LLDP configuration
Brocade(config)#lldp advertise management-address ipv4 209.157.2.1 ports e 1/4
The management address will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI
display output on the Brocade 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
To support an IPv6 management address, there is a similar command that has equivalent behavior
as the IPv4 command.
To advertise an IPv6 management address, enter a command such as the following:
Brocade(config)#lldp advertise management-address ipv6 1234:5678::90 ports e 2/7
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise management-address ipv6 <ipv6 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 [<slotnum>/]<portnum>, where <slotnum> is
required on chassis devices only. 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.
Brocade(config)#no lldp advertise port-description ports e 2/4 to 2/12
The port description will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI display
output on the Brocade device (show lldp local-info).
Port description: “GigabitEthernet20”
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise port-description ports ethernet <port-list> | all
For port-list , specify the ports in one of the following formats:
• FWS, FCX, and ICX stackable switches – stack-unit/slotnum/portnum
• FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis devices – slotnum/portnum
• FESX compact switches – portnum
You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword to to specify ranges 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. Note that using the keyword all may cause undesirable
effects on some ports. For example, if you configure all ports to advertise their VLAN name, and the
configuration includes ports that are not members of any VLAN, the system will warn of the
misconfigurations on non-member VLAN ports. The configuration will be applied to all ports,
however, the ports that are not members of any VLAN will not send VLAN name advertisements.
