Configuring a remote management address for outbound LLDP advertisements (CLI)

This is an optional command you can use to include a specific IP address in the outbound LLDP advertisements for specific ports. For more information, see Basic LLDP per-port advertisement content.

Syntax: 


[no] lldp config <port-list> ipAddrEnable <ip-address>

Replaces the default IP address for the port with an IP address you specify. This can be any IP address configured in a static VLAN on the switch, even if the port does not belong to the VLAN configured with the selected IP address.

The no form of the command deletes the specified IP address.

If there are no IP addresses configured as management addresses, the IP address selection method returns to the default operation.

Default: The port advertises the IP address of the lowest-numbered VLAN (VID) to which it belongs. If there is no IP address configured on the VLANs to which the port belongs, and if the port is not configured to advertise an IP address from any other (static) VLAN on the switch, the port advertises an address of 127.0.0.1.)

NOTE:

This command does not accept either IP addresses acquired through DHCP or Bootp, or IP addresses that are not configured in a static VLAN on the switch.

Example:

If port 3 belongs to a subnetted VLAN that includes an IP address of 10.10.10.100 and you want port 3 to use this secondary address in LLDP advertisements, you need to execute the following command: 

switch(config)# lldp config 3 ipAddrEnable 10.10.10.100

Syntax: 


[no] lldp config <port-list> basicTlvEnable <TLV-Type>

port_descr

For outbound LLDP advertisements, this TLV includes an alphanumeric string describing the port.(Default: Enabled)

system_name

For outbound LLDP advertisements, this TLV includes an alphanumeric string showing the assigned name of the system.(Default: Enabled)

system_descr

For outbound LLDP advertisements, this TLV includes an alphanumeric string describing the full name and version identification for the hardware type, software version, and networking application of the system.(Default: Enabled)

system_cap

For outbound advertisements, this TLV includes a bitmask of supported system capabilities (device functions). Also includes information on whether the capabilities are enabled.(Default: Enabled)

Example:

If you want to exclude the system name TLV from the outbound LLDP advertisements for all ports on a switch, use this command: 

switch(config)# no lldp config 1-24 basicTlvEnable system_name

If you later decide to reinstate the system name TLV on ports 1-5, use this command: 

switch(config)# lldp config 1-5 basicTlvEnable system_name
