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 can configure the encoding format of the
management address as string on the connecting port to guarantee normal communication with the
neighbor.
Follow these steps to configure a management address to be advertised and its encoding format on one
or a group of ports:

VLAN carried on the interface. If
