Configuring The Management Address And Its Encoding Format - HP A6600 Configuration Manual

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.
To configure a management address to be advertised and its encoding format on one or a group of ports:
To do...
1. Enter system view
2. Enter
Ethernet
interface
view or
port
group
view
3. Allow LLDP to advertise the
management address in LLDPDUs
and configure the advertised
management address
Use the command...
lldp tlv-enable { basic-tlv { all |
port-description | system-capability |
system-description | system-name } |
dot3-tlv { all | link-aggregation |
mac-physic | max-frame-size | power } |
med-tlv { all | capability | inventory |
location-id { civic-address device-type
country-code { ca-type ca-value }&<1-10> |
elin-address tel-number } |
power-over-ethernet } }
Use the command...

Remarks
Optional.
By default, all types of
LLDP TLVs, except IEEE
802.1 organizationally
specific TLVs, network
policy TLVs, and
location identification
TLVs, are advertisable
on a Layer 3 Ethernet
port.
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 is advertised.
For a Layer 3 Ethernet port, the
management address is its
own IP address. If no IP
address is configured for the
Layer 3 Ethernet port, no
management address is
advertised.
