Optional Data

You can configure an individual port or group of ports to exclude one or more of the following data types from outbound LLDP advertisements.

• Port description (TLV)

• System name (TLV)

• System description (TLV)

• System capabilities (TLV)

  • System capabilities Supported (TLV subelement)

  • System capabilities Enabled (TLV subelement)

• Port speed and duplex (TLV subelement)

Optional data types, when enabled, are populated with data internal to the switch; that is, you cannot use LLDP commands to configure their actual content.
