cdp timer
To specify how often the Cisco IOS software sends Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) updates, use the
cdp timer command in global configuration mode. To revert to the default setting, use the no form of
this command.
Syntax Description
seconds
Defaults
80 seconds
Command Modes
Global Configuration (config) mode.
Usage Guidelines
Platform Availability:
Cisco SFS 3001, Cisco SFS 7000, Cisco SFS 7008, Cisco SFS 3012, Cisco 4x InfiniBand Switch Module
for IBM BladeCenter
Privilege Level:
Unrestricted and general read-write user.
The trade-off with sending more frequent CDP updates to provide up-to-date information is that
bandwidth is used more often.
Note
The cdp timer, and cdp run commands affect the operation of the IP on demand routing feature (that
is, the router odr global configuration command). For more information on the router odr command,
see the "On-Demand Routing Commands" chapter in the Cisco IOS IP Command Reference, Volume 2
of 3: Routing Protocols document.
