Configure Lldp Ports Vendor-Specific Med Capabilities - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Manual

ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
Commands for Configuring LLDP

configure lldp ports vendor-specific med capabilities

configure lldp ports [all | <port_list>] [advertise | no-advertise] vendor-
specific med capabilities
Description
Configures the LLDP port to advertise or not advertise MED capabilities. This TLV must be enabled
before any of the other MED TLVs can be enabled. Also, this TLV must be set to no-advertise after all
other MED TLVs are set to no-advertise.
Syntax Description
all
port_list
advertise
no-advertise
Default
No advertise.
Usage Guidelines
This command enables the LLDP media endpoint discovery (MED) capabilities TLV, which allows
LLDP-MED network connectivity devices to definitively determine that particular endpoints support
LLDP MED, and if so, to discover which LLDP MED TLVs the particular endpoint devices are capable
of supporting and to which specific device class the device belongs to.
This TLV must be enabled before any of the other MED TLVs can be enabled; and this TLV must be set
to no-advertise after all other MED TLVs are set to no-advertise.
As with all the LLDP MED TLVs, the switch sends this TLV only after it detects a MED-capable device
on the port. The switch does not automatically send this TLV after it is enabled; the switch must first
detect a MED-capable device on the port.
NOTE
Network connectivity devices wait to detect LLDP MED TLVs from endpoints before they send out LLDP MED TLVs;
so 2 network connectivity devices will not exchange LLDP MED messages.
The following information is included in the LLDP MED capabilities TLV when it is transmitted:
The supported LLDP MED TLVs—For Extreme Networks devices, these are capabilities, network
●
policy, location, and extended power (extended power only advertised only on PoE-capable ports).
The MED device type—For Extreme Networks devices, this is advertised as a network connectivity
●
device (set to 4).
