Configure the power via MDI TLV to advertise the PoE capabilities of the LLDP-enabled port.
To advertise the PoE capabilities and status, use the following command:
configure lldp ports [all | <port_list>] [advertise | no-advertise]
vendor-specific dot3 power-via-mdi
You advertise the load-sharing capabilities and status of the LLDP-enabled port by
configuring the link aggregation TLV. To advertise load-sharing capabilities, use the following
command:
configure lldp ports [all | <port_list>] [advertise | no-advertise]
vendor-specific dot3 link-aggregation
You advertise the maximum frame size available on the LLDP-enabled port using the
maximum frame size TLV. To advertise the maximum frame size, use the following command:
configure lldp ports [all | <port_list>] [advertise | no-advertise]
vendor-specific dot3 max-frame-size
Configuring LLDP MED Optional TLVs
After you enable an LLDP MED TLV, the switch waits until it detects a MED-capable device
before it begins transmitting the configured LLDP MED TLVs. The switch does not transmit
the MED TLVs as soon as they are enabled; it must first detect an MED-capable device.
Because network connectivity devices wait to detect LLDP MED TLVs from endpoints before
they send out LLDP MED TLVs 2 network connectivity devices will not exchange LLDP MED
messages.
To receive SNMP traps on the LLDP MED, you must enable these separately from the other
LLDP traps. For more information, see
Configuring SNMP for LLDP on page 166.
You must configure the LLDP MED capabilities TLV before you configure any other LLDP
MED TLVs. Finally, the fast-start feature allows you to increase the learning speed of the
switch for LLDP MED TLVs. The fast-start feature is automatically enabled once you enable
the LLDP MED capabilities TLV; you can change the configuration from the default setting of
3.
See LLDP MED TLVs on page 163 for complete information on each optional TLV.
This section describes configuring the following LLDP MED TLVs:
• LLDP MED capabilities TLV
• LLDP fast-start TLV
• Network policy TLV
• Location identification TLV
• Extended power-via-MDI TLV
To enable configuration and transmission of any other LLDP MED TLV and to determine the
LLDP MED capabilities of endpoint devices, use the following command:
configure lldp ports [all | <port_list>] [advertise | no-advertise]
vendor-specific med capabilities
To configure the LLDP fast-start feature, use the following command:
