Quick Steps for Configuring 802.1AB
1
To enable the transmission and the reception of LLDPDUs on a port, use the
command.
For example:
-> lldp port 2/47 lldpdu tx-and-rx
2
To control per port notification status about a change in a remote device associated to a port, use the
command. For example:
-> lldp port 2/47 notification enable
3
To control per port management TLV to be incorporated in the LLDPDUs, use the
command. For example:
-> lldp port 2/47 tlv management port-description enable
4
Set the transmit time interval for LLDPDUs. To set the timer for a 50 second delay, use the
command. For example:
-> lldp transmit interval 50
5
Set the minimum time interval between successive LLDPDUs. To set the interval for a 20 second
delay, use the
command. For example:
-> lldp transmit delay 20
6
Set the LLDPDUs transmit fast start count required for LLDP Fast Restart mechanism to be activated.
Note. Optional
. Verify the LLDP per port statistics by entering the
command. For
example:
-> show lldp statistics
