Configuration task list

LLDP-related configurations made in Layer 2/Layer 3 Ethernet interface view take effect only on the current
port, and those made in port group view take effect on all ports in the current port group.
Layer 3 interfaces refer to route-mode (or Layer 3) Ethernet ports. set an Ethernet port to operate in route
mode by using the port link-mode route command (see ―Ethernet interface configuration‖).
Complete these tasks to configure LLDP:

Enabling LLDP

To make LLDP take effect on specific ports, you must enable LLDP both globally and on these ports.
To enable LLDP:
Step...
1. Enter system view
2. Enable LLDP globally
3. Enter
