1. Issue the RPC to configure the node in the

urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface namespace.

2. Under the node, include the node element, which resides in the

urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-lldp namespace.

3. Under the node, include the node element.

4. Under the node, include the following leaf elements:

a. In the element, specify the name of the profile.

b. In the element, specify a description for the profile.

c. In the element, include the delete operation in the element tag to allow

transmission and reception of LLDP frames. Otherwise, set the value to “tx” (for
transmission only) or “rx” (for reception only).

d. In the element, specify the transmission frequency of LLDP frames in seconds.

e. In the element, specify the hold time for receiving devices.

5. Under the node, include the node.

6. Under the node, include the node element to advertise the TLV.

7. Under the node, include leaf elements enabling the desired optional LLDP TLVs.

These TLVs may include:

8. Under the node, include the following elements to advertise the LLPD

DCBX-related TLVs:

NOTE

Brocade recommends against advertising dot1.tlv and dot3.tlv LLDPs if your network contains
CNAs from non-Brocade vendors. This configuration may cause functionality problems.

The following example configures an LLDP profile named UK_LLDP_IT. It allows transmission and
reception of LLDP frames, provides a transmit frequency of 10 seconds, specifies a hold time of 20
seconds, and advertises optional and DCBX-related TLVs.
