Using LLDP

System name
The system name is taken from the sysName MIB object. The sysName MIB object corresponds to
the name defined with the CLI command hostname. By default, the system name is automatically
advertised when LLDP is enabled on a global basis. To disable this advertisement, enter the lldp
advertise system-name ports ethernet command.
Brocade(config)#no lldp advertise system-name ports e 2/4 to 2/12
The system name 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 name: “NI”
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise system-name ports ethernet slotnum/portnum | all
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.
Note that using the keyword all may cause undesirable effects on some ports. The configuration
will be applied to all ports, however, the ports that are not members of any VLAN will not send VLAN
name advertisements.
802.1 capabilities
Except for the VLAN name, the Brocade device will advertise the following 802.1 attributes when
LLDP is enabled on a global basis:
• VLAN name (not automatically advertised)
• Untagged VLAN ID
VLAN name
The VLAN name TLV contains the name and VLAN ID of a VLAN configured on a port. An LLDPDU
may include multiple instances of this TLV, each for a different VLAN.
To advertise the VLAN name, enter the lldp advertise vlan-name vlan command.
Brocade(config)#lldp advertise vlan-name vlan 99 ports e 2/4 to 2/12
The VLAN name will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI display
output on the Brocade device (show lldp local-info).
VLAN name (VLAN 99): “Voice-VLAN-99”
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise vlan-name vlan vlan ID ports ethernet port list | all
For vlan ID, enter the VLAN ID to advertise.
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.
Note that using the keyword all may cause undesirable effects on some ports. The configuration
will be applied to all ports, however, the ports that are not members of any VLAN will not send VLAN
name advertisements.
