The trade-off with sending more frequent CDP updates to provide up-to-date information is that
bandwidth is used more often.

is, the router odr global configuration command). For more information on the router odr command,
see the "On-Demand Routing Commands" chapter in the Cisco IOS IP Command Reference, Volume 2
of 3: Routing Protocols document.
