This section provides information for configuring Discovery.

Configuring CDP

As a Bonjour client, the device periodically broadcasts Bonjour Discovery protocol

packets to directly-connected IP subnet(s), advertising its existence and the

services that it provides; for example, HTTP, HTTPs, and Telnet. (Use the Security

> TCP/UDP Services page to enable or disable the device services.) The device

can be discovered by a network management system or other third-party

applications. By default, Bonjour is enabled on the Management VLAN. The

Bonjour console automatically detects the device and displays it.

When the device is in Layer 2 system mode, Bonjour Discovery is enabled

globally; it cannot be enabled on a per-port or per-VLAN basis. The device

advertises all of the services that have been turned on by the administrator based

on the configuration on the Services page.

When Bonjour Discovery and IGMP are both enabled, the IP Multicast address of

Bonjour appears on the Adding IP Multicast Group Address page.
