Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE

Setting Up Device Management

Step 2 To set up IP filters, select Devices > Discover > DISCOVER > IP Filter Rules and follow the instructions in the online help or the User Guide for the Wireless LAN Solution Engine. IP filters allow you to limit discovery to certain devices.

Discovering Devices

Use the procedures in this section to discover devices by using CDP or device import:

•Use the discovery wizard to run a CDP discovery—See Run CDP Discovery, page 4-30.

Note If you prefer not to use CDP, use the wizard, but enter all of your devices as seeds as indicated in the procedure.

•Import devices from a file or from a CiscoWorks server—See Import Devices, page 4-33.

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 4-31.

•Modify the default CDP discovery schedule by scheduling a one-time job or repeated jobs—See Modify the CDP Discovery Schedule, page 4-32.
