Performing basic LLDP configuration

Enabling LLDP

To make LLDP take effect on specific ports, you must enable LLDP both globally and on these ports.
Follow these steps to enable LLDP:

To do…

Use the command… Remarks

Enter system view

Enable LLDP

lldp enable

Optional
By default, LLDP is enabled on a port.

Setting the LLDP operating mode

LLDP can operate in one of the following modes.

TxRx mode—A port in this mode sends and receives LLDPDUs.

Tx mode—A port in this mode only sends LLDPDUs.

Rx mode—A port in this mode only receives LLDPDUs.

Disable mode—A port in this mode does not send or receive LLDPDUs.

Follow these steps to set the LLDP operating mode:

Optional
TxRx by default.

Setting the LLDP re-initialization delay

When LLDP operating mode changes on a port, the port initializes the protocol state machines after a
certain delay. By adjusting the LLDP re-initialization delay, you can avoid frequent initializations caused

by frequent changes to the LLDP operating mode on a port.
Follow these steps to set the LLDP re-initialization delay for ports:
