Important Points to Remember
•
LLDP is disabled by default.
•
Dell Force10 systems support up to 8 neighbors per interface.
•
Dell Force10 systems support a maximum of 8000 total neighbors per system. If the number of
interfaces multiplied by 8 exceeds the maximum, the system will 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.
•
802.1X controlled ports do not allow LLDPDUs until the connected device is authenticated.
CONFIGURATION versus INTERFACE Configurations
All LLDP configuration commands are available in PROTOCOL LLDP mode, which is a sub-mode of the
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, and they override
CONFIGURATION level configurations.
