Configuring LLDP-MED TLVs
By default, the switch only sends LLDP packets until it receives LLDP-MED packets from the end
device. It will then send LLDP packets with MED TLVs as well. When the LLDP-MED entry has been

Using the lldp interface configuration command, you can configure the interface not to send the TLVs
listed in
Table 21-2
