Port: Physical port of the switch.
Mode: Used to select the LLDP mode for each port.
RX Only – The switch will not transmit LLDP frames from this port, but is
able to receive LLDP frames from other devices.
TX Only – Any received LLDP frames will be dropped, but the switch is able
to send LLDP frames.
Disabled – The switch will drop incoming LLDP frames and will not transmit
LLDP information.
Enabled – The switch can send and receive LLDP frames.
CDP Aware: The CDP operation is restricted to decoding incoming CDP frames (The
switch doesn't transmit CDP frames). CDP frames are only decoded if LLDP
on the port is enabled. Only CDP TLVs that can be mapped to a
corresponding field in the LLDP neighbours table are decoded. All other TLVs
are discarded (Unrecognized CDP TLVs and discarded CDP frames are not
shown in the LLDP statistics.). CDP TLVs are mapped onto LLDP neighbours
table.
Both the CDP and LLDP support "system capabilities", but the CDP
capabilities cover capabilities that are not part of the LLDP. These
capabilities are shown as "others" in the LLDP neighbours table. If all ports
have CDP awareness disabled the switch forwards CDP frames received from
neighbour devices. If at least one port has CDP awareness enabled all CDP
frames are terminated by the switch.
Tick the box to enable CDP on each individual port.
Port Descr: Optional TLV: When checked the "port description" is included in LLDP
information transmitted.
Sys Name: Optional TLV: When checked the "system name" is included in LLDP
information transmitted.
