Configuring LLDP
9
Use the [no] form of the command to disable the receipt and transmission of LLDP packets on a
port.
You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword to to specify ranges 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.
Enabling and disabling receive only mode
When LLDP is enabled on a global basis, by default, each port on the Brocade device will be
capable of transmitting and receiving LLDP packets. To change the LLDP operating mode from
receive and transmit mode to receive only mode, simply disable the transmit mode. Enter a
command such as the following at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.
BigIron RX(config)# no lldp enable transmit ports e 2/4 e 2/5 e 2/6
The above command changes the LLDP operating mode on ports 2/4, 2/5, and 2/6 from transmit
and receive mode to receive only mode.
To change a port’s LLDP operating mode from transmit only to receive only, first disable the
transmit only mode, then enable the receive only mode. Enter commands such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# no lldp enable transmit ports e 2/7 e 2/8 e 2/9
BigIron RX(config)# lldp enable receive ports e 2/7 e 2/8 e 2/9
The above commands change the LLDP operating mode on ports 2/7, 2/8, and 2/9, from transmit
only to receive only. Note that if you do not disable the transmit only mode, you will configure the
port to both transmit and receive LLDP packets.
Syntax: [no] lldp enable receive ports ethernet <slotnum/portnum> | all
Use the [no] form of the command to disable the receive only mode.
You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword to to specify ranges 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.
Enabling and disabling transmit only mode
When LLDP is enabled on a global basis, by default, each port on the Brocade device will be
capable of transmitting and receiving LLDP packets. To change the LLDP operating mode to
transmit only mode, simply disable the receive mode. Enter a command such as the following at
the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.
BigIron RX(config)# no lldp enable receive ports e 2/4 e 2/5 e 2/6
The above command changes the LLDP operating mode on ports 2/4, 2/5, and 2/6 from transmit
and receive mode to transmit only mode. Any incoming LLDP packets will be dropped in software.
To change a port’s LLDP operating mode from receive only to transmit only, first disable the receive
only mode, then enable the transmit only mode. For example, enter commands such as the
following at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.
BigIron RX(config)# no lldp enable receive ports e 2/7 e 2/8
BigIron RX(config)# lldp enable transmit ports e 2/7 e 2/8
