Configuring LLDP

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) allows network managers to troubleshoot
and enhance network management by discovering and maintaining network
topologies over multi-vendor environments. LLDP discovers network neighbors by
standardizing methods for network devices to advertise themselves to other system,
and to store discovered information. Device discovery information includes:
• Device Identification
• Device Capabilities
• Device Configuration
The advertising device transmits multiple advertisement message sets in a single
LAN packet. The multiple advertisement sets are sent in the packet Type Length
Value (TLV) field. LLDP devices must support chassis and port ID advertisement, as
well as system name, system ID, system description, and system capability
advertisements.
Command Attributes
• Enable LLDP — Indicates if LLDP is enabled on the device. The possible field
values are:
– Enabled — Indicates that LLDP is enabled on the device.
– Disabled — Indicates that LLDP is disabled on the device. This is the
default value.
• Updates Interval (5-32768) — Indicates that rate at which LLDP advertisement
updates are sent. The possible field range is 5 - 3276 seconds. The default
value is 30 seconds.
• Hold Multiplier — Indicates the amount of time that LLDP packets are held
before the packets are discarded. The value represents a multiple of the
Updates Interval. The possible field range is 2 - 10. The field default is 4.
For example, if the Update Interval is 30 seconds and the Hold Multiplier is 4,
then the LLDP packets are discarded after 120 seconds.
• Reinitializing Delay (1-10) — Indicates the amount of time that passes
between disabling LLDP and when reinitializing begins. The possible field
range is 1 - 10 seconds. The field default is 2 seconds.
• Transmit Delay — Indicates the amount of time that passes between succes-
sive LLDP frame transmissions due to changes in the LLDP local systems MIB.
The possible field value is 1 – 8192 seconds. The field default is 2 seconds.
