Legacy-Ring Interface
Note:
1. When the X-Ring+ function is enabled, the user must disable the RSTP function. The X-Ring+
and RSTP functions cannot work simultaneously on a switch.
2. Remember to execute the “Save Configuration” action, otherwise the new configuration will
lose when the switch powers off.
5.2.21 LLDP Configuration
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), a one way protocol, specified in the IEEE 802.1AB standard
allows stations attached to the same IEEE 802 LAN to advertise their information to neighbors
and store the information received from adjacent stations.
Receivers on the same physical LAN will store the information distributed via LLDP in a standard
Management Information Base (MIB) where the information can be accessed by a Network
Management System (NMS) using a protocol like the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP).
LLDP runs on all 802 media. The protocol runs over the data-link layer only, allowing two systems
running different network layer protocols to learn about each other.
• LLDP Protocol: Click the pull-down menu to disable or enable the LLDP function.
• LLDP Interval: Type the value in seconds as the interval for the switch to advertise its
information to other nodes.
• Click Apply to have the configuration take effect.
