The Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)

CDP uses the polling interval configured for each individual Cisco switch or router on the Groups > List page. AirWave

requires read-only access to a router or switch for all subnets that contain wired or wireless devices. The polling interval

is specified on the Groups > Basic page.

Authorizing Devices to AirWave from APs/Devices > New Page

Once you have discovered devices on your network, add these devices to a group and specify whether the device is to

be placed in Manage Read/Write or Monitor Only mode. To configure a new group, refer to "Configuring and Using

Device Groups" on page 78.

In Manage Read/Write mode, AirWave compares the device’s current configuration settings with the Group

configuration settings and automatically updates the device’s configuration to match the Group policy.

In Monitor Only mode, AirWave updates the firmware, compares the current configuration with the policy, and displays

any discrepancies on the APs/Devices > Audit page, but does not change the configuration of the device.

Put devices in Monitor Only mode when they are added to a newly established device group. This avoids overwriting any

important existing configuration settings.

Once you have added several devices to the Group, and verified that no unexpected or undesired configuration changes

will be made to the devices, you can begin to put the devices in Manage Read/Write mode using the APs/Devices >

Manage or the Modify these devices link on any list page.

Perform the following steps to add a newly discovered device to a group:

1. Browse to the APs/Devices > New page. The APs/Devices > New page displays all newly discovered devices, the

related controller (when known/applicable) and the device vendor, model, LAN MAC Address, IP Address, and the

date/time of discovery.

2. Select the group and folder to which the device will be added from the drop-down menu (the default group appears

at the top of the Group listing). Devices cannot be added to a Global Group; groups designated as Global Groups

cannot contain access points.

3. Select either the Monitor Only or the Manage Read/Write radio button and select Add.

At this point, you can go to the APs/Devices > List page and select the folder(s) to which you have assigned one or

more devices to verify that your device has been properly assigned. If you want to assign a device to the Ignored

page or delete it entirely from AirWave, go to step 4 on page 129.

Ifyou select Manage Select Devices, AirWave automatically overwrites existing device settings with the specified group

settings. Placing newly discovered devices in Monitor mode is strongly recommended until you can confirm that all group

configuration settings are appropriate for that device.

4. If you do not want to manage or monitor a discovered device, you may select the device(s) from the list and select

either Ignore or Delete. If you choose to Ignore the devices, they will not be displayed in the APs/Devices > New

list, even if they are discovered in subsequent scans. You can view a list of all Ignored devices on the APs/Devices >

Ignored page. If you choose to Delete the device, it will be listed on the APs/Devices > New list if discovered by

AirWave in a subsequent scan. Refer to "Assigning Devices to the Ignored Page" on page 134.

Manually Adding Individual Devices

Some deployment situations may require that you manually add devices to AirWave. You can add devices manually by

uploading a CSV file, or from the Device Setup > Add page.

This section describes the following procedures:
