It only reports configuration of layer-2. Simply, LLDP is a neighbor discovery protocol. It sets a standard method for the Ethernet network device, such as switches, routers and WAPs. It enables the Ethernet device notify its existence to other nodes and save the discovery information of neighboring devices.
1.1.3 Initializing LLDP Reception Mode Set LLDP to receive-only in the interface mode. In receive-only mode, the interface can receive LLDP packets from the neighbors and save tlv into the remote MIB. The interface will drop LLDP packets when disabling the function.
15. Link Aggregation 16. Max Frame Size MED (TLV of MED is not transmitted by default. LLDP packets with MED TLV will be transmitted only when LLDP packets with MED TLV are received.) 17. MED Capability (TLV is compulsory if MED TLV is added.) 18.
But the frame may loss in sending and causes the information ages. For avoiding this, you need to set the value of TTL and ensure the update LLDP frame is forwarded time after time. You can control the timeout time of transmitting the LLDP message through...
LLDP Configuration Caution: To ensure the former neighbor information is not lost owing to aging when receiving next LLDP frame, the timeout time should be longer than the LLDP packet transmit interval. 1.3.3 Configuring Timer You can control the interval of the switch to transmit message by configuring the timer of LLDP.
1.3.5 Configuring the To-Be-SentTLV You can choose TLV which requires to be sent by configuring tlv-select of LLDP. By default, all TLVs are transmitted. Run the following commands in global configuration mode to add or delete tlv of...
1.3.6 Specifying the Port’s Configuration and Selecting the To-Be-Sent Expanded Through the configuration of dot1-tlv-select/ dot3-tlv-select/ med-tlv-select of LLDP on a port, you can select expanded TLV to be sent. By default, TLV of both DOT1 and DOT3 will be transmitted while TLV of MED will not be transmitted.

Enters the global configuration mode. Step2 interface intf-type intf-id Enters the interface configuration mode. Step3 no lldp dot1-tlv-select port-vlan-id (Optional) Sends the 802.1-defined TLV and notifies the PVID of a port. Step4 no lldp dot1-tlv-select protocol-vlan-id (Optional) Sends the 802.1-defined TLV and notifies the PPVID of a port.
By default, LLDP works under the transmit-and-receive mode. You can modify the working mode of LLDP through the following commands. Run the following commands in the interface configuration mode and set lldp to the transmit-and-receive mode. Procedure Command...

Note: Both the no lldp command and the management-ip command can be used to resume the default management address of the port and the default management address is the IP address of the VLAN interface that corresponds to the PVID port.
