Lldp Receive Features

BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide

Types of Information Received

When the LLDP receive option is enabled on a port (see “Enabling or Disabling LLDP” on page 346), the port may receive the following information from LLDP-capable remote systems:

Chassis Information

Port Information

LLDP Time-to-Live

Port Description

System Name

System Description

System Capabilities Supported/Enabled

Remote Management Address

The G8124 stores the collected LLDP information in the MIB. Each remote LLDP-capable device is responsible for transmitting regular LLDP updates. If the received updates contain LLDP information changes (to port state, configuration, LLDP MIB structures, deletion), the switch will set a change flag within the MIB for convenient notification to SNMP-based management systems.

Viewing Remote Device Information

LLDP information collected from neighboring systems can be viewed in numerous ways:

Using a centrally-connected LLDP analysis server

Using an SNMP agent to examine the G8124 MIB

Using the G8124 Browser-Based Interface (BBI)

Using CLI or isCLI commands on the G8124

Using the CLI the following command displays remote LLDP information:

RS G8124(config)# show lldp remote-device [<index number>]

To view a summary of remote information, omit the Index number parameter. For example:

RS G8124(config)# show lldp remote-device
