Enabling LLDP-MED

When LLDP is enabled globally, LLDP-MED is enabled if the LLDP-MED capabilities TLV is also enabled. By default, the LLDP-MED capabilities TLV is automatically enabled. To enable LLDP, refer to “Enabling and disabling LLDP” on page 193.

NOTE

LLDP-MED is not enabled on ports where the LLDP operating mode is receive only or transmit only. LLDP-MED is enabled on ports that are configured to both receive and transmit LLDP packets and have the LLDP-MED capabilities TLV enabled.

Enabling SNMP notifications and Syslog messages for LLDP-MED topology changes

SNMP notifications and Syslog messages for LLDP-MED provide management applications with information related to topology changes. For example, SNMP notifications can alert the system whenever a remote Endpoint device is connected to or removed from a local port. SNMP notifications identify the local port where the topology change occurred, as well as the device capability of the remote Endpoint device that was connected to or removed from the port.

When you enable LLDP-MED SNMP notifications, corresponding Syslog messages are enabled as well. When you enable LLDP-MED SNMP notifications, the device will send traps and Syslog messages when an LLDP-MED Endpoint neighbor entry is added or removed.

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.

The system automatically sets the fast start repeat count to 3 when a Network Connectivity Device receives an LLDP packet from an Endpoint that is newly connected to the network.

NOTE: The LLDP-MED fast start mechanism is only intended to run on links between Network Connectivity devices and Endpoint devices. It does not apply to links between LAN infrastructure elements, including between Network Connectivity devices, or to other types of links.
