Brocade Communications Systems 6650 manual Enabling Lldp Snmp notifications and Syslog messages

8 LLDP configuration

Use the show lldp command to view the configuration.

Specifying the maximum number of

LLDP neighbors per port

You can change the maximum number of LLDP neighbors for which LLDP data will be retained for each port. By default, the maximum number is four and you can change this to a value between one and 64.

For example, to change the maximum number of LLDP neighbors to six, enter the following command.

Brocade(config)#lldp max-neighbors-per-port 6

Syntax: [no] lldp max-neighbors-per-port <value>

Use the no form of the command to remove the static configuration and revert to the default value of four.

The <value> variable is a number from 1 to 64. The default is number of LLDP neighbors per port is four.

Use the show lldp command to view the configuration.

Enabling LLDP SNMP notifications and Syslog messages

SNMP notifications and Syslog messages for LLDP provide management applications with information related to MIB data updates and general status.

When you enable LLDP SNMP notifications, corresponding Syslog messages are enabled as well. When you enable LLDP SNMP notifications, the device will send traps and corresponding Syslog messages whenever there are changes to the LLDP data received from neighboring devices.

LLDP SNMP notifications and corresponding Syslog messages are disabled by default. To enable them, enter a command such as the following at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.

Brocade(config)#lldp enable snmp notifications ports e 1/1/1 to 1/1/2

The above command enables SNMP notifications and corresponding Syslog messages on ports 1/1/1 and 1/1/2. By default, the device will send no more than one SNMP notification and Syslog message within a five second period. If desired, you can change this interval. Refer to “Specifying the minimum time between SNMP traps and Syslog messages” on page 197.

Syntax: [no] lldp enable snmp notifications ports ethernet <stack-unit>/<slot>/<port>all

Specify the ethernet port in the <stack-unit>/<slot>/<port>format. Stack-unit is 1.

You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword to to specify ranges of ports, or a combination of both. To apply the configuration to all ports on the device, use the keyword all instead of listing the ports individually.
