Setting An Encapsulation Format For Lldp Frames; Configuring Cdp Compatibility - HP FlexFabric 12900 Series Configuration Manual

Step
4. Set the token bucket size for
sending LLDP frames.
5. Set the LLDP frame
transmission delay.
6. Set the number of LLDP frames
sent each time fast LLDP frame
transmission is triggered.
7. Set an interval for fast LLDP
frame transmission.

Setting an encapsulation format for LLDP frames

LLDP frames can be encapsulated in the following formats:
Ethernet II—With Ethernet II encapsulation configured, an LLDP port sends LLDP frames in Ethernet
•
II frames.
SNAP—With SNAP encapsulation configured, an LLDP port sends LLDP frames in SNAP frames.
•
Earlier versions of LLDP require the same encapsulation format on both ends to process LLDP frames. To
successfully communicate with a neighboring device running an earlier version of LLDP, the local device
must be configured with the same encapsulation format.
To set the encapsulation format for LLDP frames to SNAP:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter Layer 2/Layer 3
Ethernet interface view,
management Ethernet
interface view, or Layer 2
aggregate interface view.
3. Set the encapsulation
format for LLDP frames to
SNAP.

Configuring CDP compatibility

When the switch is directly connected to a Cisco device that supports only CDP rather than LLDP, you can
enable CDP compatibility to enable the switch to exchange information with the directly-connected
device.
With CDP compatibility enabled on the switch, the switch can use LLDP to receive and recognize the CDP
packets received from the directly-connected device and send CDP packets to the directly-connected
