LLDP configuration 8
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 name
The system name is the system administratively assigned name, taken from the sysName MIB
object in MIB-II. The sysName MIB object corresponds to the name defined with the CLI command
hostname.
By default, the system name is automatically advertised when LLDP is enabled on a global basis.
To disable this advertisement, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config)#no lldp advertise system-name ports e 1/1/1 to 1/1/5
The system name will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI display
output on the Brocade device (show lldp local-info).
System name: “ICX6650-64 ”
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise system-name ports ethernet <stack-unit>/<slot>/<port>| all
Specify the ethernet port in the <stack-unit>/<slot>/<port> format. Stack-unit is 1.

802.1 capabilities
Except for the VLAN name, the Brocade ICX 6650 device will advertise the following 802.1
attributes when LLDP is enabled on a global basis:
•VLAN name (not automatically advertised)
•Untagged VLAN ID
VLAN name
The VLAN name TLV contains the name and VLAN ID of a VLAN configured on a port. An LLDPDU
may include multiple instances of this TLV, each for a different VLAN.
To advertise the VLAN name, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config)#lldp advertise vlan-name vlan 99 ports e 1/1/1 to 1/1/5
The VLAN name will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI display
output on the Brocade device (show lldp local-info).
VLAN name (VLAN 99): “Voice-VLAN-99”
