Performing basic LLDP configurations
Enabling LLDP
To make LLDP take effect on specific ports, you must enable LLDP both globally and on these ports.
To use LLDP together with OpenFlow, you must enable LLDP globally on OpenFlow switches. As a
best practice to prevent L LDP from affecting topology discovery of OpenFlow controllers, disable
LLDP on ports of Ope nFlow instances. For more information about OpenFlow, see
OpenFlow

Setting the LLDP bridge mode
The following LLDP bridge modes are available:
•
Customer bridge mode
—LLDP supports nearest bridge agents, nearest non-TPMR bridge
agents, and nearest customer bridge agents. LLDP processes the LLDP frames with
destination MAC addresses for these agents and transparently transmits the LLDP frames with
other destination MAC addresses in the VLAN.
•
Service bridge mode
—LLDP supports nearest bridge agents and nearest non-TPMR bridge
agents. LLDP processes the LLDP frames with destination MAC addresses for these agents
and transparently transmits the LLDP frames with other destination MAC addresses in the
VLAN.
To set the LLDP bridge mode:
Step Command
