Using the CDP Driver

Using the CDP Driver
Starting a system on which Cisco CRS is installed enables the CDP driver. You can use CDP to allow
CiscoWorks to discover and manage your Cisco CRS systems.
CiscoWorks uses the CDP cache MIB of the direct neighboring device to discover the Cisco CRS server.
You can use CiscoWorks to query other Cisco CRS-supported MIBs for provisions or statistics.

Accessing CDP Driver Control

You can control the CDP driver using the CISCO-CDP-MIB.
Alter the CDP setting only in special cases. For example, you might restart the CDP driver from the
Warning
Control Panel at run time to pick up the latest IP configuration changes without resetting the system.

Installing the CDP Protocol Driver

The Cisco CRS installation process installs the CDP protocol driver. After completion of a successful
Cisco CRS installation, the CDP protocol driver resides in the list of device drivers under the Windows
