Configuring LLDP
20
To advertise a IPv4 management address, enter a command such as the following:
PowerConnect(config)#lldp advertise management-address ipv4 209.157.2.1 ports e 4
The management address will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI
display output on the device (show lldp local-info):
Management address (IPv4): 209.157.2.1
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise management-address ipv4 <ipv4 address> ports ethernet <port list> |
all
<ipv4 address> or <ipv6 address> or both are the addresses that may be used to reach higher
layer entities to assist discovery by network management. In addition to management addresses,
the advertisement will include the system interface number associated with the management
address.
For <port list>, specify the port(s) in the format <portnum>. You can list all of the ports individually;
use the keyword to specify a range of ports, or a combination of both. To apply the configuration to
all ports on the device, use the keyword all instead of listing the ports individually.
Port description
The port description TLV identifies the port from which the LLDP agent transmitted the
advertisement. The port description is taken from the ifDescr MIB object from MIB-II.
By default, the port description is automatically advertised when LLDP is enabled on a global basis.
To disable advertisement of the port description, enter a command such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)#no lldp advertise port-description ports e 4 to 12
The port description will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI display
output on the device (show lldp local-info).
Port description: “GigabitEthernet20”
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise port-description ports ethernet <port-list> | all
System capabilities
The system capabilities TLV identifies the primary functions of the device and indicates whether
these primary functions are enabled. The primary functions can be one or more of the following
(more than one for example, if the device is both a bridge and a router):
• Repeater
• Bridge
• WLAN access point
• Router
• Telephone
• DOCSIS cable device
• Station only (devices that implement end station capability)
• Other
System capabilities for devices are based on the type of software image in use (e.g., Layer 2 switch
or Layer 3 router). The enabled capabilities will be the same as the available capabilities, except
that when using a router image (base or full Layer 3), if the global route-only feature is turned on,
the bridge capability will not be included, since no bridging takes place.
