3. Configure the Minimum Packets field to define a minimum packet throughput value for trap
generation.
4. Click Apply to save any changes to the SNMP RF Traps screen. Navigating away from the screen
without clicking the Apply button results in all changes to the screen being lost.
5. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the
settings displayed on SNMP RF Traps screen to the last saved configuration.
6. Click Logout to securely exit the Mobility 7131 Access Point Access Point applet. A prompt
displays confirming the logout before the applet is closed.
Configuring LLDP Settings
LLDP is a Layer 2 protocol (IEEE standard 802.1AB) used to determine the capabilities of devices
such as repeaters, bridges, access points, routers and wireless clients. LLDP enables devices to
advertise their capabilities and media-specific configurations.
LLDP provides a method of discovering and representing the physical network connections of a
given network management domain. The LLDP neighbor discovery protocol allows you to discover
and maintain accurate network topologies in a multivendor environment.
The information is in a Type Length Value (TLV) format for each data item. TLV information is
transmitted in a LLDP protocol data unit (LLDPDU), enclosed in an Ethernet frame and sent to a
destination MAC address. Certain TLVs are mandatory, and always sent once LLDP is enabled,
while other TLVs are optionally configured. LLDP defines a set of common advertisement
messages, a protocol for transmitting the advertisements and a method for storing information in
received advertisements. A switch can receive and record the TLVs, but not transmit them. The
information distributed using LLDP is stored by its recipients in a standard MIB, making it possible
for the information to be accessed by a NMS using a management protocol such as SNMP.
LLDP transmits periodic advertisements containing device information and media-specific
configuration information to neighbors attached to the same network. LLDP agents cannot solicit
information from other agents by way of LLDP.
To configure LLDP support:
1. Select System Configuration - > LLDP from the menu tree.
% Dropped Enter a maximum threshold for the total percentage of packets dropped for each device.
Dropped packets can be caused by poor RF signal or interference on the channel.
% Undecryptable Define a maximum threshold for the total percentage of packets undecryptable for each
device. Undecryptable packets can be the result of corrupt packets, bad CRC checks or
incomplete packets.
Associated MUs Set a maximum threshold for the total number of MUs associated with each device.
Minimum number of packets
required for a trap to fire Enter the minimum number of packets that must pass through the device before an
SNMP rate trap is sent. Brocade Mobility recommends using the default setting of
1000 as a minimum setting for the field.
