Layer 2 Switching Commands 619
• system-capabilities — Transmits the system capabilities (TLV type 7).
Default Configuration
By default, the chassis ID (1), port ID (2), time-to-live (3), port-description
(4), port-vlan (127/1), and system-name (5) TLVs are transmitted.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet) mode
User Guidelines
LLDP must be enabled globally, or if disabled globally, enabled on the
interface for this command to have an effect.
The switch does not attempt to identify if the transmitted VLAN information
matches the received VLAN information.
The string configured by the hostname command is transmitted by the
system-name TLV.
If no TLV argument is given, the configuration remains unchanged.
Use the show lldp remote-device all command to see the advertised LLDP
neighbor information.
The management address TLV is type 8. The switch will send the address of
the service port, if available, otherwise, the IP address of the switch, if
defined, otherwise, the MAC address of the switch. The interface numbering
subtype sent is always IfIndex. If IPv6 management addresses are configured,
they are also sent.
See the lldp med command for additional LLDP transmission capabilities.
