• Receive only (
rxonly
): This setting enables a port to receive and read LLDP packets from LLDP neighbors
and to store the packet data in the switch's MIB. However, the port does not transmit outbound LLDP packets.
This prevents LLDP neighbors from learning about the switch through that port.
• Disable (
disable
): This setting disables LLDP packet transmissions and reception on a port. In this state, the
switch does not use the port for either learning about LLDP neighbors or informing LLDP neighbors of its
presence.
SNMP notification
You can enable the switch to send a notification to any configured SNMP trap receiver(s) when the switch detects
a remote LLDP data change on an LLDP-enabled port (
Configuring SNMP notification support
on page 227).
Per-port (outbound) data options
The following table lists the information the switch can include in the per-port, outbound LLDP packets it
generates. In the default configuration, all outbound LLDP packets include this information in the TLVs transmitted
to neighbor devices. However, you can configure LLDP advertisements on a per-port basis to omit some of this
information (
Configuring a remote management address for outbound LLDP advertisements (CLI)
228).
