LLDP configuration and management

NOTE
You need to enter either the copy running-config startup-config command or the write memory
command to save your configuration changes to Flash so that they are not lost if there is a system
reload or power outage.

Enabling LLDP globally

The protocol lldp command enables LLDP globally on all interfaces unless it has been specifically
disabled on an interface. LLDP is globally enabled by default.
To enable LLDP globally, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter LLDP configuration mode.
3. Use the no disable command to enable LLDP.

Disabling and resetting LLDP globally

The protocol lldp command returns all configuration settings made using the protocol lldp
commands to their default settings. LLDP is globally enabled by default.
To disable and reset LLDP globally, perform the following steps from global configuration mode.
1. Enter the protocol lldp command to enter LLDP configuration mode.
2. Disable the LLDP protocol.

Configuring LLDP global command options

After entering the protocol lldp command from global configuration mode, you are in LLDP
configuration mode which is designated with the switch(conf-lldp)# prompt. Using the keywords in
this mode, you can set non-default parameter values that apply globally to all interfaces.
