Purpose
Bluetooth is a wireless personal area
network (WPAN) protocol that
specifies how devices communicate
over short distances.
BootP enables a network device, such
as Cisco Cius, to discover certain
startup information, such as its IP
address.
CDP is a device-discovery protocol that
runs on all Cisco-manufactured
equipment.
Using CDP, a device can advertise its
existence to other devices and receive
information about other devices in the
network.
CPPDP is a Cisco proprietary protocol
that is used to form a peer-to-peer
hierarchy of devices. This hierarchy
distributes firmware files from peer
devices to their neighboring devices.
DHCP dynamically allocates and
assigns an IP address to network
devices.
DHCP enables you to connect Cisco
Cius into the network and have Cisco
Cius become operational without your
needing to manually assign an IP
address or to configure additional
network parameters.
Supported Networking Protocols
Usage notes
Cisco Cius supports Bluetooth 2.1+EDR.
Cisco Cius supports Hands-Free Profile
(HFP) and Advanced Audio Distribution
(A2DP) Profile.
-
Cisco Cius uses CDP to communicate
information such as auxiliary VLAN ID,
per port power-management details, and
Quality of Service (QoS) configuration
information with the Cisco Catalyst
switch.
The Peer Firmware Sharing feature uses
CPPDP.
DHCP is enabled by default. If DHCP
is disabled, you must manually configure
the IP address, gateway, netmask, and a
TFTP server on Cisco Cius locally.
Cisco recommends that you use DHCP
custom option 150. With this method,
you configure the TFTP server IP
address as the option value. For
additional supported DHCP
configurations, see the following
chapters in the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager System
Guide:
• Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol
• Cisco TFTP
If you cannot use option 150, try using
DHCP option 66.
