Brocade Network OS Administrator’s Guide v4.1.1 - Manual (Page 454)

1. Enter the protocol lldp command to enter protocol configuration mode.
switch(config)# protocol lldp
2. Enter the disable command to disable LLDP globally.
switch(conf-lldp)# disable
Resetting LLDP globally
The no protocol lldp command returns all configuration settings made using the protocol LLDP
commands to their default settings.
To reset LLDP globally, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Reset LLDP globally.
switch(config)# no protocol lldp
Configuring LLDP global command options
After entering the protocol lldp command from global configuration mode, you are in LLDP
configuration mode, which is designated with the switch(conf-lldp)# prompt. Using the keywords in this
mode, you can set nondefault parameter values that apply globally to all interfaces.
Specifying a system name for the Brocade VDX hardware
The global system name for LLDP is useful for differentiating between switches. By default, the "host-
name" from the chassis/entity management information base is used. By specifying a descriptive
system name, you will find it easier to configure the switch for LLDP.
To specify a global system name for the Brocade VDX hardware, perform the following steps from
privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter LLDP configuration mode.
switch(config)# protocol lldp
3. Specify an LLDP system name for the DCB switch.
switch(conf-lldp)# system-name Brocade_Alpha
Brocade_Alpha(conf-lldp)#
Specifying an LLDP system description for the Brocade VDX hardware
NOTE
Brocade recommends you use the operating system version for the description or use the description
from the chassis/entity management information base (MIB). Do not use special characters, such as #
$!@, as part of the system name and description.
To specify an LLDP system description for the Brocade VDX hardware, perform the following steps
from privileged EXEC mode. The system description is seen by neighboring switches.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter LLDP configuration mode.
switch(config)# protocol lldp
3. Specify a system description for the Brocade VDX hardware.
switch(conf-lldp)# system-description IT_1.6.2_LLDP_01
