Configuring LLDP
LLDP is best configured and managed with SNMP, however you can also use
the command line interface (CLI). This section contains an example of a basic
LLDP configuration using the CLI.
Enabling and disabling LLDP
By default, LLDP is disabled. To enable LLDP on a port, list of ports, or all
ports, use the command:
enable lldp port={all|port-list} [{tx|rx|txrx}]
To disable LLDP on a port, list of ports, or all ports, use the command:
disable lldp port={all|port-list} [{tx|rx|txrx}]
By default, when you enable a port for LLDP, both LLDP transmission and
reception are enabled. To enable either LLDP transmission or reception only on
the chosen ports, specify either tx or rx.
Enabling and disabling LLDP TLVs
When LLDP is enabled on a port, the LLDP agent advertises all TLVs by
default. However, you can separately enable or disable each optional TLV on
the port, using the following commands:
For more information about TLVs, see “Type Length Values” on page 3.
LLDP notifications
To enable LLDP notifications, use the command:
enable lldp notifications [other-options]
To disable LLDP notifications, use the command:
disable lldp notifications [other-options]
To set the amount of time between LLDP notifications, use the command:
set lldp notification interval [other-options]
Purging and re-setting LLDP
To clear your existing LLDP configuration information and all remote LLDP
MIB data, use the command:
purge lldp [other-options]
