Configuring for Network Management Applications
LLDP (Link-Layer Discovery Protocol)
Figure 13-16. Example of Per-Port Configuration Display
Configuring Global LLDP Packet Controls
The commands in this section configure the aspects of LLDP operation that
apply the same to all ports in the switch.
Enabling or Disabling LLDP Operation on the Switch. Enabling LLDP
operation (the default) causes the switch to:
■ Use active, LLDP-enabled ports to transmit LLDP packets describing itself
to neighbor devices.
■ Add entries to its neighbors table based on data read from incoming LLDP
advertisements.
For example, to disable LLDP on the switch:
ProCurve(config)# no lldp run
Syntax [ no ] lldp run
Enables or disables LLDP operation on the switch. The no form
of the command, regardless of individual LLDP port
configurations, prevents the switch from transmitting
outbound LLDP advertisements, and causes the switch to drop
all LLDP advertisements received from other devices. The
switch preserves the current LLDP configuration when LLDP
is disabled. After LLDP is disabled, the information in the
LLDP neighbors database remains until it times-out. (Default:
Enabled)
The blank IpAddress field indicates that the
default IP address will be advertised from this
port. (Refer to page 13-42: “Configuring a
Remote Management Address for Outbound
LLDP Advertisements”
