Configuring LLDP
Configuring LLDP is a two-step process:
1. Enabling LLDP.
2. Advertising TLVs.
Related Configuration Tasks
• Viewing the LLDP Configuration
• Viewing Information Advertised by Adjacent LLDP Agents
• Configuring LLDPDU Intervals
• Configuring Transmit and Receive Mode
• Configuring a Time to Live
• Debugging LLDP
Important Points to Remember
• LLDP is disabled by default.
• Dell Force10 systems support up to 8 neighbors per interface.
• Dell Force10 systems support a maximum of 8000 total neighbors per system. If the number of
interfaces multiplied by 8 exceeds the maximum, the system will not configure more than 8000.
• INTERFACE level configurations override all CONFIGURATION level configurations.
• LLDP is not hitless.
LLDP Compatibility
• Spanning Tree and Force10 Ring Protocol “blocked” ports allow LLDPDUs.
• 802.1X controlled ports do not allow LLDPDUs until the connected device is authenticated.
