Port Description TLV content
Select the content to be included in and advertised as part of the port description TLV.

Generate dynamic system names
When enabled, this feature replaces the system name with a dynamically generated value
which you can define.
Controller name Specify how the dynamically generated name will
be created. You can use regular text in combination
with placeholders to create the name. Placeholders
are automatically expanded each time the name is
regenerated.
If the placeholders cause the generated name to
exceed 32 characters, it is truncated.
Placeholders %RN: System name of the neighboring device to
which the port is connected, obtained via the System
Name TLV. Since this is an optional TLV, if it is not
available, the Chassis ID TLV is used instead.
%RP: Port description of the port on the neighboring
device to which the local port is connected, obtained
via the Port Description TLV. Since this is an optional
TLV, if it is not available, the Port ID TLV is used
instead.
%SN: Controller name suffix (if specified). Up to 16
characters can be appended to the name. To define
the suffix for APs, select Configuration > LLDP.
%IP: Controller’s IP address. An IP address can
require up to 15 characters (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn).
Expanded Controller name Specify how the dynamically generated name will
be created. You can use regular text in combination
with placeholders to create the name. Placeholders
are automatically expanded each time the name is
regenerated.
If the placeholders cause the generated name to
exceed 32 characters, it is truncated.
Update AP names every Specify the interval at which dynamic names for all
controlled APs are updated.
To define the dynamic names for APs, select
Controlled APs >> Configuration > LLDP.
To create the system name, the items are concatenated using a hyphen as separator. For
example:
systemname-portid-suffix
56 Network configuration
