Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide - Manual (Page 183)

System capabilities
The system capabilities TLV identifies the primary functions of the device and indicates whether these
primary functions are enabled. The primary functions can be one or more of the following (more than
one for example, if the device is both a bridge and a router):
• Repeater
• Bridge
• WLAN access point
• Router
• Telephone
• DOCSIS cable device
• Station only (devices that implement end station capability)
• Other
System capabilities for Brocade devices are based on the type of software image in use (e.g., Layer 2
switch or Layer 3 router). The enabled capabilities will be the same as the available capabilities, except
that when using a router image (base or full Layer 3), if the global route-only feature is turned on, the
bridge capability will not be included, since no bridging takes place.
By default, the system capabilities are automatically advertised when LLDP is enabled on a global
basis. To disable this advertisement, enter a command such as the following.
device(config)#no lldp advertise system-capabilities ports e 2/4 to 2/12
The system capabilities will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI display
output on the Brocade device (show lldp local-info ).
System capabilities : bridge

System description
The system description is the network entity, which can include information such as the product name
or model number, the version of the system hardware type, the software operating system level, and the
networking software version. The information corresponds to the sysDescr MIB object in MIB-II.
To advertise the system description, enter a command such as the following.
device(config)#lldp advertise system-description ports e 2/4 to 2/12
The system 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 ).
