LLDP Configuration Workflow
Following are examples of actions that can be performed with the LLDP feature
and in a suggested order. You can refer to the LLDP/CDP section for additional
guidelines on LLDP configuration. LLDP configuration pages are accessible under
the
LLDP and CDP section.
1. Enter LLDP global parameters, such as the time interval for sending LLDP
updates using the LLDP Properties page.
2. Configure LLDP per port by using the Port Settings page. On this page,
interfaces can be configured to receive/transmit LLDP PDUs, send SNMP
notifications, specify which TLVs to advertise, and advertise the device's
management address.
3. Create LLDP MED network policies by using the LLDP MED Network Policy
page.
4. Associate LLDP MED network policies and the optional LLDP-MED TLVs to the
desired interfaces by using the LLDP MED Port Settings page.
5. If Auto Smartport is to detect the capabilities of LLDP devices, enable LLDP in
the Properties page.
6. Display overloading information by using the LLDP Overloading page.
