Syntax: lldp reinit-delay seconds
The seconds variable specifies the LLDP re-initialization delay timer with a range of 1 to 10
seconds.
LLDP TLVs advertised by the Brocade device
When LLDP is enabled on a global basis, the Brocade device automatically advertises the following
information, except as specified.
General system information
• Management address
• Port description
• System capabilities
• System description (not automatically advertised)
• System name
Management address
The management address is an IPv4 address that can be used to manage the device. If no
management address is explicitly configured to be advertised, the Brocade device will use the first
available IPv4 address configured on the following types of interfaces, in the following order of
preference:
• Physical port on which LLDP will be transmitting the packet
• Loopback interface
• Virtual routing interface (VE)
• Router interface on a VLAN of which the port is a member
• Other physical interface
If no IP address is configured, the port’s current MAC address will be advertised.
To advertise the IPv4 management address, enter the lldp advertise management-address ipv4
command.
Brocade(config)#lldp advertise management-address ipv4 10.157.2.1 ports e 1/4
The management address will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI
display output on the Brocade device (show lldp local-info).
Management address (IPv4): 10.157.2.1
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise management-address ipv4 ipv4 address ports ethernet port list | all
ipv4 address is the address that may be used to reach higher layer entities to assist discovery by
network management. In addition to the management address, the advertisement will include the
system interface number and OID associated with the management address, if either or both are
known.
For port list, specify the ports in the format [slotnum/]portnum, where slotnum is required on
chassis devices only. You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword to to specify a range
of ports, or a combination of both. To apply the configuration to all ports on the device, use the
keyword all instead of listing the ports individually.
