Configuring the CDP Characteristics
You can configure the CDP holdtime (the number of seconds before the access
point discards CDP packets) and the CDP timer (the number of seconds
between each CDP packets the access point sends).
Beginning in Privileged Exec mode, follow these steps to configure the CDP
holdtime and CDP timer.
1. Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
2. (Optional) Specify the amount of time you want a receiving device to hold
the information sent by the device before discarding it.
The range is from 10...255 s; the default is 180 s.
cdp holdtime seconds
3. (Optional) Set the transmission frequency of CDP updates in seconds.
The range is from 5...254 s; the default is 60 s.
cdp timer seconds
4. Return to Privileged Exec mode.
