LLDP configuration and management

NOTE

You need to enter either the copy running-configstartup-configcommand or the write memory command to save your configuration changes to Flash so that they are not lost if there is a system reload or power outage.

Enabling LLDP globally

The protocol lldp command enables LLDP globally on all interfaces unless it has been specifically disabled on an interface. LLDP is globally enabled by default.

To enable LLDP globally, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.

1.Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2.Enter LLDP configuration mode.

switch(config)#protocol lldp

3. Use the no disable command to enable LLDP.

switch(conf-lldp)#no disable

Disabling and resetting LLDP globally

The protocol lldp command returns all configuration settings made using the protocol lldp commands to their default settings. LLDP is globally enabled by default.

To disable and reset LLDP globally, perform the following steps from global configuration mode. 1. Enter the protocol lldp command to enter LLDP configuration mode.

switch(config)#protocol lldp

2. Disable the LLDP protocol.

switch(conf-lldp)#no protocol lldp

Configuring LLDP global command options

After entering the protocol lldp command from global configuration mode, you are in LLDP configuration mode which is designated with the switch(conf-lldp)# prompt. Using the keywords in this mode, you can set non-default parameter values that apply globally to all interfaces.
