Parameter Description
LLDP Parameters
Tx Interval The switch periodically transmits LLDP frames to its neighbours for having the
network discovery information up-to-date. The interval between each LLDP
frame is determined by the Tx Interval value. Valid values are restricted to 5 -
32768 seconds.
Tx Hold Each LLDP frame contains information about how long the information in the
LLDP frame shall be considered valid. The LLDP information valid period is set
to Tx Hold multiplied by Tx Interval seconds. Valid values are restricted to 2 -
10 times.
Tx Delay If some configuration is changed (e.g. the IP address) a new LLDP frame is
transmitted, but the time between the LLDP frames will always be at least the
value of Tx Delay seconds. Tx Delay cannot be larger than 1/4 of the Tx
Interval value. Valid values are restricted to 1 - 8192 seconds.
Tx Reinit When a port is disabled, LLDP is disabled or the switch is rebooted, an LLDP
shutdown frame is transmitted to the neighboring units, signaling that the LLDP
information is not valid anymore. Tx Reinit controls the number of seconds
between the shutdown frame and a new LLDP initialization. Valid values are
restricted to 1 - 10 seconds.
LLDP Port Configuration
The LLDP port settings relate to the currently selected stack unit, as reflected by the page header.
Port The switch port number of the logical LLDP port.
Mode Select LLDP mode.
Rx only: The switch will not send out LLDP information, but LLDP
information from neighbor units is analyzed.
Tx only: The switch will drop LLDP information received from
neighbors, but will send out LLDP information.
Disabled: The switch will not send out LLDP information, and drops
LLDP information received from neighbors.
Enabled: The switch will send out LLDP information, and will
analyze LLDP information received from neighbors.
CDP Aware The CDP operation is restricted to decoding incoming CDP frames
(The switch does not transmit CDP frames). CDP frames are only
decoded if LLDP on the port is enabled.
Only CDP TLVs that can be mapped to a corresponding field in the
LLDP neighbors' table are decoded. All other TLVs are discarded (
Unrecognized CDP TLVs and discarded; CDP frames are not
displayed in the LLDP statistics.). CDP TLVs are mapped onto
LLDP neighbors' table as shown below.
CDP TLV "Device ID" is mapped to the LLDP "Chassis ID" field.
CDP TLV "Address" is mapped to the LLDP "Management Address"
field. The CDP address TLV can contain multiple addresses, but
