Hi all,

I've been experimenting with the CDP/ODR timers and have come across something that is confusing me somewhat.

Now I know that when using ODR, the actual IP route info is carried in CDP advertisements. Therefore, you can't really send ODR advertisements independent of CDP advertisements. So here's what I am confused about: when I set the ODR update interval using the 'timers basic' command, the update-interval seems to be totally ignored; the CDP advertisements are still sent at the rate configured using 'cdp timer'. So what, then,is the purpose of the 'update' parameter of the 'timers basic' command ?

Wouldn't it be more intuitive to set the CDP advertisement interval to be the min(CDP-timer-interval, ODR-update-interval) ?

All responses appreciated.

Regards,
Paresh./
