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 Administration > Discovery LLDP menu.
1. Enter LLDP global parameters, such as the time interval for sending LLDP
updates using the

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 switch'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
