Enabling LLDP Polling

With LLDP polling enabled, a device checks for local configuration changes periodically. Upon detecting

a configuration change, the device sends LLDP frames to inform the neighboring devices of the change.

Follow these steps to enable LLDP polling:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter Ethernet interface view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Required

Enable LLDP polling and set
the polling interval

Required

Disabled by default

Configuring the TLVs to Be Advertised

Follow these steps to configure the LLDPDU TLVs to be advertised out the specified port or ports:

Optional

By default, all types of
LLDP TLVs except
location identification
TLV are advertisable.

Configuring the Management Address

The management address of a device is used by the network management system to identify and

manage the device for topology maintenance and network management. The management address is

encapsulated in the management address TLV. LLDP encodes management addresses in numeric

format in management address TLVs.

Make sure that a neighbor also encodes its management address in numeric format to guarantee

normal communication with the neighbor.

Follow these steps to configure a management address to be advertised on a port:
