the Active Connections page (see "Monitoring Active User Connections" on page 15-2
for more information). Default value: 5 minutes.
UI
Time in seconds between refreshing status pages - Time interval at which the BSC
refreshes the Status pages with the latest status data. Default value: 30 seconds.
Access Point
Read-only SNMP community string for all access points - SNMP community string used to
Tracking
access SNMP information on the wireless access points. Default value: public.
Time in minutes between checking access points - Time interval at which the BSC checks
the status of wireless access points. Default value: 0 - access point checking is disabled.
Starting and Ending IP address for checking access points - Limits the APs polled to the
specified IP addresses.
Cisco Discovery
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a media- and protocol-independent protocol
Protocol
(implemented via Layer 2 broadcast) that runs on all Cisco-manufactured equipment
Passthrough
including routers, bridges, access and communication servers, and switches.
Using CDP, you can display information about the Cisco devices directly connected to
that BSC. In addition, CDP detects native VLAN and port duplex mismatches.
Network management applications can retrieve the device type and SNMP-agent
address of directly connected Cisco devices using CDP. This feature enables network
management applications to discover Cisco devices that are neighbors of already known
devices, in particular, neighbors that are running lower-layer, transparent protocols.
CDP runs on all media that support SubNetwork Access Protocol (SNAP). CDP runs over
the data link layer only. Cisco devices never forward CDP packets. When new CDP
information is received, Cisco devices discard old information.
As you may have Cisco equipment installed in your network on both the managed and
protected sides of the BSC, Bluesocket allows you to configure the BSC to pass CDP traffic
through from the managed side to the protected side and from the protected side through
to the managed side.
After configuring CDP passthrough and enabling use of the CDP "show" feature on the
BSC, you can connect to the BSC administrator console and display information about
Cisco devices directly connected to that BSC, as described in "Performing Standard
Network Diagnostic Tests" on page 15-17.
Enable CDP passthrough from managed to protected interface? - If checked, any CDP
packet received on the BSC managed interface (eth1) will be transmitted out the BSC
protected interface (eth0).
Enable CDP passthrough from protected to managed interface? - If checked, any CDP
packets received on the BSC protected interface (eth0) are transmitted out the BSC
managed interface (eth1).
Enable show Cisco CDP Neighbors? - Mark this radio to enable the "show" feature of
Cisco CDP.
After configuring CDP passthrough and enabling use of the CDP "show" feature on the
BSC, you can connect to the BSC administrator console and display information about
Cisco devices directly connected to that BSC, as described in "Performing Standard
Network Diagnostic Tests" on page 15-17.
Diagnostics
Allow remote diagnostics via SSHv2? - If checked, Bluesocket service personnel can
reach the BSC via SSHv2 to perform remote diagnostics. Default value: Enabled.
If cleared, remote access via SSHv2 is disabled.
