Configuring LLDP
Management Address
A 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 device will use the first available
IPv4 address. A Layer 3 switch will select the first available address of each type from those
configured on the following types of interfaces, in the following order of preference:
•
Physical port on which LLDP will be transmitting the packet
•
Virtual router interface (VE) on a VLAN that the port is a member of
•
Loopback interface
•
Virtual router interface (VE) on any other VLAN
•
Other physical port
If no IP address is configured on any of the above, the port's current MAC address will be
advertised.
To advertise a IPv4 management address, enter a command such as the following:
TurboIron(config)#lldp advertise management-address ipv4 10.157.2.1 ports e 4
The management address will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI
display output on the device (show lldp local-info):
Management address (IPv4): 10.157.2.1
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise management-address ipv4
all
For
use the keyword 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.
Port description
The port description TLV identifies the port from which the LLDP agent transmitted the
advertisement. The port description is taken from the ifDescr MIB object from MIB-II.
By default, the port description is automatically advertised when LLDP is enabled on a global basis.
To disable advertisement of the port description, enter a command such as the following.
TurboIron(config)#no lldp advertise port-description ports e 4 to 12
The port description will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI display
output on the device (show lldp local-info).
Port description: “GigabitEthernet20”
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise port-description ports ethernet
System capabilities
The system capabilities TLV identifies the primary functions of the device and indicates whether
these primary functions are enabled. The primary functions can be one or more of the following
(more than one for example, if the device is both a bridge and a router):
•
Repeater
•
Bridge
•
WLAN access point
•
Router
•
Telephone
