Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual page 345

You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword to to specify ranges of ports, or a
combination of both. To apply the configuration to all ports on the device, use the keyword all
instead of listing the ports individually. Note that using the keyword all may cause undesirable
effects on some ports. For example, if you configure all ports to advertise their VLAN name, and
the configuration includes ports that are not members of any VLAN, the system will warn of the
misconfigurations on non-member VLAN ports. The configuration will be applied to all ports,
however, the ports that are not members of any VLAN will not send VLAN name advertisements.
System description
The system description is the network entity, which can include information such as the product
name or model number, the version of the system's hardware type, the software operating system
level, and the networking software version. The information corresponds to the sysDescr MIB
object in MIB-II.
To advertise the system description, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)#lldp advertise system-description ports e 2/4 to 2/12
The system description will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI
display output on the Brocade device (show lldp local-info):
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise system-description ports ethernet <slotnum/portnum> | all

System name
The system name is the system's administratively assigned, fully qualified domain name, taken
from the sysName MIB object in MIB-II. The sysName MIB object corresponds to the name defined
with the CLI command hostname.
By default, the system name is automatically advertised when LLDP is enabled on a global basis.
To disable this advertisement, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)#no lldp advertise system-name ports e 2/4 to 2/12
