Configure Lldp; Related Configuration Tasks; Important Points To Remember; Lldp Compatibility - Dell S6100 Configuration Manual

• Power Value — Dell Networking advertises the maximum amount of power that can be supplied on the port. By default the power is
15.4W, which corresponds to a power value of 130, based on the TIA-1057 specification. You can advertise a different power value using
the max-milliwatts option with the power inline auto | static command. Dell Networking also honors the power value
(power requirement) the powered device sends when the port is configured for power inline auto.

Configure LLDP

Configuring LLDP is a two-step process.
1 Enable LLDP globally.
2 Advertise TLVs out of an interface.

Related Configuration Tasks

• Viewing the LLDP Configuration
• Viewing Information Advertised by Adjacent LLDP Agents
• Configuring LLDPDU Intervals
• Configuring Transmit and Receive Mode
• Configuring a Time to Live
• Debugging LLDP

Important Points to Remember

• LLDP is enabled by default.
• Dell Networking systems support up to eight neighbors per interface.
• Dell Networking systems support a maximum of 8000 total neighbors per system. If the number of interfaces multiplied by eight
exceeds the maximum, the system does not configure more than 8000.
• INTERFACE level configurations override all CONFIGURATION level configurations.
• LLDP is not hitless.

LLDP Compatibility

• Spanning tree and force10 ring protocol "blocked" ports allow LLDPDUs.
• 802.1X controlled ports do not allow LLDPDUs until the connected device is authenticated.

CONFIGURATION versus INTERFACE Configurations

All LLDP configuration commands are available in PROTOCOL LLDP mode, which is a sub-mode of the CONFIGURATION mode and
INTERFACE mode.
• Configurations made at the CONFIGURATION level are global; that is, they affect all interfaces on the system.
