Brocade ICX 6650 Administration Guide 201

LLDP configuration 8
The <ipv4 address> or <ipv6 address> or both variables are the addresses that may be used to
reach higher layer entities to assist discovery by network management. In addition to management
addresses, the advertisement will include the system interface number associated with the
management address.
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 specify a range 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.
Port description
The port description TLV identifies the port from which the LLDP agent transmitted the
advertisement. The port description is taken from the ifDescr MIB object from MIB-II.
By default, the port description is automatically advertised when LLDP is enabled on a global basis.
To disable advertisement of the port description, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config)#no lldp advertise port-description ports e 1/1/1 to 1/1/5
The port description will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI display
output on the Brocade device (show lldp local-info).
Port description: “GigabitEthernet20”
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise port-description 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. Note that using the keyword all may cause undesirable
effects on s ome port s. For exam ple, if you configure all ports to advertise their VLAN name, and the
configuration includes ports that are not members of any VLAN, the system will warn of the
misconfigurations on non-member VLAN ports. The configuration will be applied to all ports,
however, the ports that are not members of any VLAN will not send VLAN name advertisements.
System capabilities
The system capabilities TLV identifies the primary functions of the device and indicates whether
these primary functions are enabled. The primary functions can be one or more of the following
(more than one for example, if the device is both a bridge and a router):
•Repeater
•Bridge
•WLAN access point
•Router
•Telep hone
•DOCSIS cable device
•Station only (devices that implement end station capability)
•Other
