Cisco CDP across Apple Airport TimeCapsule & Express 802.11n

I was surprised after upgrading the IOS on the Cisco  router and UC500 to see CDP recognize both devices as neighbors across a wireless link. Here’s my topology:

Cisco Router -> Apple Time Capsule —) ) ) ) ) 802.11n  ( ( ( ( ( ( —Apple Airport Express-> Cisco UC500

Both devices see each other via ‘ show cdp neighbors.’ Now to find what changed. Too cool!

Now, I’m thinking about building a Linux (LAMP) VM to install Nagios, OPenNMS, Cacti, Freeradius and nTop for starters.
