Port description
The port description TLV identifies the port from which the LLDP agent transmitted the
advertisement. The port description is taken from the ifDescr MIB object from MIB-II.
By default, the port description is automatically advertised when LLDP is enabled on a global basis.
To disable advertisement of the port description, enter the lldp advertise port-description ports
ethernet command.
Brocade(config)#no lldp advertise port-description ports e 2/4 to 2/12
The port 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).
Port description: “GigabitEthernet20”
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise port-description ports ethernet port list | all
For port list, specify the ports in the format [slotnum/]portnum, where slotnum is required on
chassis devices only. You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword to to specify a range
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. 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 capabilities
The system capabilities TLV identifies the primary functions of the device and indicates whether
these primary functions are enabled. The primary functions can be one or more of the following:
• Repeater
• Bridge
• WLAN access point
• Router
• Telephone
• DOCSIS cable device
• Station only (devices that implement end station capability)
• Other
System capabilities for Brocade devices are based on the type of software image in use.
By default, the system capabilities are automatically advertised when LLDP is enabled on a global
basis. To disable this advertisement, enter the lldp advertise system-capabilities ports ethernet
command.
Brocade(config)#no lldp advertise system-capabilities ports e 2/4 to 2/12
The system capabilities will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI
display output on the Brocade device (show lldp local-info).
System capabilities : bridge
Enabled capabilities: bridge
