Configuring LLDP global options
27
NOTE
Brocade recommends you use the operating system version for the description or use the
description from the chassis/entity MIB. Do not use special characters, such as #, $, !, @, as part of
the system name and description.
To specify a global system name and system description for the Brocade VDX hardware, perform
the following steps.
1. Issue the <edit-config> RPC to configure the <protocol> node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface namespace.
2. Under the <protocol> node, include the <lldp> node element, which resides in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-lldp namespace.
3. Under the <lldp> node, include the <system-name> leaf element, and set its value to a
descriptive name for the DCB switch.
4. Under the <lldp> node, include the <system-description> leaf element, and set its value to a
text string that provides additional information about the DCB switch.
The following example specifies a global system name and global system description.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rpc message-id="1104" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<edit-config>
<target>
<running/>
</target>
<config>
<protocol xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">
<lldp xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-lldp">
<system-name>Brocade_Alpha</system-name>
<system-description>IT_1.6.2_LLDP_01</system-description>
</lldp>
</protocol>
</config>
</edit-config>
</rpc>
<rpc-reply message-id="1104" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<ok/>
</rpc-reply>
Specifying a user description for LLDP
The user description is for network administrative purposes and is not seen by neighboring
switches.
To specify a user description for LLDP, perform the following steps.
1. Issue the <edit-config> RPC to configure the <protocol> node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface namespace.
2. Under the <protocol> node, include the <lldp> node element, which resides in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-lldp namespace.
3. Under the <lldp> node, include the <description> leaf element containing a user description.
The following example specifies a user description for LLDP.
