Related Configuration Tasks

• Viewing the LLDP Configuration
• Viewing Information Advertised by Adjacent LLDP Agents
• Configuring LLDPDU Intervals
• Configuring Transmit and Receive Mode
• Configuring a Time to Live
• Debugging LLDP

Important Points to Remember

• LLDP is disabled by default.
• Dell Force10 systems support up to eight neighbors per interface.
• Dell Force10 systems support a maximum of 8000 total neighbors per system. If the number of
interfaces multiplied by eight exceeds the maximum, the system does not configure more than 8000.
• INTERFACE level configurations override all CONFIGURATION level configurations.
• LLDP is not hitless.

LLDP Compatibility

• Spanning tree and Force10 Ring Protocol "blocked" ports allow LLDPDUs.

CONFIGURATION versus INTERFACE Configurations

All LLDP configuration commands are available in PROTOCOL LLDP mode, which is a sub-mode of
CONFIGURATION mode and INTERFACE mode
• Configurations made at the CONFIGURATION level are global, that is, they affect all interfaces on
the system.
• Configurations made at the INTERFACE level affect only the specific interface. They override
CONFIGURATION level configurations.
