Configuration Example

6.1 Example for Configuring LLDP
6.1.1 Network Requirements
The network administrator needs view the information of the devices in the company
network to know about the link situation and network topology so that he can troubleshoot
the potential network faults in advance.
6.1.2 Network Topology
Exampled with the following situation:
Port Gi1/0/1 on Switch A is directly connected to port Gi1/0/2 on Switch B. Switch B is
directly connected to the PC. The administrator can view the device information using the
NMS.
Figure 6-1 LLDP Network Topology
6.1.3 Configuration Scheme
LLDP can meet the network requirements. Enable the LLDP feature globally on Switch A
and Switch B. Configure the related LLDP parameters on the corresponding ports.
Configuring Switch A and Switch B:
The configurations of Switch A and Switch B are similar. The following introductions
take Switch A as an example. Demonstrated with T1600G-28TS, this chapter provides
configuration procedures in two ways: using the GUI and using the CLI.
6.1.4 Using the GUI
1) Choose the menu LLDP > Basic Config > Global Config to load the following page.
Enable LLDP globally and configure the related parameters. Here we take the default
settings as an example.
