LLDP configuration task list

Complete these tasks to configure LLDP:
Task
Performing basic LLDP
configuration
Configuring CDP compatibility
Configuring DCBX
Configuring LLDP trapping
LLDP-related configurations made in 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.
The Layer 3 Ethernet interface is an Ethernet interface operating in route mode. Set an Ethernet port as a
Layer 3 Ethernet interface by using the port link-mode route command (see chapter "Ethernet interface
configuration").

Performing basic LLDP configuration
