Add Seed Devices and Schedule Discovery
Neighbors of seed devices are discovered by examining the contents of CDP
tables. Before discovery can proceed, you must specify at least one seed device.
Any supported device can function as a seed.
You may want to specify multiple seed devices to:
• Shorten the discovery time.
• Discover “disconnected” networks; that is, discover devices across links on
which CDP is disabled or discover devices outside the firewall.
Note Your login determines whether you can use this option.
Procedure
Step 1 Select Administration > Discover > Discover > Modify Discovery Settings.
Step 2 To delete a seed device, select the IP address from the Seed Values list and click
Delete.
Step 3 To add a seed device, enter its IP address in the Seed Values text box and click >>.
Note Before you can modify the discovery schedule, you must have at least
one seed device in the Seed Values list.
Step 4 Repeat step 3 to add more seed devices.
Step 5 Select the CDP distance from the list. Set CDP distance appropriately to discover
the entire wireless network; a CDP distance of 1 only discovers the immediate
neighbors of the seed devices.
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.
Step 6 To schedule discovery, click Next: Modify Schedule. The Modify Discovery
Schedule dialog box appears.
