Displaying LLDP and LLDP-MED Settings

Displaying the

Basic LLDP

Configuration

To display the LLDP Civic, Coordinate, and ELIN locations, use the following procedures:

“Displaying the Basic LLDP Configuration” on page 232

“Displaying LLDP Port Assignments” on page 233

“Displaying Port Locations” on page 234

“Displaying LLDP TLV” on page 234

“Displaying LLDP-MED TLV” on page 236

For information about configuring LLDP and LLDP-MED, see “Configuring LLDP and LLDP-MED” on page 210

To display the basic LLDP configuration, do the following:

1.Select the Discovery & Monitoring tab.

The Discovery & Monitoring tab is displayed. See Figure 68 on page 201.

2.From the Discovery & Monitoring tab, select LLDP. The LLDP tab appears to the right.

3.From the LLDP tab, select the Basic Configuration tab.

The LLDP Configuration page is displayed. See Figure 76 on page 211.

The following fields are displayed:

Status— Indicates whether LLDP is enabled or disabled on the switch. By default, LLDP is disabled on the switch.

Timer— Specifies the transmit interval. The range is 5 to 32,768 seconds.

Fast Start Count— Indicates the fast start count for LLDP-MED. The fast start count determines how many fast start advertisements LLDP sends from a port when it begins sending LLDP-MED advertisements from a port, for instance when it detects a new LLDP-MED capable device. The default value is 3.

Holdtime Multiplier— Sets the holdtime multiplier value. The transmit interval is multiplied by the holdtime multiplier to give the Time To Live (TTL) the switch advertises to the neighbors. The range is 2 to 10.

Non Strict Med TLV Order Check— Sets the switch to accept LLDP-MED advertisements even if the TLVs are not in the
