Enabling LLDP polling
With LLDP polling enabled, a device searches for local configuration changes periodically. Upon
detecting a configuration change, the device sends LLDPDUs to inform the neighboring devices of the
change.
Follow these steps to enable LLDP polling:

Optional
By default, all types of
LLDP TLVs except the
location identification
TLV are advertisable on
a Layer 2 Ethernet port.
Configuring the management address and its encoding format
LLDP encodes management addresses in numeric or character string format in management address
TLVs.
By default, management addresses are encoded in numeric format. If a neighbor encoded its
management address in character string format, you must configure the encoding format of the
management address as string on the connecting port to guarantee normal communication with the
neighbor.
