switch(config)#protocol lldp

3. Configure the profile name.

Example of creating the unique profile name of “UK_LDP_IT”.

switch(conf-lldp)#profile UK_LLDP_IT

4.Specify a description for the profile.

Example description for the LLDP profile.

switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#description standard_profile_by_Jane

5. Enable the transmitting and receiving of LLDP frames.

switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#mode tx rx

6. Configure the transmission frequency of LLDP updates.

switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#hello 10
