11.1. Configuration#

The following commands are available to configure LLDP:

lldp enable#: Enable the support for the LLDP protocol.

lldp hostname HOSTNAME...#: Set the system name that is passed to the neighbors. By default, the system name is passed, configured with the hostname NAME command.

lldp description DESCRIPTION...#: Set the system description that is passed to the neighbors. By default, the string NFWare virtual Carrier Grade NAT is passed.

lldp portidsubtype <mac|name>#: Set the type of the interface identifier that is passed to the neighbors. By default, the MAC address is used.

lldp tx-interval (1-3600)#: Set the interval between sending the LLDP PDUs in seconds. By default, the message is sent once every 30 seconds.

lldp hold-multiplier (2-10)#: Set the LLDP hold miltiplier. This parameter is used to calculate the LLDP TTL. The LLDP TTL is calculated as the product of the tx-interval and the hold-multiplier. By default, this parameter is set to 4, so the default LLDP TTL is 120 seconds.

lldp update#: Send the LLDP PDU without the tx-interval delay. The command can be used to immediately send updated information about the system to your neighbors after a configuration change.
