Static And Dynamic Mac Address Tables; Link Layer Discovery Protocol (Lldp); Link Layer Discovery Protocol (Lldp) For Media Endpoint Devices; Connectivity Fault Management (Ieee 802.1Ag) - Dell Networking 7048 Configuration Manual

Static and Dynamic MAC Address Tables

You can add static entries to the switch's MAC address table and configure
the aging time for entries in the dynamic MAC address table. You can also
search for entries in the dynamic table based on several different criteria.
For information about viewing and managing the MAC address table, see
"Managing the MAC Address Table" on page 837.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

The IEEE 802.1AB defined standard, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP),
allows the switch to advertise major capabilities and physical descriptions.
This information can help you identify system topology and detect bad
configurations on the LAN.
For information about configuring LLDP , settings see "Discovering Network
Devices" on page 659.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) for Media Endpoint Devices

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol for Media Endpoint Devices (LLDP-
MED) provides an extension to the LLDP standard for network configuration
and policy, device location, Power over Ethernet management, and inventory
management.
For information about configuring LLDP-MED, settings see "Discovering
Network Devices" on page 659.

Connectivity Fault Management (IEEE 802.1ag)

The Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) feature, also known as Dot1ag,
supports Service Level Operations, Administration, and Management
(OAM). CFM is the OAM Protocol provision for end-to-end service layer
instance in carrier networks. The CFM feature provides mechanisms to help
you perform connectivity checks, fault detection, fault verification and
isolation, and fault notification per service in a network domain.
For information about configuring IEEE 802.1ag settings, see "Configuring
Connectivity Fault Management" on page 761.
