Remote Management Address. The switch always includes an IP address
in its LLDP advertisements. This can be either an address selected by a default
process, or an address configured for inclusion in advertisements. Refer to "IP
Address Advertisements" on page 15-31.
Debug Logging. You can enable LLDP debug logging to a configured debug
destination (Syslog server and/or a terminal device) by executing the debug
lldp command. (For more on Debug and Syslog, refer to the Troubleshooting
appendix in the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.)
Note that the switch's Event Log does not record usual LLDP update messages.
