MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

NOTE:
• Once AP names are dynamically changed by this feature, there is no way to return to
the original AP names.
• When the LLDP agent is active on both the LAN port (Access Network on the MSM720)
and the Internet port (Internet Network on the MSM720), the name generated on the
LAN port is used for both interfaces.
• The dynamic name on the controller is only updated when a change is detected in the
neighbor to which a port is connected.
TLV settings
To customize TLV settings, select Configure TLVs on the Controller >> Network > Discovery protocols
page.
Basic TLVs
The AP supports all mandatory and optional TLVs (type, length, value) information elements
that are part of the basic management set.
Mandatory TLVs
The AP always sends these TLVs with the values as shown.
Chassis ID
(Type 1): The MAC address of the AP.
Port ID
(Type 2): The MAC address of the port on which the TLV will be transmitted.
Time to live
(Type 3): Defines the length of time that neighbors will consider LLDP information sent
by this agent to be valid. Calculated by multiplying Transmit interval by the Multiplier
(as defined on the Discovery protocols page).
Optional TLVs
Select the optional TLVs that you want to send with the values as shown.
Port description
(Type 4): A description of the port.
System name
(Type 5): Administrative name assigned to the device from which the TLV was transmitted.
By default this is the SNMP system name. If the Generate dynamic system names option
is enabled, the system name is replaced by the dynamically generated name. The
