 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.

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.
