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 can 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
one or a group of ports:

By default, the management
address is sent through
LLDPDUs, and the
management address is the
main IP address of the
lowest-ID VLAN carried on the
interface. If the VLAN is not
assigned a main IP address,
127.0.0.1 is used.
Optional
By default, the management
address is encapsulated in the
numeric format.
