Chapter 78: LLDP and LLDP-MED

1236

Configuring Ports to Only Receive LLDP and LLDP-MED TLVs

This is the first in a series of examples that show how to configure the
ports for LLDP and LLDP-MED. In this first example, ports 4 and 18 are
configured to accept advertisements from their neighbors, but not to send
any advertisements.

If LLDP is active on the switch, the switch begins to populate the neighbor
table as TLVs arrive on ports 4 and 18. The neighbors on those ports do
not receive any advertisements from the switch because the ports do not
send any TLVs.
