CDP across wireless bridge

JASON SIMMONS

Is there anything special I need to do to get cdp to work across a 1300 wireless bridge?

 

I've enabled cdp on the radio interface. 

I can access the GUI and see the connected device.

 

I'm asking because I'm testing a topology mapping software and I'd like it to show the connections between bridges.

check link below for configuring CDP :

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/bridge/1400/12-3_8_JA/configuration/guide/sc1238ja/p38cdp.html

 

but its clearly mentioned that its not recommended to enable CDP on Radios interfaces  for better wireless performance .

there are alot of other useful commands that you can use to check the assoicated bridge on the AP like show dot11 association all-clients .

check this link for CDP configuration on Cisco routers

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a device-discovery protocol that runs on all Cisco network equipment. Each device sends identifying messages to a multicast address, and each device monitors the messages sent by other devices. Information in CDP packets is used in network management software such as CiscoWorks2000.

CDP is enabled on the access points' Ethernet port by default. However, CDP is enabled on the access points' radio port only when the radio is associated to another wireless infrastructure device, such as an access point or a bridge.
