Privilege Level 15 Commands

Usage Guidelines

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a protocol by which one Cisco device can 

recognize, and be recognized by, another Cisco system. The run command starts 

the system sending out signals to the other systems. The timer command sets the 

amount of time, in seconds, that these signals are sent. The holdtime sets the 

amount of time a system will recognize another system without receiving a signal. 

For example, if your system's holdtime is set to 30 seconds, and another system 

that has already been recognized by yours does not send a signal within that 

30 seconds, your system will cease to recognize it. If you are using the no cdp 

command, the timer and holdtime commands set their respective values to the 

default value. 

Example

This command sets the cdp packet's retransmission time at 10 seconds.
