Brocade Communications Systems 6650 manual Port description, System capabilities

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 some ports. For example, 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

•Telephone

•DOCSIS cable device

•Station only (devices that implement end station capability)

•Other
