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, for example, the IP address of the
management port. 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
2.3.4 (Optional) Configuring an LLDP Management
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
2.3.2 Enabling Global LLDP
After LLDP is enabled on the switch and its neighbors, the switch and its neighbors obtain status
information of each other by exchanging LLDP packets. The NMS obtains Layer 2 connection
status from the switch for network topology analysis.
