Configuring LLDP Timing Attributes

Configuring LLDP Interface Attributes

Use the Administration > LLDP (Configure Interface) page to specify the message attributes for
individual interfaces, including whether messages are transmitted, received, or both transmitted
and received, whether SNMP notifications are sent, and the type of information advertised.

CLI References

“LLDP Commands”

on page 499

Parameters
These parameters are displayed:

Admin Status – Enables LLDP message transmit and receive modes for LLDP Protocol Data
Units. (Options: Tx only, Rx only, TxRx, Disabled; Default: TxRx)

SNMP Notification – Enables the transmission of SNMP trap notifications about LLDP
changes. (Default: Disabled)
This option sends out SNMP trap notifications to designated target stations at the interval
specified by the Notification Interval in the preceding section. Trap notifications include
information about state changes in the LLDP MIB (IEEE 802.1AB), the LLDP-MED MIB
(ANSI/TIA-1057), or vendor-specific LLDP-EXT-DOT1 and LLDP-EXT-DOT3 MIBs.

For information on defining SNMP trap destinations, see

“Specifying Trap Managers”

on

page 965.

Information about additional changes in LLDP neighbors that occur between SNMP
notifications is not transmitted. Only state changes that exist at the time of a trap notification
are included in the transmission. An SNMP agent should therefore periodically check the value
of lldpStatsRemTableLastChangeTime to detect any lldpRemTablesChange notification-events
missed due to throttling or transmission loss.

Basic Optional TLVs – Configures basic information included in the TLV field of advertised
messages.

Management Address – The management address protocol packet includes the IPv4
address of the switch. If no management address is available, the address should be the
MAC address for the CPU or for the port sending this advertisement.
