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 one
or a 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 } | dot1-tlv { all
| port-vlan-id | protocol-vlan-id [ vlan-id ] |

Use the command...

Remarks
—
Required
Use either command.
Optional
By default, the management
address is sent through LLDPDUs.
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.
Optional
By default, the management
address is encapsulated in the
numeric format.

Remarks
Optional
By default, all types of
LLDP TLVs except the
location identification
TLVs are advertisable
on a Layer 2 Ethernet
port.
