Yes, that is a very interesting find on CDP.  It would be nice if CDP was
coded to operate in the same way on Cisco devices J

 

As for not seeing the CDP, what do you see when you run show cdp interface
on both sides?

Thanks Jason.. 

Interesting find Brendon. The thing is, currently I cannot get CDP to be
seen over the Dot11Radio interface even though in a debug I can see the
packets been sent.

BR_1#
*Mar  1 21:08:02.526: CDP-PA: version 2 packet sent out on Dot11Radio1
*Mar  1 21:08:13.526: CDP-PA: version 2 packet sent out on
Virtual-Dot11Radio0
*Mar  1 21:08:31.526: CDP-PA: version 2 packet sent out on FastEthernet0
*Mar  1 21:08:37.551: CDP-PA: Packet received from 6504 on interface
FastEthernet0

BR_2#
*Mar  2 02:21:33.947: CDP-PA: Packet received from CAT4 on interface
FastEthernet0.10

Just add one thing.. may be useful..

 

Looked at the user guide to refresh..

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_3g_JA/configurati
on/guide/s43cdp.html

"CDP is sent on the lowest VLAN number configured on the access point. 

When more than one VLAN is used in a wireless network, Cisco recommends that
the lowest VLAN number configured be used as the native VLAN"

 

Cheers,

Brendon

CDP will operate, even if VLAN 1 is not allowed on a trunk interface.  It is
sent as an untagged frame from one device to another, even if the native
VLAN (whatever it is) is not allowed on the trunk.  Try this for a test:

 

1.       Cable a connection between 2 switches

2.       Configure another VLAN (say 10) on those switches

3.       Configure the switchport on each of those switches used to connect
to each other as a trunk port, with the VLAN from #2 as native

4.       Only allow another VLAN which has not been configured on the switch
(say VLAN 999) to pass between the switches

 

The switches will still see one another as CDP neighbors.  You can verify
the CDP packets are passing with the debug cdp packets command.  It won't
matter what VLAN is set as native or allowed.

Is anyone leaving vlan 1 on WLC trunks for CDP to operate ?

Cheers,
