C HAPTER 15 | Basic Administration Protocols
Link Layer Discovery Protocol
– 208 –
ES-2000 Series
CONFIGURING LLDP
INTERFACE
ATTRIBUTES
Use the Administration > LLDP (Configure Interface – Configure General)
page to specify the message attributes for individual interfaces, including
whether messages are transmitted, received, or both transmitted and
received, whether SNMP notifications are sent, and the type of information
advertised.
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ Admin Status – Enables LLDP message transmit and receive modes
for LLDP Protocol Data Units. (Options: Tx only, Rx only, TxRx,
Disabled; Default: TxRx)
◆ SNMP Notification – Enables the transmission of SNMP trap
notifications about LLDP and LLDP-MED changes. (Default: Disabled)
This option sends out SNMP trap notifications to designated target
stations at the interval specified by the Notification Interval in the
preceding section. Trap notifications include information about state
changes in the LLDP MIB (IEEE 802.1AB), the LLDP-MED MIB (ANSI/
TIA-1057), or vendor-specific LLDP-EXT-DOT1 and LLDP-EXT-DOT3
MIBs.
For information on defining SNMP trap destinations, see "Specifying
Trap Managers" on page 245.
Information about additional changes in LLDP neighbors that occur
between SNMP notifications is not transmitted. Only state changes that
exist at the time of a trap notification are included in the transmission.
An SNMP agent should therefore periodically check the value of
lldpStatsRemTableLastChangeTime to detect any lldpRemTablesChange
notification-events missed due to throttling or transmission loss.
◆ MED Notification – Enables the transmission of SNMP trap
notifications about LLDP-MED changes. (Default: Enabled)
◆ Basic Optional TLVs – Configures basic information included in the
TLV field of advertised messages.
■
Management Address – The management address protocol
packet includes the IPv4 address of the switch. If no management
address is available, the address should be the MAC address for the
CPU or for the port sending this advertisement.
The management address TLV may also include information about
the specific interface associated with this address, and an object
identifier indicating the type of hardware component or protocol
entity associated with this address. The interface number and OID
are included to assist SNMP applications in the performance of
network discovery by indicating enterprise specific or other starting
points for the search, such as the Interface or Entity MIB.
Since there are typically a number of different addresses associated
with a Layer 3 device, an individual LLDP PDU may contain more
than one management address TLV.
