NOTE
The LLDP management address contained in an LLDP packet is used to identify a device. Therefore, the
management address of a device must be unique and easy to manage. The IP address to be set as the
management address must already exist on the device. That is, this IP address must be configured before
3.3.4 (Optional) Configuring an LLDP Management Address
Data Preparation
To configure LLDP, you need the following data.
No.
Data
1
IP address to be set as the LLDP management address
2
(Optional) Interval for sending LLDP packets
3
(Optional) Delay to send LLDP packets
4
(Optional) Hold time multiplier of device information stored on neighbors
5
(Optional) Delay to re-enable the LLDP function on an interface
6
(Optional) Delay to send neighbor change traps to the NMS
3.3.2 Enabling Global LLDP
After LLDP is enabled on the router and its neighbors, the router and its neighbors obtain status
information of each other by exchanging LLDP packets. The NMS obtains Layer 2 connection
status from the router for network topology analysis.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
lldp enable
LLDP is enabled globally.
----End
3.3.3 (Optional) Disabling LLDP on an Interface
After global LLDP is enabled, all the interfaces on the device are enabled with LLDP. To disable
LLDP on some interfaces, run the
undo lldp enable
command on the interface.
Prerequisites
LLDP has been enabled globally.
