Chapter 14 LLDP configuration

14.1 Brief introduction of LLDP protocol

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol)is the new protocol defined by IEEE 802.1AB. It realizes

proclaiming information about itself to other neighbor devices through network and receives

the bulletin information from neighbor devices and stores it to standard MIB of LLDP. It is

convenient for user to check the device model and linked interfaces of downlink neighbor

devices and maintains central office and manage network. Network administrator can know the

link of network layer 2 by accessing MIB.

14.2 LLDP configuration

14.2.1 LLDP configuration list

The configuration can be effective only after LLDP enables. Configure related parameter of

devices or Ethernet interface before enabling LLDP and these configurations will be saved

after disabling LLDP. And the parameter will be effective after re-enabling LLDP. LLDP

configuration list is as following:

 Enable/disable global LLDP

 Configure LLDP hello-time

 Configure LLDP hold-time

 Interface LLDP packet receiving/sending mode configuration

 Display LLDP information

14.2.1.1 Enable/disable global LLDP

Use following command in global configuration mode:

 Enable global LLDP
