    Shawn Jackman (Jack) CWNE#54 is a personal friend and has been a mentor to me for many years.  I've had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Jack for 4 years. Jack is a great teacher who takes complex 802.11 standards and breaks them down so almost anyone can understand the concept at hand. I'm excited for you brother. Great job and job well done! Put another notch in the belt!

WLC - Did you know the Cisco WiSM doesn't support CDP!?

 

 

Did you know that the Cisco WiSM doesnt support CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol)? Odd, isn't, but it doesn't.

CDP is not supported on the controllers that are integrated into Cisco switches and routers, including those in the Catalyst 3750G Integrated Wireless LAN Controller Switch, the Cisco WiSM, and the Cisco 28/37/38xx Series Integrated Services Router. However, you can use the show ap cdp neighbors detail {Cisco_AP | all} command on these controllers in order to see the list of CDP neighbors for the access points that are connected to the controller. - (Cisco 6.0 Config Guide)

What this means is that if you do a CDP on the CAT that houses the WiSM you won't see the WISMs as
a neighbor. Here is an example of a CAT with WiSMs and the CDP command is entered: 

6509#show cdp neighbors

Device ID        Local Intrfce     Holdtme    Capability  Platform  Port ID

6509LAB1

                 Gig 1/1            166         R S I     6504LAB  Gig 1/1

6509LAB2

                 Gig 1/2            150         R S I     6504LAB  Gig 1/2  

 

How you can see the WiSMs is with the show module command. See below:

6509#show module

Mod Ports Card Type                              Model              Serial No.
