LLDP configuration with NETCONF overview
This chapter provides procedures for configuring the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) using
NETCONF interfaces. Refer to the Network OS Administrator’s Guide for the following related
information:
• An overview of LLDP explaining what it is and how it works
• An explanation of Layer 2 topology mapping
• An overview of the Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange Protocol (DCBX), including
Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) and Process Flow Control (PFC)
• How DCBX interacts with devices from other vendors
• A summary of configuration guidelines and restrictions
• A summary of configuration default values
Using the NETCONF interface, you can perform the following LLDP configuration operations:
• Use the remote procedure call (RPC) to configure LLDP.
• Use the RPC to verify all or part of the LLDP configuration.
LLDP parameters are defined in the brocade-lldp YANG module. For a structural map of the YANG
module, refer to the Network OS YANG Reference Manual. For definitions and explanations of all
LLDP parameters, refer to the brocade-lldp.yang file.
Enabling and disabling LLDP
NOTE
Use the RPC to save your configuration changes.
Enabling LLDP globally
This procedure enables LLDP globally on all interfaces unless it has been specifically disabled on
an interface. LLDP is enabled globally by default.
