LLDP Port Configuration
The LLDP port settings relate to the currently selected stack unit, as
reflected by the page header.
Port
The switch port number of the logical LLDP port.
Mode
Select LLDP mode.
Rx only The switch will not send out LLDP information, but LLDP
information from neighbour units is analyzed.
Tx only The switch will drop LLDP information received from neighbours,
but will send out LLDP information.
Disabled The switch will not send out LLDP information, and will drop LLDP
information received from neighbours.
Enabled The switch will send out LLDP information, and will analyze LLDP
information received from neighbours.
CDP Aware
Select CDP awareness.
The CDP operation is restricted to decoding incoming CDP frames (The
switch doesn't transmit CDP frames). CDP frames are only decoded if LLDP
on the port is enabled.
Only CDP TLVs that can be mapped to a corresponding field in the LLDP
neighbours' table are decoded. All other TLVs are discarded ( Unrecognized
CDP TLVs and discarded CDP frames are not shown in the LLDP
statistics.). CDP TLVs are mapped onto LLDP neighbours' table as shown
below.
CDP TLV "Device ID" is mapped to the LLDP "Chassis ID" field.
CDP TLV "Address" is mapped to the LLDP "Management Address" field.
The CDP address TLV can contain multiple addresses, but only the first
address is shown in the LLDP neighbours table.
CDP TLV "Port ID" is mapped to the LLDP "Port ID" field.
CDP TLV "Version and Platform" is mapped to the LLDP "System
Description" field.
Both the CDP and LLDP support "system capabilities", but the CDP
capabilities cover capabilities that are not part of the LLDP. These
capabilities are shown as "others" in the LLDP neighbours' table.
If all ports have CDP awareness disabled the switch forwards CDP frames
received from neighbour devices. If at least one port has CDP awareness
enabled all CDP frames are terminated by the switch.
Note: When CDP awareness on a port is disabled the CDP information isn't
removed immediately, but gets when the hold time is exceeded.
