Configuring LLDP
9
The link-aggregation TLV indicates the following:
•
Whether the link is capable of being aggregated
•
Whether the link is currently aggregated
•
The primary trunk port
Brocade devices advertise link aggregation information about standard link aggregation (LACP) as
well as static trunk configuration.
By default, link-aggregation information is automatically advertised when LLDP is enabled on a
global basis. To disable this advertisement, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)#no lldp advertise link-aggregation ports e 2/12
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise link-aggregation ports ethernet <slotnum/portnum> | all
The link aggregation advertisement will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in
the CLI display output on the Brocade device (show lldp local-info).
Link aggregation: not capable
You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword to to specify ranges of ports, or a
combination of both. To apply the configuration to all ports on the device, use the keyword all
instead of listing the ports individually. Note that using the keyword all may cause undesirable
effects on some ports. For example, if you configure all ports to advertise their VLAN name, and
the configuration includes ports that are not members of any VLAN, the system will warn of the
misconfigurations on non-member VLAN ports. The configuration will be applied to all ports,
however, the ports that are not members of any VLAN will not send VLAN name advertisements.
MAC/PHY configuration status
The MAC/PHY configuration and status TLV includes the following information:
•
Auto-negotiation capability and status
•
Speed and duplex mode
•
Flow control capabilities for auto-negotiation
•
Port speed down-shift and maximum port speed advertisement
•
If applicable, indicates if the above settings are the result of auto-negotiation during link
initiation or of a manual set override action
The advertisement reflects the effects of the following CLI commands:
•
speed-duplex
•
flow-control
•
gig-default
•
link-config
By default, the MAC/PHY configuration and status information are automatically advertised when
LLDP is enabled on a global basis. To disable this advertisement, enter a command such as the
following.
BigIron RX(config)#no lldp advertise mac-phy-config-status ports e 2/4 to 2/12
The MAC/PHY configuration advertisement will appear similar to the following on the remote
device, and in the CLI display output on the Brocade device (show lldp local-info).
