Configuring the management address and its encoding format

LLDP encodes management addresses in numeric or character string format in management address
TLVs.
By default, management addresses are encoded in numeric format. If a neighbor encoded its
management address in character string format, you must configure the encoding format of the
management address as string on the connecting port to guarantee normal communication with the
neighbor.
Follow these steps to configure a management address to be advertised and its encoding format on a
port or group of ports:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter
Ethernet
interface
view or port
group view
Allow LLDP to advertise the
management address in LLDPDUs and
configure the advertised management
address
Configure the encoding format of the
management address as character
string
Use the command...
lldp tlv-enable { basic-tlv { all |
port-description | system-capability |
system-description | system-name } |
dot3-tlv { all | link-aggregation |
mac-physic | max-frame-size | power } |
med-tlv { all | capability | inventory |
location-id { civic-address device-type
country-code { ca-type ca-value }&<1-10> |
elin-address tel-number } |
power-over-ethernet } }
Use the command...

Remarks
Optional
By default, all types of LLDP
TLVs, except IEEE 802.1
organizationally specific
TLVs, network policy TLVs,
and location identification
TLVs, are advertisable on a
Layer 3 Ethernet port.
For a Layer 2 Ethernet port, the
management address is the main IP
address of the lowest-ID VLAN
carried on the port. If none of the
carried VLANs is assigned an IP
address, no management address
will be advertised.
For a Layer 3 Ethernet port, the
management address is its own IP
address. If no IP address is
configured for the Layer 3 Ethernet
port, no management address will
be advertised.
