enable lldp
Syntax
enable lldp
Description
This is a global control for the LLDP function. When this function is enabled, the
switch can start to transmit LLDP packets and receive and process the LLDP
packets. The specific function of each port will depend on the per port LLDP
settings. For the advertisement of LLDP packets, the switch announces the
information to its neighbor through ports. For the receiving of LLDP packets, the
switch will learn the information from the LLDP packets advertised from the
neighbor in the neighbor table. The default state for LLDP is disabled.
Parameters
None.
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To enable LLDP:
DGS-3700-12:5#enable lldp
Command: enable lldp
Success.
DGS-3700-12:5#
disable lldp
Purpose
To disable LLDP.
Syntax
disable lldp
Description
Use this command to disable LLDP. The switch will stop the sending and receiving of
LLDP advertisement packets.
Parameters
None.
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To disable LLDP:
DGS-3700-12:5#disable lldp
Command: disable lldp
Success.
DGS-3700-12:5#
config lldp
Purpose
To configure LLDP timer values.
Syntax
config lldp [message_tx_interval <sec 5-32768> | message_tx_hold_multiplier
<int 2-10> | tx_delay <sec 1-8192> | reint_delay <sec 1-10>]
Description
Use this command to configure LLDP timer values. The message TX interval controls
how often active ports retransmit advertisements to their neighbors. The message
TX hold multiplier is a multiplier on the msgTxInterval that is used to compute the
TTL value of tx TTL in an LLDPDU. The TTL will be carried in the LLDPDU
packet. The lifetime will be the minimum of 65535 and (message_tx_interval *
message_tx_hold_multiplier). On the partner switch, when the time-to-live for a
given advertisement expires, the advertised data is deleted from the neighbor
