LLDP Receive Features

Types of Information Received

Viewing Remote Device Information

© Copyright Lenovo 2018
When the LLDP receive option is enabled on a port (see "Enabling or Disabling
LLDP" on page 465), the port may receive the following information from
LLDP‐capable remote systems:
 Chassis Information
 Port Information
 LLDP Time‐to‐Live
 Port Description
 System Name
 System Description
 System Capabilities Supported/Enabled
 Remote Management Address
The NE2552E stores the collected LLDP information in the MIB. Each remote
LLDP‐capable device is responsible for transmitting regular LLDP updates. If the
received updates contain LLDP information changes (to port state, configuration,
LLDP MIB structures, deletion), the switch will set a change flag within the MIB for
convenient notification to SNMP‐based management systems.
LLDP information collected from neighboring systems can be viewed in numerous
ways:
 Using a centrally‐connected LLDP analysis server
 Using an SNMP agent to examine the NE2552E MIB
 Using the NE2552E Browser‐Based Interface (BBI)
 Using CLI or isCLI commands on the NE2552E
Using the isCLI the following command displays remote LLDP information:
NE2552E(config)# show lldp remote-device [<index number>]
